>>220216250>reboot / decanonize disney onions warsIt’s literally dead as long as the ST and all the D+ slop is still considered canon. Real fans use the legends canon
>>220216250Adapt those tales of the jedi comics. Give them better pacing and setup. Exar Kun turns to dark side too fast for example
>>220216250Let it die.But no really if you have to do SOMETHING?KOTOR movie but its before the games. Smuggler/trader guy interacting with the world and jedi and sith are treated like the nightmare beings they are, to be avoided if at all possible and you better have a vibroblade just in case. At least the first 1/3rd of the movie have 0 lightsabers or force powers outside of maybe being mentioned offhandedly by a character. End with Revan as a "good guy" finishing a conflict to help the main character.

>>220216250Return copyright to its original "28 years-with-one-extension" length so it would've been public domain back in 2005, so anyone could make a star wars universe movie.The market's quite good at sorting out good vs. dogshit movies, lots of good directors who would be doing good work in the EU if it wasn't a guaranteed lawsuit by the mouse.
>>220216250The one thing Disney refuses to even consider:>A Logan-type film following old-man Luke Skywalker as he travels across the galaxy trying to save some padawan or some shit.>No mention of Ahsoka, Ezra, Bo Katan or any other Filoni-wank>no prior knowledge is needed going in other than Luke Skywalker is the hero who saved the day a few decades earlier
>>220216250Nothing can save Star Wars.
>>220216250katarn getting the light saber and becoming a jedi was a mistake which ruins itnothing to save anymore anywaystar wars belongs to lucas
>>220216250I know exactly how they could but they never would do it and they don’t deserve to even hear the idea
>>220216250It is necessary to reboot from post-ROTJ. Maybe erase the prequels as well or at least leave it ambiguous. Certain decent character types should come back with a blank slate. Mandalorian for instance would work well if it was just about being a badass mean stoic bounty hunter doing RPG stuff, building up his arsenal and having cryptic flashbacks while engaging in deranged cult rituals. He'd be in a spin-off movie series, if he cameos in the main movies it would be explicitly as an adversary that hates jedi. Main line movies would follow Luke at first and introduce other pov characters like Kyle.

just let it die
Introduce Luke's son and make up some reason why nobody knew about him. It has to be a son, not a daughter, and he has to be white. No his mother can't be black.Rey finds the son and tells him that she's there to return his family name to him because she realizes she shouldn't have taken it for herself. She can train him I guess, I dunno. At some point have a scene where the son says "I am a Jedi, like my father before me, and his father before him" and have ghostly figures of Luke and Anakin appear behind him. Fanboys will cum in their adult diapers and cough up their money, no questions asked.

>>220216250Don't care about Disney but I've got entire seasons plotted out for when I get a computer with enough oomph to generate 30-minute videos.
Let it die.
>>220216250Emma Myers as a Confederate bounty hunter leading a sentient tactical squad right when the Droid armies go offline. They get forced into hiding and need to survive under the reign of the first few bloody months of the Empire.
Use that World Between Worlds bullshit to just unmake the Sequels
>>220216786Neat. But Luke has his full capabilities and does not die in the end.
>>220216250Everything post amd pre OT is non canon.Do the thrawn triology. Recast everyone.Or just do another stand alone movie, possibly couple hundred years into the future
>>220216250Bury it for 30 years. Just stop making content for it, stop marketing it completely. Then bring it back.
>>220216250Get rid of Mary Sue archetype characters and shrink the stakes. We don't need to save the galaxy every movie. Focus on character development instead of plot.
After playing the Dark Forces games again, there's a lot of overlap between Kyle and Cassian Andor.
It's time we start talking about Mara Jade.
>>220218742>It's time we start talking about Mara Jade.
>>220218742well she's hotand uh
>>220216339Visions was pretty bad.
>>220216250They had the chance with season 1 of the mandalorian, and instead of continuing with low stakes lone wolf and cub they stuffed season 2 with ads to other shows no one cared about and had Luke break up the duo. Thus establishing a pattern of “if any new entry into the franchise is successful we will immediately tie the rest of the franchise to its neck and strangle it.”The George Lucas spent almost two decades poisoning the brand, tlj set it on fire, 9 burnt it to cinders, mandalorian season 1 almost rose from the ashes, then season 2 dumped an Olympic swimming pool of water on the brand. It’s so beyond over it’s not even funny.
>>220216250I would let it die
Would it have killed them to at least put in a cool space battle?
>>220218783>We want to have a female lead in your new Star Wars trilogy, should we use Luke's wife, having her be the lead while also presenting Luke (beloved childhood hero of many people) as having a healthy loving family?>nah make a new oc Palpatin granddaughter and make Luke a senile retard and kill him off lmaoWhy do they do this?
>>220218756It's time for you to GET OUT
>>220216250don't make anything more for 5 years minimum. even longer is preferable. give people time to actually absorb everything they shit out so fast. let desire for more stuff build. but they wont, all they know is number go up/ must sell toys and cereal
>>220216250Ban RLM from making Star Wars reviews.
>>220218887They’re chasing an imagined demographic that wants to like star wars but hates all the characters.
>>220216250I think it might be cool if they make a spaghetti western style Star wars film, maybe
>>220218974boba Fett and mandalorian dabbled a little with that. more so in boba Fett. they had a town sheriff, dusty desert town, an actual bad guy with a cowboy hat who literally did quick draw style shootouts with people in the middle of the road.
>Wakey wakey Benny!What the fuck were they thinking?
>>220217653>These threads are datamining to do exactly the opposite of the suggestions.They should make a movie based on The Acolyte. They left it on such a cliff-hanger and I really want to know what happens next. You could have it where the twins gain access to the backrooms time area and kill off both the jedi and sith and then build the galaxy anew. Maybe the force witches come back and they determine that men were the problem all along and so only allow women in positions of power. There could be an epic battle where the twins, Rey, Ashoka, Leia, and Katarn all fight Windu, Luke, Plagius, Darth Jar Jar, and Vader because they refuse to let go of toxic masculinity and embrace a new female force. Obviously the girls win. I think Disney should do that. It's sure to be a box office blow out
>>220219063>let's give a retard full access with a history of not liking star wars to writing and directing a star wars movie
>>220216250CANON
>>220218899Anyone else surprised by how good of an actor george was in this?
>>220219152you think he was acting? kekbut yes, he actually understands that acting is all about commitment.
>>220219152George is a funny guy
>>220218756>>220218899George wasn't a fan of MJ?
>>220219133Why does George Lucas hate the idea of Luke having a happy loving family so much? If they wanted a female lead for their new Star Wars trilogy then she should have been the obvious choice.
>>220216250Just move on. Ignore everything about the other trilogies and set it 10.000 years or so later, to the point everything that happend has faded into legend, then tell a new story. Make it about a Cold Wars between the republic, allied with the Jedi, and a new Empire, led by the Sith. Tell the story from the point of view of a Dark Side Apprentice serving a minor Sith Lord until he rebels and kills his master, thus inheriting his domain. Then chronicle his rise and fall.In terms of setting, we sort of "move" the timeline forward. Since Star Wars was WW2 in Space with Medieval Wizard Knights, this new trilogy will be Cold War in Space but with Early Modern Lords and Landsknechts. The Empire would be like the Holy Roman Empire, were there would be a central Emperor with feuding minor Lords fighting for position.
>>220219220Looks like some bootleg electra junk
>>220219212He doesn't care for anything outside of the 6 movies and TCW, and he knows it's funny that he hates everything else
>>220219063nu acting is atrocious. Why is he frowning like that and why does THE LUKE SKYWALKER look so disheveled?
>>220219304>I'm le old character who you loved as a kid and I'm sad and scared now
>>220219304dude is like 60 there and Disney is forcing him to do this. Harrison was smart and asked to be killed off, otherwise they'd make him do this shit till he's 90
>>220219304It's from Kylo's recollection of the scene, which makes Luke appear more deranged and evil. When they show Luke's recollection he doesn't look like that.
>>220219344In his defense, Luke Skywalker is basically all he has. Harrison Ford had many other roles, especially Indiana Jones (which he is still doing, and it's awful).
>>220219344Harrison Ford wanted to be killed off so bad that they literally froze Han Solo
>>220219091They should unironically do this because I want them to lose even more money.
>>220216250Fuck you Disney, I'm not giving you my amazing ideas for free
>>220219212>>220219220he was unlucky in love and thought his namesake should be the same
>>220216250Find a REALLY (I mean, a top-tier one) good writer, and ask him to rewrite the OT as a TV show of three seasons. Everything is a whole new canon. Then, do the same for the PT, mantaining some bits but having the freedom to remove others. And, after all, make other three seasons for the ST: you can stick to the plan of Lucas, and the other TV shows mentioned could be also based on Lucas' view.This would create a new canon with new faces for Luke, Han and Leia, and a more cohesive narrative overall, plus this would justify a separate continuity without undoing the actual Disney canon, while having something that is NOT the ST, that is basically a dead end for Star Wars movie saga.
>>220218742>>220218783Luke Skywalker was the original "I can fix her"
>>220216250Pregnant Hershlag as pregnant Padme.
Do the Kyle Katarn Dark forces story line. Follow it up with Mysteries of the Sith and the training of Mara Jade. Make her absolute coom bait the likes of ReyAi posters.
>>220219238A sort of cold war situation was present during the Fel Empire, if I'm not wrong, but I think that having a more fragmented Galaxy, with far more factions than just two of them would be ideal. The Fel Empire would have been a very cool concept to start with too: having the galaxy split in half, with what is left of the Empire not in the hand of the Sith, but in the hands of royalists with a dinasty, while the New Republic is a restoration of the old system, with the two parts of the galaxy to work and cooperate against new guerrillas actions from isolated sith cults (no yuzhaan vong bullshit) or with those cults using diplomacy and deception to mud the Empire/New Republic relationship and trying to take control of as much systems as they can through public figures controlled by them in the shadows, maybe even bringing to a new conception of the Sith and having a sort of "Sith federation".
>>220216250I would have space ships having battles with logical stakes and women in sexy slave costumes.
>>220216250I would plunge a dagger into my own beating heart.
>>220220215>just turn it into loghI'd like it, but I don't know that it would have the kind of mass appeal they're looking for.
Give it to me.I'm serious.I will save Star Wars.Me.Yes.I will do it.I will return Star Wars to its rightful glory.Every teenage boy will quote it, become obsessed with it and want products from it again and wath it endlessly.Every teenage girl will be swept up in the young and sexy leads and wish to be swept up off their feets into aventure with the heroines.Every father will be buying Star Wars toys for their kids for decadea.Every mother will e dressing ip for the father in the sexiest Star Wars themed costumes when she isn't dressing the whole family in costumes for Halloween.I will do it.I will endeavour to make it better than it ever has been. That and more.Give it to me.
>>220220419I think that Prequel Trilogy has a waaaay more confusing plot, while the situation I've just presented would have a very new and shifting dynamic while still having battles, new cool droids/ships, new planets with unique aesthetic... Star Wars and the novelties presented in each movie are basically a byproduct of the power dynamics moving between the various factions/people involved, and that's what really make the PT so iconic despite I is a huge pile of shit as a movie and ep II is mediocre at best.
>>220220563Oh yeah? How?
1. Rey gets pregnant with Kylo's baby, Finn gets pipe laid in him by Poe.2. Reboot in the future, Republic and Jedi vs Empire and Sith. 3. Past stories? Follow the comics n shit or just forget it altogether.
>>220217512I guess at some point a reboot is the only way to go, maybe like how Godzilla has alt. continuation with the common source of the original film. But at that point, they may as well just reboot in toto.
>>220218887The ST plot was like saying Jesus failed and the spawn of Satan won
>>220216250I wouldnt save it id just listen
Wouldn't you and your overlords like to know, Disney Mom.
>>220216250There's nothing to save. Disney has thoroughly torched the franchise, salted the earth, and sold the survivors into slavery abroad. You can't just fix it by retconning some movies or making a couple new good ones. They should have stamped down on hating the fans 9 years ago but they didn't. They doubled down, tripled down even until they turned one of the most diehard fandoms into a graveyard. You can't even garner ragebait engagement from it now because the former fans have moved on to other things. Kathleen Kennedy killed Star Wars. She took possibly one of the most profitable 'can't lose money' IPs and made it the biggest 'can't make money' IP. It's entirely her fault and that will be her legacy.
>>220216250New shows/films/books can only use original characters, planets, etc. Instead of making more new games, make a singular open-world RPG that:>Will be primarily singleplayer with multiplayer Blast/Conquest/Racing/Sabaac/Chess/ training sim RTS modes for multiplayer>Will have established planets and then procedurally generated ones in order to get the scale of the galaxy set right>is originally shipped with both starts at TPM or ROTJ though not necessarily in those movies-- just at those periods in galactic history. There will eventually be a start for each movie>Primarily procedurally generated characters, cities, etc. I'm not a fan of it being seamless if it means the environments get richer but that would be what we're eventually pushing for. probably has to be online-only even for singleplayer as player's PCs don't have the compute necessaryWhat is actually feasible:>Battlefront 3 consisting of:>Full campaigns for each faction (especially where nobody defects from the fucking Empire or otherwise denigrates its ideals. GENUINE Imperials and Separatists)>Have one star system be a sort of Planetside 2 - For Honor system set during TCW, where you either fight for the Republic or Confederacy in a set match. The score of this match (and casualty count) affect the front-lines within the map.>Addendum: There is more to the GAR than fucking Clones. I'm not a fan of classes (just let the player build what they want within fun and believability) but the Republic needs non-Clone army and space unitsor>Imperial Commandoor>giving Squadrons a Clone Wars modeor>remastering old games with modern graphics (NOT changing gameplay) for half-to-whole priceor>Empire At War 2or stop fucking making games and shows. Return to making books, revive Battlefront 2, and just sit on the IP for a minimum of two years
>>220219220>Why does George Lucas hate the idea of Luke having a happy loving family so much?He actuall.y for his own writting and considered prequel jedi order as what jedi should always be.
>>220216250Mark all media post Empire as noncanonical and start over from there. Practical effects only and no name actors only. It must be written by a heterosexual man also.
>>220216250Replace psychopathic corporations that control everything with actual humans that have empathy. That's how you save literally every beloved media franchise that has been tainted.
>>220216250Pretend the sequels were all a dream or time jump 1000 years into the future with a non blackrock approved pozzed story about cool politics and wars and people rediscovering the hidden orders of jedis and sith or how those orders that were just a legend were actually doing shit in the shadows or algoAlso Maulie is still alive
>>220216250make a trilogy of 'prequels' thrown so far back into the past that everything that happens in them is ultimately inconsequential to the plot of the lucas filmsit's be about the old republic and the ancient sith empire, that kinda shit not a kotor adaptation though
>>220216250Just make good movies
>>220216250Fire Kathleen Kennedy
Dig up the scripts from the Star Wars: Underworld TV series -- they've got to be out there somwhere, rotting away -- and shoot the son of a bitch and release it old-school style, one episode a week for 20-30 weeks. Put Favreau in charge.
>>220216250Start over with the oldest lore. The discovery of wielding the Force, the birth of the Sith and the Jedi Order. Complete with light sabers on power cords and all the crappy old tech. Start new lore to accentuate the existing stuff we already remember. Give a breath of life back into a beloved franchise. Write compelling and emotionally complex characters, let the audience know who's ass is farting and what it's farting for. If Star Wars has any hope at all, it rests in originality and creativity. Rich Evans was correct when he said the franchise was creatively bankrupt. Let a new generation of fans have a classic story of good v. evil without being burdened by the obsessive devotion to old lore. Make something engaging and new! Take a risk!
>>220216250just do the best Legends books
>>220225430This.>look THIS cameo will save the franchise!>THIS self-masturbatory Filoni project will save the franchise!>THIS demographic that has never cared about SW before will save the franchise!>less jedi and force!>more jedi and force!>ignore the prequel era!>no, embrace the prequel era!Literally just get writers who don't fucking suck ass, like the guys who did Andor, and put them in charge of everything.
>>220225560>Put Favreau in charge.LOLLMAO
>>220225430Lmao
>>220218597I think making everyone a hero to begin with is the problem, Boba Fett was butchered when they made him stop doing shady bounty hunter stuff

>>220217996This is gonna be Star Wars Starfighter. Screen shot this post

>>220225753i couldn't watch Andor because the mexican accent was distracting
>>220216250Make Andor but for Jedi, give us this super realistic very lived in Jedi story where its super magical and nobody knows what Jedi are, its long after Order 66 on a remote planet and some teenager gets force sensitive. When you see him get his lightsaber by finding some piece of paper laying around a ship, it feels like a triumph of the will. Its like looking at it with fresh eyes from a character who is figuring all this out on his own. The guy is doing some kind of Flash Gordon type of bad guy with a Fu Manchu as homage. Its more about the characters you grow to love then the Jedi crap.
>>220226649Shut the fuck up you retarded mouse nigger cock sucking faggot. It was over after tfa. Fucking kill yourself.
>>220226233would be cool, but won’t save the franchise.
>>220216250You can't, star wars can't exist in a browning america, it's at odds with diversity culture and the lgbtq agenda, they just spent ten years proving it, all they care about is your skin color and sexual orientation, women need to act like men, white males need to be erased along with heterosexual centric culture
>>220216250Yellow piss sabers are not cool
>>220226564Make sure to get the Disney logo in plain view at all times
Like Leia every female MC needs to go through a sexy humiliation ritual, if not that then at least 1 scene where they're dressed all sexy for no explained reason like Padme when she wore that 1 dress in AOTC or whatever. Even "no bully, this is for duh childrun!!!!" Hack Lucas had fan service in his supposed children's movies.
>>220218742>>220218783Does the carpet match her drapes?
Behind Enemy Lines, but Star Wars. A Rebel pilot goes down on a hostile planet. It can be a Hutt or an Imperial planet.
>>220216250By ending it all. It's beyond saving anyway, most of the franchise is made up of bad films now
>>220216250Remake the first 6 movies from the Empire's point of view. Also, make Darth Jar Jar canon.
>>220221453Wouldn't you and your jewish overlords like to know, Disney mom. Fix your own fucked up franchise along with your trooned out kids.
>>220216250Give it back to George Lucas and put a hard ban on any new projects for the next 20+ years. Just keep the first 6 films as canon and restore the extended universe before Disney took over. Restore Lucasfilm Games and make good games based only on the established canon I mentioned.
first: allow aliens to be sexy again
>>220216250should've reimagined the franchise from the ground up when they first bought it
>>220216250By letting go.
>>220216250Film a fourth prequel by deaging Hayden Christiansen, Ewan MacGregor, Sam Jackson, Natalie Portman, and Ian McDiarmid. Set it between 2 and 3. Basically just fix up potholes to make the prequels better and give the trilogy one last swan song after 20+ years.
>>220216250sadly the damage is done to the brand and the name forever or at least for a while because they sure as fuck are going to keep damaging it.I suspect this si being done for a reason, IM sure lucas was forced to sell it to the whiteslavers as he put it.Although IF they had done it right, I would have never commented on the state of the EU (legends) until we saw how the first new film would perform.The film would be KOTOR, I'd get Chris Avolone and George Lucas to write it.See how it does, do another, maybe look into next thing from there, prob keep old EU.Figure out what makes the most sense.This is past tense. Truly I don't know what would salvage the brand at this point.
make good movie
A 30 minute short film where Sabine Wren gets taken as a slave by Jabba the Hutt and is forced to grind against him until she has a shivering forces orgasm before the rebel crew rescue her. It will be called Broken Beskar, because that's what her slave bikini is made from. She will also be barefoot the whole time, it's highly important for the aesthetic and plot.
>>220216250Make a Filoni series about Kyle Katarn where he just bunnyhops around shouting "HUNH HUNH HUNH" like a retard and nothing else. Jan gets railed by a black dude
>>220216250Jar Jar as a Sith (lord?) would unironically have been the best move.Its one of the main stories in the Foundation books in the trilogy. It's a good story.
Well it's for babies and it's weird so many childless men's live revovle around it and demand it caters to their weird politics. Babies don't care for movies, so I guess make it a minecraft skin or do whatever roblox is.
>>220216250Lay the whole thing to rest for a decade. Give the stores a chance to put all the unsellable crap out of their stores once and for all, and for the fan base a chance to put all the shit out of their heads to focus on the nostalgia stuff. And use that time to come up with one really bad-ass script that gets SW fans to remember why they once loved it so much. BUT that's not the Disney approach. Their approach is a steady stream of shit even thugh all it does is keep on damaging the brand. People have had too much of it. The fanbase needs a break. Shoveling more shit only makes the fan base burn out more.
>>220216250End it. No more new content. Just end it.
>>220216250Kyle katarn, like in your op pic, OP. He was the true chosen one. Disney wants to retcon everything star wars anyways. Let's get a Kyle katarn movie and make him the true chosen one. Oh and his outfit is perfect for a female lead. Man I want to see xer scream when the force blasts the Jedi souls to oblivion.
>>220216250>How would you save Star Wars?By realizing Star Wars is and was "just another franchise" and moving on to greener pastures. Maybe, one day, the corpse of Star Wars will feed a field I will return to, but until then I'm moving on. There are better horizons.
>>220216250Add a set of villains who are a gang of non-physical non-three-dimensional malevolent celestial bodies who are also criminals and outlaws, and their goal is to infiltrate the galaxy by remotely possessing individuals who carry those celestial bodies’ differently associated sins from lightyears away, their purpose being to force incompatible races and cultures to exist in increasingly incompatible space, fan conflict between them, destroy and subjugate the human soul with advanced vampirism techniques, so they can destroy the galaxy and feast on its psychic death scream before traveling to the new galaxybYour villain should be a malevolent binary star, one old and dying but kept alive by the smaller blue one who absorbs its dying star gas. Hopefully some crab people from the crab nebula
>>220216522true
>>220216250Killing all fans.
>>220219370Mark Hamill spent more time dubbing the Joker than playing Luke.
>>220216250I wouldn't save Star Wars, I would listen to what it had to say. And that's what nobody did.
>>220235264Disney already did that
Say "our bad, forget the last 15 years" and then do what they should've done all along and just adapt the EU greatest hits. Especially since they love to use their little de-aging CG stuff
>>220216462Ain't it hilarious how this movement died the moment video evidence showed it was blacks attacking Asians.
De-canonize everything Disney created. Ask George for his plot outlines for his vision for the finale three films and release them as a very well designed BOOK. Put everything into making a KOTOR type game set in the original trilogy. Bring the nerds back, then go from there.
>>220218561>Do the thrawn triologyWhy do you nerds dickride these books? They're mid.
>>220216250SW is done matte. Whatever Disney is making is not SW and is beyond saving anyways. Stories that have no ending are not stories at all.
Reboot the OT with the Prequel actors. Hayden as Vader and Ewan as Obi-Wan.
Kathleen Kennedy is almost single handedly responsible for the chudification of american young men. She took one of their favorite toys, forced the characters to kneel to women, then subverted it to pwn you and now these niggas spend all day online getting mad at shit instead. Great job you dumb bitch
>>220235846they already did that concept with the sequels
>>220216250I wouldn't save Star Wars, I would let it end, and that's what nobody did.
>>220216250Adopt the Legacy stuff with my nigga Cade. Make it edgy as fuck instead of sanitized Yidsney memberberries slop.
From what? It's still going and shows no signs of ending.
>>220219220>step out of the way and let a WOMAN handle this Luke!Nobody wants to see that shit, little guy.
>>220216250 There is nothing to save. You just need to realize Star Wars ended. Star Wars is by George Lucas. That's it.
>>220216250I would listen to George Lucas. And that's what no one did.
i dont know if you can really make it huge again. TFA had the advantage of having a 10 year gap and following up on ROTJ. But if they make something with the slightest amount of care of like Andor, people responded and they were smart to end that with season 2 so it went out on a better note than Mandalorian
>>220236235They want a female lead whether you or me want it or not. So if it's going to be a female lead, it might as well be Luke's loving wife that gave him a son and stood by his side instead of a random OC that they made into Palpatin's daughter.
>>220216250I don't think it needs saving, it's doing relatively ok, better than some franchises at least.
>>220236308That's just more pandering to the same "modern audience" that doesn't exist, and will never exist. NOBODY wants to watch girlboss slop, and the abject failure of all the girlboss trash over the past 15 years demonstrates that fact clearly.
>>220216250>How would you save Star Wars?More content produced by people like Tony Gilroy and written by people like Aaron Contreras and Chris Avellone. More people who have obvious passion for what they do, what they do being consuming classically nerdy books and stories and quality content. I don't love even like Gilroy that much but at least he doesn't have open contempt for Star Wars even though he's no fan.I would give my left arm for a story about a Jedi padawan similar to something like Earthsea but nobody in Hollywood has the sensibilities of classic scifi or fantasy writers.
>>220236509>NOBODY wants to watch girlboss slopBut they're going to make it anyway. I'd rather it have a happily married Luke that is leading the new Jedi Academy with his wife and son instead of old senile retard Luke that abandoned everyone and dies off for nothing.
>>220216250I would not. And that's what no one did.
It doesn't need to be milked for infinity time. The OT is all you need. It's timeless. It's like Mozart. People still listen to Mozart, even though he's dead.
>>220216250re-release all the movies on bluray, but without all the shitty edits just the VHS releases again but put on discstart work on Shadows of the Empire the series. Already have the game, the toys, the soundtrack, and the comic book for reference there shouldn't be much you can fuck upsince Mark Hamill is too old and is kind of important to the story just use a different actor. Literally put a wig and some contacts on somebody and put them in a black cloak. It's that easy. No one gets mad at you for using some AI Lukefrom there start adapting stories from the extended universe books and comics. The original gang of Han, Luke, Leia, and Lando are too old and the new gang Rey, Finn, Poe, are pretty much universally hatedadapting from the EU books is the way to goand bring on Drew Karpyshyn to help write some of them
>>220236523You need to appeal to the masses, not nerds.
>>220236509>RWBY failed
>>220219152You have to be quite good at acting to show actors what you want them to do.
>>220237821Star Wars has lots of universal messages. But it absolutely doesn't have nor should it have mass appeal. Something made for everyone is made for no one etc etc.
>>220238010>But it absolutely doesn't haveReality says it does.>nor should it have mass appeal.Says you. Star Wars is expensive and it needs to make a ton of money. Just because the books are strictly for geeks doesn't mean the movies are.
>>220237989that’s not how directing works at all
>>220216250just start adapting EU story arcs from games and comics with a minimal amount of changes to the source material
>>220216250>How would you save Star Wars?By retconning everything except for the original trilogy, and refusing to release another piece of media ever again.
>>220239298They want to make money, dumbass.
>>220239314unironically that would make them more money
>>220239643You're nuts if you honestly think that.
>>220237821Star Wars only did well when it appealed to nerds.
>>220239859True.
>>220239747NTA but it would be like his Legends got a boost when it was announced to be retconned. The Disney EU sales are going to be much lower than if they announced they were going to retcon it and had one last “Everything Must Go” sale. But they’d never do this
People keep throwing out all of these ideas but I think it's just not recoverable.
>>220239859star wars the original trilogy appealed to everyone, that's what originally made it so popular
>>220225430impossible
>>220239964Exactly, but the dorks here don't get that for some reason.
10x episode TV series which is primarily lots of bourgeoisie old men and aliens talking about inter-planetary diplomacy, galaxy geopolitics, trade routes, religion and war economies. Can be produced on a minimal budget, more of an atmosphere piece than anything else, borderline canon and absolute crack to existing nerds.
>>220240225>10x episode TV series which is primarily lots of bourgeoisie old men and aliens talking about inter-planetary diplomacy, galaxy geopolitics, trade routes, religion and war economies.Sounds boring and anti-Star Wars.
>>220216250>starslopGrow up.
>>220240380>filtered before casting has even begunYou wouldn't get it
Why do nerds always forget popcorn flicks make the most money? Star Wars is pulpy action adventure like Indiana Jones and Fraser's Mummy but with aliens.>>220240422Neither would the masses, which is why it'd flop. Things need to make money, my guy.
>>220240225>>220240380Isn't that just Andor?
They needed a Jedi Academy trilogy with Luke as the Dumbledore equivalent. Would have been huge with Harry Potter going dormant after the movies ended.
>>220240497it was a fun (if flawed) show
>>220232076Not a bad idea. A live action Clone Wars movie mite b cool. Would lend itself well to having a lot of great action scenes if nothing else.
ill just ask here why can ai easily generate topless pics of ray but not other ficional characters
>>220216250All women involved must be only filmed nude.
>>220216250
make nothing for a long time
You are in charge of Star Wars now. What do you do?>Sell the original trilogy in their original theatrical cuts>Include the Holiday Special as a non-canon treat. Its retarded but so is The Acolyte.>Make a Shadows of the Empire movie, to make a statement on how it feels to watch kino.>Publicly announce that the Sequel Trilogy is so awesome that it deserves to exist in its own unique space. Get rid of their episode numbers in the process.>Kill the Disney canon and restore the expanded universe. Canonize Andor and Rogue One. Let Jyn Erso to steal the Death Star plans, Kyle Katarn has a lot of better adventures. Maybe canonize the first two seasons of Mandalorian.
>>220241153Not bad but I really liked the Kyle Katarn audio dramas when I was a kid and wish they were canon
>>220216250Just keep piling on more and more slop to a story the was definitely over in 1983. Introduce a new red-lightsaber-wielding villain with 'Darth' in their name and throw in a few mandalorian bounty hunters for good measure. The more inconsequential you can make the original story the better. Don't forget to use the term 'force sensitive' a few times to really hammer home that you think the Force is no different to magic in Harry Potter or some other similarly unimaginative slop
>>220216250Do a soft reboot of the galaxy.>Empire is mostly defeated but still has control of a few systems. They're currently not powerful enough to threaten the rest of the galaxy but still powerful enough that they can't be ignored. They're still doing smaller scale invasions and are working on new weapons.>The majority of the empire soldiers left. Some deserted and went back home or elsewhere, some took the military hardware they had available and became mercenaries or pirates.>The rebels have started up The Unified Republic and wants to have all the liberated systems to join them. >Most planets/systems are doing their own thing now. They are free from the empire and while some wants to help create a new republic, many are more interested in independence, gaining more power, political and/or military, making new trade routes, etc. In many cases criminal syndicates, cults, royals, and other groups have taken advantage of the power vacuums and taken over.>Force sensitive people pop up all over the place. Some try to create a new Jedi Academy, and there's a lot of discussions about how to run that, but many are just doing their own thing. They might gather in smaller groups or travel alone. Depending on the planet they may be hunted, shunned, glorified, etc. Some eventually turn to the dark side.>The empire ran a strict no-expansion policy, wanting to keep people from leaving their influence. With them gone some people are now looking towards unexplored systems for new opportunities.There. You can now make whatever movie/show/video game/cartoon/comic/whatever you want. Want classic empire vs. rebels? That's possible. Focus on a sole jedi? Sure. Have a bunch of misfits doing trading and freelance work? Go ahead. A new looming threat that could doom everything? Why not? They need to cut their strings to the old SW, at least a little bit.
>>220216250I wouldn't. I would let it die
Just do something that is set post battle of endor but not shit like the sequels and the mandalorian. Do something about the empire remnants and warlords, Thrawn and the New Republic and New Jedi Order
Bobba Fet's Escape From the Sarlac Pit. Make it gory, 128 Hours like
>>220216250Star Wars is only the three first movies, everything after was greed, slop and ambition with no soul
I actually liked Star Wars Legacy
>>220239964>>220240162No, it was widely mocked by the mainstream. Liking Star Wars was never mainstream cool.
>>220235816Your mum was mid but I still reamed out her butthole last night.
>>220240162>>220239964Yeah but it wasn't the mainstream that went to see it dozens of times, bought merch, bought toys, bought books, bought comics, bought videogames, created cosplay organisations, organised cons etc etc.Normies see Popular Thing a couple of times, maybe buy their kid one toy, and occasionally misquote it for as long as it's part of the mainstream culture to signal that they're With It, but they're fairweather fans and as soon as it's no longer cool to care about it they're gone, and more than that, they'll join the consensus insisting what was cool is now, in fact, lame and gay and people should stop liking it. Nerds are the ones who actually keep IPs solvent. Nerds are the ones who actually drive revenue.What's genuinely baffling though is it's not actually difficult to please both audiences, they both do in fact like the same thing it's just that mainstreamers chase novelty and so will only like the same thing as any given group of nerds for a limited period of time. But that's not actually a problem because nerds are an incredibly easy lay - so long as you're not actively pissing in their face and demanding they gulp it down and say thank you, nerds can be satisfied for years on end with a few cheap-to-make tie in books, comics, and licensed games. Disney could have sustained Star Wars as a megaprofitable franchise for the rest of time by just sticking to the established formula: big movie trilogy every 10-15 years for the normies, big licensed videogames every 2-5 years for the "nerdsoomer" types, and an ongoing glut of cheap novels, comics, and tabletop games for the real hardcore autists. A good mix of cheap but breddy gud toys and merch around the film times to capture parental spending & pocket money, then lots of "prestige collectible" shite in between for the nerdsoomers. They were handed literal blueprints for a money printing machine and said>Pfff, fuck that who reads instructions, we'll just wing it
>>220243882Same. Cade being a drug addicted junkie bum who doesn't want to be a jedi is pure early 2000s edge but I don't care.
fuck mara jade, it's all about jaina solo
>>220216250Disney killed the Expanded Universe. Just bring it back. Give the power back to everyone.
>>220216250Honestly, Star Wars is dead to me.Because Disney stamped on the franchise to smithereens because they are such kikes and tried to capitalize on the politics of the time, they made me do an introspection on the franchise, and I could never see Star Wars for what it is, or go back to it ever again.Honestly, dead to me.
>>220235780Just showed that asians are retarded leftists when you take them out of their own countries
>>220240497>moggs Prequel writting completely>part of the same conitunity as Sequels, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Ahsoka, Mandalorian and Book of Booba Fat.
>>220220563Fuck off Rian. You had your chance. Nobody is giving you or your impossibly circular head any more money.
What do you guys think of this idea? Post-Endor galaxy balkanizes and turns into a Cold War between the 3 biggest factions.
>>220216250>How would you save Star Wars?Timeskip forward 50 years from the last garbage sequel story. Reference it as little as possible and lean in heavily to expanded universe stories.My take would be to have Rey running a new Jedi Academy with baby Yoda as her assistant and a cast of new young Jedi. In the first film you kill Rey's Mary Sue ass off to establish the new villains are a threat and to definitively move past the sequel trilogy shit show. Bring in things like Dark Troopers and the Arc Hammer, maybe have the villains discover the Star Forge from KOTOR so they could rapidly make a big scary navy and droid army.
>>220249256>Hutt with legs and armorAnd I thought Disney had bad ideas.
>>220218597>shrink the stakes. We don't need to save the galaxy every movie.Ironically enough, doing that will make the setting feel huge again
>>220218731>there's a lot of overlap between Kyle and Cassian Andor.Yeah that's why people were calling him Spanish Kyle Katarn a decade ago
>>220249639Hutts with robot legs is a Disney idea
>>220249256There were already portions of the galaxy not under the control of the empire before the battle of endor. It's really the balkanization of the former old republic/galactic empire territories, which could be interesting in how other factions react to that
I'll go play through Star Wars: Empire at War and Star Wars and Star Wars: Rebellion, write a plot line for all the individual characters and the events at the locations and places they're at, document all the battles, the intrigue, the espionage, the political manoeuvring, the alliances forged and destroyed, all of it. I'll write everything down and come up with a story for ya, Mickey.
>>220216250>White main character >Female asian side character >White female love interest >Black comic relief male character "minimal screen time">Focus on the force and the war between Jedi and sith >Main theme is hope and goodness conquering evil and dark>At least one mating press sex scene>Reconning the new trilogy and bringing back Luke as the Jedi academy master rebuilding the Jedi army>Darth maul main villain>Women should be relegated to background side stories or sex objects>Rated R to show penetration In the mating press scenes
>>220250715I'm glad Diego Luna stole the Bryer on his way out. It's in good hands, and not Disney's.
>>220216250good question, maybe a full reboot with space magic super black hole or something? Who would want to buy a dead franchise,
> blockade runner> can't outrun a blockadeBravo, George Lucas...
>>220249639>>220250779I like it.
