Game of Thrones Series Creators to Write and Produce New Series of Star Wars Films

I guess Kathy doesn't know any female directors.

 

Or, maybe Disney and Hollywood at large are slightly more complex than your pessimistic and consistently downward tone allow for?

 

I'm force sensitive, confirmed . Let me explain - yesterday, exactly one hour before the announcement, I've started watching Game of Thrones from the very beginning, never did it before and then, in the middle of the second episode, Youtube notified me. Very, very exited. May the Force be with you, all of you. Always...

 

..Sean Bean always dies in a spectacular dramatic way after a while (LOTR, GOT, Bond..)..
..so what will he die from this time then ?

 

They have already brought Mother of Dragons, won`t it be too much? They have Warwick Davis and Spencer Wilding for those purposes . Just joking, no offense...

 

I believe that Obi-Wan spinoff is now very uncertain at the most.. It's a project likely to be canceled in my opinion.

However, let's try to imagine a schedule of the future movie releases:
2019 - Star Wars: Episode IX
2020 - Obi-Wan spinoff / Other single movie spinoff / Pause
2021 - 1st Rian Johnson trilogy movie
2022 - 1st D.B & David trilogy movie
2023 - 2nd Rian Johnson trilogy movie
2024 - 2nd D.B & David trilogy movie
2025 - 3rd Rian Johnson trilogy movie
2026 - 3rd D.B & David trilogy movie
2027 - Star Wars: Episode X -> this would be the perfect year for EP.X, 50 years from ANH: however without the Skywalkers (and I highly doubt that Ben Solo will have children or will be redeemed and stay with Rey, etc..) I really don't know if "Episode X" will ever be made or, if the movie is however a continuation in the future of the main saga maybe with a 40-50 years old Rey, Poe, Finn, etc..., it should be called "Episode X": I guess we'll see.....

 

Well, that's too much

 

At least we already knew that Benioff and Weiss love this scene from Star Wars, they even did it twice. Gunship dragons to the rescue:

Not to mention all the dialogue references to Star Wars in game of thrones.

 

Wow this thread is full some crazy leaps of logic and assumptions. Firstly where does it say this will be an R-rated or even adult themed trilogy?

Secondly how does adult themed equal just gratuitous nudity and violence? I feel there is some very conservative American christian values coming through here. You can have a adult movie, serious drama without nudity or violence. You can have great ones. You can also have great adult movies that do have nudity or violence. A great story is what you want and for it to show what it needs to show for that story.

I would love to see a bounty hunter film/TV series with the tone of Logan or a Band of Brothers style film/TV series about Rogue Squadron set between the original movies.

For me the only reason to not go to far down a certain genre/ratings path is canon. Since they say they are wedded to canon I don't think we can have a spaceballs style movie( even though we got a partial one with TLJ) or a /horror movie and still fit within canon.

Hopefully the mouse streaming service will let them free the reins a little on this stuff. I would prefer TV over the movies right now anyway.

 

What a time to be a Star Wars fan! I got the news yesterday but I went to sleep. Now looking forward to reading the reactions of my fellow cantinistas.

 

That`s still new for me, I'm in the middle of s01ep3 of GOT, but

Thanks for shots, just watched them - yep, seems like they are big fans of Saga too. Oh well, every self-respecting director should love this masterpiece, no doubts

+1, so exited to be a SW fan. I wonder how you guys, old fans (maybe since the beginning), feel?

 

Yeah you'll have to excuse us sometimes. These tangents are often less about details from the original post and more from members posting their thoughts on what they'd like to see or not and why.

Sharing thoughts on possible future R rated SW content is a reoccurring classic that's been a popular topic since the first stand alone film was announced.

Of course some are less enthusiastic about the idea than others...

 

Star Wars has always been family-friendly, going as far as PG-13, and, in my mind, should not have to be edited to be enjoyed by any family.

Again, as Finn_McCool said above, "You shouldn't be ashamed to bring your family to a Star Wars movie."

Unless you mean yet to be established in Star Wars, there have been many films over the years with completely unnecessary sex scenes. Matrix Reloaded, from a franchise I admire almost as much as Star Wars, has a particularly awkward extended scene with Neo and Trinity which, I think, adds nothing informationally or even emotionally to the film, as we already know by then that Neo and Trinity are very close and love each other deeply.

In the U.S., Rogue One was rated PG-13, and you know we're not talking about GOT violence but rather this, as Common Sense Media succinctly summarizes:

Game of Thrones: "Extensive male and female nudity; sex is graphically portrayed. Adultery, prostitution, consensual incest between adults, and sexual bargaining are themes."
Source: https://www.commonsensemedia.org/tv-reviews/game-of-thrones​

That's something I think Star Wars could and should go without.

The innocent kissing between Luke and Leia does not even begin to go in the direction of the Common Sense Media summary above.

Now, GOT fans and eager viewers of such content can and will choose otherwise, and, as I said before, I accept that.

My choice is my own, and I choose not to allow my Star Wars experience to enter such morally hazardous territory.

Again, I contend Star Wars never needed to go to such desperate depths to appeal to adults.

There is, for all its ostensible violence, an established and prevailing innocence and pure goodness in Star Wars that, up to now, has set it worlds apart from other franchises like GOT.

This is not a question of censorship. Censorship involves removing potentially offensive content, as you mentioned earlier in your editing of movies for other family members.

If there was no potential problem, though, no such editing would be necessary. Everyone could then sit down and watch it sans "censorship."

So many of my friends and colleagues look forward to every new Star Wars release as a family event, many of them with very young children and some with grandchildren even.

I simply wish for those people to be able to continue to go to the theater without having any of the concerns one might otherwise have with a franchise such as GOT.

George Lucas, the Maker himself, has already defined his market long ago, and more than once. E.g.:

"The movies are for children...."​

All too easy.

 

Oh damn, then I spoiled a lot for you Sorry.

I consider myself to be an old fan, meaning I had long since been a fan before the prequels and grew up with the originals. I am very excited. The only thing I worry about constantly are other fans 'ruining' the show for me with their increasing displayed negativity (a product of saturation and nostalgia). I was quite negative about the prequels when they came out but didn't feel the urge to go activist and force my opinion into other people's throats. Fans with a negative reception of a movie are more 'activist' than they were in the early 2000s.

I am also quite concerned about critics saturation, which can be detrimental. TFA and TLJ received universal critical acclaim. RO was also quite well received. We have three successes. How long can this last before the critics start complaining now that we have at least 7 movies down the pipeline (assuming a new series is at least 'more than two').

I don't know how it is with people in the States. But Marvel is continuously blasted by critics here in Europe, and increasingly so, resulting in empty cinemas even when a new marvel movie releases. There's no real reason why, other than extreme saturation. I hope the same thing won't happen with Star Wars

 

This is right.

Avoid gratuitous content, develop the strongest story possible, and all is well.

 

Full theaters every time I go to watch brand new Marvel movie, not possible to buy a ticket for Star Wars (I bought tickets two months prior to release date of TLJ, took the last three good seats, and it happened almost the same way back in years of R1 and TFA premiers), cinemas are full with teenage fans. Maybe it depends on culture, and I'm in Europe too, probably another part...

No worries, it doesn't matter unless it spoils main idea of season or episode, and I watched them just to compare, as you advised, so...

Prequels were original for me almost 20 years ago, in my opinion - every franchise continuation back in those years is meeeh, Lucas did his best, tried to innovate, to show he cares. True fans (and not only) don`t need to criticise prequels, but just to watch them as a marathon (including TCW, books and comics prior and beyond TCW series) to have better vision of idea, to be above criticism, to "have a high ground" if you wish
