Kevin Feiges Star Wars Film Has Found Its Writer

What do you guys think of this? With this guys multiverse experience what will he bring to the StarWars Table?

 

I'll have to see both of those products before I can assess how hyped I should be, but I'm taking this as a good sign. Fiege is known for picking supremely talented people for his projects in the MCU, and I'm sure that's what he's done here. The crossover factor isn't strange (heh) either, given that the MCU is full of Star Wars fans and there's a decent amount of crossover.

Overall, this is good news in the sense that the project is clearly alive, but neutral news given that Waldron's writing credits are pretty sparse up till now. Although he was a producer on two Dan Harmon shows in Community and Rick & Morty. ...so Fiege's continual love for Community is clearly still here.

 

Rick and Morty!

I’m in!!!!

 

I’m not sure what to think of this news. My first impression is that this is not a bad idea. I’ve been saying for years Star Wars should hire more people OUTSIDE of Star Wars (think: ESB director.) But I also didn’t have Feige in mind. I personally do not care for Marvel movies, and this means story, flavor, and characters. I’m not sure how much of that is Feige or Stan Lee, but apart from the Guardians of the Galaxy movies, the first Avengers, Dr. Strange, and the 2002 Spiderman (yeah, yeah, I know it wasn’t MCU,) I’m just not that interested in Marvel.

But, with that said, I will watch it like everyone else here, and I hope I love it. I have wanted to love something for so long in Star Wars since Disney took over but have not found the one “super” thing. Rogue One and Solo were the closes things for me “loving,” and I generally liked everything else except some episodes of Rebels, Resistance, and S2E2 of Mandalorian.
I will give Feige credit if he can bring back fantasy world-building instead of similar sandy planets with flea markets. If there’s one thing I loved about Marvel is that they use CGI and are not afraid to use it to make the world look “big,” like the prequels.

 

I do wish they'd branch out a bit more. It's getting increasingly harder to do given the sheer sizes of both franchises and all these Disney + series, but every time I see someone attached to a Star Wars project who's previously worked on something related to either Star Wars or Marvel, I'm pretty meh on it even if I do like said person's previous work.

 

I feel the same way about it.

 

Congrats to him.

 

As Ghost of Obi-Wan said above, I'll watch it like everyone else here. And more generally, as I've mentioned elsewhere, I'm just happy for another Star Wars film at all, so this is certainly good news since it means the project is still coming along. Beyond that, though, I don't have any real attachment to Kevin Feige's name. Especially since he's just the producer here and not the director. At the same time, Kevin seems like a sensible enough choice given his success with the MCU, so it makes sense to have someone like him involved.

Although that said, I am much more curious about who'll end up directing the film. I sorta agree with Flyboy and MandoChip above, in that it would be more exciting if they picked someone who hasn't worked on Star Wars or Marvel before.

 

Interesting takes from all of you here.......hey.......keep your eyes on the "Star Wars Movie Draft Thread"

You want new Directors for Star Wars you say?

You will definitely see some "new blood" there. For my movie idea definitely!

 

Very well. I will head over there to give it a looksee.

 

Great, so Feige's film is just going to be him working with those he's worked with before... as I feared. Yawn. Whatever happened to bringing in new blood?
