OFFICIAL NEWS Star Wars’ Upcoming Movies Will Be Set Around The Sequel Era

Heck, I'm just curious what it will be called. Thanks to Andre 3000 I know what's cooler than cool, but I don't know what's newer than the New Republic.

In all seriousness, something akin to an Andor type of show set in the ST era would be great. Something a little more "zoomed out" on the entire galaxy. I think we need a temperature gauge on how the general population of the GFFA is feeling about current events. The trilogy has been so isolated on our heroes, we really have no clue what's happening elsewhere -- other than, everyone and their Bantha showed up in a ship on Exegol. Strong statement, but what now? Who is running the show? Most of the (old) New Republic was destroyed in TFA, Leia is gone.... Who would the Galaxy trust to lead them now?

 

....what if there's no big galactic government? Total anarchy in the GFFA. Planets had their own set of leaders and laws, and that was it. Would the galaxy survive before it ate itself?

I'm not trying to get into the weeds or too off-topic, just trying to imagine a Star Wars film like that. And heck we might be at the perfect point, post First and Final Orders and the New Republic as well, to try something totally different. It feels like recently there's been enough of the "Rebels, Empire, First Order, New Repbulic, What's the difference? it's all the same to us common folk." themes to support a severe shift in approach. But, would it be too chaotic for a galaxy as big as that. Then again on the same hand, why should a galaxy that big adhere to any one current-reigning-champion's set of rules?

 

I truly think they both need to be left in the past. Republic, Empire. No matter what you want to call it, there will still be off shoots and remnants of some past sect that just want to blow up the other one.

And if the NewNew Republic really had any stones and was serious about a true bipartisan democracy, they would invite some former FO / Imperial officers into high positions of government. Now there's some interesting potential.

Sounds like the Sokovia Accords! Jedi Civil War: Team Rey vs Team Finn

Kind of the age-old paradox. They say they are neutral, but they aren't. They have extraordinary powers that make them valuable assets in war, but they are supposed to be peaceful. Will they be relegated to just being galactic bouncers? Just break up any fights and leave the two parties to find a peaceful solution? Can my rose-colored hippie glasses get any rosier?

Woah now. I don't know if I'm ready for that.

 

Yeah, but as was mentioned before, it worked well until it didn't.

When practically the ONLY Jedi left in the galaxy decides that the Jedi must end, and he sequesters himself on a lost island because he feels they are doing more harm than good, maybe it is time to change.

Dew it!!

Teaching only the light side to force users and then wondering why some fall to the dark is like refusing to teach sex ed in schools and then wondering why kids are getting pregnant.

 

There is no marrying the light and dark because a) you can't simply erase bad people from existence - and that is what dark side basically is, people making bad decisions for selfish reasons, causing destruction and suffering b) you can't marry Josef Mengele and holocaust survivors (which Jedi basically are) and expect people to get on board.

Yeah, no. This is ridiculous. There is no bipartisan democracy with the Nazis, they have no seat at this table. Imagine the Big Three inviting Nazis to share the government after WWII, after the suffering of the millions. The audience would buy a lot of tomatoes and some poor theaters would burn.

Star Wars is about LIGHT WINNING OVER DARK because people CHOOSE better, even when it's harder. The Force is neutral, what makes it light or dark is people's choices.

Yeah, we should teach powerful wizards how to be more selfish for the sake of power. Brilliant plan. Plus, false equivalence is false, my man. Poor argument.
