The Future of Star Wars Films: Post TROS

"After the Sequel Trilogy" I think it will take time. Maybe in 10 or 15 years we will see what's Rey is doing (a possible Jedi Academy?).

I voted for a distant future or a distant past. Still hoping to see the RJ Trilogy (if it really happens...).

 

Although, I'm fond of the sequel trilogy, for a change of pace I would want them to tackle the High Republic era. It would be a fresh start, for me there are so many flaws in the sequel trilogy that I would want to see something different.

As you mentioned Disney's interest is to make money, so they will most likely go with the characters that they created rather than do something risky.

I haven't heard KK's comments on the sequel trilogy, so I'll be back after I hear that maybe my thoughts will change.

 

High Republic is a good way to test the waters. On one hand, it will force filmmakers to think bold without relying on the Original Trilogy. However, it is safe because of certain restrictions, namely: we know how things end up 200 years later.
It is, in my opinion, much more difficult to move the plot forwards into new territory (post Sequel Trilogy.) The ST has shown Disney is incapable (or was not prepared) for that monumental task; around every turn, Original Trilogy characters were used as a narrative crutch.

 

I’d like to see more about Rey, Ben and FINN Chewy.

 

I want to see the stories of Rey and Friends continue down the line, maybe in 10 years or so once the extreme sequel reactions die down. I wouldn’t be opposed to Ben Solo being brought back either, and I’m generally not a fan of characters returning from the dead. I hope Lucasfilm doesn’t limit themselves to trilogies going forward, or rely too heavily on OT nostalgia. Also, I hope these hypothetical movies aren’t just Episodes 10, 11 and 12. Start off a new series.

For the aesthetics alone, I wouldn’t be opposed to High Republic on the big screen either. There are so many amazing designs and costumes that I would love to see brought into mainstream Star Wars. (I’d also love to see some Lego High Republic sets!) I’m going to start diving into the HR books and comics later this year, so my appetite may grow even more.

 

My assumption is that, once the Mandoverse thing has played out and culminated in the supposed "epic crossover event" (or whatever it was called), we'll have Ahsoka & Esra (possibly time-jumping via the World-Between-Worlds [which for the record I would hate]), with Grogu, join Rey Skywalker and Jedi Student Finn on whatever the next saga is going to be. And, I'm ready to bet good credits that Thrawn is gonna be the new super villain (i.e. he survives Ahsoka & Sabine's search for Esra), and that whole shebang might even be named "The Thrawn Saga" and encompass at least another trilogy (loosely borrowing some vague beats and moments from the Zahn Trilogy).

 

If this is a trilogy, then I want Finn as the lead. He had one good arc, one controversial arc, and no arc. Let him lead and show how well John Boyega can really act.

That would be...a choice. I'm not sure I'd like that choice, because it feels like the Monkey's Paw of fan service, but I could see it happening...yeah, I don't think I'd like that...
Great call on the "epic crossover event" though. I didn't even think Lucasfilm was building up to that these days, but now that you mention it, the path is clear to see.

 

I want a movie about the founding of the Jedi and Sith and I want a movie about the dissolution of the Imperial Senate.

 

There's going to be an Episode 10. Not tomorrow, not next year but it will happen... there's too much money to be made and all surviving characters are still young, CGI or wears a furry costume.

Old enough to remember the "ts going to be 12" then it was 9 then 3 then 6 right up to the "nah its my thing" after a reporter asked GL is he'd ever pass the reigns to someone else ….been there, seen all the flip flops.

SW is a cash cow and Disney is a public company. They're not going to leave that much $$$ on the table.

After Kenobi there's also going to be an appetite for a Vader movie.

Past : Old Republic, Jedi/Sith wars
Present: Vader
Future: EP10+

 

I...don't know. Episodes 1 - 9 were all part of the Skywalker Saga, and DLF have stated unequivocally that it is at an end. So, I don't think they will do an 'episode 10', although they might continue the story of Rey, Finn and Poe. The question is; will it be on the big screen or the small? At present, DLF are enjoying a lot of success with TV series' so they may very well go for a Rey tv series, guest starring Finn and Poe. I think Ridley would be up for it, as she herself said she'd come back if the others did, I think Boyega would as well, but I'm not so sure about Isaac...he's currently playing Moon Knight.

 

I agree there will eventually be an Episode 10---but I disagree about it involving any of the ST characters.

My guess is that we'll learn that Luke had a love baby he never knew existed. This might be how the character Mara Jade is introduced into Disney canon. But I don't see this scenario playing out for a looooooooong time.

 

But they wanted rid of the Skywalkers!

 

If I was charge I’d say;

The sequel trilogy is garbage when compared to any other current and decent sci / fantasy / space film.

Instead; create!!!

They have a full universe to explore and thousands of years to traverse through, create original characters, create new politics, ideas, planets, people.

Keep on brand, make it feel similar (production, camera choices) , new characters nobody can complain about. Give directors more freedom to play with things.

Thank the Lord I’m not in charge, I’d have hate Mail 8 miles deep.

 

I think that it should take place in the near future (10 or so years) after TROS and featuring the ST cast. The ST cast are still beloved and are bankable (especially with Reylo) and there is so much more story to be mined there.

 

[OPENING CRAWL]
The following happened during ANH…

[SCENE 1: Senate]
Palpatine enters.

PALPATINE
The Senate is hereby dissolved.

(After some uneasy murmuring, senators gradually exit the Senate.)
