The Future of Star Wars Films: Post TROS

Right now, I don't see John Boyega interested in doing another Star Wars film. But who knows what the future will bring? As for Rey, I'm just not that emotionally invested in her as a solo character. Perhaps Disney should consider doing another set of original characters.

TROS (Episode 9) was supposed to end the Skywalker saga . What would be the purpose of having another movie subtitled "Episode 10"?

 

FWIW, I've got a pretty strong suspicion the SW films we'll be getting over the next ten years won't have anything to do with the ST characters.

They'll fall into two camps: 1) Entirely different SW content; and 2) Blockbuster SW film finales to their Disney+ franchises like The Mandalorian and Ahsoka.

 

I've noticed that all of the new stuff they're bringing out is set before the ST and in some cases before the PT and OT....maybe I'm the only one who feels this way but it's weird that SW's future...appears to lie in the past.

Elsewhere on these pages John Boyega has announced he's 'done' with SW, but we've all heard that before. If he's dissatisfied with other projects or gets a nice big cash incentive, I wouldn't be surprised at all if he returns, same with Daisy Ridley but I think that it would be as a TV series, like Obi Wan, rather than a film series.

I do think they will be back in comic or book form, however. Let's face it, the OT gave birth to a whole slew of books, animated tv series, and comics which lasted years.

 

We could have parallel stories showing how the Jedi, pre Republic Galactica, were a much looser and more sensitive group than the behemoth order which fell at the time of Sidious's rise and the coup d'état in the Republic, alongside the post GCW/FO galaxy with the new Jedi negotiating that same path.

 

I have a couple thoughts on this:
First off, the STs weren't wildly embraced -- and, in fact, were divisive within the SW community. So Lucasfilm is aware fans are not pinning away for post-ST content.

But, more importantly at this point, the biggest reason I believe there will continue to be a pause in post-ST content is because of the wild success of Disney+'s SW TV shows, particularly The Mandalorian (and soon, Ahsoka.) It should be obvious to most fans at this point that Disney's "Golden Goose" when it comes to post-TROS is....(cue trumpet fanfare)....Grogu, ala "Baby Yoda." But that future movie star and his stories aren't going to hit the big screen until AFTER Jon Favreau has played out his Mandalorian story arc. Giving us stories about an 'adult' Grogu NOW would ruin all the wonderful Din and Grogu stuff we're getting.

But down the road when all is said and done with Din and Grogu, I predict that we'll get a brand-new 'golden age' of SW movies featuring The Mandalorian Jedi-Master, Grogu, and his new Jedi Council. I hope I'm still around to see them.

 

I got hate just on other fan forums, so I'm glad I'm not in charge as well!

 

I will say this:
TROS killed both my fave SW character and my love for the franchise, but as others have stated, there is plenty of love for Rey/Finn/Poe. So, putting aside my own disappointment and looking at it through neutral eyes, I think fans of the 'Trio' will at least get to see their heroes in other forms, such as books and comics, and maybe an animated series. The problem is, TROS 'Mary Sued' Rey to the extent that Poe and Finn had very little to do other than follow her around adoringly; if DLF decide to continue their story then they have to address this. Finn fans want more than seeing him running after Rey screaming her name every five minutes. Unfortunately judging from what I've seen in clips from supplementary material, they are persisting with their 'deification' of their heroine. Even some Rey fans I know don't want that.

 

Don't 'poison' it?

That seems rather harsh for a poster who's 'crime' was calling Rey a "Mary Sue," a type of fictional character who is depicted as unrealistically lacking in flaws or weaknesses. You are welcome to disagree with that characterization but the fact remains, Rey exhibited powerful Jedi traits in the STs without any training whatsoever -- something SW creator, George Lucas, is on record as saying is necessary in order to exhibit Jedi-like powers.

 

Huh? It's not "a fact" that Luke trained with Master Yoda in ESB?

If the word 'Mary Sue' triggers you, perhaps you are the one who needs to take a step back.

Seems to me that we all should be able to share and discuss our opinions without them being taken as a personal attack and responding in kind.

 

That sounds like a good plan!

 

Er...all you have to do is ignore me!!

 

I totally agree with you. I would scrap anything Sequel related and do something better.

 

I actually find that kind of sad.

 

I've suspected as much for a while now. But IMHO, this post TROS new Jedi Council which embraces attachments will be take place after Favreau's The Mandalorian story has run its course. Why? Because the Jedi leading this new Jedi Order willl be an adult Mandalorian Jedi named Grogu.
