I would love an animated What If…? like Marvel did.

Something like Infinities would be great.

It's hardly anything, but this is from a larger D23 Brazil Hulu/Disney+ 2025 preview...

TIE INTERCEPTOR!!!!!!!!!!

New report on #StarWars

• Multiple films in development that overlap characters and timelines. They could impact the others from happening

• Rey is a key character in several of them

• Some Lucasfilm directors are aware of what others are working on while others are not… pic.twitter.com/T1vquZLKf2

Here's the entire article. It's a pretty interesting read...

A STAR WARS story: Forget the Death Star, the most coveted weapon in the franchise's arsenal is the character of Rey Skywalker. What the Simon Kinberg hiring reveals about the development process at Lucasfilm and how filmmakers are jostling for Rey. https://t.co/wXYOL0T0Kk

Daisy Ridley needs to start acting like she gives a **** about Star Wars if this is the future of the franchise.

That falls in line with this quote as well...

Quote:

Another source familiar with the process is more business-minded, noting, "Star Wars is a nostalgia-based enterprise and they are running out of ways to create nostalgia."

---

That's LITERALLY the job of these studio/filmmakers. To create NEW nostalgia for audiences a generation from now, or else we risk the well running dry. To take chances on NEW characters, NEW stories, NEW ideas, etc, even if in a familiar world/franchise. And if you're adverse to taking that risk, then get the **** out of this business. I'm so sick of modern Hollywood only wanting "sure things," which is completely antithetical to art/storytelling.

I started to type a long post about that, too. The people who watch SW for nostalgia ain't gonna be around forever. Do you just stop making SW bc they died?

star wars is the only major IP that has not rebooted.

Star Trek - check.
Harry Potter - in progress
James Bond - multiple reboots
DC overall - IP
Batman - multiple
Superman - multiple
planet of ape - check
Godzilla - check
BSG - done, another IP

I've been advocating for an eventual reboot for years. Not now, but at some point in the not-incredibly-distant future. Now *is* the perfect time, however, to potentially take a break, temporarily close up shop, etc. Then, in, say, 2030 or so, do a full-on reboot of the Skywalker Saga, across film and TV. But one that isn't beholden to the same structure as before. Same primary characters and major events, of course, but a reboot that has the freedom to chart new stories between major events that we never saw prior, or to follow new side characters who are integral to the wars, but operate in other parts of the galaxy. Also, say one movie ends with Obi-Wan's death, then take an entire follow-up movie, Top Gun style, to show Luke training with Red Squadron, culminating in their attack on the Death Star. Things like that where we can really dig in and elongate certain aspects that we brushed over prior. Either way, start with Anakin's birth and end with Luke's death, then figure out the best structure (how many movies vs how many shows) for telling the saga over that 100-year period or however long it is. And then tell that 100-year story over 10-20 years in our time.

All of this, assuming nothing new sticks, which is what I'd of course advocate for first and foremost.

There were plenty of people disappointed when Disney abandoned all the lore. Not all of it was good, but some was great. And not all of it was post-OT. Plenty from before prequels, in between PT & OT.

Sure, it's a soft reboot, but it was still a big deal to a lot of people at the time. KOTOR, Shadows of the Empire, the Zahn Trilogy were all pretty well loved by the fanbase.

insert talk to the hand emoji.

there was no reboot for the movie series. the prequels happened then the sequels.

99.9% of the planet have no clue about any of the books or comics garbage, the old legends or the current product that has quickly gone to garbage as well.

---

That is a very broad hand to call the books and comics garbage. Zahn trilogy and the Dark Empire comics kept Star Wars relevant for the bulk if the 90s and an enormous amount of content from lots of what is universally hailed as the best of the saga in the last decade comes straight from the eu

Also, a Rey movie doesn't automatically = a feminist Star Wars chick flick. Rey taking on an Obi-Wan-type mentor role, as has been reported, could totally be in a movie or trilogy or whatever that features a young male lead. In fact, at this point I would be shocked if they do yet another SW trilogy focused on a young female lead.

As I've said before, I would rather the powers-that-be tell a completely new story, a hundred years or so after the sequel trilogy, void of any characters we've seen prior. In this day and age, though, where IP and familiarity rule, that's probably not going to happen. But within that reality, with Rey in a limited-ish mentor role, I still think they can do something that's fresh and exciting that gets boys back into the franchise.

bring on the Quentin Tarantino return from retirement and Star Wars reboot of 2030!!!

Mace Windu gonna be absolute fire.

If the go the route of Rey serving as a mentor to a new Jedi, they should make it a forbidden love where she falls for her student and then leans into the gray moral area in order to save them from some peril.

Hmm, did I just reboot Anakin?
