Star Wars stand-alone films confirmed

[Koray Savas 2,260]

Hopefully it'll happen with COD 5. I know Activision is steering clear of the main number line for a reboot.

Star Wars Episode VII: Call Of Duty

I want a new Williams score for every one of these movies.

[JoeinAR 1,957]

Just think of all the great lines Yoda could say

From Her get away you bitch

Back I'll be mmmmm yessss

Baby Asta la vista

Son of a bitch Smile

Mother f***er yippe ky ay

[Brónach 1,330]

Baby hasta la vista

[JoeinAR 1,957]

thanks spelling nazi.

[Brónach 1,330]

We don't really have "spelling nazis". It's a different perspective.

[BloodBoal 8,711]

Do you say ortografía franquista?

[Brónach 1,330]

[Jonesy 55]

Yes, it's the correct word.

[Red 75]

I don't think Yoda works as a standalone movie. I don't need to see his younger, more rambunctious days. He works as the wise old sage archetype.

Han Solo and Boba Fett have potential, however. Although with Solo there is the danger of going into story constructs that we already know about, which was one of the pitfalls of the prequels.

@ Red Rabbit

Dude you're avatar reminded me of when I watched part 2 of The Dark Knight Returns. Holy fucking hell, the grisly scenes are really brutal, visceral & disturbing. This animated movie is really not for the kids, nor for the faint of heart.

[Trent B 354]

At some point I plan to get the Blu-Ray saga set but as it stands I'm burned out on Star Wars. Either way having stand alone Star Wars films....bad idea.

[JoeinAR 1,957]

How about a young Leia film as she crusades against the Imperial Senate in more revealing attire than in Star Wars.

Hubba hubba hubba,

oh wait I'm gay, nevermind.

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,385]

Sometimes i wonder if you are gay....

[Jeshopk 8]

Call of Duty isn't influential on big game studios, the military spending budget is.

The Star Wars Spin-Off movies:

"Finally the public will hear my side of the story!"

[Ollie 1,375]

Lucas had planned for a young Solo to be in ROTS, on the Wookie planet with Yoda and Chewie. Given all the other ridiculous things he did I don't know why he dropped it.

[Wycket 36]

Someone probably had the balls to tell him it was a stupid idea and only more fan service that didn't add anything to the movie.

Star Wars Spinoffs Described as 'Origin Story' Films

http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=108873

[Wojo 2,458]

Great. More prequels that will only marginally tie into the almost forty year old originals. So we know the titular characters won't be able to die. Just what we wanted.

[BloodBoal 8,711]

[Jay 46,241]

Casino Sol-ale

Man of Vests

[Wojo 2,458]

Boba Fett Begins

This was taken away by the second prequel, which turned all the marvelous EU Boba Fett origin stories into mere urban legends for Star Wars denizens who didn't know the "truth."

[Jay 46,241]

I could have written a better origin story for Boba Fett than George Lucas did. Big bummer.

[Wojo 2,458]

I could have written a better DAMN NEAR ANYTHING than George Lucas did.

Fixed.

[BloodBoal 8,711]

Are the prequels considered canon? I thought there weren't...

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,385]

I could have written a better origin story for Boba Fett than George Lucas did. Big bummer.

That's my main issue with the Prequels. I'm not a writer or a director in any way, but i could have done better.

[chuck 155]

"Fantastic Siths And Where To Find Them."

[gkgyver 1,647]

Are the prequels considered canon? I thought there weren't...

Lucas went ape shit insane on them, but that doesn't mean they are not canon.

[Jay 46,241]

'Star Wars': Now the Spinoffs Will Matter (Some of Them, Anyway)

The "Star Wars" canon is going to be expanded in the future -- by allowing more than just the movies to count.

http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/star-wars-spinoffs-will-matter-668958

[BloodBoal 8,711]

So, will there be a S-Canon, then?

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,385]

Can an S-Canon shoot down an X-Wing?

[Luke Skywalker 2,383]

So it will mean they will start the EU from stratch, that is, based on the new episodes. From then on all EU will be one cohesive thing.

I dont think it means they are going to take into consideration the old EU for the new movies...

[Bilbo 4,294]

Wasn't this crap discussed in the previous thread?

The Story Group is not a new thing people!

[Code 000. Destruct. 0. 4,262]

What's Star Wars? Is it based on that ride at Disney?

[Bilbo 4,294]

Yes.

[Jill Sandwich 11,165]

This is no ride. Everyone has rides. We have made biological attractions so astounding that they will capture the imagination of the entire planet.

[Bilbo 4,294]

and we can charge what we want!

[Jay 46,241]

Supposed release dates and subjects for the spinoff films

http://www.nerdist.com/2014/05/are-these-the-subjects-for-the-star-wars-spin-off-films/

[nightscape94 968]

Personally I would stand in line for Star Wars: The Fall of Antilles

[Sir Hilary Bray 235]

Like the idea of Red Five possibly being a Rogue Squadron movie. Sort of Stackpole's X-Wing books on screen.

Obi Wan rumored to be the source of one of the spinoff films

http://www.avclub.com/article/these-are-obi-wan-kenobi-spinoff-rumors-internet-l-209248

[indy4 160]

That could be cool!

[Jill Sandwich 11,165]

Him again??

[Quintus 6,494]

Never liked Ewan as Obi. He was too wooden, but maybe a better script and direction would help him be more convincing.

[mrbellamy 8,239]

I thought he was fine in the prequels, actually quite good in Revenge of the Sith. He's a great actor, if they can get an interesting writer and director, I'd like to see him return. Nobody springs to mind that I'd rather see in the role.

[Bilbo 4,294]

He's already said he'd be up for going back so if Lucasfilm actually want to do this it could happen! I'd much rather an Obi-Wan film than a Han or Boba standalone.

There was a great book released last year called Kenobi it's set just after Obi-Wan hands Luke over to the Lars. The book is about his struggle to leave behind the life of Obi-Wan and become Ben. It was a really great story and something along those lines would make a great standalone film.

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,385]

Never liked Ewan as Obi. He was too wooden, but maybe a better script and direction would help him be more convincing.

I think so. Ewan is normally quite an animated presence on screen. I think, like so many, the blandness of the prequels just enveloped him. Even Liam Neeson struggled.

A decent script with a decent director should already yield better results.

[Jill Sandwich 11,165]

Most of the time he was talking to thin air.
