Rogue One hamstrung, yes... Solo, no. There are 10 years of open space between Solo and ANH. I almost wonder if Solo was the first movie released (instead of TFA) how well it would have been received and how much it would have made. TLJ really killed a lot of peoples expectations and no doubt Solo took the brunt of it.

Re: Future Star Wars projects discussion thread - news, rumors, etc.
The thing is you’re going to be telling a story with a known outcome with a prequel. There’s really not much getting around that it’s making an entertaining film that’s key. To me both the anthology films have been good so far. Solo shouldn’t have released when it did. That was its worst enemy and I can’t believe no one at Lucasfilm/Disney had the foresight to see that was going to be a problem.

Didn't both Rogue One and Solo suffer from directorial changes and reshoots?

20 years from now they be rebooting the whole thing. And mark my words "Ewan Mcgregor" will play Obi-Wan. It be like the actor that played the Emperor but you know

Re: Future Star Wars projects discussion thread - news, rumors, etc.
In 20 years, it could be entirely CGI.

Re: Future Star Wars projects discussion thread - news, rumors, etc.
I hope the McGregor Obi-Wan movie still happens at some point. That’s been talked about for quite a while as something a lot of fans want even before Disney acquired Lucasfilm. There are still a lot of good ideas that can be mined from Star Wars that involve both prequels and original ideas. Hopefully they can get things back on track soon and make some more good films.

https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/he...shoots-1100060 In June 2016, Lucasfilm hired the Oscar-nominated writer to rework Rogue One: A Star Wars Story after the studio was unsatisfied by the state of director Gareth Edwards' movie. By August, he was taking a leading role in postproduction and oversaw reshoots to fix a few issues, including the film's ending. Gilroy ultimately was paid millions for his work, and many consider him the film's ghost director... Choosing his words carefully, Gilroy signaled how much of the project was changed after he boarded. (Star Ben Mendelsohn has said "an enormously different" version of the film exists.) "I came in after the director's cut. I have a screenplay credit in the arbitration that was easily won," said Gilroy. |
Re: Future Star Wars projects discussion thread - news, rumors, etc.
Ah okay, I spaced that I guess. I don’t think the fact that there was a different director was publicized as much with Rogue One as much as the fact that there were reshoots done.
|
Re: Future Star Wars projects discussion thread - news, rumors, etc.
There was a different director doing reshoots, but it was much less public than what happened with Solo. Gareth Edwards is still the credited director on Rogue One.

Re: Future Star Wars projects discussion thread - news, rumors, etc.
Mos Eisley movie sounds interesting. I've heard good things about the Tales from Mos Eisley book. But rumor is that movie has been shelved.

Re: Future Star Wars projects discussion thread - news, rumors, etc.
I have to say after watching Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom I’m glad Trevorrow isn’t directing Episode IX. I know he didn’t direct Fallen Kingdom but he had at least a hand in writing it and it’s by far one of the worst big blockbuster films I’ve seen in quite a while. Jurassic World itself which he did direct while better than the sequel wasn’t all that great either in my opinion.

They should create a series of stories set in the Knights of the Old Republic time period.

Wonder if Whedon will get to do a SW movie.
Abrams isn't too old, he'll be 52 this week. Whedon is actually a bit older. I'm sure they'll get the Russo brothers to do a SW movie at some point. |

A Darth Revan toy was released under LF/Disney's watch, so I imagine they will get their eventually.

Rumor mill in overdrive
According to a new report, Ewan McGregor is going to reprise his role as Obi-Wan Kenobi in Star Wars 9. Last week was a big one in terms of news surrounding the Obi-Wan movie that Lucasfilm has in development. It was first announced that the studio had put all of the upcoming Star Wars anthology films aside for the time being, which included the Obi-Wan film. Rumour: Obi-Wan Kenobi Star Wars movie heading straight to Disney’s streaming service |
Re: Future Star Wars projects discussion thread - news, rumors, etc.
Like I said before I hope that’s the one movie that does move forward. Coming from someone who can’t stand the prequels Ewan McGregor as Obi-Wan is awesome and I want to see more of him in the role. Not exactly sure how you’d fit him into Episode IX though.

Re: Future Star Wars projects discussion thread - news, rumors, etc.
Unless by some stretch (and I think it’s pretty out there to believe) it’s revealed that Kylo was deceiving Rey about her parents and Obi-Wan is her father and there’s some sort of flashback. Then again there’s that unwritten Star Wars rule about not having flashbacks. I’m willing to dismiss the rumor as bs. I don’t really see another reason for that version of Obi-Wan to show up. Maybe you could age him up and try to play it off like he is old Ben for some kind of appearance but doubtful.

Re: Future Star Wars projects discussion thread - news, rumors, etc.
Unless Rey was frozen in carbonite at some point, I don't think Obi-Wan could be her father.
|
Re: Future Star Wars projects discussion thread - news, rumors, etc.
Or I meant a descendant of him not that he was her father. :lol:
