This might have me even more excited than I was for Episode VII. Of course we haven't seen The Last Jedi yet to determine how well he can do Star Wars, but overall I am really excited for truly original content that isn't tied to the Skywalker saga.

 

What era do you guys think he will set his films in? I'm sure a lot of people will say the KOTOR era, which I'd agree. Would be awesome. I'd be fine with any era though.

I would really like to see somwthing from the Imperial perspective.

 

Or

 

A rip off of Goodfellas just set in universe.

We all know it's gonna be a Jar Jar Trilogy

I'd like to see a moody side of starwars, something Blade Runner-ish. Cut down on the action a bit, and focus on world building instead. Give me a movie where the force isn't referenced at all. A movie taking place in Coruscant after order 66 would be interesting. Something that follows multiple separate characters, doing their own thing would be gravy.

I could see that being a really nice concept for a TV show. Something dark and moody like the Marvel Netflix shows. There's action but there's a ton of excellent dialogue, character building, and emotion.

 

For the trilogy, I'd rather see something completely unrelated to the films. Post-Order 66 and post-ROTJ has been their focus since the Disney takeover. I want something else. Take us to a few hundred years before TPM. Not even KOTOR, just a hundred or two years before the films.

I agree with that.
