Topic	Scarlet Re-Books the Star Wars Sequel Trilogy
scarletspeed7 05/21/20 5:37:35 PM #12:	Pacing and Release The issue with the concept of a Sequel Trilogy is that, as evidenced by the prequels, an expansion of the Star Wars concept requires more time and more space than the small amount of available allotment a trio of films allows. When youre starting a project from scratch, you are allowed to have a certain amount of give in terms of world-building. Just the nature of introducing new settings and characters means that their very existence is a major step forward. Once youve established rules in a property, going deeper generally requires more nuance. And worse than that, a successful property also is easily hoisted on its own petard by the more ravenous fans it develops; there is a level of expectation that is built on an oxymoronic premise - more films in a series must be both the same and different, and the amount of each of those qualities is different from moviegoer to moviegoer. My idea, as I break down the process of rebuilding the Sequel Trilogy from the ground up, is going to be a fairly radical departure from what Star Wars has always been. From the outset I am dispatching the notion that the series needs to be told in three-film chapters. As evidenced by the prequels, the places where nuance and time was needed had to be given short shrift in order to shoehorn in a complete story into three films. In an era of streaming seasons and longer-running film series, my radical departure will be, quite simply, to break that system down completely. My second guarantee? Were not jumping ahead thirty-odd years. Were giving the stars of Return of the Jedi a five year break. So if you dont like the idea of recasting, you will hate this concept completely. When Star Wars: Episode VII rolls out in 2015, dont expect any original cast members. Still here? Cool. Im going to respect that Disney purchased Star Wars with the intent to release Star Wars films every year. Dont plan on me relying on the same presentation going forward, however. The best way to drive the momentum of the sequel films is to off-shoot plotlines that connect back to the mainline episodes. My plan for release will go like this: Episode VII Bounty Hunter Film Episode VIII Side Character Focus Film Side Character Focus Film Episode IX Dogfighting Ships Film Episode X --- "It is too easy being monsters.
