Current Events > When will we see TV shows and/or movies set after the Star Wars ST? *spoilers*

(+) Yeah! (+)

I'm guessing they want to save it until they make a new trilogy but I think a live action series set immediately after the ST seems like a good idea?

Coruscant tries to rebuild a new Senate (again lol)
Force sensitives try to start a new Jedi Order on their own terms
Dark forces conspire
The old actors can still make their cameos lol
Loose plot threads and connections from their other stuff can continue here
Different plot threads and character arcs similar to Clone Wars

I doubt we'll see it anytime soon though. But I think some lower stakes stuff would help establish a universe to do lots of new stuff.

Too many people hate the ST.

The OT is much easier to use-- hence why the shows are all somehow related to it so far.

I'd watch a show about Lando being old.

It doesn't really need to be heavily tied to the ST. Overall the series ends on a pretty blank slate.

I honestly don't care about anything Star Wars until they make something post ST.

I don't want to see another "set between the events of Return of the Jedi and The Force Awakens" bullshit message.

Same. Get me out of this era. It's done.

Do a fake documentary/reality show about the guys who have to clean up all the Death Star bits that landed on Endor.

In all honesty, the biggest mistake Disney made was trying to do a 30-years-later sequel instead of one set 100 years in the future. If we had Rey, Finn, Rose, and Poe without the deliberate misuses of Luke and Han, Disney Star Wars would have been fine.

It wasn't an oversight that Luke and Han didn't get any scenes together. They weren't trying to bring back the old days. They were trying to usher the old guard out the door so that they could make a new generation the focus. They should have cut out the middle man and set the series so far into the future that they'd never have to account for what happened to Luke, Han, and Leia.

Honestly this cus lets face it the timing could make a lot of these things more justified.

The same could have been said about the PT (and rightfully so) around the time TCW came out, which famously took multiple seasons to finally get good (or so I'm told, have no desire to watch it myself).

This is a bunch of garbage. The PT had a strong underlining narrative that was executed pitifully. Time has only let people forgive the fact that they are bad movies because of their great world building. What it added to the franchise exceeds its faults as a whole. The ST doesn't have the positives of the PT to fall back on, and it didn't end on a well received movie like Revenge of the Sith.

Moreover, the comparison is even worse since PT related shit was extremely SUCCESSFUL around the time of the PT. We are talking everything from the EU books to games like Battlefront. Not to mention that the PT inspired the creation of KOTOR (which was released in 2003).

The ST doesn't fucking have that at all. Not close to the same.

All Star Wars properties MUST

A) take place within the same 30 year period give or take
B) take place on Tatooine
C) if B cannot happen due to story reasons find reasonable sand planet replica

I have been saying this for years, but mostly with the benefit of hindsight. Back in 2014 I was completely convinced that bringing back the OT characters for one final run and to help build up the future was the right call, and the ages of the actors aligned perfectly with a trilogy set ~30 years in the future. On top of all that I never expected Disney would pass up such a massive opportunity to put Luke, Han, and Leia on the screen while they still could and I don't think many Star Wars fans did either. It would have been a big blunder to not do so and would have enraged fans I think.

I don't think anyone could have seen the absolute burial job they all got coming.
