Current Events > Honestly I want an Anakin solo film

(+) Yeah! (+)

Show us what he doing between episode 2 and 3 and his time with Palpatine more.

I want to see him swing his lightsaber at sand.

Or maybe between 1 and 2 since there is a bigger time skip.

Between 2 and 3 is literally TCW

If more time needed to make a decent movie, can always retcon more in.

Hmm.

What about between 3 and 4?

Show Vader going planet to planet smashing people with force push

Anything like that is going to destroy the character more. Vader can only carry a story in a supporting role.

The entire prequel trilogy plus a tv series and tv movie are already about Anakin. What more can you possibly want?

He is the best character.

I want to see his life before episode 1

Just a whole movie of him being a slave

Digitize Jake Lloyd via CGI

I still would love to see a Vader film of him hunting down Jedi between Episode 3 and 4

I think Vader's ruthlessness during the purge is better left to the imagination. I don't think it's necessary to dedicate an entire movie to him just showing up different places and killing everybody.

I mean, watching a mandalorian bounty hunt was more unnecessary, yet we got that.

That's what his Marvel comic is about. Just set right after Episode 3 as he takes down all the surviving Jedi throughout the galaxy.

The old Dark Horse clone wars comics are pretty solid if you want more Anakin adventures (too bad TCW was allowed to wreck the Canon)

Where they good enough to adapt to film?

Hey man don't sleep on TCW or Rebels, both have their moments and are worth watching, animation art style aside.

The Clone Wars is for adults just as much as it is for kids. It's also better than most of the actual movies.

Also, Anakin is one of the show's most interesting characters. They really did him justice compared to what the prequels did.

Really the prequel trilogy should have started with the beginning of The Clone Wars instead of wasting a movie on him as a kid.

Yeah there are arc of The Clone Wars that are absolutely more mature than any of the movies. The Umbara arc is straight up space Vietnam.

But princess alamadala and jar jar

An alternate universe where Darth Vader never lost on mustafar would be dope

Such is not a possiblity. Obi-Wan always has the high ground.

He had a whole trilogy. Enough of that shit.

Who is Anakin Solo? I though Han named his kid Ben

Not really. Tbh, the concept probably works better in comic book format than movie format.

If there is an intervening movie about Vader hunting down Jedi, the movie basically has to be more about the Jedi than Vader to be a good story for film imo. But that concept is explored in comic books, the Rebels show, and apparently other stories I won't spoil here.

I do think that the PT should have started in the Clone War, and we could see Anakin at his prime fighting for "good" in the middle saga of the trilogy, but the idea has been well explored in the show now, and likely in more depth than a movie could.

Honestly I think we've seen enough EU stuff set between the PT and OT.

It's kinda weird we haven't really had a video game set during or around the sequel trilogy. The most we have is Battlefront 2 DLC.

Then again we've barely had any Star Wars games period thanks to EA.

I imagine once they solidify plans for the next few movies, we'll get more stuff in the sequel era.

Not really, seems like Disney was keeping a bit more of a tight leash on things until their trilogy was finished
Too bad they didn't leave us with much to work with

Honestly there's so much shit that needs explaining that I think there are plenty of story ideas they could run with.

The book that focuses on Leia during the rise of the First Order actually has a lot of interesting stuff in it. It's a bit of a shame it was all skipped over in The Force Awakens so they could rush into another rebellion plot.

I know there's old alternate universe comics for the OT, dunno about the PT though.

Having Luke fail as a Master and killing off his new generation of Jedi works really well for the character, but it leaves us in a bind. Essentially, the only stories left to tell will be those that don't add to the era. No new Jedi, no major war(s) -- just a New Republic who'll get blown up in TFA and a First Order gathering support in the shadows.

I'm sure they can come up with something interesting, but the new trilogy didn't set the universe up for success.
Contrast with the Clone Wars animated series being lauded by many and considered to be a great addition to the canon despite the lackluster reception of the prequel trilogy. I guess that's my biggest issue, despite liking the sequels.

I read fanfiction of this

I don't remember much of it but it was based on the noncanon ending of the Revenge of the Sith PS2 game, so after Anakin kills Palpatine

I read somewhere that when George Lucas first imagined SW Saga, he imagined a Prologue and a Clone Wars trilogy. By the time he settled on the numbers, I suppose he decided to do the Prologue and the star/end of the trilogy. The Phantom Menace makes a lot of sense at a Prologue to the whole story tbh.

You should go watch the Last Airbender live-action movie then. Takes all that kiddie crap from the cartoon and turns it into a big adult film for grownups.

For some reason one of the earliest fanfictions I remember reading was one where the Grievous killed on Utapau was a fake and the real one was hiding in the shadows very much alive. He eventually teamed up with Shaak Ti after Order 66 went down. And of course it was a romance fanfic.

Baby Yoda will be the solution.

There's around an 18 year gap where Luke is training Jedi. I think there can be some extra stories there. There's also the First Order abducting kids during that time and gradually converting Imperial loyalists in secret.

Characters like Cal from Fallen Order could have their own stories told across the entire saga.

For the most part everything set during the ST will have to be rather smaller scale compared to the prequel trilogy.

Maybe flesh out Snoke some more.
Could even retcon that behind the behind the scenes Palguies the wise is pulling strings but the emperror is unaware.
