Star Wars Films We Want

Clone Wars movie

I'd love to see Trench: A Star Wars Story. That'd be epic.

Reboot/reshoot of the star wars prequals... so they aren't lame. Liberally change the gaping plot holes and idiotic dialogue. ban jar jar and mediclorians.

A movie about the New Republic, prior to Star Wars 7, where we could see elements from The Mandalorian, maybe even some Legends elements and stuff from the new movies in order to get some more structure into the Canon timeline.
Some characters like Holdo, Poe and several others could be shown or even serve as the main cast, as most of them really could need more flashed out backstories in my eyes.

I actually have a rough vision of what I would do as a director, but not sure if people are interested. I'm aware that characters from Episode 8 or the sequel trilogy in general wasn't well recieved, so my plot outline might just read itself like a bad fanfiction, where I incorporate too much Legends stuff while ignoring already established canon events. Will post it though on interest.

Sure, sounds nice.
And I don't have a link, solely a rough vision of how I would narrate things for a movie I would call "Echoes of the Empire" as a draft.


Basically it would be one or two years before Episode VII with either the Imperial Coreworlds/Centrists or something like the Corporate Sector Authority/Pentastar Allignment making moves against the New Republic. In the intro we see an Executor-class Star Destroyer flying over the orbit of a world, accompanied by other Imperial ships as an Upsilon-class shuttle flies by towards the hangar of the SSD. Inside the ship we see that Rae Sloane has entered the ship, speaking with none other than the promoted Admiral Pellaeon (in case people remember: Pellaeon got established in Rebells, but was apparently on a differnt ship than Thrawn/only heard over comm) and another imperial leader (Fel/Ardus Kaine/?), planning their attack on the outer regions to restore the Empire.
Sloane tells Pellaeon and Kaine that she was sent by the First Order's supreme leader, going by the codename Snoke in order to help Kaine organize the war campaign. The Grand Moff is at first dismissive of the offered help, given that the days of Palpatine are over and he sees himself in charge, if this supposed First Order can't provide help yet, however he is willing to see Sloane's Resurgent in action, tasking at the same time Pellaeon to command the Bellator dreadnaught. Kaine will command the Eclipse, Palpatine's former Executor SSD from Canon sources.

At the same time the Neimoidian chancellor of the New Republic (an albino) would discuss matters with present politicians/army members regarding the Centrists' movements against prime targets of the New Republic, among them being Mon Calamari and other vital planets. Among the military forces are Viceadmiral Holdo and Commander Kor Sella alongside other characters, who serve as the main protagonists of the movie, trying to figure out the plans of this Imperial threat.
The movie would showcase a few battles, where Pellaeon's Bellator alongside Sloane's Resurgent and other ships would pacify various planets while in the meantime the protagonists come up with battleplans, talk about life within the New Republic etc. and so on.

<mostly filler, because I thought only of the beginning and the ending portions>

Holdo and Kor Sella would eventually end up with their ships at the Battle of Hosnian Prime, where the Centrist's main assault would finally start. Aboard the Ninka Holdo would join the battle, while Kor Sella eventually heads together with Admiral Sloane aboard a Lucrehulk-type of battleship due to informations they had found out within the middle section of the movie regarding the New Republic and the First Order - the Lucrehulk II is commanded by none other than the albino chancellor.
During the battle, the Ninka gets close towards the Eclipse, while dropping a single gravity mine near the bridge area of Kaine's flagship. Despite Pellaeon's warnings Kaine would proceed to focus fire on the New Republic's ships, taking out the last Starhawks, as just in that moment, several StarFortresses would launch from the Hyperspace jump of a nearby system straight into the gravity mine field, unloading their cargo directly onto the Eclipse. Horrified, Kaine goes down with the Super Star Destroyer, killing fellow Star Destroyers in the process. The Bellator gets hit by a debris making it seem as if the Imperials have lost.
However, the Lucrehulk II begins to suddenly decimate most of the present Starhawks while threatening both the Raddus and the Ninka to lower the shields, as the albino Chancellor reveals himself to have been an ally of Supreme Leader Snoke the entire time in order to lay the seeds for the New Republic's downfall himself. The Albino Chancellor elaborates that the First Order has promised him in exchange for removing the threat of the Imperial Centrists and the New Republic's navy for him the full might over an souvereign Neimoidian oversector. Given that the Neimoidians provided new droid types for the New Republic and the Centrists, the Lucrehulk II controlls now all AI forces aboard the representative ships, New Republic Droids and the droid TIEs of the Centrists, thus threatening now directly the life of prominent New Republic members on Hosnian Prime like Admiral Ackbar directly.

Before Holdo can react, Sloane and Kor Sella manage to sabotage the Lucrehulk II's Bubble shield matrix, causing the super dreadnaught to become vulnerable much the the Albino chancellor's surprise. Pellaeon would see it as a chance to attack the Lucrehulk II directly, either sacrificing the ship in the process and saving his own life alongside most of the crew
or killing off just the Lucrehulk II alongside the Albino chancellor, while Sloane and Kor Sella can just escape in time.

With most of the New Republic's assets nearly gone, next chancellor Villecham would come into office and centralize the remnants of the New Republic's Navy to Hosnian Prime, abolishing the droid military. While Kor Sella would still act on General Organa's behalf to reason with the Chancellor, Holdo would decide to join up with the Resistance as the threat of the First Order can't be ignored and the New Republic just keeps showing its ineffectiveness at realizing the true threat towards the galaxy.
Sloane and Pellaeon would eventually promise to unite the Centrist Remnants under one banner in hopes to defy those, who had betrayed them for their greater scheme, as they depart from the New Republic space once a peace treaty was formed and the few ex-Imperial remnants would return towards the Core Regions.


At the end we see General Hux entering Snoke's throne room aboard the Supremacy, where the Praetorian Guards would deliver several unidentifiable corpses of former First Order Council leaders in front of the general. Snoke would then proceed at telling Hux that the time has come for their main operation to begin as they would leave the Unknown Regions. Furthermore he tells Hux that he will now serve under his new apprentice, when it comes to subdueing the New Republic with the help of Starkiller Base, leading to the reveal of the masked figure of Kylo Ren, before the movie fades into credits.



That would be my rough draft.
Full of plotholes I presume, but something how I would sorta fill some gaps between Episode VI and VII.

A phantom menance should never have happened. It serves no appreciable purpose. If a historian were to study that period of time it would be concluded that there was a trade dispute, Anakin was found, a new supreme chancellor was elected, and Anakin was to begin training. Nothing else happened in that movie. From a story point of view, with all events that could be created, it’s a dreadful story with horrible choice of objects and events.

How it should have happened:

Anakin is brought to the jedi Council. Like Anakin who has just been freed from a brutal slave captivity, the viewer is dropped into a world of political intrigue, where public appearance does not necessarily match the reality. Anakin would have a back story similar to Kyp duron: slave in a spice mine. A truly grueling life: one that would leave scars on Anakin and produce actually psychological maladjustment. Not some stupid cushy job repairing things and racing pods.
Anakin’s back story would be brutal: it produces a psychological X factor that allows his character to reasonably display remarkable tender compassion, for some, and may reasonably produce triggers that inspire unspeakable rage, righteous fury and violence at evil-doers. It provides a reason that could give Anakin a fucked up moral compass. His morality is screwed up, and we’ll see that he struggles with discerning right from wrong in some situations. His over powering emotions make the jedi with their calm, and logical approach to problems a god-send and something he embraces and immediately values greatly to begin his own personal healing and “therapy”.
How his back story is told. Often, that which is not said is more powerful that that which is said. If his back story was so brutal, and so horrific that he refused to talk about it, then the viewer would only learn bits and pieces from the rumors and comments of others. It is too horrific to attempt to depict, just as the violence of Auschwitz is still a struggle to comprehend and understand today. Hear-say also allows the rumors to be inaccurate, or hyperbolized. In order to have such a backstory, lets say that he went into slavery when 6 (so he can remember a good life before he was a slave) and he was saved when he was 12-14. You have to have lived to a certain age, I think to have a good back story. I picture his character as about 13. This can be changed to in order to write Anakin into the War sooner.

So moving on: Why do the jedi take him in? Destiny. Suppose visions, prophecy, force affinity, whatever. They all may be reasons the jedi would take him in.
Now lets discuss the political climate. The republic is old. There is corruption. There are some excesses. There has been a separatist movement that has grown out of the failures of a much older reform movement that has had some successes, but has not come close to achieving the reforms or anti-corruption program that it set out to accomplish. The separatists have grown tired of the inefficient processes, and suspect that corruption is rooted too deeply in the government. They want to separate because they have given up hope on changing the existing government, and are moving to leave the republic so they can have more control and oversight of the political going-ons. The reformists are sympathetic, but still believe change can be achieved. Then there are conservatives that range from believing in reform, and denying corruption exists, to believing that there is nothing wrong with the republic as it is. Courescant has just been rocked by a slew of jedi undercover operations that have uncovered some major corruption, and it will take time to fully analyze and process how far the corruption goes, or how pervasive it is. Initial estimates are like: 10% of the government, plus high/key office holders. Palpatine may be the Vice chancellor. Perhaps the supreme chancellor is impeached, or resigns, or however, Palpatine has just recently come to office and has started a vigorous and very public campaign against corruption and abuse of office.

Suppose the mission that saved Anakin was one of these PR opperations; jedi undercover operation to catch slavers. Suppose Anakin was a prominent slave featured in the holonet news? Suppose the media quickly focused on him, and politicians (Palpatine)focused on him and made him into a poster boy for political gain? Suppose Jedi, realizing Anakin’s force potential, in addition to the destiny/prophecy angle, also agreed to train Anakin as a public relations blitz (in addition to their roll in investigating the slavery case).
Palpatine wants Anakin for political leverage, and the Jedi cloister him to begin his training.

Anakin and palpatine:
Their relationship starts out with Palpatine, photo opps and simple plan to score popularity points. Headlines: Anakin meeting with the chancellor, Anakin asked to be youth representative of important children’s issues in the senate.
As Palpatine realizes, Anakin is a person with great potential. He makes Anakin a posterboy of his anti-corruption campaign. He comes to the jedi temple to visit, frequently enough, and usually without the media circus, which makes the assumption that he genuinely cares about Anakin’s progress and welfare. A relationship builds. Occasionally he give a contradictory point of view on an issue Anakin discussed with Obi wan. Obi wan explained that there can be many points of view and this is ok. Anakin considers Palpatine another source of wisdom, “from a different point of view”

Anakin and Obi wan: Special relationship.
Anakin was rescued by obi wan. Obi wan’s face was the first person he saw as a free boy. Obi wan protected him from the media, sensed his potential, and initially brought him to the jedi. He functioned as Anakin’s father figure. Kind understanding, wise, always there to help when Anakin would flip-out. There to give council and advice: Anakin looks up to him as an example. Obi wan is sometimes too permissive. He takes an active role in training Anakin when he is frustrated or can’t understand philosophy of the jedi, or a force technique.

Anakin’s new life: Anakin had to use and develop some of his innate force potential to survive in slavery. He was able to use some of his powers to a certain degree without any formal training. Maybe the jedi saw a dark future in him(Vader) and thought that dark history could be averted if he was trained properly. In some ways, the Jedi saw Anakin as a source of potential powerful evil if he was not trained. If not accepted to the order, he might continue to develop his powers on his own and use them for evil or for his own selfish personal reasons. The jedi would be a safe place for a troubled force user to live even if it was unsuccessful at psychologically healing him, and the temple may have to be a form of house arrest for public safety reasons. (Lets think of the jedi as having special jurisdiction in criminal matters or regulation involving non-jedi force users)
So Anakin’s life in the jedi temple. Because of his force potential, he would be in some remedial classes for some basic force control skills, personal meditation tutoring (also serving as therapy sessons with obiwan or yoda). He would also be in some advanced classes with older padawans, who might jest at him, or make him feel uncomfortable because of his age. He would however excel, or be above average in those classes.
Because of Anakin’s period in slavery, he has a psychology that needs to be repaired. He may have refused brain surgery to forget his slavery, because it would also wipe his mind of his precious early years before slavery. He holds to those memories and refuses certain treatments that could make him psychologically “whole” again.
So he ops for therapy. Here we get an intimate view in to the life and mind of a troubled child. His struggle for normalacy when his gifts and abilities are anything but normal. He is generally modest, but he can’t resist a good challenge or turn his back when taunted. He doesn’t have a good grasp of appropriate behaviors or responses. So at least one occasion of him going into a violent rage and attempting to cause serious hurt to another padawan, over something like a misunderstood phrase. It is the jedi way to teach and help, and forgive and so no one holds a grudge. Here Anakin starts developing some of his first relationships. Some relationships are real friendship, some immature, and some exist only in his head. He struggles with friendship as a risk, something that can’t be taken, something that he can’t control or manipulate. Something where you have to give to receive.
Relationships are difficult, but he manages. He has ethical discussions where he places too much emphasis on the suffering of the individual, vs the greater good. He identifies, possibly too much for the suffering of others, and so may act irrationally on their behalf. In a slaves world, right and wrong can be arbitrary, depending on who is the most powerful. Who has the badge and the whip. He struggles with some aspects of ethics.

As part of his therapy/healing he might be allowed extra freedom or special attention to expose him to new experiences. Here he picks up his love of machines, mechanics, and flying. (perhaps he had some experience with fixing machine in slavery, and perhaps he used it as a psychological escape. Perhaps he finds he can relax while repairing stuff.
Anakin Excels in physical pursuits. He is very physical, fit, athletic, and also aggressive. He is good at all fighting exercises, takes some of them too seriously, and fights like his life depended on it. Because at one time, it did.

So all of these things would happen, and montages, or however they might be depicted in a way to maintain the flow of the movie.

So the movie starts with Anakin as a slave. The Raid could be the opening action of the movie. Led by Obi wan. After the action, the politic landscape unfolds. Some Political characters, good and bad, are introduced. There is media attention. Anakin is evaluated and accepted for training. The political situation is explained with parties, motives, corruption, etc. we start to see some of the politicians as good or bad. The majority of the movie focuses on Anakin's training, and the politics and events deepening the schism between the republicans and the separatists and finally impelling the republic towards war. The final scene is like the opening shots of the war, like South Carolina firing on Ft. Sumpter.

Rogue Two: A Star Wars Story

Not actually a direct sequel to Rogue One. A spy thriller about the theft of the plans for the Second Death Star, primarily from the Bothan point of view, but at the end, we get a hint of Palpatine laughing because he wanted them to steal the plans, and the Empire preparing a trap on Endor. We'd also go inside the Death Star construction itself like never before, and actually see the engineering and assembly taking place and meet some of the people who built the second death star. Maybe with overbearing foremen, and paranoid ISB agents trying to avoid a repeat of Ersogate. Maybe the Empire's first contact situation with the Ewoks. The group of spies intentionally names themselves 'Rogue Two' as a tribute to the heroes of Rogue One. But, we'd also see Bothan politics and how the Bothans viewed the Alliance, and humans in general (maybe even with Borsk Fey'lya making an appearance). Some non-Bothans see this name as arrogant, since they have no chance at success, yet they equate themselves with a legendary group.

Smugglers. Non-Force. Running amok.

'nuff said.

Was out driving and i had an idea on this;

CorSec Blues; A weekly cop show around Corellian Security doing cop things in the SW universe. There are so many stories to be told this way. You could make it raw and real like The Wire or the Shield while still keeping the humour and not having it be in bad taste.
