Been awhile since I've wrote anything, but this is pretty big. MakingStarWars.net has reported sources placing the next saga in the “High Republic era. Usually very reputable, they say this sounds like it will be 400 years before the Skywalker saga. During a time of Bane's Rule of Two, & a much younger Jedi Yoda. Notice it says Saga, as reportedly this will not be a trilogy. Instead a saga of films that are interconnected via the era they’re told in. Supposedly this is what was supposed to go to Benoiff & Weiss before they moved on. Nothing really much in details other than this, & it will involve Jedi & non-Jedi. I can’t help but be a little concerned. I loved The Last Jedi, but that love wasn’t universal due mainly to its surprises, & stray from the EU. Here we’ve got what looks like the closest thing to Knights of the Old Republic we’re ever gonna get. That said we’re once again touching familiar ground that probably won’t be familiar at all if they want a good film. The masses have proved though, they want their Star Wars to be predictable, & only move in the directions they have already approved in their own heads. So, all in all I'm cautiously excited for this, as I've wanted a new cinematic spin on these times. Unlike others though, I feel like it should pull form history but not give us something we’ve already seen. Shake it up. Anyway, what’s y’all's thoughts? Do you wanna see a rehash of KOTOR, or something new with the original material just used as inspiration? Put it in the comments, like, & share.
Daisey Ridley Is Done After Episode IX, But Does It Even Matter?
Apparently Rolling Stone was all over the future of the Star Wars galaxy. They've got Rey (Daisy Ridley) on acknowledging that after Episode IX she's done. She doesn't rule out maybe coming back in 30 years or so, but for now he seems pretty set on being done. Her services may not be needed however as J.J. Abrams confirmed he sees the Skywalker saga ending after Episode IX, saying the future is "in flux". Wow. Makes sense though, on both fronts. Thirty years apart for the future has seemed to work so well so far, why not try to repeat that success? I have a feeling this Episode IX, just like Return of the Jedi, will give us a nice wrap up to sit on for awhile. Plus, people are screaming for some Old Republic stuff. Personally, I'd even take some just pre-Phantom Menace stuff as well. Mace, Jango Fett, any young "insert-Jedi-here".... Nope, give Ahsoka a movie! Anyway, see? Skywalker can easily be an every thirty year thing. That's provided we don't get a definitive end in Episode IX.. We gotta factor in the fact that the family line might just end. What do y'all think though? Put it in the comments, like, & share.
Star Wars 8 & 9 on Familiar Ground?
Wochit Entertainment is saying sources in Lucasfilm have told them that Tattoine, Mustafar, & Endor will pop up each in 1 or both of the upcoming Star Wars sequels completing this new trilogy started with "The Force Awakens". We all know how Skywalkers feel about sand, & I know y'all can't wait for another dose of cuddly warrior bears. Mustafar seems risky though knowing how much everyone just adores the prequels & everything associated with them... However, the Force is strong with the folks over at Lucasfilm right now. They pulled off "Rouge One", & most people already knew the ending going in just to deductive reasoning. Most intriguing though, is wondering what these places look like 20+ or more years later?
Star Wars Moving Away From it's Legacies
"Rogue One: A Star Wars Story" screenwriter Gary Whitter sat down with "SuperHeroHype". In this he states, "One of the things we really want to do at Lucasfilm is create a universe & not keep relying on old legacy characters." He goes on to say, "Whatever kind of Star Wars films they're making 10 or 20 years from now, I don't think they're going to be relying on the same legacy story elements as we have in the past." With at least a couple more doses of Skywalker coming, as well as a Han Solo solo film we at least don't have to worry about the near future. These words do however seem to sound like we might want to get real use to Finn, Rey, Kylo Ren for our long term Star Wars futures.
