Nah, i think they're complete rewrites jettisoning all EU material.

[Mephansteras]

Personally, I'm just not all that interested in the movie by the trailers. I liked TLJ, and am certainly not feeling any sort 'star wars fatigue'. I am just not convinced that this is a good movie. Nor do I really buy the actor as 'Young Han' all that much.

Maybe that's a lot of it. 'Young [character]' movies/tv series just have never interested me at all. Just something about most attempts to go 'This is totally like that same actor playing this character, we swear! ' that turns me off.

Though the guy they have playing Lando does sell it, at least in the trailers. I might have been hyped to see a 'Lando' movie, but that's hard to know for sure.

But I'm open to watching Solo if it turns out that is is good.

[Sirus]

I'd be open to a crime caper set in the SW universe. It's a big enough setting and there are enough disreputable characters in it to choose from. For some reason Solo just doesn't appeal to me.

Probably doesn't help that I've seen all of a single trailer for it. I didn't even know it had been released until this thread started going crazy.

[Reelya]

"Set in the X universe". Yeah, i'm not really convinced that it's necessary, and that's not a Star Wars specific thing. Just make a new setting for something like that, unless the story concept is something that absolutely can't be done without attaching it to the franchise. e.g. the more stuff that could be standalone that actually is standalone, the more things have to stand on their own two legs rather than be an extra "thing" you need to see just because it's attached to a specific franchise. There's too much out there already without them attaching extraneous story stuff to everything else.

My desired Star Wars film is a villain protagonist movie focused on someone discovering the Dark Side post-Empire and using it against corrupt Republic officials. Maybe the good old Sith Holocron deal.

Here's what they'll do: Episode IX will end with the baddies winning and creating the New Empire. Stay tuned for episodes X - XII to see what happens next, kids.

Have a Young Leia movie and an Obi Wan movie to tide you over. Hell, let's pick some anti-heroes and they get their own movies. The Boba Fett movie.

[Harry Baldman]

After hearing it suggested somewhere, I really want to see a Panos Cosmatos Star Wars film. Or a Ben Wheatley Star Wars film, that'd be great too. Let people dick around in the universe big-time, really flip things around. Make a Sand People-centric film where one of them finds that Sith Holocron mentioned previously and starts a glorious rebellion to overthrow the colonizers who came down from the sky. Get wild with it!

You 're wrong. They are going for some lame gray jedi and gray shit thing  in order to provide a setting for a future MMORPG

If they go for "Grey Jedi" then it's kinda obvious then that it will be Rei and Kylo then "going grey", at a guess. And if you're right about an MMO then takes the place of the strictly "movie" set of sequels I was thinking of. I guess the reason they like that is that an MMO can milk you for money constantly instead of once per year.

I actually kinda disagree. If you're making a story set in a sorta generic setting I think it's more valuable to put it in an already established setting where you can get past all the not really important explanations right away. So long as the setting works with what you want to happen at least. I don't think there's value in reinventing the basics that settings have over and over again unless you're going to put the effort in to make those basics different and interesting, which I don't think every story needs to do to be a good story. Putting your story in starwars lets you get right past all the tedious questions/answers like "oh, so they have drones and wookies and mandalorians".

I also think the end result of this type of adding of stories is eventually a richer more interesting world that's actually interesting rather then a hundred different forgettable generic settings. The lots of little interesting bits from each individual story add up to a setting with a whole that's greater then it's parts. Although I could see someone not caring about that sorta thing, if they aren't the person to be interested in settings.

No, no, the Sand People sound fine in this hypothetical film and are perfectly understandable. It's the humans in Mos Eisley or whatever who communicate in unintelligible roaring instead while putting on bewildering expressions.

That's actually way better.

Be sure to give the Sand People posh accents and perfect enunciation.
