Qui-Gon Jinn is a beloved Star Wars character. If you remember in Ep. II, Count Dooku revealed to us he was Qui-Gon's master. I would love to see their relationship and Qui-Gon's training. We could see hints of Dooku's fall to the dark side. Obviously, two new actors would have to play them (RIP Christopher Lee). My ideas are Colin Farrell for Dooku and Tom Holland for Qui-Gon. Would Star Wars fans still go for this? Meh, but I know I would. Also, the title is a joke (mostly), but I just could not resist.
I could see a film set between Ep. III and IV revolving around the formation of the Rebel Alliance. I mean, technically we saw the very beginnings of it in the Episode III deleted scene, but this could greatly expand upon that. It would have another chance to feature Darth Vader (who wouldn't want that?). And it could show the very first conflicts between the Alliance and the Empire. One reason I want this to happen (and soon) is I think Millie Bobby Brown would make a really great young Princess Leia. But they would have to make the movie soon before she gets too old. Otherwise they'd have to have a casting call and audition hundreds of young actresses. Also, if they could make this soon they could recast Jimmy Smits in the role of Senator Bail Organa.
8. Star Wars: The Rise and Fall of the New OrderNow I know I've heard after Episode IX, Star Wars will forever be done with the Skywalker saga. I don't think that's entirely true. I mean, they'll be done with the story of the Skywalkers after IX, with Luke dead and Kylo Ren either dead or redeemed (probably). However, I think they still could make a film between Episodes VI and VII about Luke starting the New Jedi Order and how it fell after he lost his nephew, Ben Solo. The reason I think this COULD be possible is because there is a decent and well-known actor named Sebastian Stan (Bucky Barnes in the MCU) who looks SO much like Mark Hamill. It's crazy. Hamill and Stan are even aware of it. And I'm pretty darn sure Mark Hamill would be happy with Stan playing Luke. The problem being of course is if Stan wanted to do it and if he could pull it off.
7. Windu: A Star Wars Story
In order to have a film centered around a certain character, that character has to be two things: One, he has to be human (Sorry Yoda, Chewbacca, and R2/Threepio), and two, he has to be good/light side. The audience has to be able to relate to the main character. So with that in mind, one of the few characters that fits this that isn't a Skywalker is Mace Windu. And Star Wars would greatly benefit from a film centered around a black character, as it could draw a lot of African-American people into the Star Wars films. It could maybe even be the "Black Panther" of Star Wars films. Also, I'd love to see Mace as a young Jedi, learning from his master, Cyslin Myr. Any tough female actress could play Cyslin, perhaps Danai Gurira. As for Mace, I'd like to see Corey Hawkins in the role (24, Straight Outta Compton, The Walking Dead).
6. Star Wars: A Jedi's Path I would love to see a Star Wars film about a new character, but with a familiar setting. This film would follow a Jedi and her path through training and fighting in the Clone Wars. And I think it should be a female Jedi because there aren't enough female heroines in Star Wars. The film would have a sad ending more than likely, as nearly all of the Jedi were wiped out in the great Jedi purge of Order 66. Maybe she could survive at the end and live as an outcast (but would obviously lose her master). But to see parts of Episodes II and III from someone else's perspective could be really cool. If this film is done soon enough, a lot of the same actors could be used in the roles they had (Samuel L. Jackson, Ian McDiarmid). Honestly, if they cast a well-known or up and coming actress and they market it well enough, this could be one of the biggest Star Wars spin-off films, perhaps the "Wonder Woman" of Star Wars spin-off films.
5. Dash Rendar: A Smuggler's Story
4. The Adventures of Poe Dameron
Poe Dameron is a fan favorite character. We know Disney will be fond of the Sequel Trilogy after "Rise of Skywalker" has been out and might want to spin off from it with one of the sequel trilogy characters. It comes down to Finn and Poe, and I pick Poe. We could hopefully see him as a teen growing up and learning how to pilot, and see him right before the events of "The Force Awakens" and see what lead to him being on Jakku and how well he knew Lor San Tekka. And we could see him after "Rise of Skywalker" and see if he has a partner and/or kids. He might be leading the Resistance at this point, but could still have some action. We'd have to have BB-8 of course. And this is the first film on here that wouldn't have to be recast as Oscar Isaac could still play the role. The only additional casting for Poe they might do is for a younger version of him. I don't see this as a huge box office hit, and may end up being a TV show instead (Poe is featured on Star Wars Resistance).
3. FETTI think a movie about Boba Fett is possible, despite what I said earlier in the Mace Windu movie about the protagonist having to be good and light-sided. Boba is a very complex character, more morally gray than anything. It could even be set after the events of Episodes IV or V (or between III and IV). And I would love them to show Fett escaping from the sarlaac pit; maybe even show him fighting it. In order to draw in fans, they'd have to cast a bigger name than Daniel Logan. The problem is that Boba is an unaltered clone of Jango Fett, meaning as an adult he would look just like Temuera Morrison. However, the writers could come up with a clever tactic as to why he doesn't look exactly like him; something like the cloning process wasn't perfect. Therefore, my choice for Boba would be Toby Sebastian (Game of Thrones). He looks the part and has a leading man kind of appearance.
2. Star Wars: The Old RepublicEver since the Knights of the Old Republic video game, I've wanted a movie set around the era of the Old Republic. Specifically, I would want it centered around Darth Revan, Bastila, and Carth. With Disney's acquisition of Star Wars that story lost it's canonization, but they could still make a film with a lot of the same elements (and could borrow some characters, too). It would be very cool to see some characters here and there from KOTOR that us players of the game could pick up on in the film. The biggest downside to this is that it would be the first film (unless one comes out before it) that isn't set anywhere close to the lives of likable characters such as Yoda, C-3PO and R2D2. It would feel a lot different and not having a single recognizable character could hurt the film at the box office by dissuading a lot of the casual fans from seeing it.
Fans have been clamoring for an Obi-Wan film for years. It would be set between episodes III and IV, and we'd see Obi-Wan on Tattooine looking after Luke. Ewan McGregor is more than ready and willing to reprise his role as Obi-Wan Kenobi. His character is beloved throughout the Star Wars fandom. One problem with this I see is writing out a plot that is worthy of a solo film but also doesn't contradict Episode IV. Remember, the Empire was still unaware of his presence in Ep. IV. So who would he fight? We know he fights and kills Maul for good thanks to Star Wars Rebels, but who else? My only thought is the criminal organization revealed in Solo called "Crimson Dawn". Could be a way to tie up Solo to this. Also, there's only so much you can do on a desert planet, he'd almost have to leave Tatooine so that the entire film is not set there. He could meet up with Yoda on Dagobah and get some advice, and we could see part of how you become a Force ghost and become one with the Force.
There is my list of the Top Ten Star Wars Movie Ideas. I'd be willing to bet money at least one of these (if not more) becomes a film some day. If indeed that does happen, I will probably come back here and add my comments to the film that actually got made. Honestly, I'd love it if ANY of these got made. It's really a shame Disney handicapped itself by declaring Expanded Universe material as non-canon, but as I said earlier, that doesn't mean those characters can not or did not exist. Also, if on the very off chance that any Disney/Lucasfilm executive happens to be reading this, please consider making the films on this list, especially the ones towards the end! Also name me lead screenwriter (lol just kidding... or am I?)
