Whedon would do a awesome Thrawn standalone. Tons of freedom to do what he wants with that character.

Joss Whedon is a fucking terrible director.

I think his visuals suck, and he gets plastic actors and usually makes them move like robots, and has a terrible sense of lighting, and the music sucks, and the effects are cheesy...But there's something campy about it all that kind of works. I loved Cabin In the Woods. Everything else has ranged from horrible (Avengers), to bad but I can still appreciate it (Buffy).
He didn't direct CITW.

He's a TV hack, not a filmmaker. But I will give him credit for Firefly and Serenity, which I think are great.

Thrawn deserves a mor serious director. That said theyll never make a thrawn standalone.

The original Buffy The Vampire Slayer film is fantastic. It hits all the right notes. Just a brilliant film that remains criminally underrated.

Depends on what happens with the character in Rebels. If he takes off in that platform the way he did in the books, then I could totally see them making a Thrawn movie at some point. At least one where he's the main, stand-alone villain.

Something with Vader in the tone of the comic series that just ended but set between 3 and 4.

Bounty hunters might be a possible series. Doubt they'll make a movie about one or a group.
Doubt they'd overplay the Vader card

You didn't ask what movies they're likely to do. You asked which ones we would want to see.

Obviously, the only ones we're going to get are the masturbatory ones we don't need. Like a Han origin trilogy, a Yoda origin, a Boba Fett...

How 'bout a Lobot movie?

The only movie(s) I want to see featuring known characters is Obi-Wan. End of list.

Every other movie I want to see should feature brand new characters in the Stars Wars universe. And I would prefer that they all take place WAY, WAY before the prequels. Unless, they want to dig through the now defunct EU or "Legends" as I believe they're called now and use some of that material. I'd be in to that.

More than anything I want to see trilogy based on The Tales of the Jedi: The Sith War comic series. Exar Kun and Ulic Qel-Droma are brilliant characters that deserve to be part of canon and the big screen experience.

Old Republic would be cool too.
