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.

He didn't direct CITW.tragabigzanda wrote: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.

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.tragabigzanda wrote: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.

Re: Star Wars: Episode VIII (2017)
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.dimejinky99 wrote:Thrawn deserves a mor serious director. That said theyll never make a thrawn standalone.

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.dimejinky99 wrote:Bounty hunters might be a possible series. Doubt they'll make a movie about one or a group.

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?

Re: Star Wars: Episode VIII (2017)
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.
