Thursday Rant
The future of Star Wars
With rouge one out this week there will be a lot of questions going around from the last film, such as who are Rey's parents, who are Finn's parents, who are Snoke's parents, is Donald Trump actually going to be president, or is it just a hoax, all intriguing questions, that sadly won't be answered by this film (well maybe the Donald one, I don't know). So don't expect much information about episode 8 or 9 from this film. So it will lead people to say ' what is going to happen with Star Wars' in the next couple of years, people like Georrge Lucas, and of course me, which is what I will be talking about below. Bearing in mind potential spoilers for the next couple of Star Wars films, as well as The Force awakens, and I won't be looking at Rouge one, as I'll be saving that for a later date, so let's get on.
Episode VIII
The follow up to episode 7 is due to land in cinemas late next year, and, according to previous director J.J Abrams, the film will answer a lot of the questions left behind in the force awakens. The film was originally titled ' echoes of the dark side ' but was changed, most likely due to negative fan response to it, and I'm not surprised, I don't really like it, it sounds a lot like DLC for one of the star wars games. There has been a lot of speculation about what will appear in the film, but none of it has been confirmed, as if yet. There has been some photos released depicting the new look for Kylo Ren, as he needed a redesign, after he left his old helmet back in Star killer base, which blew up if you don't remember. It looks a lot more like the helmet of Darth Vader, as well as some of the original concept art from the first film, and it looks really good, almost like something from the old republic era of star wars. There was actually a script released for the film, but a lot of the concepts have been changed from it, I didn't read it, as I was looking forward to what unfolded in the final cut, and I might go back and read it after I've seen the film, but there could be spoilers for the film, so. One of the rumours released with the script was that Rey would be a reincarnation of Anakin Skywalker, and that Hayden Christiansen would reprise the role, as a ghost. I hope this isn't the case, as it takes away from the importance of her parents and Hayden Christiansen is movie killer, he cannot act, at all. The film however is supposed to take inspiration from Empire strikes back, being a lot darker than 7, and apart from backstory on Snoke, that's all we know about the film as of now.
Han Solo solo film.
The news was released a couple of months ago that there would be another stars wars spin off film, this time being a Han Solo prequel film, with Alden Ehrenreich staring as the smuggler himself. Not much has actually been said if the film at the stage, and is still in its early development. One thing that has been rumoured is that Donald Glover will be starring as Lando Calrission, which I cannot wait for, I think he is perfect for this role, and it will be good to see a bit of Lando in the films again, after his absence in Force Awakens. I am excited for this film , I haven't actually seen much if Alden's work, but he looks like he could fit the part, and is being directed by Chris Miller, the man who did the Lego movie, the 21 jump street films, and Brooklyn Nine Nine, so expect this film to feel like Guardians of the the Galaxy, with a lot of comedy spread throughout the film.
Post 2018 and rumours
Not much has been said past the Han Solo film, apart from the fact that there will be an episode 9 and another spin off film. One of the rumours going round is that it could be about the Jedi, either before or after the Clone Wars, but the idea being that Star wars was going to look at new genres and themes, so having Rouge one as the heist film, the Han Solo film as a western themed one, and then to have some sort of spiritual themed movie, so the Jedi one would fit right in. Another idea was to have a Boba Fett film, but that seems unlikely, as one has already been cancelled, and it would be hard to get off the ground.
But that's all I've got for now, so thanks for reading, hope you enjoyed it. I would also like to say that yesterday, overnight I hit my one thousandth page view, which is incredible, so I would just like to thank everyone who has shown their support and read this page. So thanks guys. Also check out The is random politics, to answer at least one of the questions I asked earlier ( probably trump).
