No matter what happens, Star Wars will live on. While Solo: A Star Wars Story may mark the low point for the Disney-owned era of the franchise (and, arguably, one of the saga’s least inspired entries), Lucasfilm is showing no signs of slowing down development on its “Star Wars stories.” Of course, news recently broke that Logan filmmaker James Mangold will write and direct the upcoming Boba Fett spinoff film, and rumors persist that fellow fan favorite Obi-Wan Kenobi is making a return, hopefully with Ewan McGregor back in the role. Naturally, with a universe as vast as the “galaxy far, far away,” the possibilities are endless. After all, everything from a Lando Calrissian prequel to a crime epic centering on Jabba the Hutt has been in the cards, but here are a few other ideas that Lucasfilm needs to consider.
6. Yoda leading a Samurai-style Jedi quest
For all its flaws, one of the best aspects of the prequel trilogy is seeing the Jedi operate as the peace-keeping force they were intended to be. This mission statement is never better captured in George Lucas’ films than by Master Yoda himself. So the idea of seeing a younger Yoda lead a team of elite Jedi on a dangerous secret mission — perhaps paying off those Seven Samurai-style rumors from a few years back — has us intrigued. Lucas always intended for the Jedi to be his space opera take on the Japanese warriors, and the concept would give the saga the space to explore a heretofore untapped time period.
