1000% KOTOR, it’s got some classic Star Wars themes and storylines with the ability to learn about Revan, the ancient Jedi/Sith as well as explore completely new worlds and learn more about the Force!
Yeah, KOTOR is basically a combination of 2nd and 3rd idea in this video. Revan led a group of Jedi to defeat the Mandalorians and after that started the Jedi Civil War.
I want to see all three old republic games adapted into films, along with the mandalorian wars, it's all there and basically even storyboarded for them, all they got to do is make it. The fact that they've stayed away from it, even though those games and stories still have a huge fanbase is stupid and i'm saying that as someone who likes the new canon and films.
@Adrian I disagree only because most people love Revan from kotor 1. So just copy some story beats or homage to them while splitting kotor 1 into 3 movies. Most of the fans will be happy and thats all you can do when it comes to star wars.
@@charlestownsend9280 I think they are avoiding stuff like that until they get past the end of the Skywalker Saga. Once the stage is clear, the floodgates will open.
Darth Bane's story, Revan's story, the tale of the Hundred Year Darkness... All of these would work nicely and I'd pay to watch these STAR WARS movies in-theater.
It have been established that Carbonated people was used in the past during space travel. Death Bane appearance and Momin’s look like people from eras very different from PT and OT times.
Given that it is still enstablished that Republic in one form or another existed for thousands of generation, it is highly unlikely that it will be that drastically different from Skywalker Saga in any events. But, even for Darth Bane movies that have happened only a thousand years prior (heh), clunkier blasters, crampier spacecraft, chunkier droids, and all that are a given; for even older eras, things such as corded lightsabers and commonplace slugthrowers are a possibility. A neat but very minor detail in older eras would be lack of commonly-seen species like Wookies or Twi'leks or Rodians; if it is set during Founding of Jedi or Hundred Year Darkness or even KotOR times, lack or rarity of some of Outer Rim species would be a hint to the observable that those places haven't been explored yet (in KotOR II, it is a running gag that few people know what Hanharr, a Wookie, is and wish they are not all like him.)
Tenosit Sergeich Not exactly, Lucasfilm stated the Jedi Order have been around for thousands of Generations. They separated the Jedi and Republic history in canon. Hence why Ach-Too is the birthplace of the order since they can have experimented with different forms of the Jedi more. ST take place 8,000 years in universe after some big event in the past. So PT Republic seem to be different from the Old Republic in canon. There also different eras like the high Republic that was mention in Dooku audio drama. So we probably won’t see the Jedi being the Republic dogs in the past like legends most of the time.
@@elijahwatson3474 Yeah, that is true. Still, does not change much about technology, and Jedi were probably either already serving the Republic during Hundred Year Darkness, or became so before the Sith. And if they were not serving before the formation of Galactic Republic, they still were probably closely affiliated, given that in wars with Sith, Zygerria and Mandalorians they acted together. Thanks regardless for your opinion, it was quite interesting.
Tenosit Sergeich Actually canon stories about the past have shown that technology have changed overtime. There are improvements so the old Republic will (thankfully) feel different when it comes to tech. We do not know when the Sith was made, I prefer if the Jedi Order didn’t serve Republic. It stated that Jedi temple in PT was made after the Sith was supposedly extinct.
I can picture a Darth Bane movie opening with a series of nighttime establishing shots, as his conversation with Yoda is played on the background, ending at _“You must kill me to gain my place...”_
I think we should have a trilogy based on the Jedi vs Sith War similar to how The Clone War was told in the prequels, then have a series which branches off and gives a lot more depth with some new characters that can play off those established in the film trilogy
I'd be interested in something framing the Birth of the Republic. How do you forge a unified body from so many worlds, species, and mindsets? Why did it happen (in the new canon)? Who were the driving forces behind it, what forces were against it? They could tell a variant of the Legends material, showing how the threat of the Rakatan Infinite Empire caused all their former subject worlds to band together to prevent such conquest from ever happening again. Or some up with something else that fits. But make it very prominent how and why the failed to ban slavery across the galaxy or at least didn't aggressively campaign against it. This would be an interesting angle if they do bring back the Infinite Empire, as basically all the species that comprise the Republic were once enslaved by the Rakata. Maybe show the first cooperation between the Jedi and the Republic - something out of necessity rather than outright trust. Perhaps dealing with the Dark Side nexus under what would become the Jedi temple? We could see a "young" Coruscant where some of the surface was still visible.
Would be cool to see the KOTOR stories and lore explored in a movie, Darth Revan, Malak, Traya, Sion, Nihilus, at least one movie about either Revan and Malak, or the triumvate of the other 3, it woudl be cool, I mean of course I don't expect them to keep it like in the games but at least the ideea of those characters and their story should be at least similar and it would be ok for me.
I'd rather they make a Darth Bane mini-series. Also, I think they should make him more of an anti-hero, and actually have him work with the Jedi to hunt down and destroy the Sith. I also think there should be a small group of Sith that survives and rebuilds the Order on a planet in the Unknown Regions which they call New Moraband and they hide there for a thousand years, not to resurface until after Episode IX. I would like the D&D trilogy to be Knights of the Old Republic Episode IV, V and VI. Why start in the middle? Well, I see the Mandalorian War as the Clone Wars of that era, and if they were to do it chronologically it would ruin the twist that the protagonist in the second trilogy is Darth Revan. I really like the idea of the Hundred Year Darkness as a setting. It could be another Skywalker Saga in a sense that there are multiple trilogies with decades between them. I think that the Jedi should be the bad guys in the first trilogy, and the protagonist should be a Jedi like Anakin Skywalker with his own ideas about the Force. He leaves the Jedi Order, taking a lot of Jedi with him. Eventually, his teachings are corrupted and the precursor to the Sith are born. I do also want to see the dawn of the Jedi. There was a comic series about that specific era that was discontinued because of the Disney sale. I would love for it to open up an entirely new era for us to explore. What happened before the Jedi? I want the timeline to go back tens of thousands of years. What existed before the Old Republic? Is there an Ancient Republic? A Bendu Empire? Of course, the Rakatan Empire and the Celestrials should be brought back into canon. I think a Disney+ show would be best, as it would allow them to add more lore.
An Knights of the Old Republic trilogy featuring Reven would be great. The first movie would show the events of KOTOR, a prequel as the second movie explaining Revens rise to power and his involvement in the Mandelorian War while also introducing the Exile, and then the final movie feturing KOTOR 2 with the Exiles journey to beat the Sith Triumvirate. Plenty of Plot, interesting characters and drama for the big screen with relatively short source material. (KOTOR took me 6 hours to beat)
I totally did not expect you to include an idea as awesome as the one about the Citadel, but that one has to be my favorite from this video. "The Clone Wars" outranks everything else in "Star Wars" in my book so I would be overjoyed to see the location on the big screen. More locations from the games and animated TV series need to appear in the newer movies and live-action shows.
A question I have if if Benioff-Weiss and Johnson's movies will be trilogies. I remember reading they were going to direct a "saga" of movies disconected from the Skywalker saga, but I don't remember it being a trilogy, and I kinda hoped for 4-5 movies each, specially with the themes presented on the video
What you talk about at 2:30 - *THIS* is why I've wanted an Old Republic trilogy/movie for what seems like eons. I want to see what it was like when the Jedi & the Sith were at their peak & both in great numbers. I will always contend that until Lucasfilm makes an Old Republic movie and/or trilogy, they are leaving money on the table.
My idea wouldn't exactly be an old republic film but I was thinking of a Palpatine origin film based on the Darth Plagueis novel. I was thinking it be a very dark story similar to Joker but I think it is wishful thinking on my part. Maybe it will be a tv series like The Mandalorian but again I don't think they'll do a project like that anytime soon.
One of my many Old Republic trilogy ideas that I like the most is the Origins of the First Grey Jedi which would follow a Jedi that falls to the Dark Side but realizes both sides are evil, so becomes the first grey Jedi. Mandolorians, Darth Vitiate, and more would be in there as well.
Combining the Malacore events with Darth Bane would/could make a lot of sense. If the "thought bomb" was revived it could be the event that petrified all those Sith and Jedi.
I want several things: Plagueis: A Star Wars Story, a Darth Bane comic book, and the Old Republic games available on Playstation 4 with modernized graphics (but same story).
Hope Momin or Shaa make atleast a cameo in on of the movies but I also feel he would make a really cool wildcard third party secondary antagonist that is a threat to both the main Jedi and Sith characters
Much like how there are Three Trilogies, I personally believe that each movie actually covers about as much as a Trilogy & such. Hopefully, the Rise of the Galactic Republic will show Chancellor Valorum’s ancestor talking to Space Dragons (due to one of the creators being from the “Game of Thrones” franchise).
I hope that if they eventually get around to this, the whole aesthetic is different from what we eventually got in the games. They just became rehashed OT and Prequel designs. The old Tales of the Jedi comics that preceded Knights of the Old Republic had a distinct look to it that really screamed "ancient times." Capital ships had sails on them! The Sith looked like Pharaohs! It was great!
They have nothing but time. One SAGA should start from the beginning and one should move into the future beyond the Skywalker SAGA. It baffles me that George’s template for filmmaking isn’t the norm in the industry. One person, one vision then the team to flesh out totally new stories with totally new methods (George was an innovator that surrounded himself with innovators in their respective crafts). There is a rich Galaxy to explore but I’m not sure it can be done by executive committee. I will say That Rian Johnson, this far has been the only worthy creator to push the boundaries weather we like them or not. I say that having been very UPSET by The Last Jedi. Not angry but made to raw emotion beyond bombast. Great list! Right on target...are you reading this Disney? You have managed to bottle lightning, give Pablo, Leland, Matt and the rest of story group more power!
These movies could start in different ways : 1. Where you see a person go up to a computer and turns it on & thay start Reading or watching a holographic recording of the events as they happened long ago. The camera zooms in and then we see events as they happened. 2. Same idea but a Jedi or Sith is using a holocron to read or see about the information from long ago go then the camera zooms in and we see events as they happened. (unless they go with the idea that events where not recorded so good or lost they may not do that) 3. So you could have an opening crawl that tells you what time period this is set in and then we see events as they happen long ago.
Would it be better if the first 3 and the Darth Bane canon ideas sound be a part of an anthology series? Seems that it would work as after a couple seasons, there is a jump a timeline and ties into each other despite being separate through space and time _a la_ American Horror Story, versus 4 separate works
I feel like having two movie trilogies in different parts of the distant past alternating release dates would confuse a lot of people. I think it would be better for one of them to be very distinct from the other (decades in the future? a Vong-like foe? another galaxy that still has the Force? a Harry Potter-type "kids explore the Force" thing? A low-Force scoundrels trilogy to contrast with the Force-heavy Old Republic?).
I think regardless of what they do, we need a large chunk of time with a major series of events from which to base expanded media from. So similar to the Skywalker saga how they can have stories set during the clone wars, galactic civil war, and age of resistance.
Destruction of 2nd Death Star rains fiery death upon Endor. Desperate Ewoks roam galaxy in wooden spaceships looking for a new home. Set their sights of leafy Naboo. Pitched battles with Gungans resulting in General Jar-Jar being roasted alive during victory barbeque. Everyone goes home happy.
Perhaps maybe if it’s a movie trilogy we could see the first episode going into the creation of the Jedi Order, the second being the creation of the Sith, and then the third can can be the destruction of the Sith and we can go into the Darth bane trilogy stuff from there
I don't recall any source that says wars between the Republic/Jedi and Mandalorians started 5000 years before the films. There was a war between Jedi and Sith around that time, however
I.... I personally just want them to re-canonize the Great Galactic war, and what better way to have the Republic fighting the Resurgent Sith Empire, then by dedicating a trilogy to it?
Thay could do a trilogy where its 3 movies and each movie is about a different time period in Star Wars history instead of doing three movies on one time period.
@@DanBen07 that's not a cohesive trilogy then, just three individual movies. And considering what Didney's already said, it'll be a trilogy (though, as evidenced by 7 and 8, how cohesive it is will be debatable)
Agreed. Disney should re-canonize SWTOR. Why? - Better Writing - More Logic - Less Mary Sues - Better Story - No Rian Johnson - Amazing Lore - Philosophy etc, etc...
I know this list was based on things that were firmly established in the new Canon, however I feel like Lucasfilm would be remiss if they didnt attempt to adapt Kotor in some fashion if only because it's so popular and might win over some of the anti-new canon people... maybe Also note I have yet to actually play Kotor and only know alittle bit about the story (the big twist about the player character, HK-47's rad quotes, etc.) So I'm not sure how much would have to change to work in canon
Seeing Bane, a sympathatic character -with markings arround the eyes - who eventually becomes evil, after seeing the new joker movie, I want a Bane movie so bad !!
Not sure if it's around in the lore at all, but do they ever explain why some Jedi/Sith are allowed two sabers opposed to one? I thought about how crystals are retrieved and it made me think, do they start off with two, or do they start with one and later journey back for another? Both?
I think it's just personal preference, though I do know that the reason that double bladed lightsabers are so rare among Jedi is because unlike the normal lightsaber, it's specifically made for combat and war. I mean, the most famous Jedi to use it are Exar Kun and Pong Krell, so...yeah.
Christopher Byrd Well like I was wondering like with how we saw the younglings get their crystals what makes them desire two. I was thinking they get it later in life but Ashoka never had one saber. She always had two.
These are good ideas, but they should not each have their own trilogies, they should all be combined so that aspects of each appear through one or both trilogies. It's interesting how Star Wars was about Luke, then became about Vader, and now the galaxy is so big that we can explore stories beyond the Skywalkers, I'm curious to see how popular they'll be. Rebels and Resistance were okay cause they had cameos, but these will be characters completely separate.
Since real world history has always been an influence on Star Wars the cast and crew should use events such as Discovering America, the American Revolution, the Texas War of Independence, founding of the Roman Republic, the pioneer days, the Old Testament, Greek mythology, etc. for starters.
6:48 I actually disagree. The films villains aren't always black and white. In fact I'd say the opposite. Vader was ultimately portrayed as sympathetic and even Dooku was as well.
They did say that the new films were going to go somewhere we have never been or seen before. I read somewhere that they may to do a star wars origin series where they show us the origins of something that we know of but have not seen in canon yet. I'm thinking if thay made 1 film from each of your ideas and then put them into a trilogy and that way you see is a series of events from different time periods instead of of a trilogy on each time period.
@@narenbaradwaj5058 Yeah Legends Comics show Jedi lightsabers started with a lightsaber connected to a battery pack you wear on a belt. Because of Disney's new canon and the way they deal with lightsaber crystals and lightsabers - people think a Disney's Star Wars set long ago would show the lightsabers be different and more mythical.
If they ever do Revan they have to keep it a secret like in the game. If they manage to recreate that plot twist it could be amazing, but I worry they would plaster him on all the marketing stuff.
I'd love to see an adaption of KOTOR, KOTOR2 and SWTOR (mainly the jedi story and the expansion but touching on the other playable characters and their stories), darth Banes story adapted from the bane trilogy (if they make a view from a dark side character, it should be a bit more grey but show him as the bad guy) and the mandalorian wars. Hundred years war and the origin of the jedi would be cool but not on my list of eras i really want to see. I'm just hoping that they won't a yoda or palpatine origin story, i just don't want to see them, i like yoda being so old and mysterious that we know nothing about him and the emporers origin works better in book form.
Star wars isn't dead the Skywalker saga is dead but this proves we still have a lot more to see from our favorite franchise as long as they don't f it up I hope to see all of these stories in live action especially Darth Bane and Revan.
I hope that someday we could get a one-off movie about Darth Nihilus’ whole life. It could be very interesting. And I think Benedict Cumberbatch would be a good casting choice.
It would be a difficult thing to do since we technically know next to nothing about his life prior to him becoming a Sith. Not to mention he ends up speaking a language very emphasis on very few people actually understand let alone speak.
The best direction to take the Star Wars franchise in is the old republic era. They could easily do six movies just to start. Something like this... STAR WARS: CRUSADERS OF THE OLD REPUBLIC - The main character would be Carth Onasi, the movie would be about him fighting in the mandalorian wars alongside Revan and his Jedi crusaders STAR WARS: LEGENDS OF THE OLD REPUBLIC - Main character would be Revan, story would be about how he leads the Jedi crusaders and defeats the mandalorians. This movie ends with Revan and Malak turning to the dark side STAR WARS: SITH OF THE OLD REPUBLIC - Main character would be Malak, this movie would be about the Jedi civil war, ending with Malak betraying Revan. STAR WARS: KNIGHTS OF THE OLD REPUBLIC - Main character is Bastila Shan, this movie would cover the original story of KOTOR STAR WARS: MASTERS OF THE OLD REPUBLIC - Main character is Canderous Ordo, this movie would be about how Revan helps Canderous become Mandalore STAR WARS: LORDS OF THE OLD REPUBLIC - Main character is Meetra Surik, this movie covers the story of KOTOR 2
As much as I like the Old Republic and want to see Revan, Momin the Mandalorian Wars, etc on the big screen. I think doing a Trilogy about the Jedi and Sith following a Saga that will likely see their end. (atleast as we know them) Would seem a bit odd. It would be kinda like if Rogue One came out directly after Episode 4.
For Old Republic content it really wouldn't make sense if the Lucasfilm story group ignores legends and rewrites star wars history. I mean SWTOR is still active. They'd risk alienating even more fans. If they're smart they'd come up with a new story set in a Legends old republic setting.. It won't affect Disney canon up until now and new audiences wouldn't be any more or less confused than they would be if everything is new.
Okay listen in Legends the Jedi came from the Je daii order some what like a grey Jedi but you know Je daii it’s different and their home plant is tython then after the 100 year darkness, they reformed to the Jedi order, the Je daii first used swords then protosabers then lightsabers it would be amazing if this was adopted into cannon and the Je daii order reformed to the Jedi order on Achto (the birth place of the Jedi in cannon) it would just be extremely weird to me if the Jedi order was from and started off with lightsabers instead of like it did in legends from Swords to protosabers to lightsabers
I disagree with you on the last one. I think they should stay true to the books if they are going to make a show about Darth Ban. I don’t think a movie adaptation would be a good idea because of how short movies can be. Shows are much more longer than movies and has more time to develop the characters.
usually yes but a trilogy could work here I think, 1st ep the fall of the Sith order 2nd Bane an his survival third film the rise of the rule of 2! :) or a few seasons on tv im not picky! :)
How about a movie centered around Darth Nylas darkness that a character could be a part of the old republic trilogy if the other public trilogy happened
I want to know more about Yoda and Yaddles race. Like if Yoda was just himself I probably wouldn't care but there is more than 1 and it annoys me to no end that Lucasfilm has never once considered a story around that time. Like they can do prequels on Anakin and ruin the mystery there but not Yoda?
I would love to see Charles Soul do a Momin comic series. And something on Snoke if he’s from that far back.
1000% KOTOR, it’s got some classic Star Wars themes and storylines with the ability to learn about Revan, the ancient Jedi/Sith as well as explore completely new worlds and learn more about the Force!
I think they should bring “Knights of the old republic” back into cannon or do something with Revan
Yeah, KOTOR is basically a combination of 2nd and 3rd idea in this video. Revan led a group of Jedi to defeat the Mandalorians and after that started the Jedi Civil War.
Well they did bring him to canon. Now time to wait.
Between shows and movies, they should just do all of them
I agree but some of this stuff id rather get in comic form too
Grillo Sama I feel like they can add so many stories around these eras and no doubt that we will get some comics telling some of these stories.
Fck it why not right 😂
The person I want to see is Darth Revan on the big screen
And Revan portrayed by Keanu Reevs would be simply amazing imo
I want to see all three old republic games adapted into films, along with the mandalorian wars, it's all there and basically even storyboarded for them, all they got to do is make it. The fact that they've stayed away from it, even though those games and stories still have a huge fanbase is stupid and i'm saying that as someone who likes the new canon and films.
@Adrian i think even if they did do revan really well people will still say that. Still want to see it though.
@Adrian I disagree only because most people love Revan from kotor 1. So just copy some story beats or homage to them while splitting kotor 1 into 3 movies. Most of the fans will be happy and thats all you can do when it comes to star wars.

Nice seeing the community finally pushing for a Old Republic trilogy, tv series or any content from that era 🙏🏼
I just hope if they do the Old Republic its actually OLD. Stuff like hyperdrives and droids in their infancy and stuff like that.
It have been established that Carbonated people was used in the past during space travel. Death Bane appearance and Momin’s look like people from eras very different from PT and OT times.

Reading the Darth Bane trilogy now. I think Hafthor Bjornsson (the mountain in GoT) would be awesome in that role
Great video and cool idea s for the old republic canon.
I think we should have a trilogy based on the Jedi vs Sith War similar to how The Clone War was told in the prequels, then have a series which branches off and gives a lot more depth with some new characters that can play off those established in the film trilogy
Joe G yesssss
I'd be interested in something framing the Birth of the Republic.
How do you forge a unified body from so many worlds, species, and mindsets?
Why did it happen (in the new canon)? Who were the driving forces behind it, what forces were against it?
They could tell a variant of the Legends material, showing how the threat of the Rakatan Infinite Empire caused all their former subject worlds to band together to prevent such conquest from ever happening again. Or some up with something else that fits. But make it very prominent how and why the failed to ban slavery across the galaxy or at least didn't aggressively campaign against it. This would be an interesting angle if they do bring back the Infinite Empire, as basically all the species that comprise the Republic were once enslaved by the Rakata.
Maybe show the first cooperation between the Jedi and the Republic - something out of necessity rather than outright trust. Perhaps dealing with the Dark Side nexus under what would become the Jedi temple?
We could see a "young" Coruscant where some of the surface was still visible.
Would be cool to see the KOTOR stories and lore explored in a movie, Darth Revan, Malak, Traya, Sion, Nihilus, at least one movie about either Revan and Malak, or the triumvate of the other 3, it woudl be cool, I mean of course I don't expect them to keep it like in the games but at least the ideea of those characters and their story should be at least similar and it would be ok for me.
I do wanna see the Old Republic scene where & when they attack the temple. I really do
I'd rather they make a Darth Bane mini-series. Also, I think they should make him more of an anti-hero, and actually have him work with the Jedi to hunt down and destroy the Sith. I also think there should be a small group of Sith that survives and rebuilds the Order on a planet in the Unknown Regions which they call New Moraband and they hide there for a thousand years, not to resurface until after Episode IX.

He leaves the Jedi Order, taking a lot of Jedi with him. Eventually, his teachings are corrupted and the precursor to the Sith are born.

I would love for it to open up an entirely new era for us to explore. What happened before the Jedi? I want the timeline to go back tens of thousands of years. What existed before the Old Republic?

Awesome video, think my top choice would be the Sith breaking off from the Jedi order
Yeah I agree. All of these sound great. But I would really love a trilogy centered around Revan.
Morning, Alex. Good ideas. I think so since you're apt to give more than one possibility.
Combining the Malacore events with Darth Bane would/could make a lot of sense. If the "thought bomb" was revived it could be the event that petrified all those Sith and Jedi.
No it was the full activation of the temple that petrified them.
What no Plagueis??? But I want to see is the non jedi stuff like wild space is that canon???
Rix Amoris wild space and the unknown regions are canon. The Thrawn books made them canon.
I want several things: Plagueis: A Star Wars Story, a Darth Bane comic book, and the Old Republic games available on Playstation 4 with modernized graphics (but same story).
Hope Momin or Shaa make atleast a cameo in on of the movies but I also feel he would make a really cool wildcard third party secondary antagonist that is a threat to both the main Jedi and Sith characters
@@aamirrazak3467 There are lots of other force using groups
@@aamirrazak3467 Canon examples would be Nightsisters, Dagoyan Order, Frangawl Cult and Chiss "Skywalkers"
@@aamirrazak3467 Yes, they are called so because they guide/navigate Chiss ships through the unknown regions with the force
A trilogy of Bane, Revan or Malgus would be the best!
I would like to see a revan trilogy or at least kotor 1 or 2
Much like how there are Three Trilogies, I personally believe that each movie actually covers about as much as a Trilogy & such.
Hopefully, the Rise of the Galactic Republic will show Chancellor Valorum’s ancestor talking to Space Dragons (due to one of the creators being from the “Game of Thrones” franchise).
Give us Eternal Emperor Valkorion, I beg you!
I hope that if they eventually get around to this, the whole aesthetic is different from what we eventually got in the games. They just became rehashed OT and Prequel designs. The old Tales of the Jedi comics that preceded Knights of the Old Republic had a distinct look to it that really screamed "ancient times." Capital ships had sails on them! The Sith looked like Pharaohs! It was great!
They have nothing but time. One SAGA should start from the beginning and one should move into the future beyond the Skywalker SAGA. It baffles me that George’s template for filmmaking isn’t the norm in the industry. One person, one vision then the team to flesh out totally new stories with totally new methods (George was an innovator that surrounded himself with innovators in their respective crafts). There is a rich Galaxy to explore but I’m not sure it can be done by executive committee. I will say That Rian Johnson, this far has been the only worthy creator to push the boundaries weather we like them or not. I say that having been very UPSET by The Last Jedi. Not angry but made to raw emotion beyond bombast. Great list! Right on target...are you reading this Disney? You have managed to bottle lightning, give Pablo, Leland, Matt and the rest of story group more power!
These movies could start in different ways :
1. Where you see a person go up to a computer and turns it on & thay start Reading or watching a holographic recording of the events as they happened long ago. The camera zooms in and then we see events as they happened.
2. Same idea but a Jedi or Sith is using a holocron to read or see about the information from long ago go then the camera zooms in and we see events as they happened.
(unless they go with the idea that events where not recorded so good or lost they may not do that)
3. So you could have an opening crawl that tells you what time period this is set in and then we see events as they happen long ago.
Would it be better if the first 3 and the Darth Bane canon ideas sound be a part of an anthology series? Seems that it would work as after a couple seasons, there is a jump a timeline and ties into each other despite being separate through space and time _a la_ American Horror Story, versus 4 separate works
You we're spot on with the origin of jedi trilogy that's apparently what the benioff and weiss trilogy was going to be before they left.
I feel like having two movie trilogies in different parts of the distant past alternating release dates would confuse a lot of people. I think it would be better for one of them to be very distinct from the other (decades in the future? a Vong-like foe? another galaxy that still has the Force? a Harry Potter-type "kids explore the Force" thing? A low-Force scoundrels trilogy to contrast with the Force-heavy Old Republic?).
Thanks, Alex! 😊
I think regardless of what they do, we need a large chunk of time with a major series of events from which to base expanded media from. So similar to the Skywalker saga how they can have stories set during the clone wars, galactic civil war, and age of resistance.
Jaraed Burgerss we already have enough media about those eras. We want new stuff about and amazing era exploring new characters and stories.
Popular idea (I think), but Revan's story with Keanu Reeves playing him
The Trilogy has to involve Emperor Vitiate as the main Antagonist. There is the foundation then you can build around that.
Destruction of 2nd Death Star rains fiery death upon Endor. Desperate Ewoks roam galaxy in wooden spaceships looking for a new home. Set their sights of leafy Naboo. Pitched battles with Gungans resulting in General Jar-Jar being roasted alive during victory barbeque. Everyone goes home happy.
I’m so flattered.
Perhaps maybe if it’s a movie trilogy we could see the first episode going into the creation of the Jedi Order, the second being the creation of the Sith, and then the third can can be the destruction of the Sith and we can go into the Darth bane trilogy stuff from there
I don't recall any source that says wars between the Republic/Jedi and Mandalorians started 5000 years before the films. There was a war between Jedi and Sith around that time, however
Nice Video :)
I.... I personally just want them to re-canonize the Great Galactic war, and what better way to have the Republic fighting the Resurgent Sith Empire, then by dedicating a trilogy to it?
Thay could do a trilogy where its 3 movies and each movie is about a different time period in Star Wars history instead of doing three movies on one time period.
@@DanBen07 yes but the movies should have a packed story like infinity war and should have 3 hrs runtime
@@DanBen07 that's not a cohesive trilogy then, just three individual movies. And considering what Didney's already said, it'll be a trilogy (though, as evidenced by 7 and 8, how cohesive it is will be debatable)
Agreed. Disney should re-canonize SWTOR. Why?
- Better Writing
- More Logic
- Less Mary Sues
- Better Story
- No Rian Johnson
- Amazing Lore
- Philosophy
etc, etc...
I know this list was based on things that were firmly established in the new Canon, however I feel like Lucasfilm would be remiss if they didnt attempt to adapt Kotor in some fashion if only because it's so popular and might win over some of the anti-new canon people... maybe
Also note I have yet to actually play Kotor and only know alittle bit about the story (the big twist about the player character, HK-47's rad quotes, etc.) So I'm not sure how much would have to change to work in canon
Personally hoping for Revan
Seeing Bane, a sympathatic character -with markings arround the eyes - who eventually becomes evil, after seeing the new joker movie, I want a Bane movie so bad !!
I would love to see an R rated *Darth Bane* trilogy
@@MysticDonBlair sounds cool but i kinda think the star wars movies should be family friendly but i think darth bane should get an r rated show.
Not sure if it's around in the lore at all, but do they ever explain why some Jedi/Sith are allowed two sabers opposed to one? I thought about how crystals are retrieved and it made me think, do they start off with two, or do they start with one and later journey back for another? Both?
I think it's just personal preference, though I do know that the reason that double bladed lightsabers are so rare among Jedi is because unlike the normal lightsaber, it's specifically made for combat and war. I mean, the most famous Jedi to use it are Exar Kun and Pong Krell, so...yeah.
Christopher Byrd Well like I was wondering like with how we saw the younglings get their crystals what makes them desire two. I was thinking they get it later in life but Ashoka never had one saber. She always had two.
These are good ideas, but they should not each have their own trilogies, they should all be combined so that aspects of each appear through one or both trilogies. It's interesting how Star Wars was about Luke, then became about Vader, and now the galaxy is so big that we can explore stories beyond the Skywalkers, I'm curious to see how popular they'll be. Rebels and Resistance were okay cause they had cameos, but these will be characters completely separate.
I would love for the Sith/Mandalorian wars to be explored in a TV show. Maybe the actual creation of the Jedi and Sith can be explored in movies.
MineWarz I feel it would be the opposite
Having played Jedi Fallen Order, I would like a triptage of movies about Order 66 survivors
Im surprised you didnt say Revan. Thats all anyone everyone seems to talk about when it comes to potential movies
Revan hasn't officially been made canon yet
@@TheScopeZGaming aah true. I forgot
@@TheScopeZGaming Jedi Crusaders have though.
Since real world history has always been an influence on Star Wars the cast and crew should use events such as Discovering America, the American Revolution, the Texas War of Independence, founding of the Roman Republic, the pioneer days, the Old Testament, Greek mythology, etc. for starters.
6:48 I actually disagree. The films villains aren't always black and white. In fact I'd say the opposite. Vader was ultimately portrayed as sympathetic and even Dooku was as well.
They did say that the new films were going to go somewhere we have never been or seen before.
I read somewhere that they may to do a star wars origin series where they show us the origins of something that we know of but have not seen in canon yet. I'm thinking if thay made 1 film from each of your ideas and then put them into a trilogy and that way you see is a series of events from different time periods instead of of a trilogy on each time period.
I think they can adapt Dawn of the Jedi comics
@@narenbaradwaj5058
Yeah Legends Comics show Jedi lightsabers started with a lightsaber connected to a battery pack you wear on a belt.
Because of Disney's new canon and the way they deal with lightsaber crystals and lightsabers - people think a Disney's Star Wars set long ago would show the lightsabers be different and more mythical.
It was only Rian Johnson that said that. Not the other trilogy.
If they ever do Revan they have to keep it a secret like in the game. If they manage to recreate that plot twist it could be amazing, but I worry they would plaster him on all the marketing stuff.
I'd love to see an adaption of KOTOR, KOTOR2 and SWTOR (mainly the jedi story and the expansion but touching on the other playable characters and their stories), darth Banes story adapted from the bane trilogy (if they make a view from a dark side character, it should be a bit more grey but show him as the bad guy) and the mandalorian wars.
Hundred years war and the origin of the jedi would be cool but not on my list of eras i really want to see. I'm just hoping that they won't a yoda or palpatine origin story, i just don't want to see them, i like yoda being so old and mysterious that we know nothing about him and the emporers origin works better in book form.
Star wars isn't dead the Skywalker saga is dead but this proves we still have a lot more to see from our favorite franchise as long as they don't f it up I hope to see all of these stories in live action especially Darth Bane and Revan.
Tarre Vizla was living shortly before prequels and had a lot of followers and enemies (before 44 BBY).
Darth Nihlus. Explore. Please. Trilogy. Talk amongst yourselves.
I hope that someday we could get a one-off movie about Darth Nihilus’ whole life. It could be very interesting. And I think Benedict Cumberbatch would be a good casting choice.
It would be a difficult thing to do since we technically know next to nothing about his life prior to him becoming a Sith. Not to mention he ends up speaking a language very emphasis on very few people actually understand let alone speak.
Brandon Travis Rodriguez yeah I know. We’ll never get one.
The best direction to take the Star Wars franchise in is the old republic era. They could easily do six movies just to start. Something like this...
STAR WARS: CRUSADERS OF THE OLD REPUBLIC - The main character would be Carth Onasi, the movie would be about him fighting in the mandalorian wars alongside Revan and his Jedi crusaders
STAR WARS: LEGENDS OF THE OLD REPUBLIC - Main character would be Revan, story would be about how he leads the Jedi crusaders and defeats the mandalorians. This movie ends with Revan and Malak turning to the dark side
STAR WARS: SITH OF THE OLD REPUBLIC - Main character would be Malak, this movie would be about the Jedi civil war, ending with Malak betraying Revan.
STAR WARS: KNIGHTS OF THE OLD REPUBLIC - Main character is Bastila Shan, this movie would cover the original story of KOTOR
STAR WARS: MASTERS OF THE OLD REPUBLIC - Main character is Canderous Ordo, this movie would be about how Revan helps Canderous become Mandalore
STAR WARS: LORDS OF THE OLD REPUBLIC - Main character is Meetra Surik, this movie covers the story of KOTOR 2
I want SWTOR and KOTOR to become Canon
Kotor was canon at one point ;-;
I would love to see the far future of Star Wars. But also the old republic and darth bane. (Also mandalorians)
What about reven
I agree with all of your ideas except the citadel one, I would rather see KOTOR than that.
What about a Revan-trilogy?
I like the voice vibrations!
These would all be great
As much as I like the Old Republic and want to see Revan, Momin the Mandalorian Wars, etc on the big screen. I think doing a Trilogy about the Jedi and Sith following a Saga that will likely see their end. (atleast as we know them) Would seem a bit odd. It would be kinda like if Rogue One came out directly after Episode 4.
Darth Malgus an the temple sacking! :)
I am stoked for revan but let’s get our bois Darth nihilus and Darth sion in there to.
For Old Republic content it really wouldn't make sense if the Lucasfilm story group ignores legends and rewrites star wars history. I mean SWTOR is still active. They'd risk alienating even more fans. If they're smart they'd come up with a new story set in a Legends old republic setting.. It won't affect Disney canon up until now and new audiences wouldn't be any more or less confused than they would be if everything is new.
more stories from the citadel would be awesome
i love prison centric stuff
Okay listen in Legends the Jedi came from the Je daii order some what like a grey Jedi but you know Je daii it’s different and their home plant is tython then after the 100 year darkness, they reformed to the Jedi order, the Je daii first used swords then protosabers then lightsabers it would be amazing if this was adopted into cannon and the Je daii order reformed to the Jedi order on Achto (the birth place of the Jedi in cannon) it would just be extremely weird to me if the Jedi order was from and started off with lightsabers instead of like it did in legends from Swords to protosabers to lightsabers
I actually wouldn’t mind seeing Star Wars move forward, into the future, immediate (after TROS) and far flung (1000s of years).
Langley M Neely nah they should first explore the past to see how everything was established.
a nOt lOnG tIME aGO in a galaxy far far away
I think that it'll be the mandalorian wars and a sith vs jedi wars ending with the beggining of the rule of two.
Tales of the Jedi- can easily broke down into 2 trilogies with the golden age of the Sith era and the Sith War era
I like this list
I disagree with you on the last one. I think they should stay true to the books if they are going to make a show about Darth Ban. I don’t think a movie adaptation would be a good idea because of how short movies can be. Shows are much more longer than movies and has more time to develop the characters.
usually yes but a trilogy could work here I think, 1st ep the fall of the Sith order 2nd Bane an his survival third film the rise of the rule of 2! :) or a few seasons on tv im not picky! :)
Would the Old Republic work in live action or would it be animated?
Omega Maximus both
How about a movie centered around Darth Nylas darkness that a character could be a part of the old republic trilogy if the other public trilogy happened
I want to know more about Yoda and Yaddles race. Like if Yoda was just himself I probably wouldn't care but there is more than 1 and it annoys me to no end that Lucasfilm has never once considered a story around that time.
Like they can do prequels on Anakin and ruin the mystery there but not Yoda?
that volume spike though xD
I'm still not sold we're getting two trilogies.
I love how our wish lists are 100% the same!
What about the history of the Hutts?
Darth Bane should be in the Old Republic trilogy
I hope Zayne Carrick Mission Vao and HK-47 becomes canon
GIVE ME REVAN!!!
