We Got This Covered

quote:

Just as Marvel is using the upcoming Disney Plus as an opportunity to flesh out its cinematic universe even further, the Star Wars franchise is also set to bring an assortment of new stories to the small screen. As it stands, the only two to get the official go-ahead are Jon Favreau’s The Mandalorian and the currently untitled Rogue One: A Star Wars Story prequel series focusing on Cassian Andor.

In a new report from HN Entertainment, however, it’s alleged that Lucasfilm is currently considering a few further spinoffs focusing on various other characters from franchise lore. One project, for instance, is said to cover the younger days of Leia Organa, but when it comes to relative newcomers of the series, two names singled out as potential stars of their own vehicles are Captain Phasma and Rose Tico.


Real fricking genius Kathleen Kennedy. New stories?! Maybe the Mandalorian (unless that’s focused on Boba Fett), but a Casian backstory? A Leia backstory? What the frick is this shite? Just get it over with and do the Dexter Jettster spin-off, you fricking hack.

And now onto the other two:

quote:

All the same, Phasma and Rose seem like an interesting pair to base entire shows around.


Yes Disney, I will accept your thousand dollar bribe to say this, and for two thousand I will do it without laughing.



quote:

In the case of Phasma, it was a common complaint towards The Last Jedi that the First Order Captain was killed off a little prematurely, and a solo series could serve as an ideal opportunity to give the villain a more developed arc.


So let’s make a tv show about a character that everyone complained about. Ratings killer! Genius.

quote:

As for Rose, while the heroine proved to be a major character in Rian Johnson’s film, you can expect much of the focus in the upcoming Star Wars: Episode IX to be on characters previously introduced in The Force Awakens such as Rey, Kylo, and Finn, meaning that the Sequel Trilogy may leave Kelly Marie Tran’s character with plenty of untapped potential.


The untapped potential of ruining even more plans through social justice and getting everyone killed. I can’t imagine how it would ever get cancelled after 3 episodes. Brilliant.

At this point, Kathleen Kennedy reminds me of when Mr Garrison was trying to get fired for being gay. I’m sure after The Last Jedi she went on a similar rant of “I shoved a gerbil up your arse and they want to give me a god damn medal!” She has to be trying to get fired and receive a golden parachute.

I understand why the film version of Phasma wouldn't garner any excitement, but her novel is a damn good story.

Rose though, I just don't get it... I don't get that at all. KK has to be the most tone-deaf person on earth if she believes this would be a good idea.

Furthermore, I don't really see the need for anything about Leia outside of the Forces of Destiny stuff they're already producing.

I have full faith in Filoni to make anything animated not terrible.

Instead of every minor character getting a spin off movie, they'll be getting be a series instead.

If they really want to make a solo story for a female character...Ahsoka Tano! There is so much potential there from when she left in Clone Wars, to resurfacing in Rebels.

I'm still holding out hope that she will appear in Episode IX, but who am I kidding

100% this. She has a novel as well, albeit one of the weaker ones as it's more directed at early teens. Her arch in Rebels was one of the high points of the show. If they were to focus on Snips, writers could focus on a post-CW or post-Rebels story arch and fans would rally around the idea. Her story has so much more potential than a fricking Rose Tico story.

I already had no intention of watching 9.

I am saying in general...I am moving on. Disney even if they fire her it will be too little too late IMO and the damage has already been done.

Star Wars Spinoff Shows For Captain Phasma


I think everybody is excited for the backstory of a character that was in a grand total of 4 scenes, with 2 of those scenes involving her being defeated in humiliating fashion without putting up much of a fight.

I want a Lor San Tekka spin-off. Because hey, he is just as interesting as the other charachters they forgot to develop, like Snoke and Phasma and Maz and Kyle Ren and whoever Benicio Del Toro played. Oh, and the chubby X-wing pilot, Snap Wexley! Can’t forget him either.

TLJ is awful. It was so bad. It went GOTs with the killing of charachters but forgot to make you care one way or the other about them. As for Episode IX, I just don’t care. I have no reason to.

Rose Tico


wait wait wait. They want to take the worst character from the worst moment of all the terrible moments of not just this shitty movie but the entire franchise and turn her into the start of a series?


Oh sweet baby Jesus this is good. This may even be better than Blackalicious Panther winning Best Picture!

God forbid we get a Darth Vader or fully realized Jedi Luke Skywalker saga. They don't have to be a trilogy, I'd take one film of Luke pulling off some Legends type Force powers. Hell, give StarWarsTheory the production budget needed to flesh out his Vader story in a mini-series like the BBC does with Sherlock.


ETA: Midget Death Squad

But how can we save what we love? Only spend money on OT/PT related material? Continue to boycott the box office? Tank ratings for these shows that may happen? Obviously fighting with these idiots verbally only makes them dig in their heels with the "misogynist living in their mother's basement" narrative.

Hmmm who can we dedicate a whole series on explaining their background that the fans would love?

How about Snoke!?!?

What? frick no. Let’s go with Captain Phasma and Rose!
