So what is really going on here? Are they going to make individual movies of all characters, and show the backstory of every single character in the Star Wars universe?

Will their fan base really what to see such movies? How far will they go? Will they go so far as to show Uncle Owen and Aunt Veru and how they hooked up?

What’s really going on is they didn’t spend $4 billion dollars on a franchise to not make it back.

Yes they’ll make movies of ALL the popular characters. Much like they made books of ALL the popular characters. Yes the fan base wants to see these movies, SW books were the most popular media book franchise ever. It will keep going until the money dries up. And yes they might even wind up having to explain moisture farming in the Uncle Owen movie, but he’s at least 20 or 30 movies down the pipe.

Disney is a corporation milking this property for as much cash as it can squeeze from it; it’s no more complicated than that.

Sounds like the plan.

How about a movie about Chewy from his dance school days?

“Will their fan base really what to see such movies? How far will they go? Will they go so far as to show Uncle Owen and Aunt Veru and how they hooked up?”

They will keep making them as long as the fans will buy them. As the fan base shrinks due to uninteresting story lines, the quality of the next movie will suffer. Look what Disney does with Pixar movies. First one is a hit, second one goes straight to DVD.

“Uncle Owen and Aunt Veru find the force” will be a computer animated straight to DVD movie.

When Star Wars really took off in 1977, the original projection was for 9 movies to eventually be made, which I thought was ridiculous. I never imagined that this stupidity would metastasize like this.

Who knows but when I found out there was a huge following of a bounty hunter that has a bit part in the movie, I just couldn't believe it.

Cue the Jar Jar binks bio movie. A MUST SEE.

I also cant wait for the Ewok King.

The guy in the bar scene in the original Star Wars who gets his arm cut off by Obi-wan Kenobi, really needs his own movie? Why is he so hostile? Did he hate his mother? Inauiring minds need to know.

Maybe a tauntaun should have his own movie.

I am sure one of Darth Vader’s Imperial Guards in red would have had a wild life to recap.

Wow, so many movie ifeas... So little time...

They'll make it X-rated and Aunt Veru will be played by Stormy Daniels.

Starring Jane Fonda and Donald Sutherland as the older couple, sitting in the pod watching Wheel of Fortune on the videobox.
