In what might be the most bombad idea of the year , a Disney administrator has give away that those Star Wars stand - alone movie that have been discussed will be prequels — specifically , origin stories , potentially focused on character like Han Solo , Yoda , orthat bozo on Cloud City with the ice ointment maker .
Here ’s the money quote from theVarietyarticle about the investor conference call held by Walt Disney Co. principal financial officerJay Rasulo :
Rasulo also noted that one “ Star Wars ” trilogy film or “ origin story film ” would also appear on the release docket each yr , starting with the seventh installing in the “ Star Wars ” saga that J.J. Abrams will direct and Disney releases in 2015 .
If I may , I ’d like to quote a spot of Patton Oswalt ’s classic , yet still disturbingly relevant bit on the original prequels : “ I DON’T GIVE A SHIT WHERE THE material I LOVE COMES FROM ! I JUST have it off THE STUFF I LOVE ! ” ( I ’ll save you the bit about ballsacks . )

Goddammit , we do n’t require to know the backstory of every single character in the original trilogy , okay ? Lucas tried that with the prequels , and it turned out the more we learned about Yoda , Anakin , Obi - Wan , the Emperor , Boba Fett , and pretty much everybody else , the lamer they bugger off . As it twist out , badass bountifulness hunting watch Boba Fett as a little kid kind of sucks . Even young Yoda did nothing but fellate the stateliness and closed book out of the character , because he looked like a unripe bouncy - ball have a lightsaber while high on PCP . I definitely do n’t need to hear about him in gamey school or whatever the inferno he did when he was young .
Sure , it ’s entirely potential that with a theatre director other than George Lucas in kick , we could get an extraction / prequel movie that in reality enhances these character , that reveals thing — well , dependable and/or interesting things — about them that makes them more compelling . But it ’s really hard , because you ’re contend against the nebulous but always phenomenal backstories we ’ve created in our heads . We had an idea of how badass Yoda could be before Attack of the Clones , but when we saw him in action , it was still a allow - down .
That ’s what most prequels are . They ’re have - downs . They ’re also bagatelle , catch persona and affair ready for the real story to be told in a motion picture that ’s already been made . Han Solo ’s escapade with Luke ? That ’s a story . How Han receive to the Mos Eisley Cantina ? That ’s a prologue , no matter how long you make it .
And frankly , I ’m not state this out of Jar Jar hate . It ’s rightful of almost all prequels — love that everything ’s hunky - rowboat at the root The Lord of the Rings robbed The Hobbit of most of its agency . for certain X - Men Origins : Wolverine did n’t do Logan any favour . And there ’s never been a horror prequel that ever made matter shuddery than the original . There ’s a difference between story and back - stories , guy , and one is boundlessly more compelling than the other .
You guys have an entire galaxy far , far off to explore . You have unnumerable planets , different eras , and and infinite amount of aliens and cultures to tell stories about . You earnestly do n’t have to keep babble out about the same six masses , all right ?
