I am working on a rewrite of the Star Wars sequels to address many shortcomings, missteps, and missed opportunities that I saw in those films. My critiques are not those of a certain subset of SW fans who believe the films were too “woke”. In fact, the things I have planned for my rewrite would probably give those guys a heart attack.
I understand that I will never be able to monetize this, otherwise the big Mouse will drop a Death Star on my head.
My intent is to start with completing a written treatment of my vision of Episode 7 and then produce that in video format using my own art assets and non-copyright music that sounds John Williams-esque. Once I get some response to that, I think then I would like to flesh out the ideas I have for Episodes 8 and 9.
I’m happy to share concepts and bounce ideas if interested! One of the main througlines of this trilogy is an armed Droid Revolution.
I love you. You have all the warm fuzzies I can send your way.
I think you can set up the chekov’s not-a-gun by showing the machine failing or almost failing. Since it’s not intended to be a weapon some old fart (Peter Cushing forgive me) telling us it can destroy planets might not suffice.
Anyway, I can’t wait to see your title crawl!
