The World of Star Wars has recently been dramatized about the future of Star Wars movies that may not be doing anything but exist. But amid all this, a rumor of great interest is focused on the so-called plans for a spinoff film in the Mos Eisley Spaceport. It may sound stupid, but it could have been a good idea.
Let's be clear: it should never have been a movie. People were not too strong for a film about one of the most beloved characters in Star Wars so they probably would not turn on the box office for a movie about a specific subject location in the far distant galaxy, and a relatively minor such as Mos Eisley Spaceport, to that. If the film actually existed – it was only rumored, and these rumors were specifically about it not existing now anyway – it's an idea which would have been much better as a television series of anthology. We know that Lucasfilm is also working on some ideas for the Disney streaming service! But it should have been an anthology for another reason: it should have been essentially a television adaptation of the 1995 book Tales of the Mos Eisley Cantina .
Edited by Kevin J. Anderson and filled with stories of the legends of the EU as Timothy Zahn, Tom Veitch, Barbara Hambly and more, Tales and his spiritual successors ( ] Tales of Jabba's Palace and Tales of Bounty Hunters ) Were some of my favorite books Star Wars growing up as a kid. By using the framing device and familiar scenarios, the patrons of the bar In New Hope the revelers and guardians of Return of the Jedi and the bounty hunters aboard the bridge Executor in Empire Strikes Back -stories tell little stories of love, loss, comedy, despair and yes, occasionally, the Empire and courageous revolt against.
The most fascinating thing about these books was that all these stories contained "insignificant" characters, apart from support film. characters at Boba Fett or Greedo. These were characters that were on the screen for literal seconds, of which you only knew the names because they had a figurine like just about everything and everyone ] in Star Wars . But the lives they led were those of scoundrels and scammers, musicians and artists, the ordinary people of the Star Wars galaxy far removed from the exploits of Han, Luke, Leia and all the others. The consequences were small, but personal. When a story of Tales was about Rebellion or the Empire, it was by means that examined them from individual perspectives instead of the monolithic entities that they were in the movie stories that spoke about the daily life of the fighting. in a galactic civil war. Were they vital tales to the fabric of Star Wars ? No. Could some of these stories be a bit absurd? Damn, yes. But they all made the world of Star Wars feel rich and textured, like a galaxy of people and beings beyond the heroes and villains larger than life movies.
The Star Wars Cannon really, really needs it. Of course, we receive tons of stories that fill the gaps in the lives of our heroes, and the events of the movies themselves, but about the galaxy in general? Less so. The current canon of Star Wars often seems to be obsessed with contextualizing what we already knew – and what we already know about the original trilogy . Star Wars – to the point that his galaxy is also much smaller than he should be. What we receive mainly are stories about specific movie characters, all related in one way or another to the different plot points of the movies.
It's better, going back and forth-the birthday party From a certain point of view gave us a similar kind of 39; anthology, for example, but it is specifically related to the events and ephemera of A New Hope ] enjoying links with a story and characters we already know and love. Marvel's Dr. The Book of Aphra is perhaps born from his first (and remarkable) series Darth Vader but with an entirely new character and telling a history from a non-rebellious or imperial point of view. but an archaeologist gung-ho. And this is not to say that the actual content of the canon we receive is bad or anything – in fact, it is the direct opposite, and of consistent quality.
I just wish it was not so much centered on the characters and events of the galaxy Star Wars that we already knew, but rather that we were giving more windows to the lives of ordinary people swept away in these great sagas. More little stories about people, instead of heroes and legends (and Jedi and Sith). We need these stories for Star Wars to feel so much bigger and richer than that.
