Since I don't know what the hell is going on at the New York Comic Con in terms of Star Wars, I'm interested in having this thread since we're at the beginning of the new decade and I wanted to make this for some time now.
What do you want to see in Star Wars going forward? Maybe up till the end of this decade, which would be at the beginning of 2030?
As for me:
The Second Clone War, or Clone Rebellion Led by the Bad Batch. Basically, exactly what it says on the tin. I want to see the Bad Batch eventually lead a rebellion against the Empire and even (at least almost) win for a time before they're suddenly setback by Palpatine's plotting, maybe through a biological agent that kills most of them off or maybe they try desperately to escape to the Unknown Regions like Spartacus and his forces trying to escape out of the Roman empire during the end of the Third Servile War. It would certainly help flesh out the early empire and give it more character, I think. In addition, it would show that the Empire could not establish peace in its time. It was built on the betrayal of the Jedi and then the Clones, mostly at the same time.
A Crimson Dawn Terrorist Insurgency Throughout the Galaxy. This could happen sometime after the Second Clone War, possibly in the time-jump between Rebels season 2 and season 3. It would give a different rebellion, a "dark rebellion" that's twisted and horrible in its origins, and goes about everything the wrong way (morally speaking). It could even strengthen the Empire in terms of its support in time for the Galactic Civil War between the Rebel Alliance and the Galactic Empire. I would imagine that Maul would still be the leader of the Crimson Dawn by this point. Maybe he loses control of the organization to Kira and goes to find Obi-Wan and Luke in a potential gambit to one-up Palpatine? Maybe the Crimson Dawn survives past the fall of the Empire (or the end of the Galactic Civil War)? This would go along with a Kira/Maul TV show.
An Obi-Wan Series Where He Has a New Apprentice and Where He Meets Commander Cody Again. I hope that Obi-Wan gets his own apprentice in the upcoming TV show starring him. Maybe one that survives past the Galactic Civil War. And yes, I mean another apprentice besides Luke. I also hope he finds his own "flame," so to speak, and has his own progeny. But more than that: I hope that Cody and Obi-Wan meet again. I've wanted this ever since I saw ROTS back in 2005, all the way back when it first came out. Here's hoping that we see this in live-action as well and not in the Bad Batch series. I would like Temuera Morrison to reprise his role.
A Sequel Series That Takes Place After The Sequel Trilogy (So After The Rise of Skywalker) That Takes Place Hundreds of Years Into The Future. Basically, a new galaxy to explore with a character based off of the one in the Journal of the Whills scripts (so basically the original Star Wars scripts that made up the original trilogy). Something like The Star Wars comics that were based off of the original scripts. The character would use a blaster instead of a lightsaber but know how to use the Force. Maybe have him have his own crew and style it as more of an adventure story than a story that's deeply political or war-like..
A High Republic MMO Like The Old Republic MMO By BioWare But Improved Upon. I want a Droid class, a Pirate class, and the original classes that you see in The Old Republic MMO. I love MMORPGs like The Old Republic and Final Fantasy XIV so let's have more of that. Maybe make it into a hybrid between The Old Republic and Star Wars Galaxies, which I think was arguably their best MMO and one of the best MMOs ever done in the West, imho. In addition: have it either set during the time-period between the end of the Sith Wars and the Clone Wars (so 1,000 BBY to 22 BBY or whatever the calendar is supposed to be like) or during the Sith Wars itself (so we can actually explore that time-period and be able to play as the Sith, much as I find them to be boring).
A New KOTOR Game But In Line With the New Canon Starring Either Revan Or His Apprentice Or Both. Basically, a new KOTOR game either made by BioWare (not that I expect much from them) or by Larian Studios. Maybe even Owlcat Games could get the go-ahead to do a game similar to the previous KOTOR games. Or maybe even CDProjekt Red, though to be honest, I have my reservations about them nowadays. Even so: I hope that they eventually take a crack at the KOTOR era and make a classic RPG in line with the previous iteration in Legends. For example: I want to see more "low-tech" technology to show that there's a progression from 3,000 years before the Clone Wars to the Sith Wars (where technology was presumably at its height) to the High Republic (where galactic civilization was presumably most at peace). Also, again, have it more in line with the new canon (so perhaps with see the Lasan here and there). And bring back Revan's apprentice and if you're going to kill off her/him, don't do it in a way that's anti-climactic (like in that book by Drew Karpyshin).
A New Timeline Set After ROTJ That's More In Line With George Lucas's Original Treatment For The Sequel Trilogy. I would also have George Lucas head this project, if he's willing to, as I really respect him and his work. I know this idea will no doubt be controversial with the series going all "Legend of Zelda" and having split timelines but after reading what was going to be in the scripts and seeing how it would deal with the Whills of the Force, I definitely want to see this sometime. I don't think it'll ever happen, but it would be nice if George Lucas gave us one last adventure, though it will likely be controversial, knowing Lucas.
More Exploration on the Whills and the Prophets of Whills and The Various Organizations Based Off Of Them. Basically, like what we'd get in George Lucas's original story treatments and scripts for the sequel trilogy, at least in terms of the original scripts for Star Wars Episode VII. I'd also like to see that "Cold War" between the "New Republic" and the new "Confederacy" like entity that was hinted at in the story treatments with the threat of the fascist Imperial Remnant looming in the background. It would be nice for both sides to come together to fight the Space Fascists™ and I think that would be pretty poetic in this day and age.
An Enemy Besides The Sith (Or Yuuzhan Vong For That Matter). It's not that the Yuuzhan Vong were that bad per se, but they aren't good enough to hold their own as villains, as I think was evidenced by The New Jedi Order series of Legends fame (or infamy) in my honest opinion. All that said: the Sith should also be retired, at least after ROTJ (or after TROS in this case). Palpatine should be the last Sith Lord and the most powerful one to have ever lived. Let him stay that way. All that said: we definitely need new villains and I'm hoping that we'll get them with either the Whills or whatever the new villains will be in the High Republic series of books, comics, presumably games, etc.
The End of Ahsoka Tano. Now, I know what some of you may be thinking, and no, I'm not someone that hates Ahsoka, certainly not blindly or otherwise. I really like her. I hope we get more of her on-screen. But also: she really has overstayed, I think, in terms of her life-span. Yes, she's Togruta and she could be living for up to a couple hundred years for all I know. But I think that it beggars belief when she survives past The Rise of Skywalker. I mean, yes, I get it, she's popular, and I like her too. And I really like Dave Filoni and hope that he becomes the new head of Lucasfilm. But at the same time, I hope that her exploits in the post-TROS era are her last, whatever they may be.
---------------------------
That's all I have for now. I'll let you know if I have anymore. But please, tell us what you want in the Star Wars going forward. Thanks! Go wild with what you want.
Also, Honorable Mentions:
-More aliens in general; too many human characters running around.
-More Duro like Cad Bane.
-More Cad Bane in general.
-More explorations into the Confederacy of Independent Systems (what's left of it) after the Clone Wars during the Cassian Andor series (which I'm lowkey excited about)
-Maybe an Aphra series that explores the history of the GFFA and leads into more eras, possibly from before the KOTOR era.
-More synergy between the comics, TV shows, books, and ESPECIALLY the movies; the sequel trilogy felt too much like its own thing and not in a good way, in my honest opinion.
