The Future of Star Wars

I think that the next move of the Star Wars franchise should be to embrace the movie serial Flash Gordon roots more completely than ever before.

They should pick up after Rise of Skywalker, hire a bunch of writers of the kind who used to do one-off episodes for Star Trek, Doctor Who, or shows like that, and just start making stuff up. Forget trilogies, a destination, coherent plot - just rock out hard with whatever crazy sci-fi/fantasy nonsense and crank 'em.

They've already run it into the ground, turned it into a money-milking machine...why not have some FUN with it?

If fun is the order of the day...

I would love to see an Unholy Alliance between the Rebels and the Empire where they take on the Star Trek fleet. Perhaps we could throw some Cylons in there as well.

Dr Who turns up and they follow him back to Earth cue Superman and Co taking on the Stormtroopers.

I wouldn't watch it but then again, I don't watch any of that stuff anyway.

If it was done deliberately cornball, tongue-in-cheek, heavy on the irony, right on that "parody" line...yeah. I'd watch it. If it wasn't self aware, just a sad attempt to make a new "cinematic universe", then it would suck.

But if it was a deliberate joke, I'd definitely watch Star Trek, Star Wars, Dr. Who, and whatever else all rattling together.
