Obi Wan,Boba Fett Or Yoda as the Third stand alone film?


Personally I would go Obi Wan over them both. As I would see the Boba Fett film being boring and not feeling a Star Wars film. Yoda as cool as it would be to would also be silly basically be a muppets film following him around. But Obi Wan could follow him through 3 different parts of his life in between the films.

As a youngling/Padawan being trained by Qui Gon before Episode I. Then training Anakin before Episode II. Then as a old man watching over Luke before Episode IV so much to fill. And Ewan Mcgregor would still be perfect to they can digitall make him younger and older in the film.

Oh, Obi-Wan!

I've always assumed that he didn't just sit there twiddling his thumbs and waiting for Luke to grow up on Tattooine, he was still secretly involved with Bail Organa and Mon Mothma and the Rebellion, and in his spare time he freed slaves and righted wrongs on Tattooine.

Frankly, I don't see Boba Fett or Yoda being workable as protagonists. Yoda is hard to bear in anything but a small dose, and I never got the love for Boba Fett. He's never been anything more than a thug in a helmet to me.

I'll take Palpatine - A Star Wars Story.

It's fine time we get the malicious backstory to the galaxy's most influential and manipulative leader of all time.

Unless they can make a Yoda film that’s the furthest thing from a Muppets movie, then Obi gets my vote. He will eventually get his own film.

Boba? Best they could do with his character is give him a larger role in Obi’s film.

Ewan Mcgregor is perfect as Obi Wan, but Disney would only ruin it either by using a poorly developed weak ass storyline or including a sidekick with a PC feminist narrative, such is the way with Disney Star Wars.

Jabba, and the story of her fight against those deplorable people like Han Solo that considered her fat and ugly.

It could be called: Jabba, the rogue and beautiful feminist ^^

Seeing as how Ian McDiarmid is reprising his role as Emperor Palpatine for the first time since Episode III, for Star Wars Rebels, I'd love to see Palpatine - A Star Wars Story.

Covering Before, During, and After the Star Wars trilogies. Giving us, the viewer, a little more as to why so many things went Palpatine's way, over and over again, who else he decided to manipulate and deceive, and what he did in his spare time when not consulting with the Jedi, Anakin, or Senators.

Palpatine and Leia are my favorite characters! I'd LOVE to see Ian McD back, he was the best thing about the prequels and totally awesome by any standards!

So yeah, while Obi-Wan is infinitely more interesting than Yoda or Fett, Palpatine is more interesting than Obi-Wan.
