What other genres could be transplanted to the Star Wars Universe?


Rogue One is essentially a war movie set in the Star Wars Universe. It occurred to me that now that Disney is opening up the Star Wars Universe outside of the Lucas storyline with this film and the upcoming Han Solo spin-off, what other films could they do?

One of the things that stood up was the Chinese characters who weren't proper Jedi Knights but was force sensitive and was adherent to religious doctrine. This could be expanded to have a Seven Samurai type storyline. Considering how you saw Darth Vader went through Rebel soldiers like knife through butter with his force powers as well as the main baddie in the Force Awakens movie, there could be a possibility of one of those Sith Jedi's (not sure of the terminology) going rouge that could give a slasher/horror type of story. I also was thinking that as Rogue One was more grown up, there could be the possibility of a political type thriller where an Imperial agent could the hero who thwarts an extremist Rebel Alliance aligned faction from say using a Weapon of Mass destruction against civilian targets.

If Disney is brave enough, the movies they could make is limitless. Does anybody have any ideas about future spin-off movies?

Personally i'd LOVE to see a liveaction PG13 movie based on the book "Deceived"
which tells the tale about Darth Malgus, Elena Daru and the retaking of Korriban.

The Historical genre. Plenty of crap is treated like history these days why not have a Star Wars history foretelling the tales of the Jedi,Sith and the cosmic events of the Galaxy.
