What's next? CANTINA BAND HAMMERHEAD: A STAR WARS STORY
Probably. You have to remember the original plan was one Star Wars
movie a year.
In fairness, if it was all Vader all the time, people would get bored.
This is just my opinion, but Vader is cool because in addition to being
a general badass he's also a bit distant. I know enough backstory to appreciate the character, but not so much that I'm bored of the
character.
To be honest, a Boba Fett movie (or The Mandalorian or whatever)
"The Mandalorian" TV series is not about Boba Fett.
could be a good idea. There's a lot we don't know about Boba Fett and
the things he did up until A New Hope. Besides, it's pretty clear Lucas/Disney is trying to expand the Star Wars universe. It can't all
just be about the Skywalker clan.
The problem is that;
a. Neither Lucasfilm nor Disney really understand that. They insist on
always bringing in the original characters. They had a perfectly good,
separate series with "Rebels", and then ran out of sensible ideas and
had to bring in Darth Maul, Darth Vader, Leia, etc. Same with "Lego
Star Wars: The Freemaker Adventures".
and
b. The general human being is incredibly stupid. If the movies / TV shows
don't include those original chracters, you get all the dumbasses
complaining "Where is {insert character}?", "Did (s)he die?", etc.
Nobody seems to have the common sense to understand that it's a massive universe with a ton of different stories that could be told. The
closest we've got so far, outside of a few books, was the "Rogue One"
movie.
Mind you, it's no different in any other franchise. For example, in the spin-off Stargate shows they kept bringing in the original SG-1
characters.
As alwyas, it basically comes back to a complete lack of any actual
creative ability in Hollyweird these days, so they lazily bring out the
stuff we've already seen a billion times before. :-(
