I have no problems with a movie being entirely set on Tattooine, personally. It's just I know some people consider the place boring.
However, I think it would make a FINE setting for a western in outer-space starring Obi-Wan as a man with no name...

I think I've been misspelling Tatooine this whole time. Shit.
It's not as bad as people typing "Vadar" and "Chewbacka" but still.

True and I loved Tatooine in Knights of the Old Republic (game), they could easily fetch an entire movie on that planet alone.
Plus a character piece on Obi Wan would be sweet.

Maybe no lightsaber fight.
Hell, I like the idea of a bored Obi-Wan going into Mos Eisley and fucking with people to teach some of the scum & villainy a lesson.

Heh. We see the altercation in which Kenobi learns what a Krayt Dragon sounds like, and why it scares off Tuskens so easily.

I would love to see him practicing the new scream, yell, or whatever the hell that is.

I agree with you there. If the Dooku rumor is true, I'll be very happy.

Prequel trilogy: "Jedi can't have children."
Sequel trilogy: "lol Anakin, Obi-Wan and Dooku all had children."

I want to see the Obi-Wan spinoff expand on this: "Mos Eisley Spaceport. You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy. We must be cautious."

So, you want to see an adventure where Obi-Wan gets into it with some Mos Eisley scum?

I want a film about Obi-Wan hanging out in the desert and occasionally being a creeper and spying on Luke while he's sleeping. He would consistently have some internal dialog regarding how he picked the wrong Skywalker to watch over, since Luke is a whinny bitch who always is trying to get out of working the moisture evaporators. The movie could be filmed entirely in sepia-tone. I don't know who would best play disgruntled Obi-Wan though?
Sounds good, but early script leaks and all. Going along with the themes and tone of the original trilogy I think this sounds about right - a sense of hopelessness with some great ordeal for a new generation to take on. Destiny and all that, rebuilding the Order on the back of a grizzled hero. I do not expect Luke to live very far into the first film.
I just really hope they don't fuck this up. Lightning hardly ever strikes twice, but I hope it does with Star Wars. Because the prequels were not up to snuff IMO.

Seven Samurai in space? Except only one is an an actual Samurai (jedi)
I'm hoping they are working on Boba Fett film. I liked Kazdan's idea that the Boba we know from the OT is not the same one from the prequels. He just has Boba's armor because he killed him and took it from him.

Oh shit.
A riff/adaptation on Seven Samurai was what Zack Snyder met with Lucasfilm about back in February of 2013.
He should be wrapping up Justice League right around the time Lucasfilm is done with the second spinoff...

Knowing WB, they might turn him into the Joss Whedon of the DCCU.
Haha yea that's exactly what I was thinking of. Given the influence of Kurosawa's works on the SW saga (or on its origins), it would make some sense. But mostly I think it's just where Obi-Wan's story needs to go. After ROTS he's in exile and probably blaming himself for the rise of the Empire, so he needs something in which he can 'be a hero'.
I forgot about that rumor of Snyder doing a spin-off. Maybe that's why he's been tweeting SW/BvS crossover images these past few months.

Honestly, I've been thinking the same thing. He DID have that meeting, and has been quiet ever since. My guess is that he knows when he's going to be done making superhero movies for WB, and set up his next jump back in February 2013, and the closer he gets to that exit date, the more he's got Star Wars on his mind.
An Obi-Wan Kenobi led Seven Samurai riff on Tatooine, starring Ewan McGregor, directed by Zack Snyder... I think it's possible.
It would be a great thing to see. I hope it happens!

And then the LORD David Bowie saith to his Son, Jonny Depp: 'Go, and spread my image amongst the cosmos. For every living thing is in anguish and only the LIGHT shall give them reprieve.'
I'm forgetting the progression here...did Ben go straight to Tatooine after the events of III?
For the purposes of a new movie with Ewan (which I really like the sound of), I wouldn't mind if they shoehorned in a big event into his early years in hiding. Hell, work the Inquisitors into it for the ultimate retcon...maybe they made it to Tatooine and somehow didn't get their man.

He took Luke to his uncle didn't he?
Bobby Roberts

yeah. He went straight from the Tantive to Tatooine, and there he stayed until they went into Mos Eisley to find Han & Chewie.

I can see Obi-Wan getting into trouble on Tatooine. He never seemed like the type to let shit fly past him. You can even work in the Jabbas.
The Obi-Wan movie would probably have Boba Fett as well. Also wouldn't be surprised to see a young Luke out-pilot the Jedi Master.

They need to be more sly with a Luke cameo. Like have Obi-Wan in a market and there's a little blonde kid telling his friends he can't go to the pod races because he has to help on the farm.
Bobby Roberts
Banned
Yeah. Having Luke do a Anakin the Pod Racing Wizard redux would be a bad call. If anything, it'd be funny if, to keep Luke low-profile, he sabotages a race so that Wormie stays in 2nd or 3rd place, and doesn't catch anyone's attention.
I wouldn't be surprised if Obi-Wan was the person who taught Luke how to fly considering how Uncle Owen and Aunt Beru want him far away from that kind of stuff. I also like the idea of seeing a grizzled Obi-Wan still bitching about flying, and it would tragically tie in with Anakin if he flew with Luke and blasted some womprats. I also want to see Boba Fett spying on them.
But yea Episode 1 was a great example of how not to do younglings in Star Wars.

I know this is giving the writers too much credit, but perhaps the Jedi came to the realisation that preventing Jedi -namely Anakin- to have children will eventually lead to an embittered, horny Jedi turning to the dark side. *shrugs*

It wasn't like Jedi couldn't have children. They chose not to.

Yes it was, that was one of the reasons why the Order fell. I hope that rumor about the villains being related to Dooku is true, since I want these movies to tie in to not only the OT trilogy but Prequel trilogy too.

They'll tie into both.
And I was talking with Count the other day but what if the girl isn't Han's daughter but Luke's? How would you guys respond?

I would be fine with it. I just wonder who the mother would be? Would Mara Jade still be the mom, or are they going with someone completely different? That is if Luke has a daughter or son.
TheKaeptain

Not sure who could be the mother but I would like it this way. I think it would be good if Luke had a life outside of the jedi order. So no one really knows about her they just know Luke leaves once and a while. That's why when he left for the last time there were no questions.
I know they're going to go the easy route and she'll be Han and Leia's.

What if the girl is a female clone of Luke made by Sith/Imperial remnants to hunt him down and kill him but then she can't because she falls in with the Solos on their own search for Luke and grows like and respect them and so when the time comes 2/3 of the way through the movie to kill him she can't and instead joins them in their own quest to learn of the forces arraying against them?
I like my idea better.

That's a good theory about Luke's wife. I think he should have a kid in the movies. I guess once the first trailer comes out, it might answer a few questions. Either way, I'm just looking forward to this movie. The onsite photos of spaceships, etc, is getting me very excited.
