With the success of “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story,” and the fact that “Solo: A Star Wars Story” was a darn fine movie as well, we couldn’t help but imagine a better “Star Wars” movie and TV show universe. This would be one where the Star Wars goldmine was better handled and, most importantly, a steady presence in movie and TV land.
With that in mind, the Comics on the Brain Team sat down and brainstormed an imaginary slatel of Star Wars movies. This was the kind of legacy that we wanted. One that actually supported multiple generations of fans and gave the world a steady supply of toys, merchandise and solidly entertaining storytelling.
Just imagine a story that continued year in and year out, producing high-quality stories. We’re talking about Timothy Zahn’s novels. We’re talking the Dark Horse Comics. We’re talking the D6 role-playing game from West End Games. We’re talking about the great Star Wars novels and anthologies. We’re talking about a Star Wars that filled-in every nook and crannie.
We only bothered with titles. That’s all you really need. Just enough that could have built an even bigger empire! Here’s the kind of slate we were dreaming of:
- 1977: A New Hope (Episode 4)
- 1979: The Empire Strikes Back (Episode 5)
