Matthew Vaughn has plans for Star Wars that solely an “fool” would strive

For those who’re something like me, you’ve wiled away countless hours daydreaming about your individual variations of Star Wars and what you’d do with the unbelievable characters George Lucas created. It appears Matthew Vaughn has performed the identical, however the director is aware of his concepts are somewhat bit dangerous.

Let’s be trustworthy, there may be no less than one entry within the Star Wars timeline that you just simply can’t get on board with. For me, watching the Star Wars motion pictures so as ends with The Final Jedi, as a result of I refuse to let The Rise of Skywalker destroy my enjoyable.

Nonetheless, I wouldn’t counsel one thing as loopy as rebooting the entire franchise to begin over once more. However, Matthew Vaughn would. The filmmaker, recognized for his work on Kick-Ass and The Kingsman, has admitted he would like to mess around with Star Wars characters like Luke Skywalker and Han Solo proper from the start once more.

In a latest look on the Comfortable Unhappy Confused podcast, Vaughn mentioned the thought of tackling a challenge within the Star Wars sequence and revealed his controversial plans.

When requested what he would do given the prospect, Vaugh mentioned: “To play with the characters I beloved. So in the event that they mentioned to me we’ll… reboot Star Wars and really have Luke Skywalker, Solo, and Vader and also you do your model of it – everybody would say you’re an fool to strive – however that might excite me.”

Truthful play – no less than Vaughn acknowledges the truth that his method can be sacrilegious. After all, he’s speaking hypothetically, and there’ll at all times be the temptation to get your palms on that authentic Star Wars solid and form the franchise in your individual picture. However what should you break all of it?

Simply look what occurred when LucasFilm and Disney tried to ‘repair’ the harm performed by The Final Jedi. In making an attempt to appease the adverse part of the fan base, The Rise of Skywalker finally ended up being filled with misplaced nods to the legacy of the Skywalker Saga, executed with all of the subtlety and beauty of a bantha piloting an X-Wing.

What Rian Johnson did with The Final Jedi, in deconstructing our heroes and displaying us that anybody might be particular no matter their surname, was such an necessary step for the franchise. It taught us to let go of our notions of what we wish one thing (or somebody) to be, and to simply accept that issues don’t at all times play out the way in which we hoped. What The Rise of Skywalker did, and by the sounds of it, what Vaughn wish to do, is the equal of operating round along with your Star Wars motion figures and pretending Luke Skywalker is your greatest buddy.

Rant over! Anyway, I’m positive the brand new Star Wars motion pictures received’t do something to make me aggravated, proper? To maintain myself feeling constructive, I’d prefer to direct you to our guides on the Andor season 2 launch date and The Acolyte launch date, each of which ought to be superior. Or, you can depart Star Wars behind totally, and take into consideration new motion pictures like The Marvels as an alternative.
