6 Star Wars Characters Who Deserve Their Own Movie
No sooner did Disney announce that they’re definitely planning to make some Star Wars spin-off films than we’ve already got unconfirmed rumors that these movies would be about Yoda, Han Solo or Boba Fett. This means that along with the planned trilogy of Episodes 7, 8 and 9, we’re also going to get some stand alone movies starring specific characters. Seeing as how I’m a big Star Wars fan, this sounds like good news to me.
I want to live in a world where Boba Fett survived the Sarlacc
And being such a big Star Wars fan, I’ve got a few ideas of my own. The great thing about the Star Wars universe is that it’s so full of different and unique characters. Sure Luke Skywalker is the big hero and saved the day, but there are so many other fun characters who deserve the spotlight for once. So here are 6 Star Wars characters that I think should get their own movie. And I’d love to hear some of your ideas in the comments.
Chris Pratt as Star-Lord! This is Awesome!
Marvel has once again scored an awesome casting coup by scoring Chris Pratt as Star-Lord in the upcoming Guardians of the Galaxy film! If you’ve never heard of him, Pratt is spectacular and hilarious as Andy on Parks and Recreation, one of my favorite TV shows.
What a handsome guy
So I am incredibly excited by this news! I love Pratt, and I think he would be absolutely perfect for the semi-comedic role of Star-Lord. Not much has been released about what we can expect from Guardians of the Galaxy, but if Star-Lord is anything like he is in the comics, Pratt will be perfect. Even if they have to cover up his pretty mug with Star-Lord’s badass helmet.
Not quite as handsome, but he makes up for it in badassery
For those who don’t know, Star-Lord is the leader of the Guardians, and the only human on the team. He’s the smart, clever, and sarcastic one, with a great sense of human. He’s also an action star. I think this could be a real career-maker for Chris Pratt. I am very, very excited by this news. And if you aren’t watching Parks and Rec, you definitely should be.
Star Trek Into Super Bowl
Iron Man 3 wasn’t the only big upcoming film to get a teaser at the Super Bowl. Check out the new Star Trek Into Darkness bit.
I think it was an alright piece. But honestly, these trailers could use more focus. I’d like to see a really rich story trailer to let us know what’s happening. Otherwise it’s just random scenes of violence and destruction, with Benedict Bandersnatch acting all menacing. He plays a good menacing, but it’s getting to the point where I want to see something new.
Impress me, Star Trek Into Darkness!
Iron Man 3 is the Real Winner of the Super Bowl
I may not watch the Super Bowl or care much about sports, but I definitely love a new Iron Man 3 trailer.
Fantastic. That stuff with the airplane full of people was very exciting. Clearly someone remembers all the excitement from the first Iron Man trailer, when the scene of him flying alongside the jet planes rocked the nation. That definitely ups the energy level of the new film.
And that joke with Robert Downey Jr. at the start? Good times.
I would have liked to have seen a new Thor 2 commercial, but Iron Man 3 is definitely going to rock this year, so I’m pumped for what we got. Looks like we’ll be seeing a darker, possibly more badass Iron Man. That’s good for everybody. I really hope the film does well. Threequels are always hard to pull off, but I’m confident in the Iron man franchise and in Marvel’s ability to handle its movies. Plus I have confidence in director Shane Black, and in Ben Kingsley as the Mandarin. I have very high hopes.
He’s falling…with style!
Full Superman: Unbound Trailer
The next DC animated movie will be an adaptation of Superman: Brainiac from Geoff Johns a few years ago. However, the movie is actually going to be called Superman: Unbound for some reason. Does the word ‘brainiac’ not sell? Does it make people think that Superman is just a big nerd? I dunno…but enjoy the trailer!
