Recently, Disney surprised Star Wars fans everywhere announcing Star hunterAn upcoming film starring Ryan Gosling. At this time, nobody knows a lot about this exception of the film for its title and star. However, I am ready to make a prediction worthy of Qui-Gon Jinn: Star hunter It will be the chosen film, bringing balance to the deeply unequal world of Star Wars cinema.
Why am I willing to make such a bold prediction for this film based on nothing more than its name and the name of its star? On the one hand, the name Star hunter It implies that this film will focus on a pilot instead of in Jedi and Sith with which Star Wars Trilogy sequel was so obsessed. To modify a phrase of the podcast Killer Star Trek, Great generationIt seems that Disney is adopting the idea of ”Star Wars as a place” … after all, the very, distant galaxy is mature for different types of stories instead of square or what came before.
The failure of Star Wars sequelae left many fans asking why films went wrong … like, how could Disney ruin a follow -up of the most famous science fiction films ever made? There are many narratives floating, including criticism that the films failed because they revolved around Rey, a so -called Mary Save letter. But the truth is that thesis films failed because they cool us a Infinitan More horrible version of the original trilogy, with Jedi fighting Sith and the rebels fighting an evil empire.
Star hunter It does not seem that it will revolve around that tired formula; On the other hand, it will probably focus on the original characters in this family fictional universe. This is exciting because it reminds me of the original Moss Eisley Cantina scene of A new hope… A scene that is so exciting precisely because we know that each of these crazy creatures has its own wild story. Luckily Star hunter He will focus on a similar character … Someone who is only trying to survive and otherwise could not matter less franchise icons such as Darth Father and Luke Skywalker.
Further, Star hunter It is guaranteed to give us something what the Star Wars franchise has always stood out: Killer Outer Space Battles. The cemented trench streak A new hope As the first success of the true science fiction box office, and the battle of Endor was Easily most Return of the Jedi. Assuming that it can give us some more impression than the weak battle of the s salsa spaceHello Rise of Skywalker (It is true that a very low bar to clear), Star hunter He could restore this franchise to his old glory faster than 12 parsecs.
Shoulder Star hunter Break the theatrical fall of Star Wars and become a critical and commercial success, will inspire Disney to create more constructed around original characters instead of creating endless films and programs based on what came before. That is the main reason why I see the film as the chosen kinematics: it has the potential to remind the public and the executives that Star Wars is a fictional universe with an endless narrative potential. The only way to waste this potential is to do the same and the decreasing results, which is what Disney has been doing, effective directing this franchise to the ground.
When a franchise has encountered the ground in this way, it has nowhere to climb … in this case, to the stars. We still don’t know much about Star hunterBut for this old school fan, it is enough to know that we will get a fun solo film around an original character. Only at the end of the endless bait of the nostalgia of the years can give Disney a set of franchises a long time ago, a long time, better and more brilliant future it deserves.
