FlipBoardThe new Star Wars trilogy is great and all, but one of the most interesting aspects of Disney’s Star Wars master plan is the Anthology Series. While the new trilogy pushes the Star Wars saga forward, the Anthology films will fill in the details, expanding bits of backstory and adding extra depth to some of your favorite characters. The first in the Anthology Series is this year’s Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, which will be followed by movies focused on Han Solo and, possibly, Boba Fett.
So, what other favorite Star Wars characters should get their own backstory movies? There are certainly plenty of possibilities to choose from. A movie detailing the adventures of Leia between Star Wars: Episode III and IV could be fascinating, and a stand-alone Obi-Wan movie would be a no-brainer. Going a bit deeper, they could do a movie starring all of Star Wars‘ lovable droid characters, or perhaps a movie where the shiny Captain Phasma actually gets to do something properly badass. And hey, what about a movie starring Jar Jar Binks? Disney should do that one just because they can, dammit.
What do you think? Which Star Wars characters are calling out for their own turn in the galactic spotlight?

Phasma? Her movie would be about how to escape a garbage compacter before a planet explodes after getting owned by an old man, a failed stormtrooper, and a wookie. Granted, Chewie could have just ripped her arms off, but still…
Han I’m interested in, as well as Obi Wan, but I could seriously do without the Boba Fett movie.
What I’d really like to see is a Rom-Com set on Alderaan that ends happily ever after until a flash of green light takes over the screen and the credits roll.
That, and a Seven Samurai inspired Jedi movie set in the Old Republic.
I want musical dramedy about the bands on Tatooine. The battle between the rebellion and empire is all just in the background (a la “Casablanca”). Channeling the gritty heart and soul of “The Commitments,” the film would follow best friends Figrin D’an and Max Rebo hoofing it through the dives of Tatooine as young buds. We see their big rise to local stardom, only to have a sad falling out, split up the band, and start anew, one of them settling in to a steady gig at the Mos Eisley cantina, and the other taking over the keys at Jabba’s palace.
Seconded…
