What's Up Star Wars Fans?
My name is Prince, and I am an Urban Acolyte.
I want to shoot with y'all about some rumored shows possibly coming to Disney +, that's
the name of the Disney streaming service, if you didn't know.
So the rumor, according to We've Got This Covered, is that Poe Dameron, Finn, Lando
Calrissian, and Qi'ra may be getting their own individual shows on Disney +.
I'm not a big fan of We've Got This Covered, so I don't know how to take this news.
For now, I'm calling it a rumor.
Maybe they actually do have some inside sources at Lucasfilm, or at Disney, who would know
something about the discussion of doing these projects, but until I hear something from
Jason Word at Making Star Wars, or the guys over at Star Wars News Net, let's just consider
this as something that might happen...or might not happen.
There are three reasons these rumored shows caught my attention, and it's based on things
I've said in past videos--actually, as recently as yesterday.
So the Lando and Q'ira shows are interesting because remember back in the summer when I
shared my thoughts on Solo?
I think I did a livestream about a trilogy with Darth Maul as the antagonist.
I think some people thought I was saying that Maul should get a trilogy--and I was kinda
saying that, but not the way they assumed.
What I was saying was there could be a trilogy of films, had those other spin-off projects
still been a thing that all dealt with the story involving Crimson Dawn and Maul.
Now if there was going to be a series about specifically Q'ira, it would be more like
a 10-hour movie, assuming there were going to be 10 episodes that are roughly 45 minutes
to an hour.
Now however much time would pass in the series, or if there were multiple seasons, we could
see Q'ira's story and learn Maul's story from the time he left Mandalore when Order 66 went
down and when he winds up on Malachor years later when Ezra meets him during season 2
of Star Wars Rebels.
I guess that would have been about 16 years after Order 66, or about 3 years Before the
Battle of Yavin?
Right now, the only thing I know is that he's been hiding out on Dathomir, or at least running
his operation from Dathomir.
Either way, it would be really cool to have this story where we get to see more of Maul--especially
if we get to see Ray Park in action, as Maul, now that he's recovered from his hip surgery.
It would also be awesome to get Sam Witwer back voicing Maul.
I'll admit, I have been one who wants new stories about a different time period, but
I'm always down for more Maul-- I love Maul.
I love him so much that I did a Real Life Jedi video where I'm going to show you guys
how to train like Maul.
That video is actually finished, but there's a guide to help people who are serious about
the training, so as soon as I finish the guide, the video will go live.
I think I got carried away talking about Q'ira, Crimson Dawn, and Maul but don't forget about
the possible Lando series, too.
The speculation right now is that it would deal with an even younger Lando, so that Donald
Glover would not be playing as Lando.
I don't know if Lando is popular enough to have his own series that doesn't involve Han
unless it's played by someone charismatic.
Who knows, though?
Just like people felt like Donald Glover couldn't play Lando as well as Billy Dee, now I feel
like someone can't play young Lando like Childish Gambino.
I will say this, though-- it would be cool if Lando drops something in Episode 9 that
set up the story for the Lando series, if we get one.
We'll have to wait and see.
Okay, so the Poe Dameron series?
This could be interesing, and I think it would be something unlike we've seen in Star Wars--and
that's a story that deals with a fighter pilot.
I actually think this series could be very popular if the Cassian Andor series is well
received.
Think of the Poe Dameron series as being a mirror to Cassian's series in the same way
the characters are like mirrors of one another--and I'm saying mirrors as in opposites.
We think of Poe as the good guy, flyboy hero--but he doesn't actually follow orders-- I mean
that's one reason so many people picked Poe's side over Vice Admiral Holdo.
Look at Cassian, though-- Cassian follows orders without question.
Both of them kinda come from veteran families.
Poe's parents fought in the Galactic Rebellion--they may have even known Cassian depending on when
they joined the Rebellion.
Cassian's parents died in the Clone Wars, as Separatists.
So he was like a "By Any Means Necessary" kinda guy, but it was all following orders,
well, until he didn't when they went off to Scariff.
The rumor right now is that Poe's series will be about the New Republic military before
he leaves and joins the Resistance.
I think it would be interesting to see him investigating the First Order, against orders,
but the whole point of there being a younger Poe Dameron is in case Oscar Isaac does not
play Poe.
It would add more to the character, knowing more of his backstory--but I honestly would
like to see what Poe's character is doing after episode 9 wraps, assuming Poe survives.
Okay--so that leaves the rumor about Finn, and I wanted to save this one for last because
it's something I've been suggesting since at least a year ago.
So we could actually get a young Finn story, but Finn was a cadet with the First Order.
I'm not sure how exciting a series would be about a cadet within the First Order, but
someone creative could pull it off.
I'm gonna go with this is Finn's character post-episode 9.
So let's go back to the start of me covering Star Wars on YouTube--those videos about Finn
becoming a Jedi in the sequel trilogy blew up, and that's what grew people following
me--videos about Finn being force sensitive and Star Wars Rebels.
If people are really concerned about my numbers on YouTube--there you have it-- Star Wars
Rebels is over, and I haven't had much to say about Finn, or Snoke--and those tend to
be my most viewed videos.
Anyway--let's get back to my speculation that Finn was Force sensitive.
All along for at least the last year, or so, I've said that I don't want Finn's force sensitivity
to be explored in the movies.
It's why I had no problem with what people felt was "Finn being underused" in The Last
Jedi.
The focus of Episode 8 should have been on the thing going on with Luke, Kylo Ren, and
Rey and how that plays a part in The Resistance and the First Order--you know, the bigger
conflict.
Finn had to find his place in that story, the same way Rey had to find her place.
Their place, together, is fighting with the Resistance against the First Order--but neither
of them had made that choice in The Force Awakens--they were just kinda thrown together
due to circumstance.
When Finn awoke from his coma, his intentions were to leave with Rey, just like he asked
her to do at Maz's Castle.
When Finn rescued Rey on Starkiller Base, he probably would have said "okay, Rey, they
got BB8, can we go now--together?"
So Finn had to decide to stay--if he is Force sensitive, but he leaves the story--that's
it.
There's no point in exploring that path because he's no longer part of the Star War--the war
between The Resistance and the First Order--the war to restore balance to the Force.
Do you guys understand?
So let's get back to what I have been hinting at regarding Finn and this whole force sensitive
thing-- I said hey--didn't Kyle Katarn get his own adventures later, after all the Rebellion
stuff went down where he had time to look into his background?
Kyle ended up going on his own mission where he discovered his force sensitivity.
I'm not saying something exactly like that should happen with Finn--but if he is, it
would be its own story independent from what's going on with Rey and Kylo Ren, and what sounds
like the introduction of the Knights of Ren, the Acolytes of the Beyond, and possibly Palpatine's
contingency plan involving the Sith Religion.
Now I just dropped a bunch of stuff on y'all that I want to talk about in another video
later in the week--so make a mental note of all that stuff.
I'll come back to it.
Anyway--yeah, if you're still holding out hope for Finn to be force sensitive-- DO NOT
go into Episode 9 with that expectation.
I know the homie Chris Ryons tweeted something about to John Boyega.
Maybe John was kinda saying "yeah, bro, we got you...Finn is gonna do some Jedi stuff
in Episode 9," but don't go in hoping for that-- if it happens, I want it to happen
when Finn is front and center...it's not a story about Rey, Kylo Ren, or any of that
other stuff because it's too much.
Right?
Remember what I said heading into The Last Jedi about doing too much?
Now people say they want too much.
They say they wanted all that stuff in The Last Jedi, but I'm telling you--they don't.
If Episode 8 gave everyone the sun, moon, and stars, it would have been too much, and
people would have missed it.
I'm not even gonna tell you to search your feelings because I already know it's true.
Studies prove it--when people have too many choices or options, they don't choose anything.
So if you didn't like The Last Jedi-- the truth is, you probably would not have liked
it even if Rian Johnson included all that other stuff people feel he left out regarding
their unanswered questions.
But yeah--that's all I've got to say.
Some pretty interesting rumors out there.
Anyway, quick reminder-- if you're interested in getting in with this Thor workout group--fill
out an application.
I'm looking to start that group next week.
Don't forget about the Broly workout--or if you never saw the Broly video I posted, I
have a Super Saiyan workout I came up with while I was actually waiting to see the Broly
movie last month.
It's free, and I'll post a link for you to get it.
Anyway-- what do you think about these rumored shows coming to Disney+?
Do you think Lucasfilm should do what Marvel is doing where they continue the stories from
the movies on the streaming service?
Also which show do you most want to see?
I actually think I'll do a poll on the rumored Disney+ show you want to see most, but also
