Gareth Edwards and Gary Whitta Onboard for Star Wars Stand-Alone Film
May 22, 2014

In addition to the episodes of a new Star Wars trilogy, Lucasfilm and Disney have begun development on multiple stand-alone movies that will offer new stories beyond the core Saga. Gareth Edwards will direct the first stand-alone film, with a screenplay by Gary Whitta. The film is due out December 16, 2016.

Gareth Edwards blazed into the filmmaking forefront with his acclaimed work on Monsters, a film he wrote, directed and served on as cinematographer and visual effects artist. The skill and vision readily apparent in Monsters earned him the high-profile spot directing this year's smash hit Godzilla.

"Ever since I saw Star Wars I knew exactly what I wanted to do for the rest of my life - join the Rebel Alliance! I could not be more excited & honored to go on this mission with Lucasfilm, said Edwards.

Gary Whittas screenwriting credits include 2010s The Book of Eli starring Denzel Washington. He is also well known as a journalist and editor in the video game industry, as well as part of the BAFTA award-winning team on Telltale Games adaptation of The Walking Dead.

Whitta states, "From the moment I first saw the original movie as a wide-eyed kid, Star Wars has been the single most profound inspiration to my imagination and to my career as a writer. It is deeply special to me,so to be given the opportunity to contribute to its ongoing legacy, especially in collaboration with a film-maker as talented as Gareth,is literally a dream come true. I'm still pinching myself."

I knew exactly what I wanted to do for the rest of my life - join the Rebel Alliance!

some bad news for you

can't wait for the DC vs Marvel vs Star Wars era of moviegoing sounds like exciting times of explosions and fighting

Patton Oswalt's filibuster come to life

Eventually the prequels will be more and more appreciated for their idiosyncratic tendencies. There's no way these new ones won't be incredibly watered down.

nowhere to go but up for the prequels

watered down? like in terms of... ideology? philosophical content?

In terms of being made by committee vs. entirely the whims of a single man.

George Lucas not having complete control over this is a very good thing.

Yeah I think plenty of people have a far better idea of what made Star Wars good than him.

lol the best things about the original movies were made by a committee, the worst by george lucas' "whims"

I don't know, I keep seeing things that keep me optimistic. Like that video they released of JJ Abrams talking about donating to the new foundation to win a cameo in the flick, they had an old Jim Henson looking puppet creature walk through the frame. Not some CGI bullshit thing. It's touches like that that leave me hopeful.

yeah they do have a pretty comprehensive blueprint of what not to do

I dunno. I think the world is gonna be more than okay with watered down space-economics

i tried to show a homie the redlettermedia takedown videos and he got visibly upset about 8 minutes in, he really loves the prequels and it was shitty of me to put on a youtube of some guy doing a character voice saying he was an idiot for it

BUT WHAT OF THE TRADE FEDERATION

lol

can we place bets on which ethnic stereotype will provide a model for new alien character(s)? They already covered Jamaicans, Jews and the Chinese, I'm gonna go with Indians.

Cowboys

back to the british hopefully

yeah that OG Death Star roundtable was basically just tinker tailor soldier spy's "the circus" with a vader cameo.

They already covered Jamaicans, Jews and the Chinese, I'm gonna go with Indians.

although i thought i remembered watto being despised for being an ~arab~ stereotype, rather than a jewish one? idk

I don't recall - def coded as Jewish to me when I saw it

i see there's (only) an anti-semitism subsection on the watto wikipedia page, carry on

Looking back now, pretty much all of those horrific ethnic stereotypes were trotted out within the first hour or so of the first movie, right? By halfway through Episode I you'd been introduced to Jar Jar, the Trade Federation and Watto. Were there any notable examples in the later two movies (that weren't additional appearances of these characters from the first one)?

but also, from that Wiki:

Patricia J. Williams of The Nation stated that Watto was also described as a stereotype of Arabs, but that he was "more comprehensively anti-Semitic -- both anti-Arab and anti-Jew."

At least the ethnic stereotypes in the original trilogy relate back to ethnic stereotypes from with the high adventure genre films on which SW is based, i.e. jabba the oriental despot, tusken raiders as excitable natives, etc.

Whereas the prequels seemed to be going out of their way - out of their genre - to reach out, point and laugh at Jamaicans.

Jabba's an "oriental despot"?

i never got that jabba was oriental. i thought he was just fat.

he was originally an Irish geezer

As far as I know, Jabba's a gangster, not a terrorist. They do have a point about the hookah and the mosque though.

jabba is sydney greenstreet y'all
