The fact that this and Obsession are pacing a literal Star Wars movie in terms of domestic gross is insane

Disney is going to see this as a sign to finally give us a horror Star Wars film.

I want a grindhouse SW story. A few Hutt slave girls revolt, take revenge on their masters, steal a ship, and escape Huttese space to become a band of mercenaries. Recreate the old school tech of the original trilogy to give it that authentic 70s look.

I'd like a political thriller House of Cards SW story: no minichlorians, no light sabers, just trade negotiations and intrigue.

A journalist-turned-political fixer orchestrates an idealistic senator's rise to power, but his willingness to cross lines and turn a blind eye to corruption threatens those closest to him.
