In one of the most talked-about fandom debates online, Reddit users exploded with creative, controversial, and deeply passionate ideas when asked: “You are put in charge of Star Wars and asked to make one film, one live-action show, and one animated project — what are your pitches?”
This thread didn’t just stir opinions — it lit up the community with over dozens of original concepts, old republic fantasies, clone wars revivals, and stories fans actually want to see brought to life.
1. Live-Action Film: Origins of the First Jedi
One of the most upvoted fan pitches centers on a movie tracing the first steps of Jedi history on Tython, long before the Skywalker saga ever began. This film would follow an unassuming human slave who becomes the first Jedi hero as they encounter ancient Force mysteries and shape the galaxy’s destiny.
This concept grabbed attention because it finally gives fans the origins story many have wanted since the franchise expanded beyond the Skywalker era — especially with Lucasfilm’s plans to explore fresh timelines and new big-screen projects like The Mandalorian & Grogu continuing the story between Return of the Jedi and The Force Awakens.
2. Live-Action Series: Scavs — Tales of Galactic Outsiders
A bold pitch that divided fans suggested a gritty, character-driven show about a crew of scavengers made up entirely of non-human characters — Trandoshans, Quarren, Klatooinians, Pykes, Devaronians, and more — surviving on the fringes of the galaxy.
Instead of Jedi knights or Rebels, this series would focus on the underbelly of the galaxy, presenting a Star Wars story told through the eyes of “villains” and outcasts. Fans praised this idea for being refreshing and giving diversity to on-screen perspectives beyond the usual protagonists.
3. Animated Project: Clone Wars Clone Saga — Kix Unleashed
Another pitch that received strong support was an animated adventure focusing on Kix, a 501st Clone Trooper, who is discovered decades after being trapped in stasis. Awakened long after the Clone Wars, Kix must find his place in a changed galaxy where clones are misunderstood and the Republic has fallen, wandering with a group of pirates and renegades.
This would combine classic Clone Wars style animation with brand-new emotional depth — exploring what it means to exist outside the conflict that defined a warrior’s life.
Fan Reaction: Heated, Buzzing, and Divisive
Across the thread, fan reactions ranged from gleeful excitement to heated debate:
-
Many clamored for a Clone Commandos live-action show in a “Band of Brothers”-style war narrative, arguing the Clone Wars era deserves deeper exploration that live-action storytelling could finally deliver.
-
Several voiced that Star Wars should take riskier, mature creative swings after years of familiar narratives — especially following ideas like an R-rated Star Wars pitch floated by Hollywood voices like Ryan Reynolds.
-
Others still defended classic character arcs, dreaming of animated reinventions or continuations with voices from the original cast.
Why This Debate Matters Right Now
Star Wars is more active than ever on both screens and online discussion forums. New productions are on the way, including The Mandalorian & Grogu, slated for a 2026 release with expanded lore and surprising casting cameos that have fans buzzing.
At the same time, Star Wars storytelling continues to evolve across eras and formats — meaning fan-driven pitches like these aren’t just idle chatter; they often shape and influence expectations for future canon.
Conclusion: Star Wars Fans Don’t Just Watch — They Dream Bigger
Whether it’s the first Jedi’s origin, a scavenger-led live show, or the journey of a forgotten clone, the Reddit community isn’t just consuming Star Wars — they’re actively reinventing it, envisioning stories that challenge the galaxy’s boundaries and push the franchise into bold, controversial territory.
Would Lucasfilm ever green-light these fan ideas? Only time will tell — but one thing’s clear: Star Wars is just as alive in fan imagination as it is on screen.
