Lucasfilm's theatrical Star Wars ventures reached a level of exhaustion by the time the sequel trilogy ended. Every other year, mainline saga films are released with one-off anthologies in between. Things didn't go as well for the movie as they did for the movie. Changing directors and being rushed to meet a deadline just five months after the release of Star Wars: Episode VIII made The Last Jedi a box office bomb.
Despite the poor commercial performance,Solo did manage to garner a moderately positive critical reception and see a boost when it was added to Disney+. The cast of the movie was engaging and made for a good sci-fi adventure. She showed great potential for being expanded upon outside of movies. The revelation that the leader of the crime syndicate is Darth Maul could open up an exciting world for Star Wars to explore, especially in a series on Disney+.
Lucasfilm's latest live-action Star Wars TV series with The Book of Boba Fett was released this winter. The show couldn't build up the bounty hunter as the compelling antihero so many people wanted him to be over 40 years ago, nor match the new high standard set by Disney+'s flagship show, The Mandalorian.
There is nothing wrong with giving a bounty hunter a code of honor, but the show wasn't really about moral grays within the Star Wars universe. She isn't above getting her hands dirty, but she is shown inSolo: A Star Wars Story to be a good person at heart. She and Han were forced to work for gangs as orphans, and both of them learned to survive.
She embraced the survivor role after being separated from Han. The movie ending on a cliffhanger could make for an eight-episode limited series. There are rumors of an animated series with Sam Witwer reprising his role, but it's unclear if Lucasfilm would use Maul in live-action again. There is a lot of room for Qira to shine in the timelines from the beginning of the movie to the end.
A hypothetical series could pick up where the movie leaves off or it could take place much later in the future. Thanks to the Star Wars series, the leader of Crimson Dawn is back. It would be thrilling to see a mobster-themed show that details how she succeeded, but that same atmosphere could be explored in a series that starts with Lady Q.
Most would agree that Donald Glover's take on Lando Calrissian was the most exciting part of the movie. From his debonair appearance, to how he carried himself and threw his weight around the room, to how he made the role of Billy Dee Williams his own, to how he made the role of Billy Dee Williams his own, to how he made the role of Billy Dee Williams his own Lucasfilm announced the Lando Disney+ series on Disney Investor Day.
Lucasfilm's bad habit of announcing new projects that end up in development limbo is the only issue. It would be a good excuse to work on a live-action Star Wars movie if Lando pans out well.
The main trio in general had great chemistry, as did the main trio as a whole. It wouldn't be difficult to work on a professional reunion between the two characters in Lando.
It would be best to tell a complete and focused story in this scenario. The argument could be made that since they have a history of supporting each other, they would be a good fit for a supporting role.
The dots seem easy to connect. The show that made her a household name was the acclaimed, cultural phenomenon of a show that was not on the air for season 8. The actress already has her foot in the door of two of Disney's biggest intellectual property.
While her Star Wars future is still unclear, Disney has already penned a script for the upcoming series Secret Invasion. Being in one doesn't guarantee a return to the other, but this seems a seamless transition as far as franchise turnover is concerned.
Lucasfilm is on a break from Star Wars. The studio is concentrating on expanding the TV arena with more live-action and animated endeavors. The fact that every major streaming platform under the sun is trying to stay in the game seems like free content, so long as the creative team attached handles the story with care and not like a cheap cash-grab.
The main trio would benefit from a serialized story. The movie has a painfully dangling plot thread, which could make it the most exciting TV series.
