The Disney Plus streaming service is getting closer and closer to launch in November of this year. The D23 expo is set for next week, and will show off a lot of cool Disney Plus reveals. It seems a very good time to write this blog post for the top Star Wars Disney Plus shows that I want. I went over the Marvel Disney Plus shows that I want a few months ago and many have been confirmed to be happening. Same as with that list some of these shows could end up elsewhere, such as Hulu, Disney XD, Disney Channel, and on ABC. Some things I don't mention, although they very well could be TV shows, but also movies (for example Darth Bane), because the future and medium for the project is unclear and there is a lot of setup needed elsewhere first. I don't expect all of these shows to happen, it's just a fat list. With that let's get started.
Confirmed
The Mandalorian
This show has already been confirmed for a while and I covered it when it was first announced. It is being made by Jon Faverau and Dave Filoni. The show is about a lone gunslinger, set a few years after Return of the Jedi. The Mandalorian stars Pedro Pascal as the titular character. It will release November 12th, day one of Disney Plus with at least one episode released that day.
Cassian Andor
This show is the second and latest confirmed show up to now, although there are some credible rumors about other series. It focuses on the character of Cassian Andor (Diego Luna) before the events of that movie. It will also have Alan Tudyk as K2SO back again from Rogue One. Something very interesting that could be explored the show is that Cassian was a Seperatist during the Clone Wars, explaining his views on Jedi. It is being run by Stephen Schiff and will be released sometime in 2020 or 2021.
Speculative
Podracing
Roll up with a z. Blast my horn. B we off fboy. That's what I says to little Ani when i pull up in my podracer. A podracing series would be great, set on Tatooine with high adrenile races and drama. Who knows when it is set. Podracing is just one of my favorite aspects of Star Wars to pull up on that we've not seen enough from.
Jabba The Hutt
He eats people, rated m for momma. It will be the The Godfather 4, i swear to gid. It is something huge happening. Have you ever read The Art of the Deal? No not the Trump book, the Jabba comic, son it is fire. The Hutt can roll up and make a scene go out of control with his fat body mass and business genius. A miniseries would be very fine.
Young Jedi Underground
Your boy, Trevor on the deep web gave me this bit of an idea, "But seriously, I'd like to see a show about force-sensitive people who don't know about the Jedi order developing new abilities and how they use them. Think Heroes but without the early expiration date. (It's Nate's idea and I'm stealing it.)" I think that rocks! Let's see what these young force-users do on and off of Coroscant when they don't get tracked and straight up grabbed by the Jedi with their Cerebro youngling-tracking power.How do they get lightsabers, let's explore that. Now I don't really know Heroes but I do know a show called The Tomorrow People about an underground group of teens with powers and if this is like that for Jedi, it will be cool. The Tomorrow People 4, hype boys!
Crimson Dawn
We have to see more of the Crimson Dawn. Maul was set up for the future in Solo and we have to see how he gets from running a crime syndicate to living in the scum of Malachor on Rebels. I think you could bring in someone else for this series, an antihero or bounty hunter (possibly Boba Fett) as a way in to the series, a not so evil character and possible protagonist, and a person to take down Crimson Dawn. It can't really be Han, because he didn't believe in the force, so he can't see Maul. Also what's up with Qi'ra, she betrayed Han, do they ever meet again? And how (if ever, in the near future) does she die? These are questions we need answers to and I need this series.
Solo 2
Make Solo 2 Happen was a big hashtag and movement going around the Internet. But Make Solo 2 Happen doesn't mean not to care about other series being released. Here I am advocating for 3 Solo related TV series, but just because I don't want other series more than these doesn't mean that I should get mad or sad or even not excited when other shows I want less are announced. I just had to get this out of the way, because it is a trash opinion I saw people expressing when Kenobi (which Solo is garbage next to, sorry fanboys) was rumored. Nevertheless a Solo show would be the straight up bomb. We would see Han cozying up to Jabba and whatever him and Chewie did there on Tatooine after Solo and whatever other possible adventures he got in to. What was Jabba putting together a crew for? I would be very excited if this show was announced.
Lando
Disney is holding up on Lando's series that is needed, now. Come on guys, you got Donald Glover in there, he was amazing in Solo. You cast that man for your future. He is a busy man so make it a miniseries, but pull up with it and quick. I could see a show set both before and after Solo. Him going around with L3 and the Falcon truly would be great. What's the deal with the Mindharp of Sharu. Pull from the Lando Calrisian Adventures in Legends. If this series happens, you know that I want it.
Yoda
He needs a show, straight up. Yoda's not number one because of reasons of his mystery and need the other stories more but hes the character I need most. But I am worried that aspects of him could be ruined, as Han in Solo. But no matter what Yoda is my favorite character and he needs something to make him a little bit more fleshed out.
Lost Tribe of the Sith
I know i said before not to speculate early about Darth Bane, but I defenly do not see a Lost Tribe movie at this point, i think sidetales are better for TV anyway. But it would be cool to see it set up a little in an Old Republic movie. This series would be based off of John Jackson Miller's Legends book Lost Tribe of the Sith, a story about a Sith society developed and stranded politics in there, spanning generations, with intriguing characters. With only a little set up from a film, it could be a very enjoyable story.
Dex's Diner
Here's the sitcom of the bunch, inspired by Seinfeld and Everybody Loves Raymond. The laugh festival this show would be just from the concept to the episodes and plot. But I honestly want this, because I was always interested in Dexter Je Diner, how it worked and the goings-on since Episode II. You get to see this wacky, humorous, and four-armed Besalisk guy and his droid and alien pals, discovering their characters and that part of Coroscant. What is Dexter's past how does he know Obi-wan. I need to know that now please Kathy.
Detours (Animated)
Now, Seth Green made this dumpster fire when he was 12, so cut him some slack but going from the sitcom angle it could be not bad, it even has Dex's Diner in the show. Just feel me that releasing it because it is fully ready, it would be pretty cool. Now Disney, just don't give it too much press, so people aren't disappointed. Although you'll get full watch from me, I'm just medium on the hate, I know what to expect and I'm hyped for it.
Rogue Two/ Bothans
Many Bothans died for these Death Star II plans. I swear to gid, if we only got to see Rogue One because you could have humans and a battle in it and we never get this, screw them, straight up. The rule is no aliens screw that. They'll learn eventually from the shows that that is simply not true, I would hope. It is now time for Bothan-mania and who says you can't do a story of legendary proportions with them. I am here for it now.
Knights of Ren
Kylo Ren might get shot in The Rise of Skywalker. So we will have Rey lead his knights like a King Arthur show with pillaging and oodles of lightsabers. The Knights of Rey. Honestly though I would truly take this show as a prequel to Force Awakens or after the Last Jedi, maybe this is where we could see the Jedi Purge. I really want it and so does JJ Abrams i mentioned before, saying, “there’s a Knights of Ren story that I think would be pretty cool to tell.” So come on, just make it. These bums at Disney are too scared to do what i say. Just kidding, but I would really like this show.
Lost Stars (Anime)
Lost Stars is one of the greatest Star Wars books in canon. It is sort of a love story between the two main characters, Cienna Ree and Thane Kyrell. They are both in the Empire until Thane breaks off and joins the rebellion. I won't say much else so not to spoil it, honestly I didn't think it would work or be good, even while people were telling me it would be. I only ended up reading it because it was by the author of my favorite canon Star Wars book, Bloodline,by Claudia Gray. and I was so wrong the book is great, I really got connected to the characters and worlds and it connects to the movies so well. Look if you doubt it would be good take it from me that I doubted too and thought it was good. Anyway they adapted it into a manga and I was thinking that they could turn that into an anime.
"When I saw in The Force Awakens that my cracka, Luke actually listened to Master Yoda and made a Jedi training dojo I had to see that happen. Even when Benjermin Solo burned that house down putting Luke into exile for his guilt that was when it got real good with plot and drama of what drove him to doing that. I have to see this happen now. We can get a bunch of cool Jedi characters in Luke's students, good and bad. How did he collect them? What sort of crazy adventures did they have? In the great novel, Bloodline, Kylo is out missioning with Luke, what was happening. How much of the texts did Luke follow and listen to the old ways or in with the new? These are some of the questions that a post-Return of the Jedi series could answer.
If this show were to tell us the stories of Luke (Sebastian Stan), Han(Alden Ehrenreich), or Leia (Millie Bobbie Brown) following the events of Return of the Jedi, it we'd have to see these actors play the roles. It would be an amazing way to close the gap and kind of like another trilogy. The show could also have great potential for new characters, including anyone who may have been at Luke's Jedi Academy. It would also be the absolute bomb. If I see the day where this is reality ever, I will love it. I will even watch from prison if it comes out after i eat thousands of dollars worth of postage stamps at the mail center while the mail officers are sleeping."
Top 5 shows
5 Bounty Hunters [B Huntaz]
You knew it was coming. Boba, Dengar, Bossk, Cad Bane, IG-88, 4-LOM, Zuckuss, Embo. My boys. This will be the firest win under Disney's belt, deliver this product immediately, Kathy. Now, or i will flip out. Nuff said.
4 Ezra/ Thrawn (Animated)
I've told you about this before if you are a loyal reader. We need to know what happened. Tell me Filoni, please. Ezra and Thrawn blasted that Star Destroyer whale off into the fat nexus where the heck is it? Pull up with this, you know you were setting up for the future. Not knowing leaves me ragged. So many opportunities for this show, Sabine and Ashoka. Disney is no longer working on resistance lug their dead weight over onto this future show please. I need this.
3 Legends (Animated)
"I have already mentioned a few Legends stories that could be inspiration for new series. But what about Legends itself? Most of these stories (though not all) are pretty good, and need to be on TV. This TV series could take existing Legends stories and adapt them directly to the small screen. They would still exist outside of the canon, but it would serve as a love letter to fans of these old stories. The only problem with this show would be the potential confusion generated it not being canon. People understand the multiverse in Marvel, the fools would catch on. Besides, a message of the non-canon status of these stories in the title sequence could easily clear up all confusion. Marvel is already doing What If on Disney Plus, the literal translation of that is Star Wars Infinities, which would be cool but Legends is better and would bring back a bunch of the fans with minimal braincells that jumped off of the train at the start of new canon. Any Legends fan would probably love to see an adaptation of the Thrawn trilogy, the Dark Empire trilogy, The Force Unleashed, or the Yuuzhan Vong war. Despite not being canon, there are still many good stories to use in Legends. You cant really do Darth Bane or Plagueis justice, because Disney shouldn't limit themselves in the future and spoil what they want to make in the future for the mainstream audience because they could still pull from Legends for canon."
2 Kenobi
This one is so close to being confirmed I would 100 dollars on it being announced at D23, it's also so so close to being my number one pick for this list, but I just don't think it has as much scope and potential as what is in that spot currently, although Kenobi really does have so much potential. Showing where Obi-wan was in the desert what he was doing. The transition from Mcgregor to Guinness Of course Mcgregor is playing him. No other can touch the character in live-action, MORON! But I think well have some cool aspects, not Maul, but Vader probably and Luke, Owen, and Beru. I hope it plays off of John's, John Jackson Miller's Legends book, Kenobi about him in this time period one of my top legends books, it totally can guide this show and bring in some characters and plot points from that book. Also the Marvel Comics have Ben's journal about his life and times that has to pull up with a reference. Mention Satine, please. Moreover, I need Obi-wan 's inner demons and character exploration, wrestling with what he should have done with Anakin and I need the penultimate confrontation between Vader and Obi-wan where Obi-wan tries to pull him to good and fails. I NEED Qui-ghost the most though.I need this show!
1 I said one of my favorite Legends books is Kenobi, my number one favorite is DARTH PLAGUEIS. The book by James Luceno is the best in connecting the star wars saga and crafting amazing characters and story. This must be a show, on god. Tom Hiddleston Palpatine. Andy Serkis Plagueis. Star Wars: Sith.
Now I know that Serkis played Snoke, but Snoke died and was in a different time period. But since Serkis is the best i have got to come up with for the role, he's great you could play into the Snoke Plagueis theories with this, make it true. It does not really matter that much now, just give this to the fans. Picture Plagueis walking into an opera house full of mob bosses. They jump our man! He lights them up with force lighting and blazes through them with his lightsaber. That is kind of from the book and from a vision i have had of the masterful action this series could contain. So many characters you could have, this being set before The Phantom Menace, with Plagueis training Sheev Palpatine. So much lore to rail through. The Sith, man we are up here, live -action Star Wars TV and to think I once never thought we'd see the day.
Oh boy, these shows are fire let's hope i get my wishes on all of em. At least the mains. But I am good whatever we get even though i spat out a ton, I am sure there's a megaton more that I missed that I would love. Peace out. Stay connected. Floor.
