Last workweek , we learned that Disneywasn’t makinga alive - activity Star Wars television series anytime soon . That ’s a shame , because if there is one benefit to sweeping away the erstwhile Expanded Universe , it ’s that there is now so much of the new galaxy to explore , and television would be a everlasting means to do it . Here are five Star Wars show estimate Disney should be working on already .
Law & Order: Coruscant
In the royal criminal justness system , rebellion - found offenses are consider especially flagitious . In Coruscant , the dedicate Stormtroopers who enquire these vicious felony are member of an elite squad known as the Special Victim Elimination Unit . These are their story .
Okay , that ’s a joke , but the idea really is n’t . Star Wars spends a lot of time with heroes who , when they ’re treat with laws , are dealing with them on a galactic scale . Is there a undifferentiated punishable code for every Republic ? What if you expose the law on Naboo but it was n’t illegal on your home planet ? Or how about just the cogs in the wheel hear to keep people from knock off and murder other masses ? Coruscant ’s mother a vibrant underbelly that would be just perfect for this . Plus , Law & Order ’s been franchised out all over the world ; why not a new galaxy ?
Star Wars: Starfighter Command
I can not carry how many times I have call “ Why do n’t we have a Star Wars version of Top Gun yet ? ! ” while inebriated and tempestuous at a bar . ( Or my dwelling . Or my office . ) It seems like such a slam dunk to have a show about training pilots . I need living legend Wedge Antilles teaching a novel generation how not to die in outer space . I really require to somehow make him say “ Son , your self-importance is writing checkout your organic structure ca n’t cash . ” I want squadron of citizenry signing up because of a poster of Poe Dameron and his tousle hair , only to find out they do n’t have the right stuff and make hack . I desire ego and flight simulators and the sad sag of Admiral Ackbar ’s barbels when he ’s ordinate something that will get a lot of newbies kill . Buckeye State MY GOD WHY DO WE SPEND SO MUCH TIME WITH JEDI . PILOTS . LET ’S DO AN ENTIRE SHOW JUST ABOUT PILOTS .
Spies
Espionage give a lot of boulevard to dive deep into the Empire and the Republic at the same time . There is n’t a short ton of moral ambiguity in the Star Wars picture — the Empire is malevolent , the Rebellion is goodz — but spy always introduce a grey area . you may have a cryptical - cover Rebellion broker who starts idealistic but develop more lacerated as she has to betray multitude for information . It lets us see even Imperial citizens who are just trying to exist but also could terminate up Force - choked because of her . Or an Imperial who decides to become a dual - agent and all the work he has to do to gain the trustfulness of the Rebellion and not lose the trust of his superiors . Doing real espionage , no action at law , would also be a great way to distinguish this show from every other big enfranchisement on telecasting .
A Satire
In my mind , it ’s the place episode of NewsRadio , but every calendar week . Te show had its news reader say this :
Tragedy struck today in Sector 9 as rebel terrorist blew up the Death Star killing thousands . The Rebel Alliance , a fringe radical of Anti - Empire fanatics , has claim responsibility for the terrorist number . fortuitously Lord Vader escaped without harm . Our hearts go out to the family of the victim .
state me you would not watch an entire show where people have to deliver the news program of the Star Wars galaxy . On the purple side , you could watch propaganda being made . On the other , hardy diarist run for the truth .
Droids Playing Sabaac
Bear with me , this makes sentiency in context . Droids Playing Sabaac would be an anthology show where a lot of droids get together every week and tell stories about their various owners . You could tell any story this way , order from protocol droids working in the political science to scut droids doing cleaning . Little cut of life history from the Star Wars universe . No pressure to remember a retentive , overarching plot . Just fun vignettes every week .
