(Spoilers)
The Star Wars franchise has finally done it. I have waited so long for Star Wars to complete the circle. I love Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Zombie movies. It is relative rare to get this triple play going in one show.
Ahsoka went there on the season finally.
Zombie death troopers. I couldn’t ask for anything more. The circle is now nearly complete. Star Wars has developed and embraced a veritable dog’s breakfast of tropes. And I am thankful.
Here is a list of how things were added over time, from my viewpoint:
Science Fiction (spaceships)
The force (fantasy) implies that only some can become a Jedi.
Political intrigue.
Force particles?
Clones.
Shape shifters.
Hyperspace as a weapon.
Baskar which can’t be cut by light sabers.
Grogu and the possibility of force transfer.
Jedi who are not Sith and not Jedi. (Ronin?)
Hyperspace whales?
Dark Magic, and witches?
And finally, Zombies!
While I did enjoy the season finally of Ahsoka, it makes me wonder what else can be added into the Star Wars universe. What will the future hold for our intrepid rebels? What other sinister forces will the empire bring to the fight?
I have a few suggestions:
• I would love it if Star Wars would pluck a story out of the Star Trek universe. Particularly the old generation. It would be great if the empire ran into a species that was both peace loving and ultra powerful.
• Oh, and it would not be difficult to add in a plot line about biological weapons gone sidewise. Think Umbrella corp. This would tie in nicely with undead zombie Stormtroopers. Just have the empire infect a rebel base. Undead zombie rebels!
• Oh, and how about a galaxy wide invasion where both the rebels and the empire must team up to fight off the new bad guys. Think Borg.
• And we have seen “Force Ghosts” of Annikin and Obi-wan. How about some evil Sith force ghosts? (Say that five times fast)
• Then there are the gods. Let’s introduce Loki, Thor, and Odin. Great opportunity for Disney to do a Marvel / Star Wars crossover.
Disney, keep up the good work.
