Star Wars Already Has The Perfect Solution For Amazing New Movies
As the Star Wars franchise moves forward, one of the best places for it to draw inspiration from for new shows and movies is content that it has already created but brushed over.

Star Wars: The Clone Wars primarily took place between Attack of the Clones andRevenge of the Sith, covering the entirety of the Clone Wars. In addition,Star Wars Rebels followed the early days of the Rebellion before A New Hope.
In contrast,Star Wars’ most successful standalone film, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, focused on a single major event. Taking place directly before the beginning of A New Hope, Rogue One told the story of the rebels who stole the plans for the Death Star, ultimately saving the Rebellion by sacrificing themselves. Notably, Rogue One was based on A New Hope’s opening crawl. A single sentence inspired the entire movie, which has now even sparked an upcoming spinoff series, Andor, about the rebel Cassian Andor.
