Gareth Edwards and Gary Whitta Onboard for Star Wars Stand-Alone FilmMay 22, 2014In addition to the episodes of a new Star Wars trilogy, Lucasfilm and Disney have begun development on multiple stand-alone movies that will offer new stories beyond the core Saga. Gareth Edwards will direct the first stand-alone film, with a screenplay by Gary Whitta. The film is due out December 16, 2016.Gareth Edwards blazed into the filmmaking forefront with his acclaimed work on Monsters, a film he wrote, directed and served on as cinematographer and visual effects artist. The skill and vision readily apparent in Monsters earned him the high-profile spot directing this year's smash hit Godzilla."Ever since I saw Star Wars I knew exactly what I wanted to do for the rest of my life - join the Rebel Alliance! I could not be more excited & honored to go on this mission with Lucasfilm, said Edwards.Gary Whittas screenwriting credits include 2010s The Book of Eli starring Denzel Washington. He is also well known as a journalist and editor in the video game industry, as well as part of the BAFTA award-winning team on Telltale Games adaptation of The Walking Dead.Whitta states, "From the moment I first saw the original movie as a wide-eyed kid, Star Wars has been the single most profound inspiration to my imagination and to my career as a writer. It is deeply special to me,so to be given the opportunity to contribute to its ongoing legacy, especially in collaboration with a film-maker as talented as Gareth,is literally a dream come true. I'm still pinching myself."

Eventually the prequels will be more and more appreciated for their idiosyncratic tendencies. There's no way these new ones won't be incredibly watered down.

I don't know, I keep seeing things that keep me optimistic. Like that video they released of JJ Abrams talking about donating to the new foundation to win a cameo in the flick, they had an old Jim Henson looking puppet creature walk through the frame. Not some CGI bullshit thing. It's touches like that that leave me hopeful.

can we place bets on which ethnic stereotype will provide a model for new alien character(s)? They already covered Jamaicans, Jews and the Chinese, I'm gonna go with Indians.

Looking back now, pretty much all of those horrific ethnic stereotypes were trotted out within the first hour or so of the first movie, right? By halfway through Episode I you'd been introduced to Jar Jar, the Trade Federation and Watto. Were there any notable examples in the later two movies (that weren't additional appearances of these characters from the first one)?
― djenter the dragon? (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Friday, 23 May 2014 18:33 (ten years ago) link
but also, from that Wiki:
Patricia J. Williams of The Nation stated that Watto was also described as a stereotype of Arabs, but that he was "more comprehensively anti-Semitic -- both anti-Arab and anti-Jew."
