Now give me a live action Shadows of the Empire. The script is already written for you. It's easy money. Just show some balls, like you did with R1, and recast the OT actors. You've already got 1/3 of it done with Sebastian Stan as Luke Skywalker.



You can find a Leia and a Lando, and Han Solo isn't even in the ****ing movie because he's frozen.

Hell, Ian McDiarmid can play the Emperor again, even, and you've already figured out how to portray Vader.

The more I think about it, doing SotE would just seem doing a rehash like Ep VII did to Ep IV.

Dash's importance in the Shadows realm was 1) Rogue group pilot taking down AT-ATs 2) tracking Boba Fett (and taking down IG-88), getting the DS-2 plans from the Suprosa (which whitewashes the efforts of the Bothans. Check your privilege shitlords) and then 4) rescuing Leia from Coruscant.

There's no real need to revist Hoth.. nobody gives a shit who IG-88 is.. and the Suprosa gambit would just be a spaceborne version of the raid on Scarif.

EDIT: Also, the big bad in SotE is an alien crimelord with irresistible sex pheromones who has a blonde bimbo sexbot as his hatchet man. As much as the Black Sun was a good foil for the good guys in the expanded universe.. it doesn't match the 'tone' of the latest releases of media.. think back to how the Hutts were handled in Clone Wars. Criminal organizations = dark comic relief, not a serious villain.
