As many of you know it has been announced that after purchasing LucasFilm for a fat $4 billion last October Disney has acquired the rights to the Star Wars franchise and in the summer of 2015 we will be witnessing the release of Star Wars episode seven. Of course this raises many concerns about the Disney’s ability to make it a success or a flop. Following the release of this information was a flood of worldwide viral brainstorming for possible plot ideas. I think this is genius because with Disney owning the rights we can expect to see a new Star Wars film every summer for the next 5 years and as you can imagine fans will probably get burnt out on the force relatively quickly. Therefore having more creative and imaginary directions to head the new series in could prove vital to their success. So far my favorite attempt at creating a new Star Wars plot line was created by Pat Oswald for a filibuster scene on the popular NBC series “Parks and Recreation.”
Pat began by opening up his story line with a vivid description of the desert planet of Tatooine. Out of the Scarlack pit crawls Boba Fett. Anyways, Pat continues his surprisingly detailed and with out a doubt well-researched rant for a daunting 9 minutes without cut or pauses. He continues his level of detail while incorporating ridiculous characters from other worlds such as captain America, X-men, and Iron man. Laughing hilariously at first I realized that his satirical approach brought up a really good point; Star Wars wasn’t that great to begin with. Don’t get me wrong, they are awesome, I will watch any of the 6 if they are running on TV, however as far as movies go their pretty crummy. Known as the original sci-fi westerns, Star Wars received an average of 18% on rotten tomatoes. Point being, lets have fun with these next one, honestly what’s the worst that could happen, ok if they star Zack Effron and turn it into a musical id consider fire bombing their headquarters but other than that I have faith. Thank you Pat Oswald for refueling my child hood excitement in the Star Wars franchise.
