[QUOTE="Kaodi, post: 8011587, member: 1231"] There is definitely much virtue to be had in starting a whole new IP. Old franchises get bogged down with outdated assumptions. I tend to think we need a new Star Trek too because a LOT has happened since the 70s that is fundamentally incompatible with the Star Trek account of this time period. I think if I were to chart a path for Star Wars going forward though that was not just "Well, the main story is effed," I would bring in some great threat or change from another galaxy - one that broadened everyone's horizons and perhaps made the Unknown Regions of the primary galaxy eminently Known, something that would have to be dealt with simultaneously. Not the Yuuzhan Vong though - they were dumb, and their slaughter was dumb. The only way to make the make a story about laser sword wielding monks make sense going forward is if the Jedi and the Sith turn out to not be the be all and end all of the Force. That [I]does not[/I] mean that a "new threat" needs to be more powerful or destructive than the Sith were. But it does need to introduce a new perspective. [/QUOTE]
