Ryan Reynolds pitched the idea of an R-rated Star Wars to Disney, suggesting a darker, more mature take that would explore deep emotions rather than simply being vulgar. He envisions unique character arcs, portraying beloved characters like Chewbacca and Jedi in grittier scenarios. However, the article discusses concerns over the potential for such a direction to undermine the franchise's core elements, arguing that Star Wars should not parody itself. The existing content like 'Andor' already provides a heavier narrative while maintaining the essence of the mythos.
"Let's imagine the scene: a gaggle of studio execs are nervously cowering before the Hollywood A-lister's megawatt smirk as he reveals his idea for a take on George Lucas's space opera that doesn't hold back."
"If Star Wars ever starts mimicking the shows that exist solely to mock it, then the circle will be complete."
