My first thought is very surface level that I want to see a live action adaption of the Tales Of The Bounty Hunters book. It's a perfect opportunity to get a variety of directors and to lets each segment really push into different genres. The IG-88 story always stuck with me personally because it has so much going on. IG-88(series) is created as a shady off the books project, which goes wrong for the creators. It's like a horror movie section with a terminator coming to life. Then it becomes a kind of strange scifi conspiracy with the IG-88s taking over a robot production planet while keeping up appearances. Simultaneously it incorporates bounty hunting and brings in Boba Fett in his classic cold blooded EU incarnation. It's just fantastic. And much as I gush, the other stories in the book are all interesting in their own ways as well.

After that, since Star Wars is heavily "WW2 in space", I'd like to see some kind of submarine warfare analog. Perhaps it makes more sense to put the rebels in the shoes of a wolfpack hunting down Imperial supply convoys, and evading their counter measures with wit and luck. Think of all the tense submarine movie cliches and port them into a Star Wars setting. I think it clicks.

These ideas fall short of high concept, high minded examination of deeper things, but they come to mind for me when I think of what I'd be gripped by in Star Wars live action. I'm sure there is a lot more examination that could complement these ideas and fill them out to be more substantial.

I'd like to see an apocalypse now sort of movie following a squad of stormtroopers.

I would like to see a more balanced view of the Force and how the jedi's complacency/rule has been a fertile ground for corruption and injustice. And/or how a lot of jedi concepts especially regarding human relations and emotions are unhealthy.

Basically a more modern approach to how a jedi theocracy is problematic as fuck. Kotor 2 tried to lean a little bit on that and had the option of being "neutral".

Potentially an unpopular opinion, but I've always loved the political side of star wars, so I would love to see more of that. I felt that the Clone Wars struck a healthy balance between politics and action, but I would still love to see more of the political side.

Personally I would love a movie or mini-series - which leans heavily on the more graphic, grounded aspects of the EU - beginning with the Malachor V incident, showcasing the backstory and rise of both Darth Sion and Darth Nihilus - ultimately being found by Darth Traya and forming the Sith Triumvirate. I'd love an open-ending that shows Sion taking the Republic Vessel and arriving at Peragus, and a post-credits scene of Nihilus sending Visas Marr to hunt Meetra Surik.

I'd also love to see a series with Gungi set 100yrs or so after the OT in which he'd be restoring or expanding a new Galactic Jedi Order as a threat from the Void begins to destabilize the galaxy. Ideally he'd have the wisdom of Yoda (if not more) but without Yoda's arrogance, given his coming-of-age during the CW and the GCW

I'm in the middle of the Lost Stars manga right now. I wonder if it could be made into a 2D animated film.

I want them to make a rogue squadron show.

Just clone every episode of Black sheep squadron into Star wars.
