I'm still intrgiued by the line on Jedi where Jabba says something along the lines where he helped hunt down and kill Jedi. A standalone movie where the survivors of Order 66 would be awesome for me. BLack Sun, the hutts, Vader, Bounty Hunters, seeking out and destroying the last of the Jedi. How does Obi-Wan and Yoda remain undetected? So many questions that don't really need answering but work well. That could bring Ewan back too for a movie.
