‘RED FIVE’ could be ‘STAR WARS’ standalone flick

Red Five.

If you believe the rumor mill, Red Five could be an upcoming Star Wars standalone flick. My question though — how would this work? Hamill is old as fuck, and I can’t imagine that they’d cast him in a standalone. Recast the Skywalker? Daring. How about — let me dream — this is an animated flick? Pixar? Let me dream, assholes.

Remember how Disney wanted to release a new Star Wars movie every year? According to this list of upcoming Star Wars toylines from Hasbro, they figured out what these movies will be through 2020, and the newest addition is one titled Red Five.

This list reportedly comes from a Hasbro toy event and published by StarWars-Union.de, who Hasbro later asked to take it down, so grain of salt and all.

• 2014: Rebels

• 2015: Episode VII

• 2016: Boba Fett

• 2017: Episode VIII

• 2018: Solo

• 2019: Episode IX

• 2020: Red Five

We’ve heard plenty of rumors that Disney was planning on making stand-alone Boba Fett and young Han Solo films, so that jibes. But what is Red Five? Could it be about the further X-Wing adventures of Luke Skywalker? Is it just a Disney shareholder-friendly name for a Rogue Squadron-type film? And if Disney’s cartoon Rebels makes this list, could Red Five actually be another animated series? [io9]
