Additionally, interplanetary travel has been a staple of nearly every Star Wars story on television and film. Obviously it’s a formula that works, but space travel and battles are something that the franchise has leaned on so heavily, I can’t help but imagine what a Star Wars film would be without it. In a time when Star Wars is taking a hard look at where it’s been, and where it’s headed, I’d like to run through the strengths of doing a franchise entry without space travel.
