Can an R-Rated Star Wars movie work?

If Star Wars got an R-Rated movie, how would the fans react. is this something that can become a hit for the fanbase or would it flop and everyone would hate it?.

I think it could, given the right storyline.

A Vader movie could do that (due to the violence the character has portrayed in the comics).

An R rating has nothing to do w. how good a movie is or isn't.

Well, yes and no. An R rating could potentially allow for more interesting themes and character flaws and make those themes more impactful and real. It could potentially make for a revitalization of Star Wars, which is needed badly (quite frankly, imo).

But I don't see it happening.

I doubt it will happen, but of course it could work if you have the right actors and script. An R rated Thrawn trilogy would be nice if done right.

Of course. Any non-kids franchise can have a wonderful R-Rated movie.

It's just a matter of quality.

Could it work? Could it be successful? Sure.

Would Disney ever try it? I sincerely doubt it. We're 20-odd movies in to the MCU and not one of those was R-Rated. Maybe that will change now that the movies will be less connected, but who knows.

Yeah, we can't even be sure that Deadpool 3 (or whatever they choose to call it) will be R-rated.

Marvel wouldn't be stupid enough to waste such a good storyline and movie concept (I hope)

Disney is too much about playing safe to entertain the thought of an R rated movie so it wouldn't even exist. Giving Netflix the finger wasn't the only reason they canceled shows like Punisher and Daredevil. Not to mention rereleasing Deadpool 2 with a PG-13 rating.

But would an R rated Star Wars succeed? If it was a pure Sith movie, sure, definitely. That'd be awesome.

Marvel wouldn't.

But Disney could be.

There's a part of me that hopes that Reynolds won't do it unless they come up with a really clever way to get around it. But even then that's asking a lot.

He already agreed to do Once Upon a Deadpool, so he'll agree to anything, as long as they keep throwing cash at him.

TBH I consider that a special case, because Deadpool 2 already existed.

Which of course could be their marketing plan going forward: Release new Deadpool movies in the summer, make them R-Rated, and then release a family-friendly version for Christmas so that if it does tie-in with the larger universe, kids can still have seen it.

As long as we would get the r-rated versions, it wouldn't be so bad.

But stuff like this is not likely to happen, otherwise every studio would want to re-release their biggest hits "slightly altered" and with a new title the same year.
