Dieny lol
For Pinocchio, I hope so much that there will be this music Coach to Pleasure Island and Hi Diddle Dee Dee An Actor’s Life for Me, and that Monstro will always be a sperm whale or a Livyatan Melvillei and that he will ultimately have a rather heroic role in attacking and swallowing Pinocchio’s enemies: Stromboli or the coachman. I would not be against Honest John and Gedeon becoming heroic in the end like Lefou in Beauty and the Beast of 2017.
For the Peter Pan & Wendy, I hope it shows how Peter Pan cut off Captain Hook’s hand before throwing it at the crocodile, how and where the crocodile swallowed the alarm clock; where did Peter, the Lost Boys, Captain Hook, and the pirates come from before arriving at Neverland; and also how Hook became a captain. I wish the appearance of Captain Hook, as well as his ship the Jolly Roger, were based on those of HOOK by Steven Spielberg.
For Lightyear, I hope so much that we will see Zurg as he was seen in Toy Story 2 even if he will not be a toy like Buzz Lightyear. I would also like to see a cover of the intro scene from Toy Story 2 with Buzz first appearing until his confrontation with Zurg. I so wish there was this music: You’ve got a friend in me, Toy Story 2 Game Soundtrack The Evil Emperor Zurg, Toy Story 2 Game Soundtrack Airport Infiltration and Toy Story 2 Soundtrack Zurg’s Planet from 0:38 to 1:14.
I hope so much that there will be in Indiana Jones 5 with Harrison Ford (Indiana Jones), the return of John Rhys-Davies (Sallah), Karen Allen (Marion Ravenwood), Shia LaBeouf (or otherwise a other actor for Henry Jones III Mutt Williams), Fred Sorenson (Jock Lindsey), George Harris (Simon Katanga), Eddie Tagoe (Messenger Pirate), Jim Broadbent (Charles Stanforth), Alan Dale (Robert Ross), Kate Capshaw (Wilhelmina Willie Scott).
I hope so much that in The Ice Age Adventures of Buck Wild will show how the Weasel Buck ended up in the world of dinosaurs, what happened after his first meeting with Rudy as when ‘it’s gone crazy that there will be most of the music for the movie Ice Age released in 2002: Opening Travel Music, Angered Rhinos, Humans Diego, Dodos, Fighting Over the Melons, Walking Through, Baby’s Wild Ride, Checking Out the Cave, Running from the Lava, Baby Walks Tigers Try to Get Baby, Giving Back Baby, Send Me On My Way -Rusted Root; and that the series will also take place after the fifth Ice Age where we find the characters from this film as well as those from the previous ones: humans: the return of Nadia, Roshan’s mother, Runar, Roshan’s father, Roshan, saber-toothed tigers: Zeke, Oscar, Lenny, and possibly Soto who survived his injuries, rhinos: Carl and Frank, dodos, sloths: Jennifer and Rachel, Sid’s family: Zak, Marshall, Bertie, uncle Fungus, Milton father of Sid, Eunice mother of Sid; Mama Dino and her 3 babies Roger, Gavin and Gertie, and Rudy (where there could be a t-rex and Blue-like fight against the indominus rex in Jurassic World, but not just head butt but also kick of bites) where the latter could end up being caught and swallowed by the whale Precious (such as the mosasaur catching and killing the indominus rex in Jurassic World), and the worlds seen in the first movie Ice Age.
I want so much to see in a series what Ahsoka Tano and Rex did after the events of The Clone Wars Victory and Death: how Gregor and Wolffe had their chips removed, present in their heads serving to trigger Order 66, and how they ended up with Rex on Seelos aboard an ; when and how Ahsoka met Bail Organa and Hera Syndulla; what Ahsoka did with his other lightsaber; how Ahsoka got his new white lightsabers; what Barriss Offee has become: if she saw Ahsoka again and reconciling herself; Maul fighting Darth Vader; how Maul got his new lightsaber; if Ahsoka saw Riyo Chuchi, Lux Bonteri, Trace and Rafa Martez, Saw Gerrera, Ursa Wren, Korkie Kryze, and Mace Windu if he survived.
If they do a series on Ahsoka Tano, I hope so much that this character’s story begins when she leaves the Jedi Order, and that it is shown what she has become until the events of The Clone Wars Gone With A Trace: If after leaving the Jedi Order, she reviewed Asajj Ventress and teamed up with her on a mission; but also Barriss Offee and talk with her after discovering her betrayal, in order to reason with her and eventually be reconciled.
I would like to see in a series what Ahsoka did after being saved by Ezra Brider in Star Wars Rebels A World Between Worlds until she finds Sabine Wren to leave for the search for Ezra Bridger in Family Reunion and Farewell Part II.
I look forward to seeing Ahsoka with Sabine on their quest to find Ezra Bridger.
I so want to see Ahsoka meet Luke Skywalker, Leia Organa, Han Solo, Force ghosts of Anakin Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Yoda.
I so want to see Mace Windu again in an episode of a TV show sequel to Star Wars III Revenge of the Sith after his fall and is shown how the Jedi Master survived after he been sent out the window by Darth Sidious. I would like to see Mace Windu see Ahsoka Tano again after Order 66.
I so want to see Ahsoka Tano seeing Obi-Wan Kenobi again on Tatooine or before his exile on Tatooine after Order 66.
I hope the Bad Batch will meet Ahsoka Tano especially after Order 66.
