Theatre as 'The Next Chapter'

I think Star Wars is one of those properties that works in its medium of film, George Lucas developed a live action TV series but couldn't feasibly achieve it on a television budget. They've had success with Clone Wars and Rebels but that's because they're CG. A Stage production isn't impossible but it's not a story that benefitted from being told on stage. 

There's already a parody of 50 Shades doing the rounds on stage called 49 1/2 Shades of Grey. And I think a parody of that godawful nonsense is the only way to bring this on stage.

There was also talk of that Hunger Games live version somewhere in London (in a new purpose-built theatre/arena?) that seems to have died down completely.

I think Star Wars is too CGI-heavy to convince on stage. Although I wouldn't mind them trying. The stage sets/effects were the smallest problem of the Lord of the Rings musical.

On the whole though, I really don't want to see franchises taking over straight plays as well, there have been enough lacklustre "Big Movie - the Musical" adaptations in recent years.
