I absolutely love the Raimi Spider-Man universe, and I just watched a video about the canceled Spider-Man 4 game. Obviously, the game never happened because the movie itself got canceled, but apparently Spider-Man 4 was supposed to be published by Radical Entertainment, the same studio behind Prototype.

And honestly, some of the beta concepts for the game look lowkey really cool.
Now that we’ve had genuinely great swinging physics in Spider-Man games since 2018 thanks to Insomniac, and they made it even better in 2023, I genuinely think the best move would be to just give the Raimi Spider-Man game license to a good game publisher.

Because if we’re probably never getting another movie with Tobey, MJ, and the rest of the Raimi cast, at least give us a game.
And I honestly think it could be a massive success. You already have some of the scrapped concepts from Spider-Man 4, like Vulture and his daughter, which could give you a pretty interesting plot for Peter.

(It could mean that our support would show Disney that we want more Ben Solo/Kylo Ren) Maybe Adam Driver is still involved in the production of these comics somehow

The biggest question is that we still don’t know how many students Luke actually had. In the flashbacks, we only see a handful of dead students, and the three who followed Ben Solo were eventually killed by Ben and the Knights of Ren.

That makes me think there could have been other students who survived the attack and went into hiding during the reign of the First Order, similar to how some Jedi survived Order 66.

The recent Starfighter leaks also mention a Jedi Temple, and some rumors suggest it might not even belong to Rey. If that’s true, could surviving students from Luke’s academy be connected to it?

I’ve been thinking about the recent leaks, and here are a few of my theories.

Timeline
I think the idea of the movie taking place 5 years after Episode IX was probably just an early pitch that eventually changed. My guess is that things shifted once Dave Filoni became more involved with the project.
I have a feeling the movie could actually take place around 50- 100 years after Episode IX. That brings me to my next point.

Cade
The new leak says Ryan Gosling’s character is named Cade. On top of that, the officially released images make him look surprisingly similar to Cade Skywalker from Star Wars: Legacy (Legends).
If that’s intentional, I think it would be a smart move. Setting the story much further into the future would let Lucasfilm move away from the sequel era while still keeping a Skywalker at the center of the story. A fresh start with a new generation.
What’s also interesting is that Cade Skywalker eventually walked away from the Jedi path and became more of a Han Solo-type smuggler. If the rumors about Gosling’s character being a Han Solo-style lead are true, that lines up surprisingly well with Cade’s Legends storyline.

The Jedi Order
Another reason I don’t buy the “5 years later” gap is the Jedi Order itself.
I just don’t see Rey rebuilding a fully functioning Jedi Order with trained Jedi, a temple, and an organized structure in only five years. That feels way too soon. Even Luke’s Order in canon was relatively small before it fell.
If the movie is set many decades or even a century later, it would make much more sense. We could finally see what Rey’s Jedi Order eventually became after generations of growth, rather than seeing it in its earliest stages.
Obviously this is all just speculation, but I think a setting much farther in the future actually fits the leaks better than the reported 5 year gap.

Since I first watched The Duel I instantly fell in love with the idea of a Ronin who is neither good nor truly evil and who seems to hunt Dark Side users or Sith and collect their kyber crystals it is such a cool concept and I would love to see more of it

He’s an amazing actor
