Kanye West is man known for two things, snatching things from girls hands and making outlandish statements (apparently he also makes music, but I don’t know anything about that) and it looks like he’s up to the latter again.
No, he’s not saying he’s running for office again, this time he’s announced that he wants to join the ever expanding Star Wars Universe. Read on to find out what role he has in mind.
A source close to the Rapper has revealed that he has a great fondness for the epic space opera, with it influencing both his music and fashion designs.
Whilst having West show up in a cameo role in the same way that Simon Pegg played Unkar Plutt or Daniel Craig portrayed a Stormtrooper in The Force Awakens would be acceptable, it seems the songwriter has other ideas, with the source revealing:
“Quite a few of his fashion designs have been inspired by Star Wars and he’ll often throw a long coat over his shoulders when he goes out that makes it look as if he’s wearing Obi-Wan’s robe. It’s a standing joke that one of his nicknames is Mannequin Skywalker and he actually likes being called that. He’s watched all the movies many times and he regards George Lucas as the greatest genius Hollywood has ever seen.”
While the idea of West showing up in the franchise as a long lost Skywalker sibling may sound like one which we will never see on the big screen it may actually be a reality with one production executive revealing:
“We’re open to all ideas. Nothing is beyond the realms of possibility.”
With the franchise now expanding into Spin-Off territory with last years Rogue One and next years Han Solo origin film, there will likely be plenty of characters introduced in the coming years so it’s likely that we could see West live out his dream. Let’s just hope it’s one without too many lines.
