A Jedi John Wick Star Wars movie? Sold. Especially if we could get Keanu Reeves to join the Star Wars movie as a literal Jedi John Wick fighting beside Ahmed Best’s Kelleran Beq. ( If he’s not too busy making John Wick movies forever, anyway.) Best shared his visions of a Jedi John Wick movie with ComicBook.com, noting:
I keep putting this out there. I want to do a Jedi John Wick as Kelleran Beq. And I don’t even need to say any words. I just want to do two hours of lightsabers and people in the way. I really want to do something like that because the fight that I did for Mandalorian is 1/10th of 1% of what I could do. And there’s so much more.
I was just talking about this, the style that influences Kelleran Beq is from Filipino martial arts, and nobody really knows very much how deep those arts are. Most of the Jedi are Japanese Samurai influenced, but the Filipinos beat the Samurai and they beat the Spanish. The way they move, the style that they move, and the weapons that they use are revolutionary. It’s so much so that a lot of what Bruce Lee does in Jeet Kune Do is influenced by Filipino martial arts. So I really want that to be highlighted through some kind of Jedi story.
Ahmed Best, we support you on your quest to make a Star Wars Jedi John Wick movie. It sounds like it would be amazing.
