I'm not going to do anything... but I do have ideas for how a new Ristar game could work. Inspired by Meta-Knight, I can imagine a Ristar OC named Alistar, despite being an anti-hero, still wants to help Ristar.
New "minions" to Kaiser Greedy in mind are Null and Void, twin-villains.
EDIT: I've given it some thought, and maybe a "Raymans Origins" approach would be a more ideal approach for Ristar. Reintroduce him as a reboot with a more animated style like modern Rayman games, but still has that colourful vibrancy as Kirby games.
A reboot with a more animated style?
I would definitely prefer that over 3D reboot.
May be something like the canceled Eartworm Jim 4.
If I ever feel like attempting a concept demo, I might try it. I can imagine face-designs for Ristar, as well as a brand-new backstory as a demigod. I'm tempted to introduce something of the likes of "Star Warriors", his father was a legendary hero amongst them and likely the last of the Star Warriors, who the Star Goddess Oruto had a child with. Because of the heroes absence due to Kaiser Greedy's takeover, Oruto awoken her son to save the Valdi System and find his father.
That's a nice story concept.
Kinda remind me of Opa-opa's story in Fantasy Zone II W.
), so not sure if you want to include this?
