I think this all would be better handle with a min series or cartoon rather than a movie.

I welcome it as long as it is interesting. There are a ton of Star wWars back stories and expanded universe stuff to build on.

I don't believe that at all. Maybe make the sequels to Ep 6 instead.

I think all the character's stories from the movies are done. If there any more star wars movies, I'd like to see them take place 2 or 3 thousand years before or after episode 1-6. According to the expanded universe, the sith and jedi have fought to gain and regain control of the galaxy for many milenia. I don't want to see a story with any connection to the characters we've already seen.

i agree. a new star wars story that takes place during an era either before or after the current story line would be great.

on a side note, the last rumor i heard was that lucas is also considering re-doing ep. 4, 5, & 6 all in CG. would be interesting how that goes. he's already got all the audio dialogue. now to just dub it onto a CG version.

nah, i don't think he would do that. that'd be way too risky. this chapter is closed imho.

however, making something that happened a long time before the actual events of episode 1 is very very probable. besides, making another SW based movie means a loooot of money.

ever heard of Knights of the Old Republic video games? ;)

and yeah, I'd LOVE to see such a movie :buttrock:

I think he would do better to make the han solo trilogy books into movies....

They chronicle the early days of han, how han grew up throught the empire, rescuing chewie etc. excellent read incase anybody hasn't read it i recommend them.

Manwich

P.s i think any other stories should be done in the same style as clonewars cartoon they were SWEET!.

I'm sure we can all agree on this.

Huh, the second half of ROTS was really good, which kinda bummed me out. I didn't want to miss star wars and was looking forward to closing the book on the whole damn thing. So yeah, the fanboy in me would love to see another star wars for sure!

PhilOsirus

05-27-2005, 05:51 AM

They already wrote stories set after Ep 6, with I think Luke turning to the dark side and so on, and the new Jedi academy, etc.

Chems

05-27-2005, 01:27 PM

episode -1?

Actually...I wouldnt mind seeing the Timothy Zhan books made into a movie....or 2 or 3...though....since all the original cast are so damn old now...guess we'd have to get al new folks to play the parts. Course George could always just make 3d versions of them all...lol

I agree, the Zahn books are awesome, really create the universe excellently, I know that lucas has endorsed them as great books. With Lucas' touch Im sure they could be as good as ep4-6.

lemme guess... and then he has a son and a daughter, and eventually she'll turn into a princess and he'll turn into a farmer boy with a BIGGER and STRONGER Force than his daddy, wich by his turn has gotten a new dark cool outfit... am i right?

Oh boy this could be the endless sequel plot ... matrioska dolls anyone? :twisted:

I wouldn't mind seeing Yoda's early years actually, but I agree it would be better as a TV series rather than another trilogy.

Ugh, I hope they don't give him hair. I don't whant Master Yoda to ever look like Yaddle. (Female Yoda-like creature that appeared in EP1)
They made a cartoon series for the ewoks, why not make one for Yodas story instead of another prequel or maby a 3d series?

t-toe

05-28-2005, 03:04 PM

screw another Star Wars sequel. I think I would rather them focus on the live-action TV series. Yoda can show up in there from time to time if he wants.

Brettzies

05-28-2005, 10:08 PM

I want to see episode 3.5 !!!

Though, I've read tid-bids here and there alluding to a tv series? Maybe that will be it. Not sure I like that idea unless it's a cartoon like the clone wars.

Speaking of Clone Wars, hard to believe how much plot you miss if you haven't seen VolumeII. I really love the clone wars series, but I wish they would have incorporated the invasion and capture of the Emporer into the movie.

BRUTICUS

05-28-2005, 10:38 PM

I like the idea of a 3.5 aswell.

Watching Vaders empowerment in the Empire. Seeing what he does all these years in that position. Seeing Yoda watching over events unfolding. And maybe even controling events from Degobah. Degobah was a massive condensation of life and I could see it acting as a sort of conduit for Yoda and the force. A great place to hide and a great place to make his presense felt on other worlds.

I could see the story following a founding member of the rebal alliance. A real sh!t disturber creating massive headaches for the rising empire. A Han Solo type character who grew to found the rebel alliance. A possible explanation as to why the DeathStar took so long to be constructed compared to the second one.

the last rumor i heard was that lucas is also considering re-doing ep. 4, 5, & 6 all in CG.

That's really weird, I'd have said that was just another crazy rumour but they actually said it on TV today here in Malaysia, on their version of Entertainment Tonight. And it wasn't maybe either - they said he was going to start the project 2007. If it's true I'm really not sure it's a good idea... :eek:

Hmm. I don't know about that either. Even though I love all the starwars movies, I watched the Original triology on vhs last spring. It was a little bit shocking how much better they were then ep1 and ep2 in terms of story telling. Some effects were a little hoaky here and there especially when you compare them to the new movies' high tech cgi but it works and the movies were great. I don't know what you could do to Empire...maybe Yoda? I'll have to go back and take a look at him.

I think the problem is that the prequels are more "fancy" then the films which are later on in the time-line. I mean, you probably won't see Cameron go back and redo Terminator1 to bring it up to T2 level because the history is correct. It's natural for originals to not be as technically sophisticated as their sequels...but when the originals are the sequels?

I could see some greatness in an all CG A New Hope, but what kind of changes would he make? That would be the problem for me.

However, Darth Vader and Luke fighting real light saber battles would be bad ass. But if you put Jabba in it, dont make him a wincing moron like he did in the special edition.

That said, if everything will be exaggerated for CG. And the right points are exaggerated from a story telling standpoint id love to see it. I mean the chewbacca could be a lot bigger and some of the creatures could have an updated, non-bipedal form since chances are most life in the universe is not bipedal.

Nemoid

05-30-2005, 01:06 PM

a full CG star wars is a baad idea. yes , it could enhance technologically the approach to createperfectly acting cg human beings, but its too early, and also the story has been told yet. i'd prefer a sequel trylogy to the original one, with an older mark hammill and Han solo, and new chars to be added. even if vader has died this doesn't mean a new evil enemy couldn't be found.
i liked the look of Darth Maul, for example, and i found Lucas didn't exploit him in his full potential. he dies too early. i wouldn't make him die at all. only disappear for awhile.

While I'm a big fan of the OT and enjoyed the PT to a lesser extent, I think redoing OT in CG is a vain and pointless endeavor. What's the fascination of creating a hyper-real human CG character? Honestly, I think humans are hyper-real enough and they do a pretty good job.

I'd like to see something entirely new, new characters new cast, a complete seperation from the initial six movies. As we all know the characters are great and there are vivid connections between most of the characters in the now completed saga. The Star Wars movies in my opinion is larger than any of the characters. So to start fresh with a new story, maybe not completely new, I mean there are tons of great authors who have written great novels that were set in the star wars universe. So imo a new beginning in relation to characters and the jedi order and the sith sith would be a worthwhile risk. :)

they could steal the west wing script and do a series on the politics of starwars

or what about taking the freinds scripts and having a bunch of wookies all living next door to each other

or taking the cheers scripts and setting it in the cantina

The way George Lucas keeps fiddling with his original Star Wars movies makes me think he has some sort of obsessive compulsive disorder on the order of Howard Hughes. Of course, he knows that anything he creates relating to Star Wars will continue to make a fortune. Howard Hughes was also a genius business man even up to the end when he was sitting naked in a darkened hotel room having servants feed him with rubber gloves.

I thought George had declared he was now leaving Star Wars behind to pursue "small experimental art films" and that he had "earned the right to fail". Yeah right. With all do respect to the talented people who created the visual effects for the new movies - George has made the Star Wars franchise into a lifeless videogame. He won't stop sucking on it until it is no longer profitable. It is quite sad for fans of the classic trilogy. Of course that is just my opinion. Anyone who actually enjoyed the prequals is entitled to theirs.

NanoGator

05-31-2005, 03:30 AM

Why doesn't he leave us alone? Everything he did in his whole director life was Star Wars, why doesn't he make something else? Not trying to bash anyone, i actually liked SW, but making another prequel sounds like squeezing every single thing from the original story for the sake of it (and of the money).

I didn't like 1, 2, and 3. I don't think a new movie would be any better. However, I also know that a lot of people DO like what he's doing. It isn't my place to say others can't have something they want, especially when all I have the option of not watching it.

ThirdEye

05-31-2005, 10:08 AM

all I have the option of not watching it.

My point is i want to watch somethign different from him. 1 and 2 were terrible, 3 was better but still not a masterpiece, and i fear he wouldn't come with anything better if he kept dedicating to the saga. Because so far it sounds like Metallica releasing Load and then Reload (and i hope they didn't make a Re-reload, i didn't bother checking).

tdamcbigity

05-31-2005, 10:14 AM

Ummm... I have the Wire Magazine where Lucas actually talks about re-releasing Episodes 4, 5 and 6 as 3D movies, not CG, like 3D with glasses and stuff, Captain Neo ala Disney Land kind of glory magic powers, make your eyes and facial muscles melt off your face. But I could be wrong, he has the power to change his mind whenever he wants.

Oh well.

If he makes anymore prequels then he'll REALLY confuse the older people out there who were already confused enough that Anakin was not Luke.

06-01-2005, 01:08 PM

I'm all for it! I'd love to see SW set in it's golden age, thousands of years before teh original or prequal. You could do teh the evetns of SWKOTOR with Revan and Malak, or write a whole new story. That's what I think would be great, let this SW rest in peace, it was a fantastic adventure and really enjoyable, but lets expand the universe some. There's also a book called , "Shadows of the Empire" (I believe) that was just an incredible read and would make the transition to film well. It's in the curretn universe though, so it would be difficult. I would be happy for another one or two films, see them al twice too, I'm sure, and after all the money I gave to Lucas over the last 30 years, it would be nice to get a treat like that. http://cgtalk.com/images/smilies/grin.gif

Damn, I dunno about redoing something that came out so good. Dubbing audio over a CG movie? At least I'd be sitting there comparing it against the original the entire time.

I thought "Golden Age of the Sith" was a cool comic series. I think that would make a brilliant mini-series...yet to read "Fall of the Sith Empire", though. Any good?

Who's to say he didn't just disappear...? He never actually died...

Also, I read in a comicbook about 10 years ago that there was a film series on Shadows of the Empire... it aired on TV like in October 1993 or something like that... I think I still have the comic book.... I almost specifically remember seeing something about a miniseries about it, but I never really looked into it. Anyone heard about this?

Nemoid

06-08-2005, 11:30 PM

sure. but he never reappeared in the other 2 chapters and also future emperor Palpatine ( Darth Sidious) says he needs another apprentice much more powerful than the others. and he found many years before this apprentice in Anakin.

IMO Darth Maul was perfect in his look. a pure devil, and so a prefect enemy. he was also very silent, wich is a good thing. unfortunately, he should have been more dangerous and hard to beat than what is showed in Ep I
As i said i'd be so pleased to see a sequel trilogy. we have a mature Mark Hammill now, wich has a great look, and is more fascinating than when he was young. we have Harrison Ford the great wich became a fantastic actor and could make a great performance in a matured Han solo, with his irony.
all the rest have to be created, since even jabba has died. but a story maybe following Luke in his attempt to refound the Jedi council to fight a huge menace could work very well IMO.

"Who's to say he didn't just disappear...? He never actually died..."

The dude was sliced in half by a light saber. Dead.

Shadows of the Empire was only a multi-media project, but no film or series of any kind. However, if you read the graphic novel, the forward host has the thought of asking George if they could make Shadows in animation...but it never came to be. A damn crime if you ask me!
