6 Foot Invisible Rabbit Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 I think they should concentrate on original new stories in movies instead of making sequel after sequel or worse, more prequels. Harvey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surreptishus Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 I wouldn't mind another SW film in principle but it should blatantly fly in the face of the EU crap just to annoy people who whine about canon and stuff. Also instead of being in the SW universe it would be in the Firefly universe and the characters wouldn'y be teh SW chracters, they would be Malcolm Reynolds and company.

Plano Skywalker Posted March 6, 2006 Author Share Posted March 6, 2006 KOTOR is EU. so is anything past the movies or before the movies. I think LFL likes to keep a clear line of demarkation between EU and "canon". that is one reason I suspect any new films would be in (was is now) the movie era. however, that doesn't mean we can't have entire films that take place on one planet or one system....movies don't have to advance the plot in real time to be effective. in other words, film A and film B happen simultaneously in terms of the overaching story.

LoneWolf16 Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 I'd like dialogue that didn't seem like it was written by a neurologically impaired 4-year-old. And I'd like the movie to make sense in the setting it's in. Jedi flip around, flinging their sabers about and generally owning everything, but get a half-dozen armored soldiers who can't aim worth a **** and they just seem to want to leap right into those blaster bolts. And what the hell was with the whole "you can't win...I have the high ground" bit? For that matter, why didn't both of them erupt into flames, or even break a sweat when they got that close to flaming hot lava. I had thought that some of nature's journeymen had made men and not made them well, for they imitated humanity so abominably. - Book of Counted Sorrows 'Cause I won't know the man that kills me and I don't know these men I kill but we all wind up on the same side 'cause ain't none of us doin' god's will. - Everlast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

astr0creep Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 I agree with the poster who said they want to see movies with Thrawn. that would be pro.. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> That would be Episodes 7-8-9. Based on T. Zahn's books. I would prefer something entirely original, with little to no references to the known STAR WARS universe. New species, new planets, new characters, etc that have only either witnessed and/or been victim to the events of the movies. http://entertainmentandbeyond.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mind you, he thinks the new B Galactica is really good but that Firefly is better. Firefly, of course, was cancelled after 1 season and the writers produced the movie Serenity which follows the same story (I guess). I have not seen any episode of Firefly nor have I yet seen Serenity but I hope to remedy that soon enough (I'll probably end up buying Firefly on DVD).

RevanRedefined Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 I personally Lucas is lying when he said Star Wars was always about Anakin. I doubt that was his original plan. Luke was made to be way too big of a character for it to be about Anakin and his fall. If it was, they wouldn't have focused on Obi-Wan's quest to turn Luke into a Jedi, but Vader's plot to bring him to the dark side. The truth is 4-5-6 was about Luke no doubt. And they decided to turn it about Anakin in 1-2-3, which was a good idea. That's merely my personal opinion. If you want a movie that goes in more depth about Vader, they should make the old Shadows of the Empire game into a movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plano Skywalker Posted March 6, 2006 Author Share Posted March 6, 2006 well, I read that one of the early, early drafts from Lucas had Mace Windu as the primary character...he was a spice smuggler....basically, Han and Luke rolled into one. I think the main reason they went with 4,5, and 6 first is that the other ones were so anti-war in the context of when they would be released.

RevanRedefined Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 ****in 'nam. Those charlies ruined everything! No, I liked how everything turned out. I'm glad they did the first 3 last. I don't think they could've made Vader's scene at the end of Episode 3 so dramatic without current technology. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveThaiBinh Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 Besides, if there is to be a tv-show in that era, then I'd prefer to have no movies set there, since they would likely clash with each other. I don't know when the TV series will be set, but I imagine that any further movies would use the characters from the series, in the Star Trek mold. I'm not saying that's what I want to happen, but I suppose it makes marketing sense to use the one to promote the other rather than sustain two independent stories. I'm really not interested in learning anything more about the characters and times of the original movies. I'd quite like something from the very beginnings of the Jedi and the Republic.

First was Anakin, 2nd was Luke and Leia, 3rd should be Luke and Leia's kids. Or at least focus on one of their children. The area between the balls and the butt is a hotbed of terrorist activity.

He didn't. He sketched out an opera of (six or) nine parts, then chose the second three as the interesting series (because that's when the baddies gain an upper hand and threaten to overwelm the goodies in ALL formulaic plots), then fleshed out the first story as a film because it was the most interesting plot. He never expected the first film to be successful, so he only wrote it as a single film. Afterwards, he added the other two films in the trilogy (with varying success), one at a time. When he poured all his net worth into The Empire Strikes Back, he was betting everything on red in the casino of life: he came away from the roulette table with more money than he could spend. I think the main reason they went with 4,5, and 6 first is that the other ones were so anti-war in the context of when they would be released. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> The prequel trilogy was just made up on the spot to retro-fit into the existing trilogy. When he wrote Star Wars (later renamed to A New Hope), the "clone wars" were just a neat-sounding name for some historical event. GL gave the prequels their flavour based on his own whims during his writing of them, twenty years after the first series.

metadigital Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 If he did it due to good foresight, or just because he couldn't afford to be the control freak he subsequently has become? Good question ... as he had a different script writer and director, maybe it was the former. Pity he didn't do it more often, though.
