An Even Longer Longer Time Ago In A Galaxy Just As Far Away'

hahahahahahaha What a joke! by doobieflixx	May 27th, 2005 10:41:34 AM

Hey Doob, you were first and didn't claim it? by Samuel Steamer	May 27th, 2005 10:42:07 AM

Nope. by doobieflixx	May 27th, 2005 10:45:48 AM
This rumor is obviously BS. Unless this is where he is taking the supposed TV show. And if that's the case they better be careful not to turn Yoda into Jar Jar. I remember hearing once that they wanted to make Yoda fart in episode 2? Was that a fact anyone? Well if it was, you can pretty much count on it happening on the show. But truely, this rumor has got to be crap! Better be.
I want to see Palpatine's Origins by jorson2	May 27th, 2005 10:49:29 AM
The Yoda thing could be fun, but I want to know where Palpatine came from, other than assuming he came from Naboo. Strange place to find a Sith Lord, no? I want to see him trained by, and then killing, Darth Plaguis the Wise. Give us a movie devoted to the dark side. "Episode III" is almost that movie anyway. Why not go FULL FORCE? :)
Can I sleep through this one too? by 0101010	May 27th, 2005 10:51:20 AM
Having spent the majority of Revenge of the Sith asleep (let me tell you how a cold grip surrounded my childhood at the realization that the movie had actually, not... held... my... interest), I think the story, such as it is, has been told. Dear god, no more please.

Somebody saw George on vacation and made small talk with him and asked him what era of Star Wars held the most interest for him for a film and George suprised him by saying it would be the era where the Jedi's defeated the Sith when Yoda was young. That's all. Not exactly something written in stone. Also, George said that Star Wars will never end. All the stuff was small talk and not to be taken as gospel.

The hitch... by RenoNevada2000	May 27th, 2005 11:22:03 AM
The hitch to all this would be if Lucas can pull it off. I for one don't want to have to sit through another two failed attempts before he gets fairly close...
I love Star Wars by JediStryker	May 27th, 2005 11:29:17 AM
but it is complete now. The prequels have been an exercise for me, a mind-numbing test to see how I can force myself to like them and fit them into the classic movies that I love from childhood. BTW, Harry, this email outage has been a pain in the fucking ass! I have work contacts who send me emails everyday, and when that shit went out yesterday I nearly had a brain hemorrhage. From Austin to San Antonio...damn bastards!

Daily Star has NO Credibility in UK by John-Locke	May 27th, 2005 11:47:44 AM
It's basically tit's and football. I'll believe this when I see proof.
no more wars, eh, George? by emeraldboy	May 27th, 2005 11:51:02 AM
Well I dont know. I think what will transpire is this. With the prediction that Sith will fail at the box office wide of the mark, I think Fox will make more but with george doing what he did with Return of the jedi and ESB, he will write and exec produce but to quote yoda: Star wars. Direct. he will not. and in 20 years. Here is another prediction, Spielberg and Lucas are apart from being filmmakers are friends, Speilberg did act on as a consultant on sith in a technical capacity. Lucas may ask spielberg to direct a star wars prequel, the deal will be though that Spielberg will not touch the screenplay but may add his own ideas. None of the above may happen. After seeing the film my cousin who himself a animation film producer, said that while he liked the movie he didnt want to see it again. For me the screenplay and the dialogue destroyed the movie but I the action and the visual look of the movie were outstanding. Ian McDiarmid is the only actor worth seeing.
Technically Speaking... by metron	May 27th, 2005 11:51:53 AM
Since the universe is expaning, an even longer time ago, the SW galaxy would have been somewhat LESS far away.
Load of muck! by antifyre	May 27th, 2005 11:58:41 AM
The English Tabloids are forever 'inventing' these stories, as then if they come true,or if they are put into production, they can claim they were the instigators/first to bring it to the public......
Blech by Dick Fitzwell	May 27th, 2005 12:00:55 PM
If he really was thinking of another flick, my vote is for one after ROTJ with Marc Hamill reprising his role as Luke 30 years later as head of the new Jedi Council rebuilding and training with perhaps a rogue Sith running around to be dealt with. A clone of his father perhaps?
Great job, George... and now its over. by darth kubrick	May 27th, 2005 12:10:25 PM
TV sucks. Hasn't anyone learned from THESE prequels. We don't need anymore prequels. And no TV series. Let it die. Let it be over. Please.
Yoda: The College Years by GreatWhiteNoise	May 27th, 2005 12:12:40 PM
Turns out Darth Plagueis the Wise was his dorm roomie before he joined a Sith frat. Then young prodigy Dooku Howser comes along, and hilarity ensues... ehh. Would rather see 7-8-9.
And I'm sure there's a very good and obvious reason for this, bu by GreatWhiteNoise	May 27th, 2005 12:15:10 PM
...can someone let me in on why we've never seen another being of Yoda's species anywhere in the films to date? What have I missed here?
In this prequel, Yoda would encounter his Dark Side counterpart: by oceansized	May 27th, 2005 12:16:47 PM

Maybe a VII, VIII and IX, but that's 15-20 years down the road.
There will definitely be more movies!! by payton 34	May 27th, 2005 12:37:02 PM
The Star Wars property is worth way to much for the movies to stop now. I highly doubt GL will direct them though.
Would Yoda be... by Childe Roland	May 27th, 2005 12:41:07 PM
...taller when he was younger? I'm just assuming he kept sjrinking and his ears kept growing, like most old farts I know, over the course of his 900-year deterioration (and that last 20 years was clearly the hardest on him... he was doddering by the time ESB rolled around and had been a hopping mad little green fighting monkey in Clones and Sith). Anyway, I'd be curious to see a non-puppet, non-CGI Yodau played by a ripped-yet-proportionate midget. He could still speak in that fractured sentece structure of his and they could dub in the voice, but I think it would be cool to see a Gelfling-like Yoda kicking some ass in his pre-cane days. Just so long as George lets someone else do the heavy creative lifting (the few entertaining portions of Sith were a welcome throwback to his pre ROTJ genius, but were barely enough to make that last film not bad, let alone redeem the entire prequel trilogy). "With Lawrence Kasdan, I must work," says Gelfling Yoda. "Only through his vision, know the true power of the Force, the Sith will."
Ah, The Daily Star... by MotokoJTW	May 27th, 2005 12:45:59 PM
What a fine publishing institution it is. NOT. Don't trust this one guys. If there was ever, any possiblity that George was even considering doing this, The Star would be the absolute last people to find out. Right now they're too busy trying to get naked pictures of Charlotte Church and gearing up for the inescapable Big Brother coverage that's about to rain down on us in England (I can't believe that show is getting ANOTHER series, haven't people wised up to it yet?) to have any idea what The Beard is tinkering about with. To be fair, though, if George was thinking about this, can we really be surprised? He loves going back in time to find the 'roots' of his characters. We've already had one hugge trilogy just to explain Darth Vader. We had several episodes of Young Indiana Jones. He can't seem to help himself. Yoda's the wrong character though. He has to remain this eternally wise and scholarly little green frog, teaching younglings the ways of the force. Do we want to see who taught Yoda? No, Yoda is cool enough on his own terms, we don't need to see him even smaller than he is already. Qui Gon Jin? That could work. An itty, bitty Obi-Wan? Perhaps but also maybe too cute. Mace Windu, even. Lets see how a completely obvious cool as ice badass turned into the most self-centered, smug, jackass he became. Whatever happens, I still think this is a bad idea. Were the Star Fleet Academy books anygood? Are the new James Bond books worth being movies. I don't think so.

The Daily Star isn't even regarded as a real newspaper over here anyway.
Yeah, Yoda played by a midget by The Heathen	May 27th, 2005 01:13:51 PM
"Yoda played by a ripped-yet-proportionate midget." Jesus H Christ you made me laugh with that one. And then, "let someone else do the heavy creative lifting" had me rolling. We need more brilliant ideas like this, I mean with the "heavy creative lifting." IF by chance this movie ever happened it should be a few hundred years before Episode 1 dealing with the Sith Wars or whatever. Would this be the Star Wars version of The Hobbit? No way should they have 'lil Maces or Obi's (cosidering how well children have worked out in Star Wars you know?) Learning more about Palpatine and Darth Plagueis the wise would be cool either in this proposed movie or in the TV series.
Lucas has a great idea? by bluebottle	May 27th, 2005 01:32:06 PM
i hope it's, "i'll hire someone else to direct"... Yeah, up here... c'mon. high five.
The Daily Star is one of this countries poorest "news" papers by DrLektor	May 27th, 2005 01:32:31 PM
Problem is, the Ki-Adi-Mundi line in Phantom Menace, "Impossible, the Sith have been extinct for a millenia" throws that prequel to a prequel shit out of the window. Unless Yoda is even older than he says or a millenia in the SW universe is a heck of a lot shorter. Though it would be nice to see a Knights of the Old Republic movie, based on the Qel Droma / Sunrider stories

Not if anything to say about it I have! by performingmonkey	May 27th, 2005 02:10:42 PM
Did anyone else find the Yoda-speak in ROTS just....upsetting and damaging to the character? I'm sure he didn't speak so stupidly in Empire (oh yeah, but George didn't write the dialogue then). A prequel, or prologue, or whatthefuckever you want to call it would probably suck and blow simultaneously. The era should be confined to EU or games. Yoda as the main character would also suck. Frank Oz surely won't do the voice so what's the point.
if they want to make it , i will watch it by d8cam	May 27th, 2005 02:16:47 PM

so i can say once and for all that lucas has turned star wars into a huge steaming pile of cgi shit! fuck lucas...if he does this then he truly is the biggest fuck-tard on the planet! whatever happened to the Yoda that said "wars not make one great."
He wouldn't do it. It screws up his story arc. by ZeroCorpse	May 27th, 2005 02:51:08 PM
The story is NOT about Yoda. Yoda is a symbol of the strict, unflinching beurocracy of the old Republic. The story is about the Skywalkers and the balance of the force, which starts when Anakin is found and ends when Anakin dies.
Hmm by Darth Melkor	May 27th, 2005 03:07:05 PM
Awesome idea, but yeah I dunno if he'd do it. Probably just heresay. What would it be called? Genesis? Episode 0?
Nah. by Ribbons	May 27th, 2005 03:11:46 PM
Sheesh, what is it with these British magazines and their "scoops?" It's like the tabloids over here that talk about Bigfoot babies. Do they just pay people to write fiction? Plus I think Yoda is a cool character just as he is, thankyouverymuch. Don't need to see some sort of vigilante Yoda.
Yeah, right... by moviemaniac-7	May 27th, 2005 03:22:15 PM
Just like that rumor last fall that the VII, VIII and IX would get made. Leave the movies as they are and move on (or go backwards) with graphic novels. Lucas should focus on Indy right now.

Prequel to Prequel? by pmroche	May 27th, 2005 03:37:43 PM
I would rather see what might be regarded as EIIIb, EIIIc, and EIIId, wherein Leia comes of age and has her sexual awakening. Meanwhile, elsewhere in the system, a 19 year old Han Solo is wooing women and barfighting BobaFett. The best SW now would be to avoid all the Jedi Sith stuff and focus on real people doing real people stuff,like wiping their butts and necking
"Let it go Indiana" indeed by 007-11	May 27th, 2005 03:38:02 PM
I was blown away by ROTS. I forgave it for it's stilted performances and bad dialogue and was totally mesmerized by everything else onscreen. There are so many moments in the OT that now have even more of an emotional resonance thanks to ROTS. Having said that I can't take anymore. I don't want pre-prequels or sequels or reimaginings or anything else beyond the TV show they're working on. As a matter of fact I'm not sure I even want to see that all that much. I'm no hardcore fan, but I care enough about it to say that the saga is complete. It's time to let this thing ride off into that twin sunset.
Whatever Happened to Yaddle? by Darth Busey	May 27th, 2005 03:40:48 PM
After she disappeared after TPM, I figured she was Yoda's f-toy, and he got tired of her and sent her back home. Also, how come Yoda's species and home planet is "Unknown"? LFL assigns that stuff for the most minor of characters, but not for Yoda?
a wild bantha chase, for cliff's sake? by JohnYaYa	May 27th, 2005 03:44:24 PM
Best part was when Palpatine transformed into Barnaby from "March of the Wooden Soldiers"
Yaddle for Crack by pmroche	May 27th, 2005 03:46:42 PM
After TPM Yoda sold Yaddle to Wattoo so he'd have money for crack cocaine "death rocks," with which he threw a blowout of an orgy at the Jedi Temple. Wattoo, bored after several seasons' of having his way with Yaddle, sold her to Gunga the Hutt, who ate her.

Indiana should indeed be the focus. by The Heathen	May 27th, 2005 04:10:18 PM
"Well, now I have Indy 4 to look forward to." was the first thing I said after leaving ROTS. Would love for that to happen correctly, got faith in Spielberg. I find it funny how everyone says that Harrison is too old to play Indy (he will never be-he IS Indy) but I haven't heard anyone mention how he would be too old to play Han again if they did do 7,8, & 9 in the next 5-10 years at the latest. I can picture an 80 year old Indy, but not an 80 year old Han. Just my thoughts. Oh, and give up on that lame ass NOOO!!! petition, it wasn't near as bad as anything in Eps 1 or 2. Example: "Yippee!!!" Where is the Yippee petition? (I will now wait until somebody shocks me with a link to the Yippee petition)
Would love to see the early Sith vs. Jedi battles. by jimmy_009	May 27th, 2005 04:25:08 PM
I think it's a great idea for a new trilogy, how the Jedi did away with the Sith (at least for a long while). Go for it! Just have someone else direct them.
Jumped the fuckin' shark by DrLektor	May 27th, 2005 04:29:56 PM
Oh you know what? That post about Yoda's planet being unknown just clinched it. Yoda is the last real star wars mystery isn't he? If this happens we're going to see a planet of the Yoda people. Maybe another trilogy with his pops and the battle against malevolent underwater Sith sponges. It'll echo the 6 movies closely, starring Warrick Davies as Yoda's cranky dad, painted green with stick on ears and voiced by Hulk Hogan.

George... by crackerfarmboy	May 27th, 2005 04:49:25 PM
Just be happy that the 3rd film wasn't as completely dreadful as the first two. Let's call that a small victory and move on with our lives.
by cyberskunk	May 27th, 2005 05:03:37 PM
Thinking of an earlier Yoda makes me think of something I have no particular desire to see, but I'll mention it anyway. Gollum, falling into lava, is whisked away to the Star Wars universe like the teenage boy in 'Heavy Metal' and becomes Yoda instead of Den.
Is Lucas passes it off.... by deucefilms	May 27th, 2005 05:33:10 PM
If Lucas passes the idea off to a director who knows how to work with actors and has a better sense as to what clicks and what doesn't, we could finally get the new Star Wars movie we've been waiting for. As vastly improved as Episode III was over I & II, considering the content, it had the potential to be even better than Empire Strikes Back (which is pretty hard to imagine). I saw that Lucas once wanted Steven Spielberg and/or Ron Howard to direct at least one prequel. Now, Ron Howard would've been a big letdown (he's the current king of underwhelming films). But Spielberg probably could've given us a Star Wars that we would've been happy with. Maybe Lucas could make it really dark & intense and get David Fincher on board?
Ha at Deucefilms by Dannychico	May 27th, 2005 05:49:10 PM
You pleaded for David Fincher. Now this talkback is complete.
Ron Howard, king of underwhelming films? Whatever. by The Heathen	May 27th, 2005 06:01:41 PM
A Beautiful Mind, Apollo 13, Willow, and from what I'm hearing Cinderella Man are all great films. I wasn't underwhelmed at all. I think Howar would have done a great Star Wars film, at least as good as ROTS, but probably better. And I love Fincher as a director, but I've never seen him directing anything Star Wars. And a lot of people have suggested him in their dream directors repeatedly. Spielberg would have knocked a Star Wars movie out of the park, without a fucking doubt.

That's all
SW should stick to movies, not TV by Rupee88	May 27th, 2005 06:04:09 PM
I think the SW TV shows will be lame...production values will be much lower. I'd rather them keep making movies and let other writers and directors handle tales from the SW universe...maybe a new movie every couple of years with big budgets. I guess it won't happen, but it'd be cool. There will still be more SW films for sure, but it may be 5 or 10 or 20 years.
I want a sequel to Return of the Jedi (Bring back Luke,HanLeia) by DARTH VOODOO	May 27th, 2005 06:05:11 PM
If (when) Lucas does another Star Wars film it has to be about Luke,Han and Leia. I don't want another prequel.I want a sequel to Return of the Jedi. I don't care if it's a trilogy or just one film. I want to know how Luke,Han,Leia and Mr Colt 45 himself are doing.
I don't want Star Wars to become a Star Trek franchise by The Heathen	May 27th, 2005 06:15:10 PM
There is a certain danger of this happening with the TV shows, but I'm not worried because we've seen how great Tartofsky's (?) Clone Wars was and I seriously doubt the live action show will have a "UPN" budget. Lucas will fund that shit, don't worry. I feel Star Wars has something more "special" than anything Star Trek has ever put out. Something magical like the force I guess. If we have a total of 9 or more movies with numerous TV series, I'm worried about losing that special quality or a sense of continuity throughout. For instance, Terminator 3 is in nooo way imo related to anything having to do with T1 or T2. I don't want to have to burn my eyes and memory of anything Star Wars related

Star Wars wasn't an Orson Wells epic. It wasn't a Copolla epic. None of the movies have ever been high art. To the people complaining about the movies not being as good as they should have been -- If you know that much about making movies, why aren't you in Hollywood? You know exactly what the paying audience (except fot those who've spent $400,000,000 so far) wants to see, so let's have it! Give us the sci-fi epic that only you can produce. If not, shut the fuck up and be thankful that there are people who know what they're doing making movies.

means its bullshit ( our newspapers contain the best fiction in the world ) Still, would be good to see, that, and the promised VII,VIII IX sequels. Yeah, people will moan, say they are shite, like the prequels, but you can bet your arse they will all still line up in cinema's, wetting their pants waitng to see them, just like I, II, & III. Could have been worse, GL could have sodded the prequels and left it incomplete.

Harry is a sense-offender! (but ROTS owns) by fanb0y	May 27th, 2005 08:41:06 PM
I thought up this little ditty in response to the underlying tension on AICN since ROTS came out, and it brought to mind a good scene from Equilibrium possibly the coolest movie ever (followed closely by ROTS) anywhere here goes ////////////////////////////// //father voice from end of Equilibrium Father: Lucas's job with EP1 and 2 was simple, to make you haters feel like you'd won. To make you feel safe. For years, I'd tried to infiltrate a pro-SW fanboy into the talkback, untill it hit me, in order to pass undetected into their midst, in order to be trusted by them, my provacateur would have to think, like them, would have to nitpick like them.

A sad, but true fact. by one9deuce	May 27th, 2005 09:59:33 PM
George Lucas hasn't had an original idea since I was born in 1972. He made his Experimental film. He made his 50's Nostalgia film. He made his Flash Gordon/Space Fantasy film. And he had someone make his Treasure Hunter/Adventurer film. That is it. All of these ideas had their genesis before he had directed THX-1138. He has flogged them, and flogged them for over 30 years. This talkback is discussing even more Star Wars features. SIX weren't enough? There might be an Indiana Jones 4? I'm sorry fanboys, but he peaked in 1981 with the release of Raiders of the Lost Ark.

That was horrible... except maybe for that one red droid DX-91... although I am still trying to find out who the actress that was supposed to be the voice of the droid. If I remember right, it was that co-star of Murphy Brown... not Candice Bergman, but that younger woman.

Actually, I can explain this in a VERY rational way if everyone by TooMuchFreeTime	May 28th, 2005 01:10:25 AM
You know, I'm 30, and I don't believe everything I read. Yet I assume, simply by the posts above, that most of you are either younger than I am, or do believe everything you read, or both. Or neither, who cares really. However, let's keep one thing clear here folks: Lucas is a guy who surrounded himself with smart people who believed in his ideas and were willing to work like hell to support him. He's made some decent stuff, but he's also made some bad stuff. Yet, as I've said before, all that matters is that he's worth $3BILLION and everyone who visits this site COMBINED isn't worth that, times 1000. But enough about that...here's the real explanation: based on what I've read about Lucas' previous comments over the years, this sounds reasonable to me. Why? First, it's a kooky idea, similar to the comments he made in the A&E Star Wars special I watched last Friday, wherein Lucas said while he was making "Star Wars" (ie: A New Hope), he shot each scene three to four times, and then shot one additional take...AS A COMEDY TAKE, because he wanted to release "Star Wars" first as a true sci-fi opera, and then AS A COMEDY. NOT A JOKE. Check out the A&E special! He said he canned the idea as he ran out of money making the movie. Thank God 20th Century Fox was so cheap! Additionally, I read in an OLD interview with George (from 1995) that he originally conceived "Star Wars" as a movie cast entirely with MIDGETS...DWARVES...LITTLE PEOPLE...whatever you want to call them, George wanted EVERY cast member to be a midget. I'm not joking folks, not one bit. Don't forget, this is the guy who wanted Jodie Foster for Princess Leia, Walter Mattau for Obi-Wan, and more. He's a kook! So is a movie where the primary role is played by a CGI character. That's the second point: Lucas was so shocked when people hated Jar Jar, nay when kids hated Jar Jar, because he viewed Jar Jar less as a racial slur and more of a triumph of technology: Jar Jar was the first FULLY realized 100% digital character, which of course he thought was brilliant, and no one else in the solar system agreed with him, sans Lucas lapdog Rick McCallum of course. Thirdly, does anyone know who Gary Kurtz is? Well ol' Gary was on the A&E special, and Gary explains why him and George had a falling out just after Empire concluded, rather, as it was filming...Seems ol' George had wanted to turn Vader into Luke's dad and create a second Skywalker, whereas originally Luke was an only child and indeed Vader did kill Luke's dad. Well Gary and him argued quite a bit, and then Lucas sent him off on his merry empty-pockets way. Yet, Gary admitted in the A&E special that the ORIGINAL first draft for Episode I told the story of how the Jedi destroyed the Sith, established the Republic, and brought peace to the galaxy. It really was an "in the beginning" kind of story, and sounds suspiciously like what Lucas may be considering as a first movie these days. Perhaps due to the utter failure TPM was from a story birth perspective or perhaps due to the CASH COW Star Wars is, either way, it's at least somewhat believable. Finally, for those of you who read the original Star Wars movie adaptation novel, it explains that it's "The Adventures of Luke Skywalker (Starkiller) from the Journal of the Whills." Did you ever wonder who or what is a Whill? If so, and you don't know, a Whill is the race of beings YODA is a part of. I suspect they are perhaps Jedi historians of some sort in Lucas' mind, and thus having a movie centered around the creation of the movie's modern Jedi order with Yoda and the Whills at the helm makes sense from George's perspective. Don't forget as well that ALL Star Wars movies, books, video games, comics, short stories, cartoons, and any other kind of media, EXCEPT FOR the book that tells the immediate backstory to TPM must start no earlier than 4,000 years before the timeline TPM is on! So obviously Lucas protected himself enough to make this work. Ultimately I think it's a sham, although it was on Cinescape and other web sources, versions of the story have changed somewhat, but the only thing that's constant is Star Wars makes MONEY and Lucas loves money, so if you're a pragmatist about this, and not a fanboy or a hater, you'll see that it makes sense purely from an economic perspective, which is all that counts anyway. It's on that very point I opened this discussion, and it's on this very point that I will close.

The SW Film Franchise is Not Over by CompleatGeek	May 28th, 2005 09:44:56 AM
It never will be over, as long as they make money. Star Trek:Nemesis didn't even break even, and they're already prepping the next movie. With the kind of numbers that Star Wars movies bring down, the series will never end. After all, everybody loves money. And if you get a decent pack of creative types to make it and relagate Lucas to the ExProd role, he might even get an Oscar for a really good Star Wars movie. Stranger things have happened.

MESSA LUVED ROTS. I am writing MY version of the Star Wars TV sh by IAmJack'sUserID	May 28th, 2005 10:28:28 AM
...two friends who are seperated by political affiliation. One wants to join the Empire and the other wants to join the rebellious factions. Speaking of factions, there are several that have risen up against the Empire. If you notice, it becomes an 'alliance' later on. My script would involve someone attempting to unite the factions into one cohesive unit. I am also toying with the idea of including a Jedi so we can have some awesome lightsaber duels later on. Of course, he would have to die. My idea is better on paper than what I have described. I am way hung over so I probably don't make any sense.
sorry righteoudbrother, it's going to happen.... by payton 34	May 28th, 2005 10:31:54 AM
and the fact that it is going to happen has nothing to do with this article. Star Wars is a huge money making corporation and you actually expect GL to not continue that. It would be the equivelaent of Bill Gates not making anymore computers. He's already making a tv series, and just like Star Trek, he'll spin those charcters off into movies. I hope you like crow.
Trevor Goodchild by Ribbons	May 28th, 2005 10:40:27 AM
The Walken thing is true. Now I saw an "SNL" skit where Kevin Spacey pretended to be Christopher Walken pretending to be Han Solo, and in that skit they also claimed that Walter Mathau auditioned for the role of Obi-Wan Kenobi. That's probably not true and was just there because Spacey can do an okay Walter Mathau impersonation, but I figured I'd throw that out there anyway. That's as far as my knowledge of Casting Neverhappeneds goes. And listen to RighteousBrother: this story is not true. Stop arguing over whether or not it'd be a good idea. Which it wouldn't.
Yes, we all know Lucas likes the money by Ribbons	May 28th, 2005 10:43:37 AM
But he's more likely to do another "triogy" than do a single prequel to the prequels following Yoda "kicking ass" across the galaxy. I'm sure he's never even had that idea, and I sure as hell doubt that he's now gonna set himself to making it just because some guy hyped the rumor in the Daily Star. I also think we overestimate just how much he wants more money.
casting neverhappeneds by Colonel_Blimp	May 28th, 2005 10:54:49 AM
Nick Nolte auditioned for Luke Skywalker. Believe it or not. Amy Irwing for Leia. A black actor was cast as Han Solo at one point but fox went with a caucasian as they figured an interracial romance would steal focus. And Lucas originally wanted Toshiro Mifune (the 7th of the 7 Samurai) as OB1. Don't know why that didn't work out though. Maybe Fox wanted someone more familiar to a western audience. IAmJack'sUserID, that doesn't sound all bad. I personally would love to see a series on the forming of the rebellion etc in the vein of good old ww2 movies. How young Mon Mothma, Bail Organa, Admiral Ackbar (first name Raymond) and Jan Dodonna (old man at briefing in ANH) form the alliance. A dose of politics and human intrigue seasoned with some kickass guerilla warfare. Or something that captures the mood of the old xwing PC game. That rocked.

I'm envious of anyone who can do a Christopher Walken impression. That casting rumor was true. The only other one I know of is Shirley from Laverne and Shirley was going to be Liea. Wouldn't have looked as good in the metal bikini. As for this movie rumor, it's bullshit. And if Lucas was as obsessed with money as eevryone on this site says, why didn't he make a SW movie in 1986? '89? '92? '95? He could have made twice as much money but he wasn't happy with the technology. I don't get why everyone's so obsessed with Lucas' money anyway. At least he uses it to improve the industry. Why isn't anyone deriding the chick who makes those Godawlful Harry Potter films seamingly every 6 months, using the technology Lucas and his companies created?

Yeah, Blimp, yer right on the money. Those X-Wing games were awesome. So where the TIE Fighter games. Really captured the spirit of Star Wars. I find myself humming some of the score occasionally. You listed some good people. Maybe even show the rise/story of Admiral Piett, Chief Bast, Moff Jerjerrod, and even Tarkin or some of the guys in the Empire I can't think of right now. There is ALOT of story potential there.

Masters of the Universe is probably the only movie that I thought was great when I was younger that I now realize is a complete turd. Speaking of which, you could have Gwildor accompany the "ripped-yet-proportionate" Yoda. Sorry krullboy but Hank the Angry Drunken Dwarf is dead. Lucky for you though he learned how to become one-with-the-bottle and communicates to Yoda in booze form whenever he's trashed and spanking Yaddle.
BAD IDEA - Y NOT JUST MAKE EPISODES 7, 8, AN 9? by bushsux	May 28th, 2005 12:57:05 PM
The books for 7, 8 and 9 have already been written. Heir To The Empire, Dark Force Rising and The Last Command. Why not just make those? But, lest you say the actors are all too old now? That's okay, just make the movies 100% CGI and just use the actors' voices via the Final Fantasy movie. You can still see Admiral Thrawn battle it out with Luke and Leia having Han Solo's children.

That if the currently planned TV show is successful it is possible to have other shows in the future that take place in many different points in time. this was in response to a question about the possibility for a knights of the old republic show. Lucas also says he is prepping the new show and then turning it over to someone else. To me this marks a big change in Lucas, in the past he has said that "Star Wars is my thing" This was in response to people asking if he would ever turn over the reins to others for star wars films. With his new open attitude about Star wars don't be surprised if a new project is announced in a few years. I doubt he will ever let anyone else do anything with the major characters though so more prequels are likely.

Mugato by one9deuce	May 28th, 2005 06:05:57 PM
The reason that Lucas didn't make any Star Wars films until 1999 isn't because he was "waiting for the technology to improve". That is his standard BS stock quote. The real reason is because as part of his divorce settlement from Marcia Lucas in 1983, she would have been entitled to a percentage of the profits from any new Star Wars films for a set period of time. Face facts people, George Lucas isn't a filmmaker anymore, and he hasn't been since the beginning of the 80's. He is a corporation, and a businessman. He is interested in making money, not films. I love when he says that he can finally get to back to his "experimental films". That is not going to happen. He not only has the most creative freedom any one person has ever had in the history of cinema, or probably ever will, but he has had it since 1977. 28 years isn't enough time to make some of those "experimental films"? All this leads to the fact that there will be more Star Wars films, period. They make money. It is unavoidable, it is destiny.

Technically only the movies count but being starved of information we have the expanded universe and a wealth of novels and comics. Start with the Dark Horse TPB's of the Sith wars and the Ulic Qel-Droma saga then lose yourself in everything from Han Solo's adventures to the quite excellent (no matter what one disgruntled talkbacker says) Thrawn books.
Budgets and crap by matthooper8	May 28th, 2005 07:34:22 PM
You know what's funny. Even the lovers of the prequels must agree with this even if just to themselves. Take away the effects/CGI from the prequels and you have nothing. You can't argue the bad acting (besides Ewan and most of Mcdiarmond's work), and an underwhelming story. The mark of a good filmmaker is storytelling. If you honestly think that the prequels are good story telling, I think it's pointless to argue. So why are we discussing this? If it's true, we'll get more crap movies to discuss, if it's not true, half of us will be dissapointed the other half won't care. There is no way in hell Lucas makes more Star Wars. Because of the fairly positive press for ROTS he ends on a bit of a high note after getting crucified by the mainstream for the first two pieces of shit. He is done with his baby.
All you need to do ... by DarkBastion	May 28th, 2005 07:38:18 PM
... is hire the writers and SW "researchers" from BioWare and Obsidian (KotOR/KotOR II). Set the show in that timeline. You'd have a powerful Republic and Jedi presence, but enough instability (Sith, Mandelorians, unsettled parts of the galaxy, etc.) to keep everything interesting.
Oh yeah, and why ... by DarkBastion	May 28th, 2005 07:51:24 PM
Why does Lucas consider Star Wars his baby when he provided only the story ideas for ESB and RotJ, and let Kershner and Marquand direct them (respectivly)? And he has the gall to release "special edition directors cuts" of these movies he didn't even direct! What a hack. Lucas got lucky with ANH; we've seen what he's really like behind the camera with the shitty prequels (even RotS).
Mugato by one9deuce	May 28th, 2005 07:52:49 PM
Sorry I guess his wife is only part of why, I should have elaborated. He also hates Star Wars. And hates the fanboys associated with Star Wars. Sorry, but that is fact. Fortunately for those that love anything with a starship, lightsabre, or blaster, George loves money more than he hates Star Wars. Hence the new television show. Sorry, shows. And the future feature films. I am a bit tired of the "waiting for technology" line. The SFX in the very first shot of the very first movie are as good as anything in the Prequel Trilogy. In 30 years when CGI is so good that it's impossible to tell the difference between real and computer imagery, the Prequel Trilogy will look like a cartoon. Even more than it already does. But the Original Trilogy will still look awesome. The Millennium Falcon will look totally real still because it WAS totally real. They actually built it on a set. The Death Star interior will still look real because it was real. You get the idea. Not to mention the fact that the PT is totally lacking a descent storyline, good characters, interesting dialogue, or even passable direction and you will see that the PT won't even feel like it belongs with the OT.

I agree 192% with one9deuce and his posts maked Mugato. by Regicidal_Maniac	May 28th, 2005 08:39:09 PM
And I do this in all confidence because he is absolutely correct. The OT will forever outshine the PT in everyway that a real film can outshine a cynical marketing exercise. The OT are a trilogy of films with heart and that's why we love them. Whereas the PT is merely ILM's showreel intended to advertise their current capabilities, and nothing more.
Then I suppose we must agree to disagree. by Mugato	May 28th, 2005 09:42:03 PM
In 1977 Lucas said that ANH (then called simply Star Wars) was 25% of what he wanted, even though with it he invented FX technology like computer controlled cameras. He said that he only decided to do the prequels after Jurrassic Park displayed the kind of FX he had in mind originally. I also have to disagree that the prequels have less of a story than he original trilogy. Palpatine's Machiavellian rise to power, the conspiracy with the clones, Anakin's rise and fall, the nature of the failure of the Jedi, how did the original trilogy have more story than that?

Mugato, you at least sound level headed. by one9deuce	May 29th, 2005 12:06:35 AM
I know what Lucas has said, but he isn't being honest with himself or anyone else. Star Wars was a quantum leap in SFX, and he got more than he ever could have hoped for out of the newly formed ILM. He brings up the Jabba the Hutt scene from Star Wars as an example of how limiting FX were at the time, but the CGI Jabba for the 1997 Special Editions looks horrible. And the CGI Jabba update on the 2004 DVD doesn't look that great either. Lucas saying that he got 25% of what he wanted is ridiculous. As far as the Prequel Trilogy storyline you are right with the examples you mentioned. The PT should have been great with those interesting and dramatic ideas. Unfortunately it's more like a great joke told by someone who doesn't tell jokes very well.

I love money. YOU love money. EVERYBODY on this fucking planet loves money. Only a retarded cunt would use "so-and-so loves money" as an insult. You just resent Lucas because he has an unlimited supply of it and you can't even afford to buy a new headlight for your piece of shit 1984 Ford Fairmont. Loathe his movies all you want, but he's a genius at getting you to hand over your cash.
Yeah Liberty Valance, we all love money. by one9deuce	May 29th, 2005 03:32:49 AM
But some people are greedier than others. Some people are more miserly with their money. George Lucas wrote and directed these new Star Wars himself because he is too cheap to hire top notch talent. He used a television crew from The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles for the prequels because he is too cheap to hire the best. The Prequel Trilogy wasn't cheap to make, but he only spent the money on FX as a show reel for ILM so they could make more money. The Prequel Trilogy was made with maximum cost to profitability for Lucasfilm ratio. HERE IS AN ALTERNATE REALITY SCENARIO: George Lucas decides in the early 90's to make a new Trilogy of Star Wars films that will redefine movies. A series of films that will secure his legacy in a way that no other filmmaker ever has. Or ever will. He hires the most talented writers in the world to help him focus his broad concepts for the PT into three brilliantly realised scripts. He then hires the most talented Cinematographer in the world (insert your favorite here), and the most gifted Production Designer to give these new Star Wars a magical look. He then budgets the entire trilogy at One billion dollars. You read that right, a billion. He gives ILM a greenlight to make SFX like no one has ever or will ever again see. He has the crew build sets that are breathtaking in their scope and realism. He spares absolutely no expense at making these new films the most unbelievable experience possible. Why should he have done something so momentous? Because he, and he alone could. And insanely enough they would have made back the money.

In the first years of the 21st century... by fanb0y	May 29th, 2005 05:34:37 AM
(from the opening sequence of Equilibrium)...A second starwars prequel was released. Those of us who survived the hater dominated talkbacks, knew, that starwars fandom could never survive a third hated prequel. That our own, volatile childhoods, could simply, no longer be risked. So we have created a new arm of talkbacker, the Grammaton Fanboy, whose sole task it is, to search out and eradicate the true source of the prequel haters dislike of StarWars...our ability to nitpick...cut to shot of fat nerd holding an old pre-SE SW VHS ....another nerd yells "POLICE!" as cars of prequel loving fanboy-clerics pull up...(gunfight ensues as fanb0y, krullboy, Warcraft and bantherfodderuk kick down the door and exterminate all the haters just as vader eliminates the separatists) [[cut to new scene of Preston and Partridge in car]] ClericFanb0y: why didn't you just leave that for the evidenciary team to collect and lock(gestures toward his SW Laserdisc rip (OT)//Partridge: They miss things sometimes, I thought I'd take it down myself, get it done properly. How long fanboy, till all the old trilogy is gone, till Lucas changes every last bit of it.//Fanb0y: Resources are tight, we'll get it all eventually//(cut to flanneled fatnecked man holographically speaking to assembled citizens)Father-Lucas: SW fanboys, I congratulate you, at last peace reigns in the heart of talkbacks, at last, prequel hatred is a word that fades from our understanding...at last, we are whole. Fanboys, there is a disease in the heart of man, its symptom is hate, its symptom is anger, its symptom is rage, its symptom is lost childhood syndrome. The disease, is prequel hatred. But fandom, there is a cure for this disease. At the cost of the dizzying highs of classic OT, plot acting and pacing feel, we have suppressed its abysmal special effects lows. And you, as a society have embraced this cure: SPECIAL EFFECTS GALORE. Now we are at peace, and fandom is one. Talkback flamewar is gone, hate...a memory. We are our own conscience now, and it this conscience that guides us to rate EC-10 for emotional content all those things that might tempt us to hate again, and destroy them shot of fanboys burning all pre-SE OT tapes and laserdiscs. FANBOYS! You have won against all odds, and your own natures...your fandom has SURVIVED!!! cheering ///THE FOLLOWING ITEMS ARE RATED EC-10 CONDEMNED; 3 discs of pre-1997 VHS content....
Another thing to consider by Ribbons	May 29th, 2005 09:31:53 AM
It is possible for Lucas to make money off of Star Wars without actually making another movie, you know.
0 Star Wars 0 Furious by Masht	May 29th, 2005 10:45:40 AM
But I wonder if Lucas is prepared to swallow his pride and let someone else write (or at least script-edit) and direct and re-confirm what we all already know that he should have left those tasks to some one else for these last three prequels. Maye we'll go back to heyday of the Old Republic and discover that the scripts for Eps 1-3 were actually shat out by Palpatine after Yoda fucked him up the poo-hole.
llac5 by one9deuce	May 29th, 2005 12:13:15 PM
People with your poor taste in films are the reason we get half-efforts like the Prequel Trilogy, Alien: Resurrection, Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines, Rocky V, and the upcoming Rambo IV. Haven't you figured out that George Lucas has become exactly like Hollywood? Nothing interesting is coming out of Lucasfilm. He makes three souless cartoons, but as long as Star Wars is in the title, he knows they will make money. If he makes some of his "experimental films" then great, but he hasn't yet. He is no different than a Hollywood Executive, he is making movies what will make a lot of money. Compare him to the other big genre directors: Peter Jackson makes The Lord of the Rings which is arguably the most successful series of films in history, follows it with his lifelong dream to make King Kong, but he is then going to make The Lovely Bones after that. A small film that is interesting to him. Steven Spielberg has easily made some of the biggest and most successful genre films ever (Jaws, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Jurassic Park etc...), but he always balances it out with small films that interest him on a personal level such as Schindler's List, Always, and the upcoming Vengence. James Cameron has made some of the great genre classics like The Terminator, Terminator 2: Judgment Day, and Aliens, and he made Titanic which is the most successful film of all-time. But he balances that out with his undersea documentaries because they also interest him. George Lucas hasn't directed anything but a Star Wars film since 1973! NOTHING. He is a "suit" whether he wears flannel or not, and that is truly unfortunate because he was a great filmmaker once.
On a side note, James Cameron? by Mugato	May 29th, 2005 12:19:45 PM
Sorry, I'll take the love story in AOTC over the one in Titanic any day. Hell, I'd take the incest in TESB over Titanic. I'll concede that Lucas may not be the best at directing actors or writing dialogue but he wrote a damn good story and on every technical level he's unmatched by anyone working today.
llac5 by Ribbons	May 29th, 2005 01:13:04 PM
So...Lucas is the best director of all time, is what you're saying? I appreciate his contributions to film and all, but as someone who's directed 'THX 1138' (bloody brilliant), 'American Graffiti,' and six 'Star Wars' movies, that might be a little unqualified. Spielberg, as much as he "sugar coats" many of his movies that don't need it, is a much better director, and James Cameron didn't even write the script for 'Titanic,' did he? Lucas DID write the godawful script for 'Attack of the Clones' - THAT's the difference.
Did you two even read my post? by one9deuce	May 29th, 2005 01:22:09 PM
I didn't say that you had to like those three director's films. That is irrelevent. The point is that they are filmmakers, and Lucas isn't anymore.

Actually, Cameron did write Titanic. by Mugato	May 29th, 2005 01:25:58 PM
www.imdb.com is your friend. As for Titanic vs Attack of the Clones (this site has become a Nintendo fighting game), AOTC had a couple scenes with questonable acting and clunky dialogue (dialogue that was clunky because it fit the characters). Titanic had 15 minutes that were very well done, along with 3 hours of crap. The poor rich kid meets repressed girl dominated by a mean rich fiance was done better in Caddyshack 2. Granted, Terminator 2 was great but it was also 14 years ago. No, if another Star Wars movie must be done, and I'm not sure it is, I'd rather see Lucas helm it than Cameron.

...there is one fundamental truth we must all abide by...No matter how shitty StarWars movies or tv shows are, they will always, always, always make money. This is a business guys. Stop thinking of it as your own childhood movies or whatever. Starwars isn't a story about good vs evil, and redemption. It is lucrative merchandise. That is all. All this arguing isn't going to solve or change anything. Here is another sickening truth: Unless there's an apocolypse of some kind, StarWars will outlive ALL of us, in some way or another.

Mugato by one9deuce	May 29th, 2005 03:27:34 PM
Star Wars continued to be a money making machine since 1983. Ewok television movies, Droids cartoons, Expanded Universe books, video games, merchandise, etc... George Lucas doesn't like Star Wars. How many things do you need to see or hear that corroborate this? He really doesn't. But the OT well finally started to run dry in the 90's, and he needed to make new films to keep the machine running for another 15 or 20 years. So he made another trilogy, and will follow that with live action television, animated television, books, video games, merchandise, etc... You're probably getting the idea. Until the prequel well runs dry, and the cycle starts all over again. I don't know how old you are, but if you're fairly young, you will see this ad nauseum until you pass away. And still it will continue. At least until there is no money to be made.
None of the post Return of the Jedi EU crap started until 1991 by Mugato	May 29th, 2005 03:39:20 PM
Yeah there were Ewok and droid cartoons but how much money could they have made compared to theatrical films? If he didn't care about Star Wars or thought that he wouldn't make more films, why did he give out mandates to Zahn on would could or couldn't be talked about in the novels? For that matter, why keep all the props in a museum at the ranch? From selling that stuff on E-Bay alone he could have made more than he did off the films. Or just sell the rights or give the directing job to someone else and make almost as much money with none of the work? What you're saying just doesn't make much sense.
Warcraft by fanb0y	May 29th, 2005 04:40:53 PM
Yeah I hope Ultraviolet is good...I'm kinda hesitant because it seems like another Blade/Vampire genre type, but I guess people said the same thing about Equilibrium, that it was a copy of 1984 and all those genre movies. So I guess Wimmer has a knack for breathing new life into old concepts. Anyway, Lucas is a visionary. The story concept for TPM, AOTC and ROTS is brilliance, sheer brilliance...the implementation is a bit clunky at times, but Lucas in my eyes is a great storyteller. The political intrigue, the slave boy who becomes the chosen one who becomes a dark lord and loses everything...my god people these are great concepts and they are purely from the mind of LUCAS. When you are talkback haters going to grow up and stop whining.

Okay by Ribbons	May 29th, 2005 04:55:57 PM
I actually agree with that sentiment, and you automatically getting points for saying that best guitarist of all-time is too complicated to decide with any objective measure. BUT, then what's with all the addressing of how other directors suck in your post right before mine? I have to imagine it was in order to prove that Lucas was better than them, no? And I retract the whole James Cameron not writig 'Titanic' thing, but if Lucas would have written a good Episode II screenplay but for the ineptitude of Jonathan Hales, then what was stopping him from changing dialogue he didn't like in the first place? A co-writer credit doesn't earn him a free pass if you ask me, especially since he has final say.
'Equilibrium' by Ribbons	May 29th, 2005 04:57:35 PM
In my opinion, the action in 'Equilibrium' was great, but not much else. Although I'd like to have a huge-ass window in my bedroom like Grammaton Cleric did.
Every Star Wars film cost around $115 million by Mugato	May 29th, 2005 08:20:32 PM

If you want meaningless 2 hour fights with people screaming and spinning around, go buy fistfulls of Dragonball Z dvds, you bunch of monkeys. Star Wars was never about having every single person holding a lightsaber and jumping around in front of bluescreens. If you enjoy that sort of garbage, you're what's wrong with America. Oh, and nothing cracks me up like hearing fanboys talk about how much they hate "gay hobbits" and then go wet themselves in excitement when Anakin runs onto the screen with his padawan braid and leather vest.

My (late) opinion of RoTS by sultanoswing	May 30th, 2005 04:11:04 PM
It stands head and shoulders above the first two - TPM being utterly pointless apart from Darth Maul and AOTC having the most painful stalkerish character (Anakin) since Norman Bates was in the hospitality industry. Things I liked: - Ian McDiarmid's performance - Senator Palpatine - The Emperor's revelation during the Mace Windu fight - Tying up loose ends and nestling into the OT (but shoehorning - see below) - Fx (but also this had annoyances - see below) - Anti-totalitarian (e.g. Bush regime) political comment - Tem Morrison as the clones (again, qualified) - Did I mention Ian McDiarmid? (unqualified) - Vader's first breath Annoyances: - Script cheese (still). - Midiclorians (hoped they'd forgotten about them, as they render the force to be something genetic rather than something universal and fundamental). - Jar-jar (for old-times sake - and because he didn't die in some horrible industrial accident early on) - Not enough "organicness" to proceedings. Kind of like eating that orange American cheese - it just feels overly processed. - CGI space ships landing is nice - but repeatedly watching the futuristic equivalent of cars parking doesn't a good scene transition make. - "The Younglings". Georgie - grow some script cajones: they're "children". - Droid humour in general and artoo in particular (same stock Empire-spat-from-swamp-beast-o n-Degobah scream used at least 3 times. Funny in Empire - in fact classic - just becomes annoying in RoTS). - Shoehorning with great force (ironically therefore with weak Force) too many try-hard, look-at-me references to the OT e.g. Obi-wan "So crude" after using the blaster. Showing Bale Organa for 0.001 picosecond with no subsequent development (yes, I hear he was left on the cutting room floor) - especially in terms of the politics of the Rebel Alliance. I mean we never therefore see the formation of the Rebellion - they just 'appear' in Ep IV. Sloppy. - Coughing Grievous. A grievous fucking decision and pointless distraction if ever I saw/heard one. In fact - Grievous (and to a lesser degree Dooku) were a waste of ink/celluloid...a better idea I've read would have been to keep Maul alive through the series and slowly building his menace (and perhaps even kitting him out following various injuries in prototype Vader gear) until Anakin takes him (Maul) on instead of old-man Lee (who it seems has a habit of buying it early in part three of blockbuster trilogies - who's his agent?!). - Structure of the prequels in general. Would have made more story sense to start the prequels with Anakin as an older man - say the age of Luke in the OT...then tell a longer, more believable story of his turn, such as having to do morally ambiguous missions e.g. 'Nam-style village raiding - show a true gradual descent, rather than a cop-out i.e. "the reason I turned bad was because I wanted to do good". Sigh. - Padme - character arc died a painful nothingess of a death after achieving merely the foothills in TPM. She actually died not in childbirth (see below) but from too many simpering lines. Oh - and a Bridget Jones-Mark Darcy accusation here - WTF does she see in Anakin who just stalks her for two movies and acts like a paranoid schizophrenic?! Not believable - needed more Romeo and Juliet-style believable star-crossed tragedy about it. - Complete lack of any medical technology in a Galaxy Far, Far Away: "Ms. Padme - your 12-week ultrasound scan shows twins". "Ms. Padme, we can offer you a C-section in this day and age - no one's given birth - especially to twins, since the 20th Century on earth". Real pull-me-out-of-reality stuff (but that's prob. just the doctor/vet in me - although other docs I know think the same). I write this off (and the next point) as a hangover from when Georgie conceived the story in the 70's, and medical technology wasn't what is is today - but hey, if you can imagine hyperdrive - to paraphrase Han, I'd like to think you can "imagine quite a bit" in terms of med-tech. Not to mention the fact these prequels were written in the 90's. Sloppy. How come cancer wasn't sexy enough to bop her off? Much more believable! - "She's lost the will to live" - having just given birth to two babies and lovingly smiling upon them?! Give me a fonking break!! - Story inconsistencies: Leia remembering her real mother; Vader not recognising the droids (yes, yes, I know these can be explained by the force). I can't remember others now, but then it is 12:30am here. - Wookies (see pointless shoehorns above). "Miss you, I will, Chewbacca" (in case we didn't get the obvious tie-in). Uh-huh. A lot of interaction set up before that line to know he'd miss him with appropriate pay-offs in the OT. NOT. "A waste of a line, this is, Chewbacca". - Temuera Morrison as the clones - rushed photoshop head-on-body-cut-and-paste effects. ILM, hang your heads in collective pasted-on shame! - Jedi. They do fuck-all and sense fuck-all. Kills the concept of "for over a thousand years the Jedi were the guardians...etc". I accept decline is necessary for the story arc, but they were as effective as the local public transport committee - and NO ONE can be that bad. - One of the great surprises in movie history is no longer possible, depending on how you watch the films: "No Luke. I am your father.", and we're like "yeah, yeah. Luke baby - it's both true and pretty fuckin' far from impossible". - Vader being played by piddly, skinny HC instead of imposing,

KOTOR: Knights of the Old Republic by Gul Shah	May 31st, 2005 07:28:37 AM
