Terrible Idea by Krangelus	Jun 8th, 2005 02:11:31 AM
this is a horrible, horrible idea. why dont they just continue the story after ep 6.. whats with all this shit in between 3 & 4
um, this isn't a real story by AshFett	Jun 8th, 2005 02:17:55 AM
It's someone just totally, randomly making shit up out of wild speculation. Yeah, they briefly considered having a young Han in Sith... I saw the book too. They then nixed the idea. A lot of ideas get developed and then dropped from movies. Lucas has already said the tv show will deal with side/supporting characters from the movies, not the leads. Chewie? That seems possible. Han? No way. I mean maybe they could have a young Han make an appearance, but there's no way this show would be The Adventures of Han and Chewie with Han in a lead role. Is Harry gonna put up a different fans random idea for a Star Wars tv show every day or what?
Kessel? by Sakurai	Jun 8th, 2005 02:20:33 AM
I though Han saved Chewie from the empire mines on Kessel? So he owed him some sort of life debt? Maybe its just EU crap...But i liked the idea of it.
Hey I can make retarded speculations about the Star Wars TV seri by Liberty Valance	Jun 8th, 2005 02:30:59 AM
Jesus Christ how fucking low does this site sink when it posts shit like this? So we have one secondhand comment about Han that appears nowhere else in existence coupled with some anonymous jagoff who has a buddy at Fox--who probably works in the fucking commissary--but knows the minutae of Peter Mayhew's deal with Lucasfilm. Speculation like this is tantamount to 1 + 1 = 4. Hey Harry, I know a guy who knows a guy who heard from some chick that the Star Wars series is going to chronicle the life of Porkins from ANH. It starts with the extreme ridicule he endured in school as a fat fuck named PORKINS and ends with his death as a 45-year-old virgin in the Death Star trench run. There, can I have my very own talkback now?
Mayhew not the only one to sign for years... by Mister McClane	Jun 8th, 2005 02:45:26 AM
I heard Alec Guinness is signed up for the series too, guffaw, guffaw! Seriously, I remember people attached to Star Wars signing up for years not that long ago, I'm sure it's just a rights thing, legal stuff that in no way indicates whether Chewie will appear. And as for Han, Lucas has already said no major characters will appear. Personally, TV Star Wars is a BIG BIG mistake which we all know to be true. But hey, when have the fans ever mattered...

Hey, I got an idea when I was watching REVENGE... by Tubbs Tattsyrup	Jun 8th, 2005 03:04:04 AM
What if they made a TV show about, like, ORN FREE TAA!? You know, the big fat blue dude who distracted the shit out of me whenever he was on screen! We could have his adventures around the Senate chambers, signing documents, and stuff, and to top off each episode, he could do a big ROCKY HORROR-esque song and dance number, complete with garter belt and curly-wurly eyelashies. There's not a single SW TV show I'd rather see. Apart from, you know, Yoda's DIY show about how to build a hut from liquid mud using only the power of the Force. Penis.
Hey Nigger!... sorry, i meant HardcoreNigger... by Supermonkey321	Jun 8th, 2005 03:11:56 AM
If we're gonna talk Star Wars and race, i am just gonna have to throw in the two best quotes of all time involving Star Wars and the race issue: "FUCK LANDO CALRISSIAN!" and "What's a nubian?" (both from Chasing Amy, as i am sure u all know)... P.S. HarcoreNigger, ur fried chicken eating ass isn't pissing people off like u wish, it's just funny cuz ur stupid... go get a fuckin GED and a job that doesnt involve pimpin', dealing crack, or stealin' people's TVs!
HardcoreNigger ?? by Stevie_Winwood	Jun 8th, 2005 03:12:34 AM

Toshi Station by Jubba	Jun 8th, 2005 03:20:45 AM
It'll be a show like Taxi set in Toshi Station, and the big joke is that they are always waiting for Luke to show up and pay for his power converters.
Wow, Stevie_Winwood, that is the greatest argument ever! by Supermonkey321	Jun 8th, 2005 03:22:18 AM
And when i look at it like that, i guess HardcoreNigger has a point about Chewie being the embodiment of the black man. Makes sense. He also looks like he would be good at basketball too.
They should make a Young Han Solo series. by Pops Freshemeyer	Jun 8th, 2005 03:27:12 AM
Episodes can alternate between a ten year old Han and a seventeen year old Han. There's got to be a young Culkin brother to play baby Han, and they can get Jake Lloyd as teenage Han. Now THIS is podracing...er, a great tv idea!

Its safe to say that Lucas has fucked up Star wars to such a point now that this show would not surprise me. I'll just go lube up my childhood imagination in preparation for another ass raping. Its not gonna be long before some unhinged fan decides to assasinate Lucas.....hmmm!

Great idea on paper but........... by BrainFart	Jun 8th, 2005 04:15:53 AM
han solo dosent believe in the force prior to 'a new hope' . so the series would have no force users which would make it star trek or star gate or sea quest(if they move to mon calamari). Good characters though. im sure they could make it entertaining but one of the major things that makes star wars "cool" ,in my opinon, is the force. Star wars with no light sabers for gods sake. If they go this route they will have to show more perspectives than just han and chewie's
Stupid Lucas should've cast Harrison Ford's son Malcolm by Regis Travolta	Jun 8th, 2005 04:29:57 AM

Star Wars: The West X-Wing by Colonel_Blimp	Jun 8th, 2005 04:30:56 AM
In which emperor palpatine and his cabinet rush through corridors in steadicam shots while delivering witty, sarcastic (though still cheesy and cliched) lines at a machinegun tempo. Palpatine struggles both with the opposition (personified in sen. Organa) and his developing multiple sclerosis, while interracial romance is provided by the controversial interspecies romance between the emperor's black son, Darth Vader, and senator Binks. The other show is STARFELD, pretty much a sitcom about nothing, set in the SW universe! Aspiring standup comedian Jerry Starfeld lives in a flat in downtown Coruscant, spending his days with his friends, the always premenstrual female droid E-Laine and the neurotic underacheiving blue alien George Papanoida, talking about nothing and getting themselves into farcially much trouble. Even more fun to be had when Jerry's neighbour, audiene favourite Cosmo-Cosmo Binks shows up. Giddyup!

The only reason I'd worry. by Thayden Ozma	Jun 8th, 2005 04:57:22 AM
Remember when Assaj Ventress was supposed to be in place of Count Dooku according to the EP2 art book? Lucas said no, because he wanted to save her for something special, which turned out to be The Clone Wars cartoons. I highly doubt it, but it would be a repeat of the same idea in a sense. Then again I've had that artbook as I'm sure many of you have for weeks before the film came out and I'm sure that Lucas chalked it up to being a bad idea. It's funny that nobody posted anything about that as far as I know before now. Probably because we all thought the same thing about it. Then again, never say never when it comes to the big guy in flannel. -Az

There are TONS of great young actors who could play a teenage Han. Hey if Christian Salter could channel Jack why couldnt someone channel Harrison? With Lucas's mega scout machine Im sure he can find someone... Now how to not expose a young Han to the force would be the hard part.

HOW FUCKING DARE YOU VOICE YOUR BIGOTED OPINIONS HERE? I'm absolutely stunned that you haven't been banned yet - mods, wake up! This guy is implying that all black people are hairy slaves who can't talk (obviously the slave comment is pure bullshit anyway - Chewie owes Han a life debt) Seriously, grow up and stop being such a xenophobic CUNT.
Hey Harry - I saw you on the Spaced DVD last night! by evergreen	Jun 8th, 2005 07:10:38 AM
Most amusing - you do know you've got the sweetest job in the world, don't you, you git? Anyhoo - anybody on AICN who hasn't seen Spaced yet, I recommend you buy the 3 disc special edition - it's quality, and it's a show pretty much designed for the kind of people who go on AICN ("geeks", if you will). I iwsh they would make a 3rd series, but it looks increasingly like it won't happen, there will probably be some kind of one-off reunion show, but that's it. Shame. Simon and Jess - I beg you to reconsider!

Han and Chewie by Mafu	Jun 8th, 2005 07:43:50 AM
I'd like to see a show about a young Han Solo (the fucking shoot-first character, not the pussy Lucas created with the special editions) and Chewbacca. I'd also like this show to have nothing to do with the larger mythology of Star Wars. F Luke and Leia and their "I'm going to die for no apparent reason" mom. F Darth Vader, since the less I see of him from now on, the better. Create new mythologies, weapons, ships, and evil guys for this new show, and maybe I'll see it. But if it smacks of Lucas' meddling in any way, shape, or form, I'm not interested.
Young Han Solo would be good for the Animated show by Drath	Jun 8th, 2005 07:59:21 AM
Because a show focusing on the teenaged Han Solo, rogue and outlaw trying to survive in the new Galactic Empire, WOULD make a pretty worthwhile young adventure series in my opinion. In fact when I saw the design for young Han Solo, I actually didn't think I would mind it if he showed up in the movie--though I'm glad he didn't since the movie was plenty crowded and even Chewie's appearance felt like a forced afterthought. I actually like the idea of Han looking like a scruffy little punk as a kid. I mean of COURSE he did. It's perfect. But hey, people won't be happy with anything they do with Star Wars anyway. People keep wanting Lucas to continue the time line after Return of the Jedi. Guess what, the books do that, he's signed off on them, and obviously you don't like that. No matter what Lucas or anyone does with Star Wars now, fans will have their own ideas that they will like better, and the only answer to this problem is acceptance. And if you like your ideas so much, go and write them down, the worst you can do is discover that even your own version of Star Wars couldn't please you. ___________________________ By the way, I don't remember the Art of Book saying that young Han would ever be used--just that he used to be in the script and so they had drawn him. I'll have to check it out to be sure, but this seems like it's being blown out of proportion. Considering the huge Expanded Universe mythology for Star Wars, I would not assume that these details that were left out of the movie were intended for a TV show. They could just as easily be another book series.

While the concept has a certain appeal to it, there are a thousand better things they could be doing with the TV series. Regardless, I hope there is a wookie in the series. If Peter played him, that'd be fine with me, as long as it isn't Chewie. But, worst case scenario and this happens to be true, I'd still watch it. :)
Umm.. by Heavy Sigh	Jun 8th, 2005 08:13:56 AM
It has been a while but I believe that according to the "Han Solo Chronicles" books. Han doesn't meet Chewie until after he gets tossed out of/quits the Academy. It might have been seeing the wookies/chewie slaves that made him leave. Either way, Han doesn't meet Chewie until he is an adult.
Here's a thought about HardcoreNigga. by Thayden Ozma	Jun 8th, 2005 08:49:08 AM
First off you're not really serious. I mean the things you say in the posts right? They're a joke right? You're really some whiteboy who thinks he's really funny playing the faceless entity game on the internet again. Cool with me man, I know people just like you and it's fun and I hope you're having fun doing it. I mean you say one offensive thing, it gets a rise out of overreactive fanboys with a short fuse, you feel validated, they argue, you go home, tell your buddies about how you play this role on the internet to piss off a bunch of dorks on the net. Right on man, you rule. But if, just if you're really black and really think that you're coming off like some badass, then you might just want to reconsider things because you really do come off like a white boy playing the NWA live action roleplaying game. Sorry if the truth hurts brothamang, cause somebody needed to tell you and I sure as hell don't enjoy hurting peoples feelings. Keep up the good work! - Az
This is NOT the TV show by zacdilone	Jun 8th, 2005 09:00:13 AM
Interviews with Lucas have him telling how a VERY early draft of "Sith" contained a young Han Solo. Realizing that the idea was kinda ridiculous (gasp! Lucas figured that out without our help!), they nixed him from the script. That's where this snippet in the book comes from.
Hardcore: by InBloom	Jun 8th, 2005 09:21:57 AM
Riiiiiiight, now I'm being called a white boy by the King of the White boys...... Let me tell you something blood, because I suspect that you genuinely believe that people here will think you're a man of color. Not only ARE you whiter than Casper the friendly fucking ghost, but your momma was dressing you well into your teens, you were still wetting the bed at the age of 10. And even though you are now approaching your early 20s, you have to stop yourself from shouting "mom, I'm ready!" when you finished pushing stools out of your slack asshole, because your mom was still keenly wiping your ass for you as recently as a couple of months ago. You actually give white people a bad name, and are the main reason me and my crew pass the time by intimidating Sean John-wearing wannabes on the subway, then getting them to perform humiliating tasks such as cleaning our shoes with their tongues. Bitch? If I saw you in the street, Superstar, you'd be picking your teeth up with a broken arm within 30 seconds.

YES! This means the Return of the Life Day celebration! by BlueBeetle	Jun 8th, 2005 09:39:20 AM
And Mala, Lumpy, and Itchy. I cannot wait! This is such a cool idea. I was wondering how Lucas would tie up the loose ends from the Star Wars Christmas Special. This explains Han's motivation for getting Chewie back to his family in time for the celebration. I always wondered what would make Han take on those Imperial Star Destroyers in the show since he always avoided Imperial entanglements in the movies? I look forward to this show dove-tailing nicely into the Christmas Special.
promising but can't be true by handsolo	Jun 8th, 2005 09:58:17 AM
This won't happen largely due to the fact that Han's younger years were chronicled in the Han Solo trilogy written by A.C Crispin. Chewbacca was a slave in the empire. When Han enlisted at the Imperial Academy he saw Chewie being abused and thus saved his life requiring Chewie to owe him the life debt.

More on young Han in "Making of..." by brimble	Jun 8th, 2005 12:39:34 PM
In the "Making of ...Sith" there's a lengthy discussion about the possibility of adding a young Han to the movie, along with illustrations of how he might look and I think some actual dialog that was cut pretty early in the revision process. But I agree: this hardly counts as news since both books have been out for weeks.
Han Solo and Chewbacca? by Barron34	Jun 8th, 2005 12:42:25 PM
I just don't think that they should use any of the original trilogy characters anymore, on TV or in films. Just let the characters become part of history, and make new characters for the TV show. Bringing beloved characters back by recasting with younger actors is bound to just taint the memories fans have. Leave Han Solo alone. Make up new and original characters for this TV show. If the crreators are talented, we will like the new characters. If their is a misfire, at least it won't compromise beloved characters like Solo and Chewbacca. Lastly, they really should include Jedi characters in the TV show. It isn't Star Wars without the Force and Jedis, but instead just another form of space opera. A good concept for the show would perhaps be a young Jedi knight who survived the initial purge and who is in disguise and on the run. The young Jedi could be joined by a freebooting Han Solo-like space pirate, and maybe also a third character to act as a foil or love interest. Basically, a similar dynamic as between Luke, Han, and Leia, except with different characters. Perhaps the young Jedi could be on a mission to find his old master and any other surviving Jedi. Anyhow, those are just some of my thoughts on the subject...

How the hell is this news? by I Dunno	Jun 8th, 2005 12:50:25 PM
I thought it was established a long time ago that Han was to be living on Kashyyk and was going to be in the film but Lucas nixed it. He also said that there would be no major characters in the TV show. Thanks for the scoop though.
Han Solo Trilogy by Neighbor Jim	Jun 8th, 2005 12:53:15 PM
The books were good, but a show? Naw. So many possibilities for a star wars show... TIE fighter pilot in the Empire Birth of the Alliance Old Republic Jedi Rouge Squadron The Bobba Fett show Whatever it is, leave the main characters out of it, it's a big galaxy for fuck's sake.
Christ! check out the stories before posting them!! by Hockeypuck	Jun 8th, 2005 12:56:21 PM
Han Solo was in an early draft of episode 3 as a 10 yr old kid shacking up with Chewie. You can even see pics of him in the Art of Revenge book. I like the idea of The Adventures of Grando Calrission, Jr and his dog Spot.
Han Solo Continuity by Barron34	Jun 8th, 2005 12:57:08 PM
Also, regarding other talkbackers points that in the novelizations Han Solo does not meet Chewbacca until he is an adult: Lucas has said before that he does not consider any of the novelizations to be canon. Rather, he sees them as possible alternative histories, and so he has felt free to ignore them when making his movies. That said, I like the idea of Han Solo from the novelizations much better than some lame idea of Han being raised by Wookies. This sort of illustrates my earlier point that it would be much better not to use any of the main Star Wars characters in the upcoming TV show. Bring in new characters instead of risking compromising older, beloved characters like Han Solo. Imagine how many fans will freak out if the showrunners have Han doing something completely out of character ont he show? Using Han Solo or any of the other original characters int he TV show just opens up too many cans of worms, creates too many problems. The Star Wars universe is a big place; just create new characters and make us care about them. Don't bring in old characters and run the risk of ruining them and pissing the fans off. Maybe just have a young Jedi Knight on the run, a swashbuckling space pirate type, a female love interest, and throw in an alien sidekick and a robot or two, and put them together on a cool ship. Each episode should have new villains, new allies, new planets, and so on. It is a fairly basic formula, but good execution is the key. It could be a really exciting show if the heroes are constantly being hunted by the new Empire, forging the beginnings of the Rebellion...

It just won't. I'll be shocked if this is what the TV show turns out to be.

I kinda want to see... by the_poge	Jun 8th, 2005 01:36:24 PM
A series around a couple of jedi mentored by a still alive Mace. That said, I'd watch a Young Han Solo show. Not terribly young, but say while he was in his teens/twenties, just starting out in the smuggling business and competing against say...a young Lando. Who wouldn't want to see how Han meets Chewie, wins the Millenium, etc? Maybe add some kind of backstory between him and Greedo, etc. It'd be fun.

See guys, just an example that it could always be worse.
The Brian Daley Han Solo stories were good... by lynxpro	Jun 8th, 2005 01:49:37 PM
They just needed a backstory. I'd prefer a "Han Solo" (pre-ANH) movie myself. And explain that his name is assumed after he was booted from the Imperial Navy's officer corps. I'd ignore the other EU novels. But him raised by Wookies is also an equally stupid idea. It would only explain how he understands Wookies, with the absence of a universal translator.
Know what would make a great episode of the show? by Boxclocke	Jun 8th, 2005 02:10:05 PM
If Han and Chewie went out on an adventure, and were late for Chewie's parents' Christmas party. Only it wouldn't be Christmas, because there's no Jesus in space, so it would be "Life Day." Luke and Leia could be on their way as well, and Leia could sing a song. Oooh, this is awesome! And there should be lots of guest stars-- people who have nothing to do with Star Wars. Maybe a washed up band that has an outer-spacey name like... Jefferson Starship. Damn, this could be the best thing TV has seen in years. Lucasfilm should try to land Bruce Vilanch to write.
Fantastic idea... by Edward_nygma	Jun 8th, 2005 02:28:56 PM
Start out with Han around 18, develop the relationship with Chewie and the wookies on Kashyyk, in the 2nd season we have Lando and see Han winning the Falcon, setting up future seasons of smuggling and scoundrel-ing, working for Jabba, encountering Boba Fett etc. Sign me up man, i'm there!

I'm expecting at least a cameo from Chewie, Han, Lando, Boba by performingmonkey	Jun 8th, 2005 02:53:13 PM
In fact, I'd put MONEY on this series being based around Boba Fett's adventures. This leaves open the possibility of appearances by Jabba... I think it would be good if the series included some Han/Lando stuff. I mean, what the hell else can the series be about? It's obviously not going to include Vader, the Emperor, Yoda, Luke or Obi-Wan, so what other motherfucking characters does that leave? Jimmy Smitts as Bail Organa? Maybe. I doubt it'll be about Jedi seeing as they're all going to be killed. And I doubt it'll be set on Coruscant because of the budget required to visualize the planet.

The t.v. show BETTER NOT BE pre-Episode IV.. by chickychow	Jun 8th, 2005 03:06:29 PM

Han raised by Wookies by RaphsGirl	Jun 8th, 2005 03:08:42 PM
I thought it was commonly known that Han Solo was raised on the Kashyyk city of Rwookrrorro by a distant relative of Chewbacca??? He was raised by a Wookie named Dewlannamapia who had a son named Chakk who's related to Chewbacca through a second cousin three times removed who emigrated to Rwookrrorro and married Chewie's great-aunt's niece. What?? Haven't any of ya ever been to wookiee.net??? :P
TV show ideas? What about a cartoon? by DrLektor	Jun 8th, 2005 03:09:22 PM
Forget Han and Chewie, that's a joke. Anyway a live action Star Wars TV show wouldn't work, Lucas could throw as much money as he liked into it but with the show's limited lifepsan (how many seasons do you think it'll run?) all effects and even less characterization than the movies it'll be the death of Star Wars. What they SHOULD do is get the same team who did the Clone Wars cartoons. 2 seasons set in the 18 or so year gap between III and IV and maybe 2 seasons set after VI. Think about it, it'll be beautiful. Every loose end could finally get tied up, every plot could join perfectly with the movies. Episode ideas? Okay "The Last Podrace" A young Luke and Biggs being followed by a bumbling old man wants to take part in Jabba's final podrace, he keeps hearing from this crusty and nearly dead Watto about a human boy who won it decades ago. "My hero" thinks Luke and wants to enter, but of course his Uncle forbids it, enter Ben, a weird old bastard who keeps muttering to invisible people and offers to help. Or how about "Return to Kimino" where a young Boba, now a completely useless smuggler is suddenly confronted by 100 clone versions of his dad, all out to erase him from existence. He teams up with Vader (in glorious animated form) for the first time and wipes the planet clean. Last one I swear, "The Lost City" A dashing pilot, could be Lando, crashlands on the planet Naboo and finds the ruins of a once great city, all that's left is a bunch of psuedo force worshiping amphibians led by a regal Jar Jar who leads the last of his dying people into the oceans to join with the gods. I wonder if Lucas is hiring new writers? Heh. Brain fried now so I'm off to watch the Holiday special.

My pitch: Scum and Villiany the TV series by stlfilmwire	Jun 8th, 2005 03:24:45 PM
Star Wars meets Fall Guy meets the Sopranos. The story of Bounty Hunters and some undesirables that smuggle about. Have Lando, Boba, IG-88, Greedo, with Han making a cameo in the pilot... and Chewie in like 3 - 4 episodes. Good fun.
TV show could be cool if by hktelemacher	Jun 8th, 2005 03:31:56 PM
it's kind of a Kung Fu or Fugitive format - with a young Jedi who survived Order 66 going various places, getting in adventures, continues with his training but compromises a lot of his Jedi values along the way, becoming kind of a renegade relic as he dodges bounty hunters, gets into skirmishes with Imperial troops, becomes involved in various failed rebellions - it could be really cool. They could really milk the tragedy of the Empire's grip on the galaxy. It could run for a few years and then the series finale has Vader kill him, or Boba Fett disintegrates him and pays off the line in Empire. As far as spin-offs go, that kind of concept has the most potential. It's not screwing with established characters, it's free to do whatever the hell it wants plot wise as long as the writers resist the temptation to clumsily tie it into the movies. As a clean slate it presents the best opportunity to keep SW alive in a visual medium. If HBO would pony up the bread for an hour long (live action or animated) it could really take off. Though it probably won't. Sigh. Meh.
Nobody needs to pony up a dime... by SifoDyasJr.	Jun 8th, 2005 03:47:27 PM
I think he's going to self-finance and whatever network (or cable outlet) makes the best offer to air on Lucas' terms will get the show. Then he gets extra gravy from selling season DVD sets, which alone would pay for the cost of this series many many times over. I remember reading somewhere that 100 episodes are planned.
"Lucas lost his mind years ago ..." by Sil	Jun 8th, 2005 03:51:38 PM
The idea that Han was raised by Wookiees and befriended by Chewie has been there since Lucas's original backstory for the characters in the 1970s, so if he lost his mind, he did it when A New Hope was being made. It just wasn't an idea taken up by the shitty EU writers.
Well, It DOES Involve Minor Characters From The Film OR... That by jollydwarf	Jun 8th, 2005 04:17:22 PM
Uh, any help here would be hot. What was his name? Some young Australian actor that was supposedly in the running for the Anakin role a few years ago. Dye his hair brown, and you could very well have a young Han Solo. Sorry, no offense, Peter Mayhew, but you have nothing else better to do. Centering the show around these two would allow for plenty of action but lower tech sets and less use of ILM. Hey, he did it with one Harrison Ford icon on TV...he can do it again!! Expect Vader, an Emperor via hologram (played by another actor), and refugee Jedi who got Obi Wan's revised Temple beacon during sweeps weeks. Oh, and Jabba, Boba, and Greedo, of course!
They should have a series to fill in between 3 and 4. by Darksider	Jun 8th, 2005 04:27:09 PM

HAMMERHEADS by bubcus	Jun 8th, 2005 05:56:08 PM
No one ever reads this far down but I wouldn't mind seeing a completely different story told within the Star Wars Universe. One idea was someone captured by the Hammerheads and thrown into a prison that is a cross between Jabba's Palace prison and the detention block on the Death Star. Maybe it's a Jedi, maybe a smuggler. But you could really tell a good Robin Hood type story crossed with a Western Gambler meets American Graffiti. Stormtroopers happen to be the local police force and the main character(s) live in an underworld dealing with Imperial rule. I'd ALSO like to see more stories told in the worlds of BLADE RUNNER (without neccessarily dealing with Replicants). So many beautiful worlds get created in film and sometimes it'd be nice to see a completely different story told in the same setting where it's not a sequel or prequel at all. Just some random thoughts....
Yes, Lucas approved the post-Jedi books, BUT... by DarthCorleone	Jun 8th, 2005 06:04:16 PM
...he also reserved the right to blow anything out of the water that they established. In that Grand Admiral Thrawn trilogy it's supposed to be some great revelation that cloning cylinders are found, but this was before it was definitively established in Episode II that stormtroopers are clones. Hence, the books are no longer consistent with movie canon, and it can all be rewritten for television again. That said, I don't mind the TV shows being set between III and IV. Frankly, "I've got a bad feeling about this" no matter when they set the shows.
Assuming his sourse is reliable - his conclusion was totally irr by scrumdiddly	Jun 8th, 2005 06:27:41 PM
All it would mean is there will be A WOOKIE in the series. Not Han, and not necessarily Chewbacca. On that other issue people are obsessed with, they SHOULD set it thousands of years in the past, but they won't, because..well, you know how idiot movie/tv types think - it'll be something "familiar".

No way, George. Please, dear god, no. You finally redeemed yourself a little with ROTS. No backsliding. No one wants to see some gen-Y himbo Han Solo in a bunch of utterly meaningless stories. That's a dead end. Han has zilch to do with the story until Ep. IV. Leave it that way. Stick to filling in the backstory to the plot we actually give a shit about.

Why would anyone have a problem with this show? It's Star Wars and George Lucas is hot off of his latest film. I'm telling you, the magazines the internet and B.O. receipts cannot tell a lie. Lucas is the new Mr. Bigshot and the world is ripe for his taking. It's due time for TV to be granted the glory of a Star Wars TV show. Well, I'm not sure TV is good enough, but it sure would be generous of ol' Uncle Lucas to grant us the gift of a Galaxy Far Far Away 25 weeks out of the year. Being the exquisit storyteller that he is, I'm sure there's no shortage of new characters and plots to weave in the magical style that only George Lucas can tell. Now I do recall one show that might not be surpassed by the Star Wars series, but I highly doubt Rod Serling will be back to revisit such glory anytime soon. - AZ

Man why did you have to go and say the famous words? Why did you do it man? Everyone knows "Lucas raped my childhood." IS the most ridiculous and eggagerated statement in just about the entire history of the entertainment industry. I'd normally make fun of you in some subtle but mocking wayt, but at the same time man I'm simpathetic to you. Your post was not one of a rampaging idiot, overeggagerating his opinions because he thinks that's the way someone will listen. No sir, your post was painful, it was a cry for help. You're a guy who wanted nothing more than to see another glipse into that world that you love so much and what you got just wasn't what you'd been waiting for. I get it man. Even though I am an avid supporter of Lucas and think that his positives outweigh his sins, I'd never say that the prequels were perfect by any stretch. I do recognize that even though I am a happy camper in regards to Star Wars for the most part, there are some out there like Roguewriter who probably are good folk, but at the same time they're left without satisfaction to this story we all grew up with and cherished. I'm still not changing my tone as to how one should treat people in these forums, but that post hurt man. Want to come over, eat cheetoes, play with Kenner action figures and watch a dubbed VHS of Empire and pretend it's 1984 again? -Az

Actually, I was being sarcastic. I mean, THE HAN & CHEWIE SHOW can't be any worse than the STAR WARS CHRISTMAS SPECIAL, and lord knows I'd PAY to find a copy of that on DVD. Nah, he didn't rape my childhood. Mainly, I just find myself disappointed that he didn't bring the same kind of unprecedented magic to my son's childhood... but then again, that ain't really all Lucas's fault. Forget how bad the first two films in the new trilogy are... when they only stay in theaters for five weeks, how could they ever be expected to reach the kind of pop culture pinnacle STAR WARS once did, and RAIDERS after it (the latter played at our mall theater in Colorado for ONE FULL YEAR, man. A YEAR.) In all fairness, it's the motion picture industry that's raping my childhood. It's just that Lucas wasn't even dude enough to toss a brother a reach-around. ;) Peace...

My non-vengeful take on the prequels. by Thayden Ozma	Jun 9th, 2005 10:23:47 AM
I think that what we all wanted out of the prequels was the same ground-breaking "newness" to cinema that the originals had brought upon their arrival. Obviously when they came out there was nothing like them, nothing even close. And the unfortunate reality of the prequels is that Lucas and his fellow co-horts had set the bar so high with the originals that they became the basis for which a good film in the theater was supposed to be like. Well over the years and due to Lucas himself, lots of other filmmakers got ahold of some of that magic that Lucas had kept only for himself. So when the Phantom Menace came out, Lucas had a choice to make, either make a movie that's 100% what he would have liked the originals to be had he had the resources then, or make something reminiscent of the old ones and try to purposely match the campy feel which was a pipe dream. There is absolutely no way to recapture a feeling, a sense, an even like what happened when they made the originals with that equation of talent. I feel that Lucas tried really hard to purposely keep it campy to an extent, and in all honest I think he knows it came out convolted and awkward. How does one make a move that take place before the iconic ones that everyone hails supreme. This had never been done before and I think it's likely that Lucas himself never really knew how one does such a thing. Lucas probably thinks "I just had to be on the fringe and start it in the middle when I was younger, what was I thinking?" Now 20 years later he had a huge responsibility placed on him to live up to 20 years of fans screaming at him for more. And in spite of whether he wanted to make them or not, he knew he had no choice unless he wanted to be hassled about it for the rest of his life, which we would have. So when all the pieces fell into place I believe he really tried to do the best job he could to achieve what he didn't know how he was going to achieve and for his intent solely he has my respect. Those of you who knock the marketing machine, are just looking for another thing to break the guys balls with. Since when did Lucas ever actually force us to buy anything. And at the same time all of at some point or another have bought something of his. Leave the guy alone, that's all he wants. I'm sure he wishes that he made everyone happy, but that's an impossibility no matter how hard you try. Do the bad things that you hate about Lucas really equate and topple the good things that make him the guy that all of us at some point or another admired? Believe me, if he thinks he did a bad job, it's bugging him more than any of you. Let him have his peace so he can go out and make documentaries about swordfighters in the 50's who raced at handburger stands with young archeologists or whatever the fuck he wants to do. Lucas just put in 10 years of his life for the fans and for better or for worse that guy has earned it. - Az

What the show should be about... by Thundercats73	Jun 9th, 2005 12:13:07 PM
The show should be about Darth Vader and a Jedi on the run. The Jedi could befriend a space pirate with an alien sidekick, but then you run into cliche. It would be cool if the Jedi fell in love with someone and had a child. Reason behind that is that the Jedi realizes that he has to keep the "line" of the force alive. Darth Vader appears as the main villian. OR Another idea for the show should be Rogue Squadron. I know that's been a requested song of fans. OR Yet another idea would be for Mark Hamill to take up the saber once more. Now that would be the show I'd watch. Luke Skywalker training his son ala Lone Wolf and Cub. Luke and his wife Mara would travel the universe. Their son (or daughter) would age from a teen into a full Jedi knight over the course of the 100 episodes. Alas, that's just a dream. The show will be set between EP 3 and EP 4. It may or may not be cool. It will be just a tease, leaving us to want more like the Clone Wars cartoons.
Everybody Has An Opinion by KingKirby	Jun 9th, 2005 12:50:47 PM
Okay, I've been thinking about this since I saw Lucas confirm this series at Celebration 3. While he spoke of "secondary characters", I would love the TV series not focus on just one character or characters. Why couldn't it be an anthology? A three episode Young Han/Chewie arc here, followed by a Young Boba Fett episode there. A young Luke on Tatooine tale followed by a young Leia on Alderaan story. Interspersed we could have a Darth Vader tries to find an apprentice to destroy the Emperor episode/Emperor looks for someone to help him get rid of Vader episode. Then how how about episodes with several of the Jedi who are still being hunted down. A very special episode in which Obi Wan finally contacts nether force Qui Gon Ginn. How about a Yoda on Dagobah and the mystery of the dark cave episode. Give me a damn smorgasbord, George. You've got a 20 year gap to fill...have fun with it!

Didn't Lucas say... by wato	Jun 9th, 2005 03:54:59 PM
that the show would not involve any of main characters? I mean he said that at C3...I heard him say it (wasn't there but heard a recording). He did hesitate and say "well that's not entirely true.." But you don't react that way (as if you just remembered something) if the entire show premise is about two of the main characters. Calm down. This is just speculative crap.
Watto and Son by cookylamoo	Jun 9th, 2005 04:38:32 PM
Hilariaous adventures in the junk landspeeder trade. In the first episode Watto takes Jabba the Hut's favorite pleasurespeeder in for a tune-up. Watto's good for nothing son, Watto junior, takes Jabba's speader for a joy ride and runs it into a moisture farm. Hijinks ensue as Wotto's business (and Wotto himself) hovers on bankruptsy.
The whole anthology idea.... by Bad Wolff	Jun 9th, 2005 04:41:45 PM
Is the best one being floated around here. This would be a really good show, and the kind of show we really don't have anymore, so there's a place for it. But I wouldn't put money on that being the direction Lucas goes into. In fact, I think he already said that he would want to do 100 episodes with the characters and the setting that he starts with, and then maybe change to another era/setting/characters, etc.

I always assumed he was gayer than (insert punchline here), or to euphemise, "devoted to the force". Who can blame him, his only female relationship turned out to be his sister.
This story is poo doo by GornPirate	Jun 10th, 2005 01:16:32 PM
I bet it's going to be about Captain Antilles and a small team of early Rebels doing missions for Bail Organa/Mon Mothra.

in the early draft of ep3 han was supposed to be a kid being raised by chewie. he was supposed to help yoda locate the whereabouts of grievous but lucas decided it was too much.
No way... by DanSolo	Jun 10th, 2005 05:03:09 PM
what a fucking joke. Thats almost as bad as Lucas' plan to do prequels to the prequels about everyones least favorite green rat.
Sil by one9deuce	Jun 10th, 2005 07:05:42 PM
Sorry, but that stuff about Han Solo's backstory is complete BS. Lucas' original draft had Han as a green skinned amphibian, and Kane Starkiller frees Chewbacca. Han knows Chewbacca, but it doesn't go into any backstory. Show me a draft that has the Mowgli angle in it and I'll believe it, but I wouldn't waste your time because it isn't out there. And Thayden Ozma, you wrote: "it's still going to be better than anything that's ever been on TV before." Are you freakin' kidding? Better than The Sopranos? Better than The Twilight Zone? Get a clue. It is going to be almost identical to The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles. A decent enough show, but hardly classic. As far as a young Han and Chewie show, we have seen the characters of Darth Vader and Boba Fett made ridiculous by the Prequel Trilogy, why not Han Solo? It would be like a hat trick to have the three coolest characters of the Original Trilogy turned into Lucas' version of Muppet Babies.
Thayden Ozma by one9deuce	Jun 10th, 2005 07:15:16 PM
I fired off my post directly after reading your "best show ever" post. I'm glad you came to your senses about The Twilight Zone, but there are lots of shows that Star Wars: The Series won't even touch.
Thayden Ozma points at himself. by Thayden Ozma	Jun 10th, 2005 09:17:17 PM
Thayden Ozma knows the Sopranos owns his ass. But what you do not realize is that The Sopranos is sans Stormtroopers and shit that blows up and dudes with fire-swords and shit. You fucking moron, can't you figure from my writing that I'm not being literal here? I'll tell you who needs to get a clue, the guy who's here talking shit about things he doesn't even like. At least I'm a fan and I'm not spending my time bitching and complaining about things that I can't change. I'll get a clue, but you need to get a life. Opinions are like assholes they say. Turn dem' shits up! - Az
Ha! by Bad Wolff	Jun 10th, 2005 10:37:20 PM

Thayden Ozma by one9deuce	Jun 11th, 2005 03:29:01 AM
Your reply to me was: "You fucking moron". It took you two hours to come up with that? Take a day and come back with something better.
No, that wasn't all I said. by Thayden Ozma	Jun 11th, 2005 03:48:03 AM
It also mentioned that you should quit spending your time bitching and complaning about things you don't like, and something about getting a life. Oh and another thing about assholes and such. And really it only took me a minute or two to come up with that. I don't really know, I don't know posts and such. Oh and on the subject of me coming around about the Twilight Zone, I've been around about the Twilight Zone for my whole life my friend, it's been a favorite my whole life. Feel free to not retort on my admitting to being eggagerative, that bares no weight on your opinion. -Az

Thayden strikes back by BrainFart	Jun 11th, 2005 07:24:56 AM
once again your cognitive faculties never cease to amaze me Thayden Ozma. wish more people had your perspective. George Lucas wouldnt rape a fly (and thats not a tiny dick joke)im satisfied with how star wars turned out. i focus on the positive past and focus on the negative future. but i think we can make a difference by bitchin about shit that should never happen if we shoot down the bad ideas b4 they happen its like forging steel and banging all the impurities out via bitchin. And dude, im all about the cheetos and vhs action, where do i sign up?
BrainFart you need to change your name. by Thayden Ozma	Jun 11th, 2005 07:29:58 AM
Because you seem to be the only one with perspective. We're starting a revolution, me and you against the world Brainfart, it'll be glorious. We'll that is until one of us dies and is forced to eat the other, but I'll gladly sacrifice a thigh bone or whatever to know you'll carry on the fight! -Az
what and end the brainfart family name? my father would be so di by BrainFart	Jun 11th, 2005 07:45:04 AM
No our bodies will be crusified and left to rot. That way people will know of our mission. years later a new religon will spawn from it. Followers will mass until our story is novelized: THE BIBLE RELOADED. but as fate would have it , it will be made into a shitty movie and people will talk smack about it on websites unraveling what we have woven. by the way my ivory tower kicks ass, 100% real elephant tusk not that artificial piano key bullshit.
sorry off subject . back to the talkback by BrainFart	Jun 11th, 2005 07:47:09 AM
which one is this? oh yeah
I'm not one to argue with results my friend. by Thayden Ozma	Jun 11th, 2005 08:03:24 AM
You can call yourself ShitFacedCockMaster for all I care, just keep up the good work. The maddest of us really know what's going on to be sure. A very merry unbirthday to you! To me? Game on! -Az
Star Wars: BOUNTY HUNTERS TV Show by Monkey_King	Jun 11th, 2005 08:26:00 AM
Imagine if you will...Boba Fett's rise to fame/infamy during the period between Episode II and IV and written by Farscape and Cowboy Bebop scribes and maybe, just maybe, we will have a bad-ass Star Wars show. Their will even be Wookiees fighting Trandoshans as well. Lucas scrapped his 'young Han' idea because it would change the characters continuity and age.
Now we're talking! by Thayden Ozma	Jun 11th, 2005 08:32:44 AM
Bounty Hunters, Tales of the Jedi, The Rise of the Empire/Rebellion and an anthology are all good reasons and directions for them to make this show. More ideas like this please, now that we're off the topic of young Han, which was never going to happen anyway. -Az
"The 'W' Word" on Showtime! by Van Damned	Jun 11th, 2005 08:51:54 AM
See, what the rumor's really about is this proposed cable show where Han and Chewie explore thier blossoming love for each other. Are they sexually compatiable? Does the fur get sticky? Is Chewbacca a guy or a girl? Who gets to be on top, regardless? It's goona be huge, people: part 'Star Wars', part 'Will & Grace', part freakshow. Look for Jar-Jar to guest occasionally as the bi-curious whatever.
I GOT IT!!!!!!!!!!!!! by BrainFart	Jun 11th, 2005 09:24:01 AM
star wars: mandalorian uprising. boba recruits more mandalorians to destroy the empire. after all he thinks that is who killed his pops. they make gurrilla attacks on the empire assaignating key political figures and wipe out but loads of storm troopers. Bad guys versus bad guys. or maybe even have them be the rebelions' replacements for the jedi. later boba will learn that vader is sith which is the enemy of the jedi (my enemy's enemy is my friend) then betray the rebelion and works for the empire. go on to slaughter his own people and make him the ruthless bounty hunter we all know and love. throw in the ocasional jedi and you got yourself one kickas fucken show. CAN I GET AN AMEN!!!!!!!
Nod by Thayden Ozma	Jun 11th, 2005 09:55:03 AM
Merely one of the unexplored stories that are potential fodder for the show. Who knows where Lucas is going to go with this, it's not like he hasn't surprised us before. I don't think any of the prequels were what anyone expected. (Insert ill-intentioned smartass comment about prequel statements here.)-Az
Gladly by one9deuce	Jun 11th, 2005 01:11:18 PM
(Everyone expected the Prequel Trilogy to be good. So much for expectations.)
