More STAR WARS TV show grumblings, this time from McCallum! Little Luke'

I think i'm first by irishfella	Jun 17th, 2005 06:09:01 AM
I ope this series will be about entirely different characters.
Little Luke? by Dolph	Jun 17th, 2005 06:10:11 AM

story potential is slim on Tatooine by Matae	Jun 17th, 2005 06:13:13 AM
I can't see Luke being the focus. He definitely never leaves the planet or gets as far as mos eisley. And someone coming to him seems awfully contrived. Young Indy had every continent and year to chose from. I can't see this happening

sounds gayer than richard gere to me.
Little Luke? God help us! by droids22	Jun 17th, 2005 06:14:06 AM
Please god! No little Luke! No pod racing! No silly annoying Jar Jar type characters! But you know what? It's probably gonna happen! Shit! Oh well! There's always the animated series...at least GL isn't gonna write those!
Uh...ok by Andsoitis	Jun 17th, 2005 06:16:26 AM
I just think that the star wars universe is so vast, that they wouldn't need to do a TV show on one of the 10-20 characters we've already been exposed to. Are we so much in denial of the end of star wars, that we need a TV show about teenage luke in the desert? Or Teenage Han becoming a pirate? Might be cool to see corellia though, or however you spell Hans home planet.
Please, no... by DocPazuzu	Jun 17th, 2005 06:17:17 AM
ANYTHING except little Luke! That would ruin that wonderful moment when we first see Luke in ANH accompanied by the hint of the Star Wars theme. The whole gap between newborn Luke and 20 yo Luke is what makes that moment. I can just see Little Luke now, discovering a new, mysterious Force power every week or having adventures with Obi-Wan who, at the conclusion of every episode, reports Mork-style back to the remaining jedi on Luke's progress. Stinko!
nice by gay robot times	Jun 17th, 2005 06:19:32 AM
always wanted to see that, my whole 36 year existence i've wanted to see luke walk the desert as a nipper, buying peeny sweets, stealing porno mags (or worse death 'ha' sticks) from the local newsagents, this will suck harder than britney for $10. gl you are a fat fuck . leave it alone , how much money do you need???? surley you have enough to get your fat neck lipo'd by now?????

God help us, by Evestay	Jun 17th, 2005 06:23:53 AM
Well I suppose they maybe able to get some decent writers in, God knows they can afford it. I loved the first two movies but what happened to the rest? If the movies had been released in order we
I might add... by DocPazuzu	Jun 17th, 2005 06:24:03 AM
...that I really liked the Young Indy show, except for the episodes that took place when he was a really little kid and the horrendous Old Indy bookends to the episodes.
ugh!!.. It would be better to make the series act like The Silma by mansep	Jun 17th, 2005 06:27:19 AM
of course a Young Skywalker Chronicles will still probably be well made and exciting (if not well written), but in terms of characters and situations it will also be too over-familiar and will dilute the films. This is called milking, and it always harms the brand. McCallum and Lucas should be braver... afterall, they have nothing to lose.
One more thing... by DocPazuzu	Jun 17th, 2005 06:31:01 AM
Wasn't the whole point of Luke's longing for adventure the fact that nothing exciting ever fucking happens to him until he meets the droids?
The TV show I'd like to see by moviemaniac-7	Jun 17th, 2005 06:31:38 AM
First of all, I'm not into the Expanded Universe novels and stuff. For me, the movies will do. But I'd like to see a TV show about the first Jedi, about the origins and how the first Jedi finds out about his powers. Make it a HBO mini series.
Does anybody remember the last time Lucas attempted a live actio by MitchBuchanon	Jun 17th, 2005 06:52:40 AM
Please noooooooo... at least not with the characters we all love and know
Sounds like.... by Krangelus	Jun 17th, 2005 06:53:35 AM

Shitty back stories galore! by droids22	Jun 17th, 2005 06:58:09 AM
I hope we are not gonna get back stories to every little character on Tatooine. I could see whole episodes devoted to Greedo as a child and his ma and pa! I thought the Bobo Fett back story was reaching for it and totally unnecessary. GL thinks everything has to be explained! Even the Force with that lame Midichlorin explaination, Is there no magic left in the world? It's a myth! It ain't Star Trek!
Let the bitching begin by Lone Fox	Jun 17th, 2005 07:04:58 AM
Oh. It already has. I say make it Palpatine: The Early Years! C'mon, he was kickass in the last 3 movies
Little Luke, Han, Leia and Lando get together and have all sorts by Masht	Jun 17th, 2005 07:09:45 AM

The ONLY story involving young Luke I would accept... by Fawst	Jun 17th, 2005 07:12:01 AM
is Luke and Biggs racing each other through Beggar's Canyon and threading the needle. That's it. That's the only one that could be any good. Throw in some womp rats, maybe. It could totally emphasize just how boring Tattooine is. Beyond that, there's nothing we could watch Luke do except for fixing moisture vaporators and cleaning up junk droids from the Jawas. Yay.
If it is about the young OT characters... by Cpt Kirks 2pay	Jun 17th, 2005 07:38:02 AM
Lucasboy would be milking SW more than Rocco the Pornstar does, squeezing the hell out of Carmen Electra's breasts. Do the History of the Jedi vs Sith, and the Discovery/Birth of the Force. Plenty of full scale wars but with tons of philosophy and depth.

The whole point of meeting Luke on the farm in Episode 4 was by Cymbol	Jun 17th, 2005 07:42:16 AM
that everything was new to him. He dreamed of adventure, jedi knights, he saw his first light saber when Ben showed it to him. (which means he can't have met any Jedis.) So, I guess we get a Star Wars series with no Jedis or light sabers and a little boy who can't use the force. Basically, this is Young Indy meets star trek. Get your Tivo's ready!!! A series taking place between episode 3 and 4 could never stand the timeline/continuity scrutiny of the massive (and a bit crazed) fanbase. Don't do it George. Hell, you barely escaped a being tied to a pole and burned alive for your guffaws in the movies. Try this, and they'll be storming the ranch. You've been warned.
I was going to post something here... by rev_skarekroe	Jun 17th, 2005 07:44:48 AM

How I think he will do the series... by deadend dropout	Jun 17th, 2005 07:47:28 AM
I have a feeling you'll see something like an anthology series, where you might see 2 or 3 episode arcs that focus on different aspects of Star Wars lore. Some examples could be seeing how Han won the Falcon from Lando, how Han met Chewbacca, or how Boba Fett took up the mantle of bounty hunter. An interview with the actress who played Aayla Secura (the Jedi twi'lek chick gunned down on the shroomy planet) says that her character actually survives Sith. I know we hear a lot of BS from uninformed actors, but she seems to think she'll be involved in the series. We might see how she managed to survive (maybe the healing power of those magical shrooms or some nonsense) It could either be really boring or really cool depending on how they handle everything I suppose.
No need to worry. by RenoNevada2000	Jun 17th, 2005 07:53:12 AM
If Lucas is going to get to it after he does INDY 4, we've got quite a long wait...
Star Wars series without Jedis and lightsabres? by Sir Poopalot	Jun 17th, 2005 07:57:30 AM
Yeah, sure. I don't think they will place the series in a time when the only two remaining Jedi are living as hermits and there are not one lightsabre battle in the galaxy. Nobody is stupid enough to make SW without lightsabres, Jedis and the force.
It's got to be Leia by mapley	Jun 17th, 2005 08:06:53 AM
If they're going to set it in the period between III and IV surely the most intersting thing happenning then would be the Rebel Alliance forming with Bail Organa, Mon Mothma and Admiral Fishface. It would give more depth and meaning to the death of Alderaan if we had grown to know and like them over the course of xx episodes. It would also add more authority to the small roles the other major players in the alliance had in episodes V and VI. The best option though would be a 'Tales of the Jedi'. After all it was the Jedi thing that made Star Wars cool in the first place.
Its got to be Leia 2 by mapley	Jun 17th, 2005 08:09:26 AM
We could then follow Leia as she gets involved with the alliance 'Alias-style'. Obviously this would involve lots of undercover work at the Hutt palace.
Look on the bright side... by cutest_of_borg	Jun 17th, 2005 08:13:06 AM
Maybe we'll finally see Luke get to goddamned Toshi Station.
Thanks for stretching out the TalkBack, Pageiv by I Dunno	Jun 17th, 2005 08:15:22 AM
Choad. Anyway, I wouldn't listen to anything McCallum says. He knows precisely dick. He gave out so much false information about the prequels, I doubt that he knows anything more than anyone else at this point.
it'll work, it'll work.......... by banthafodderUK	Jun 17th, 2005 08:15:37 AM
.......... see I told you it was gonna work. - Thats what ill be saying when it comes out. Lucas invented star wars people - he can do what the fuck he likes with it can't he? Im not lucas kissing here, but this fucker ACTUALLY MADE THE FILMS (yeah, yeah, he borrowed bits from here,and ideas from there, but still). Have faith people- PLUS you must know that this is gonna be a boba fett fest too. Loads of cool shit to explore in those '100 hours'- wait and see (PS CPT KIRK - RETURNED I HAVE)

I'm sorry, but this idea simply sounds shit. My response to Lucas is the same one that I told a huge Assasin Maori that tried to kill me my first night in Kerikeri, New Zealand, 'cos I was chatting up a hot 17 year old... "Leave it, just leave it mate, or you'll get fucked up".
"it'll work, it'll work..." by Cpt Kirks 2pay	Jun 17th, 2005 08:26:28 AM

wtf? luke growing up? by BurlIvesLeftNut	Jun 17th, 2005 08:41:06 AM

Next Week On STAR WARS: Rise Of The Farmboy, The Moisture Vapira by CHEWBLACCA	Jun 17th, 2005 08:51:18 AM

I have a bad feeling about this... by McBane	Jun 17th, 2005 08:55:19 AM
3D versions of all six films can only mean: 1. More OT 'improvements' leading to all new CGI to replace those low tech models we all love. 2. An all new 3d set of Star Wars films on DVD. Lets just pray Luca$ hands over the writen and directing of Star Wars TV to an excellent writer and producer and DOES NOT get too involved. Bad things happen when he does. Just look at EP3.
seriously though folks... by banthafodderUK	Jun 17th, 2005 08:57:24 AM
we wont what the fuck will happen til its made- and until it comes out, all the sw lovers will be bringing up the positive possibilities, and all the sw (i wont say haters) 'not-likers' will point out the negative possibilities. I liked the prequels, the ot, the clone wars cartoons- so chances are i'll enjoy the tv show. It may even have that 'x-files' type of effect on me- by that i mean that i enjoyed the show (wasnt a huge fan), but found that i really liked certain episodes, but then really hated others. Patience, we must have

FIX TALKBACK NOW s'il vous plait. by Colonel_Blimp	Jun 17th, 2005 08:58:20 AM
Oh, and this is obviously bullshit. Say what you will about George, but he isn't stupid. This is NOT going to happen. My bet is on the fledgling years of the rebel alliance, with lots of cameos from boba, jabba, the droids, leia, bail etc. and possibly yoda, vader, han, lando and chewie. A few surviving jedi will probably show up and then be killed during the course of the series. But it will not be about Luke. There's no way.
I say it again: It will be an anthology... by SifoDyasJr.	Jun 17th, 2005 08:59:57 AM
100 episodes long, that will focus mainly on the Empire (with the occasional Vader cameo) and cool bounty hunters everywhere tracking down the remaining Jedi who got Obi-Wan and Yoda's message in 'Revenge of the Sith' to stay away. Could there be an episode where Obi-wan takes down a bounty hunter who has discovered a little kid with the last name of Skywalker? Absolutely and it would be great! Could there be a whole series around that? Nah. Probably a bad Japanese translation of what he said. Later in the article they talk about McCallum's super karate monkey death car.
I feel sorry for... by Aetius450	Jun 17th, 2005 09:06:22 AM
...the prequel actors because you have to assume that whoever writes and directs the tv series will be a better writer and director (of human beings) than Lucas. Christensen, Portman, McGregor, Jackson et al will once again be criticized by critics and fans by way of comparing them to the tv acting. But anyway, the obvious subject for a tv show set in this time period would be (at least in part) Vader hunting down the remaining jedi.

Wait. I thought it was going to be the Young Boba Fett Chronicle by Bones	Jun 17th, 2005 09:15:14 AM
Now it's going to be the Young Luke Skywalker Chronicles? That's just stupid. Why doesn't he come up with a really inventive idea, like the young Han Solo Chronicles and show young Han and Young Lando growing up on the Wookie homeworld. They can split their time watching old Nelvana cartoons, and incredibly ugly version of Jefferson Starship and and incredibly creepy Harvy Korman in a dress! Come on Uncle George, take us full circle! Slap on a canned laugh track and make it a sitcom, already -- Like the Cosby show with Wookies! "Mwa Haa Haa Chewbacca--try my lovely Jello Puddin' Pop...Mwaa Haa Haa..."!! Grrr. Star Wars is over, and it was a waste of time.
"Bad things happen when he does. Just look at EP3." by I Dunno	Jun 17th, 2005 09:18:44 AM
Yeah, Episode III, what a disaster. Almost uuniversal critical acclaim and $700 million worldwide (so far). I don't think Lucasfilm can take another failure like that. Twat.
i want a super karate monkey death car by banthafodderUK	Jun 17th, 2005 09:19:02 AM
do they come in red? Lucas knows which characters the fans will love to see: boba fett, tarkin, dengar, maul (probably wont happen tho), akbar, bossk, wedge, biggs (even that fat cunt porkins!), and of course, general madine's hair. Lucas knows that just a little flash of their favourite 'not enough screen time' character will have the geeks (probably including me) loving the show. Theres an awful lot of material to work with on this show when you think about it, jedi purge, non-clone stormtroopers perhaps having 2nd thoughts about carrying out orders, imperial academy shit, paplatine propaganda, rebels slowly rising in numbers. I hope it all works out ok....
But Luke's childhood is SUPPOSED TO BE BORING!!!! by Drath	Jun 17th, 2005 09:19:43 AM
That's why he yearns for adventure and to get away from the dull old farm and backwater town/planet where he grew up! He's not supposed to have seen Coruscant or anything remotely as awesome as what was seen in the prequels. He's supposed to be the kid who's always dreamed of going to the big city--but has never actually been there. Okay, granted, Tatooine is also a seedy dive, so it's not like it's Smallville (uh, pre-WB crapfest Smallville anyway). The proper place for Luke to have seen Coruscant would be if you plucked the Mos Eisley scene off of Tatooine and set in on Coruscant. That doesn't work though because why would Obi Wan take him there (into the Lion's Den) instead of just going straight to Alderaan? Seriously, the only things that MIGHT be interesting in that time period are the hunt for the last Jedi, the early adventures of Han Solo, and perhaps some of Princess Leia's upbringing and introduction to the Imperial Senate. Luke is the only character who CAN'T have adventures before we meet him in ANH. STAR WARS is his adventure! The most you could do is more pod racing....oh wait, that's exactly what Lucas would think is worth showing. Crap.

Vader: What will the series be about? Palpatine: Little Luke and by Oski	Jun 17th, 2005 09:25:09 AM

by Weshtery	Jun 17th, 2005 09:33:47 AM
Heh, I can just see it now, Lucarse writes a whole series about a 10 year old Luke having loads of adventures with his uncle Ben - and then goes back to A New Hope and butchers it to make the continuity fit. He really shouldn't be allowed near a sucessful series. God knows what damage he'll do to Indy. He'll probably go back and edit the scene out where Indy shoots that guy with the whirling sword.
Sigh here we go again by Tenken	Jun 17th, 2005 09:35:04 AM
I hope Lucas is going to take nothing more than a visual advisory role in this new series; the potential for ideas like this coming into fruition is just frightening. If they do anything related to the films they should try and get some of the EU storylines filmed. Ford and Fisher are the perfect age to play a long-married couple, and the exploits of their children in the EU universe, along with Luke training new Jedi, would make a very engrossing series.
why ruin lukes intro? by ZO	Jun 17th, 2005 09:40:35 AM

Another dumbass timeline move by Mr. Shh	Jun 17th, 2005 09:51:56 AM
Not to stray too much from the topic here, but the Star Wars Galaxies online game -- which was made out to be the ultimate gaming experience to end all other video games -- is set in the timeline between Episodes IV and V. And guess what? There are about 200 jedi running around on each server. The timeline for that game ruined what could have been a really cool experience, either post-ROTJ or pre-TPM. Looks like the braintrust out at Skywalker Ranch is dropping the ball for, oh, the fourth time (Galaxies, Ewoks, TMP, AOTC). The TV series could literally go anywhere if it were years before or after the movies. Maybe George wants to leave the slate clean before and after because he wants to make more movies (which I hope, I think he just figured out what the hell was going on with ROTS). But that's just wishing on my part. But what will happen is what always happens, George is gonna do whatever the fuck he wants no matter what anybody else says, and half of us will think its butter and the other half will think it's shit. Maybe Coppola and Spielberg can talk some sense into him again.
Why not set it after "Jedi" to satisfy everyone who wanted there by www.valiens.com	Jun 17th, 2005 09:52:24 AM
...instead of what they are going to do which is everything I see on this message board. Luke only knows about the war being waged, which means he isn't ever going to be a part of it. Soooo...what of interest could he possibly do? I predict lots of Ben Kenobi staring at his nubile ass through binoculars as young Luke bends down to farm...ah...moisture.

We'll never see it... by howstone	Jun 17th, 2005 10:08:35 AM
If it's not gonna get done until after Indy IV, then we don't have to worry about how much it's gonna suck. Lucas, who wrote some of the worst drivel of the last ten years, can't seem to greenlight a script for Indy, so this show is at best (worst?) five years away.
Tatooine High? by Darth_Nader	Jun 17th, 2005 10:09:22 AM
Why not? Put some 'O.C.' characters in makeup, and let them get all angst-y together. Think of the tension in the Luke-Leia-Han love triangle! I can already see the episode where Luke and Han pod race for Leia's love! Of course she only has eyes for Chewie...
Everybody Loves Jar-Jar! by TheBaxter	Jun 17th, 2005 10:18:02 AM
Lucas should make a sitcom based on the wacky family life of everybody's favourite racially-stereotyped CGI character. The new catchphrase "Meesa have a very bombad feeling bout deese!" will become a permanent part of the cultural lexicon. Every episode will feature a crisis that is neatly resolved when Jar-Jar steps in poo. In season 3, a very special episode will deal with the issue of child abuse, when Jar-Jar has hypnotic regression therapy and realizes that George Lucas raped his childhood. It will be the highest-rated sitcom since the Cosby Show.
I was under the impression that Luke's life was boring until by TV CASUALTY	Jun 17th, 2005 10:19:24 AM
So is this going to be a series about watching him as a fucking farmer? Oh... Fucking... Great. This idea sucks. Make it after ROTJ or pre TPM... or a parallel story line during the trilogy with different characters. OR, my absolute most wanted story line, Tales of Han Solo.
We DO need to see young Luke on Dagobah... by Philaspenser	Jun 17th, 2005 10:19:30 AM
After all, in "Empire", after Luke crashes on Dagobah, he says to R2, "I don't know... there's something familiar about this place." Clearly, a toddler-sized Luke was temporarily hidden on Dagobah for a while, perhaps when Imperial types were sniffing around on Tatooine. So, at least the TV show can clear up that small loose end from "Empire."
Oh, and Waffleking... that was pretty funny... by TV CASUALTY	Jun 17th, 2005 10:24:22 AM

my dream series by wschiff	Jun 17th, 2005 10:33:00 AM
If they insisted to base a series between episode 3 and 4, I would love to see it following in the series: (feelings and thoughts of) Young Darth as he does the Jedi purge, the growth and politics of the empire (feature permanet new people underneath major characters ala Tarkins 2nd in command), the birth of the rebellion (following characters like Mon Mothra, Bail Organa), and the few remaining jedi who have had their faith tested and are trying to survive the purge. I think a series based on the time after Jedi feature an older Luke (how old is Mark H. now?) would rock.

They said that it will be about 100 hours which means that it'll be something like 150 episodes or about 6 or 7 seasons like Star Trek. Who better to plan, create, and write this than the man who created and almost single handedly wrote one of (if not the best) the best Sci-fi TV shows...so I say put J.M. Straczynski on this show, and let him do EVERYTHING he wants and let him do it all with a massive story arc...JMS gets my vote!

The OC: Tattooine? by DannyOcean01	Jun 17th, 2005 10:38:30 AM
Like Quint says, how could Luke growing up be exciting. Wasn't he always moaning how boring his life was? Isn't Star Wars supposed to fantastic?
This is what I was afriad of by performingmonkey	Jun 17th, 2005 10:43:02 AM
If they're doing the series between Episodes 3 & 4 then they need to be VERY careful about who/what they show. I think it will only work if we don't see Luke, Obi-Wan, Vader, Yoda. Otherwise, the transition between trilogies is stupid. Han, Chewie, Lando and Boba I could live with. Same goes for Bail Organa, Mon Mothma and any other minor characters (we could see the growth of the Rebellion). However, I firmly believe that the first time we see Luke should be his first scene in A New Hope and not in some stupid kids/teen adventure to Beggar's Canyon or something. Also, the first time we see Vader needs to be his first scene in ANH, the same goes for Obi-Wan. I would have much preferred the series to be set post-Return of the Jedi. That way they can do anything and not be constricted. However, Lucas probably thinks people would 'love' to see Luke and Leia as teens and having Dawson's Creek style romance problems.
No more Star Wars on film by JediStryker	Jun 17th, 2005 10:44:44 AM
Books I can handle because I can take or leave them. But a television series I'm going to be forced to swallow, and at this point I don't want to. Dammit how I am coming to hate Lucas. Money-grubbing bastard.
smackfu, too funny. by radio1_mike	Jun 17th, 2005 10:44:59 AM
Star Wars Babies...! That's the first thing I thought of, too. Of course there'd have to be a baby Chewie and a baby Yoda to boot... Now that would be a great series-- Watching Yoda's and Obi-Wan's tarining as Jedis...
I doubt it. by dr_dreadlocks	Jun 17th, 2005 10:45:49 AM
Highly. Since Luke's story BEGINS with Sith, and really moves into place with ANH... There would be no point to show anything else. Luke is bored with his life, do we want to see what bored him? I don't think so. They will inevitably set it in between Sith and ANH, but I figured they'd follow around Boba Fett on his mysterious adventures. The idea of Hamill narrating a Jedi adventure show, chronicles of all the former Jedi etc. With each season focusing on a particular young Jedi (before TPM) than I'd be all up for that too. I guess it's just a matter of time before we know. But this idea seems... not so hot. -- http://www.cafepress.com/thene wpulp
KNIGHTS OF THE OLD REPUBLIC!! by Russman	Jun 17th, 2005 10:50:27 AM

If this is true, Star Wars is beyond dead. Why did I ever hold by Right Bastard	Jun 17th, 2005 10:57:45 AM
The Christmas Special. The Ewok movies. The Droids cartoon. The Ewoks cartoon. Those Timothy Zahn novels. The Special Editions. The Phantom Menace. Attack of the Clones.......sigh. Why did I never notice it before? Star Wars has a worse track record than Star Trek. A few shinning stars among a pile of crap.
how about if....... by metalpaul	Jun 17th, 2005 11:03:45 AM
The only way this TV show nonsense could work is if aging Ex-senator Jar-Jar goes a little kookie and gets facial reconstruction to look like a bantha. He buys the burnt out shell of the Jedi temple rebuilds it and calls it "Mesohappyland." He then proceeds to kidnap and chase around lil' luke, lil' han and lil' chewie. Hilarity ensues.
We all know that Lucas thinks out loud a lot by The Heathen	Jun 17th, 2005 11:10:59 AM
If he has 100 or so eps planned out (I guess about fives seasons right?) I imagine Luke would only be in a handful. Like Fawst said, Lukes episodes would probably be about him and Biggs threading the needle in Beggars Canyon and blasting womprats with T-16 Skyhoppers. It might be good if they did show Luke fixing a moisture vaporator to show how boring Tatooine is to him. The other eps could be about a new smuggler Han, Han & Chewie, Lando's relationship to Han, Leia's upbringing in the senate, Yoda exploring Dagobah, Vader killing off straggling Jedi, etc., etc. The possiblities could go on, but I think that would be the best way to handle it. I fear doom if the series is based on young Luke alone, but I don't think that will happen. Maybe Kevin and Mark will also let something else out of the bag on IFC tonight.

...why aren't we at Star Wars Episode 15 by now? He could have made a lot more money than he did if he went all Star Trek with the idea and made a movie every 2 years but he didn't. And this site needs to stop jumping over every spurrilous rumor it comes across, especially if its from McCallum. Everyone should know by now that he's always full of shit.
Y'know hat I always wondered about the Star Wars Universe? by Johnno	Jun 17th, 2005 11:37:12 AM
What do people do for fun? Aren't there any TVs around? What do people watch? Those holographic things? No movies, no TV serial sitcoms? No live podracing? Pretty weird... but I guess death sticks will suffice and I guess those live opera circus show thingies that Palpatine and Anakin were watching will suffice :P
Excellent idea, metalpaul by Mafu	Jun 17th, 2005 11:39:45 AM
If I might continue your story, I think that while Jar Jar chases lil' Luke, Han, and Chewie around Mesohappyland, Darth Vader, pacing the bridge of a star destroyer with military underlings in tow, makes a decision: he decides he's tired of being called "Darth Vader." In fact, he resents the Emperor for forcing the name upon him. He thinks, "Man, I never liked the name Anakin either, but at least I got that from Mommy." Then, in a fit of drama, Darth raises his arms and says, "Noooooooooooo!! I won't be called Vader anymore!! I will be... Pucky! Darth Pucky! Mwahahahaha!" Confused, members of Darth Pucky's military posse cast glances at each other, wondering if Mr. Dark One has gone insane. Darth Pucky stops railing for a moment, casting a few glances of his own, and then makes another decision: he decides he doesn't like wearing black. In fact, he realizes he's always wanted to wear a sand-colored suit and mask because, you know, it reminds him of the sand on Tatooine, dry and coarse. In seconds, he strips out of his black suit and runs naked through the ship, and eventually steps up to the Imperial wardrobe counter. Dismissing the guards with a wave of his hand, he tells the small, prune-faced tailor named Grut to get busy making his new garb. Tune in next week when Darth Pucky confronts the Emperor about his new fashion choices...
THIS ARTICLE IS BULLSHIT!!! by Shel	Jun 17th, 2005 11:48:37 AM
He *(George Lucas)has already stated That in fact the series would deal with a secondary chracter notone of the mian chracters form the OT or PT which from everything I have heard has been talked about Bobba Fett NOT Luke........McCullum probably said something to the effect of"This wil be a new TV series about Star Wars and some of the original characters may make an apprence" They probably ran with it.

NO MORE FUCKING PREQUEL SHIT FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, THAT STORY HAS BEEN TOLD ALREADY! We do NOT need to see Luke grow up, what exactly is the point of that?? Jesus Christ, I think this guy is just afraid to move on, create something new.
If this is true, then... by Childe Roland	Jun 17th, 2005 12:07:08 PM
...after a brief moment of inspiration that saved Revenge of the Sith from being complete shit (it was still pretty bad, but by prequel standards it was watchable), George has once again completely forgotten the face of his father. If he needs a reminder, he should look at the original non-CGI Jabba the Hutt. You know, the one form the scene they cut out of the original, Star Wars? That's so obviously George's dad, it isn't even funny. Okay, it's a little funny. Young Luke would be twice as annoying as whiny teen Luke. Think Jake Lloyd's Anakin without the sunny "Whoopie" disposition. Might make an intersting background character in a series about someone else. Boba Fett seems to be the most logical choice. He goes all over the galaxy and fucks with all kinds of creatures in pursuit of cash and infamy. He could have reason to cross paths with as many of the well-known characters in their younger incarnations as the creative team saw the need to exploit. It would at least be an interesting show. Kind of like Hunter in space. But with George writing, doubtless he'll find a way to fuck up even the most promising premise.

if there going to make a TV series, they should make the clone wars. alot happened during the clone wars. the carton was so SWEET. you could use all the characters from ep2 and ep3 and make a 10 part mini series for HBO. im sure most of them would love to come back and work on star wars. if not the clone wars they should do something on the origin of the jedi and the sith, not no little luke. how boring would that be.
For once, I agree with Harry by zinc_chameleon	Jun 17th, 2005 12:24:21 PM
Having played "Knights of the Old Republic", I'd say that any one of the game levels would make a better story than the life of Little Luke (by whose own admission was boring and tedious). Sounds like Luca$ is playing it safe...

I'm sick of fucking Tatooine! I don't want to see anymore characters or planets from the movies. We have a whole galaxy to play with, why are we not visiting different planets? Why isn't this show about the Jedi that got the message to stay away. I don't want to see baby Luke!
I don't buy it. by MasterWhedon	Jun 17th, 2005 12:54:25 PM
Lucas himself said that the series would focus on peripheral characters. Doing an entire series on the Skywalker clan would be something less than that, to say the least. I'm still hoping for a Boba Fett series with a flash forward at the end of him busting out of the Sarlacc Pit. Either that, or an entire series that's just slightly removed from the films. Put it in the Outer Rim on the other side of the galaxy from Tatooine and show how the Empire creeps out there. Make it one planet's Exodus-like battle against an evil, enslaving oppressor. That show I'd watch.

Lucas has stated many times that this will NOT be about any established major characters. You can't get much more established or major than Luke Skywalker. I think it might be about Jedi who survived the Purge. In the Hyperspace comics on Star Wars.com there is a new series about some Jedi who survived the Purge so it is possible. That is a heck of a lot more likely than the Young Luke Adventures...

Bad Idea for a series by Roger Thornhill	Jun 17th, 2005 01:05:41 PM
If they have to do a series between III and IV they should have NONE of the OT and PT characters involved in it. Maybe it could be a series about the birth of the rebellion...in which case...maybe including such minor characters as Mon Mothma and Bail Organa would be necessary. No little Luke stories...that goes against the idea of Luke's boring existence of Tatooine at the beginning of IV.

Too bad they aren't doing it in a far removed time, way, way early, or way, way later. Quint is right. That would be the only way to do it, they archetypes of the series are too firmy in everyone's minds. But, making new heros and villians, 600 years ago, with a young Yoda, is completely doable, and would work. Too bad, you can never change George's mind when he has it set though, even though it could be so much better.

OVERKILL ALERT! OVERKILL ALERT! OVERKILL ALERT! by uberman	Jun 17th, 2005 01:55:19 PM
This is all about M.O.N.E.Y and keeping Star Wars in the public eye to keep the merchandise machine flowing. He will milk this thing until it runs dry. He has officially jumped the shark and no, NOBODY needs to see this to know it will suck-he has already proven himself in using kids. Mr. Lucas liscenses his 'Art' for cereal boxes, canybars, toothpaste, macaroni, fast food, etc. etc. etc. I could not go into a store of ANY knid without bumping into a Star Wars Revenge of the Sith promo plastered on multiple product. FOR THIS REASON ALONE I REFUSE TO SEE HIS MOVIE. If he/it/star wars had any respectability left he would'nt continue to slam it down our throats. It diminishes its worth, is beneath the original art of the films, and makes a mockery of his vision. I understand the initial wave of merchandise and how it went to fund his studio. Bravo, and hats off. A few toys for the geeks is fine. But does it need to level of product placement it now seeks-and has? I believe he would be less rich (How rich do you need to be? Quit being a friggin pig, george) but held in MUCH higher esteem had he not gone out and continued to merchandise this crap to death. The last movie may indeed be the best, but I refuse to contribute to his maniacal merchandising mania. Overkill, anyone.
THIS MAKES NO SENSE!!! by bubcus	Jun 17th, 2005 01:56:44 PM
How can you tell 100 hours of story about a dreaming farm kid who's under his uncle's thumb, doesn't go very far and the only excitement you might have is warding off sand people and flying a sky-hopper. If I want all that, I pop in the Star Wars Radio Drama. What makes more sense, would be following Princess Leia and the budding rebellion. THAT you could build 100 hours on. And much as I love Luke, Han, and Chewie, the ONLY scenes I would want to see involving THOSE characters would be Imperial Officer Solo rescuing an abused Chewie (reinactment from the Bible where Moses rescues a slave being beaten) and Luke actually flying his sky hopper. Other than that... I also think that this TV series (focused on a young Luke) would have worked better in the early 80's... back then the public loved that sort of stuff... we're not the innocent children we used to be anymore... we're harsh, bitter, whiny, and complete assholes now). Well, I guess we'll see what happens next and we'll gripe about it and love it all at the same time as it develops. Damn us all.
Its obvious this show should take place years after Jedi, where by chickychow	Jun 17th, 2005 02:00:29 PM
Luke and Han can be supporting characters, okay, but we NEED NEW ONES! A New band of rebels, new Siths, new bounty hunters (new Death Star?). Even apologists have to admit that its enough with the fuckin prequels.
Could B. Good by Incrediburgible	Jun 17th, 2005 02:04:46 PM
The Leia story should be predominate. The Rebellion. Alderaan. Tarken. Vader cameos, ("I thought I recognized your foul stench.") Also, with Leia you get to keep Threepio and Artoo around. And some young Han (picture Harrison Ford's character in American Grafitti). Speaking of American Grafitti, if we have to go to Tatooine, instead of the expected pod races, we should get Cruisin' Mos Eisley or something like that. Or if the Larrs' is a podunk farm area... think about maybe some Speeder Demolition Derby action. County Fairgroundstyle. And just introduce some heretofor unknown Lesser Jedii to the canon, for your Force and light saber action. Lobot's Coruscant Disco, patrolled by Stormtrooper Peace Officers. Or, maybe the cops from THX1138 with their cattle prods. Maybe E.T. flies one of those pods from 2001 A Space Odyssey. (remember, both appeared in the prequels). Sandmen terrorist-themed stories. (towelheads!!!!!) Yoda and Cookie Monster eating Pillsbury Spacefood Sticks. Lucas would score some huge points if he's just fucking condescend to use a few goddamned MUPPETS for crying out loud. This show could be great fun. But it will probably suck eggs.

I want Jawas by Bryan	Jun 17th, 2005 02:09:22 PM
At least one episode completely about Jawas, with or without subtitles. Not going on a big adventure, just selling droids and dealing with cheapskate humans. Also there should be an episode shown from the perspective of the Sand People so we can better understand their culture. Just because they refuse to go onto a reservation or something people act like they're bad guys. p.s. Even if the article is accurate it does not say that the show is ABOUT young Luke. It probably means there would be a cameo or two. My guess is that it's mostly about minor or new characters, with occasional cameos by more crucial characters. If they do it well then people will be excited by these appearances rather than bitching. (Oh, who am I kidding. People will be bitching from now until the grave. Until AFTER the grave. Until their bodies are dust. Then they'll still try.)
MY PITCH by cutest_of_borg	Jun 17th, 2005 02:13:01 PM
Why not set the show on a single starship and concentrate on seven primary characters. You could have the brash and bold captain, his wise alien first officer, the compassionate chief medical officer, and four other characters with not alot of screen time. Each week they could visit a different planet, have a new adventure and learn something about the human condition along the way. The show could be called STAR WARS: STAR JOURNEY. Borg has spoken. So let it be done.

Sand People stories would rock. The Reservation. I love it. Some Jedi dude could be like your Billy Jack. Yeah. I think that Jawa Ewok wrestling would be a good story for an episode. And there's gotta be some shark jumping. They should jump at least one shark per episode. "COME ON, PEOPLE!! THESE SHARKS AIN'T GONNA JUMP THEMSELVES!!!!!!!!"

For those of you that think this article is bogus because Lucas by Thirteen 13	Jun 17th, 2005 02:20:26 PM
Remember back 3 years ago when Lucas swore up and down that there will NOT be a television series? This article is true. It sounds exactly like a Lucas inspired mess so its got to be true. Lucas says a lot of crazy things and then goes on to do even crazier things contrary to what he said before. Oh I was so hoping that Lucas would keep his hands off and let someone else take the helm. Well looks like Star Wars apologists can gladly look forward to at least 5 seasons of dancing bears, a little Luke saying "Yipeeeee!!!" this time, a younger even more retarded ( if thats possible) Jar Jar, ect. ect.
How old is luke by Bubastis	Jun 17th, 2005 02:28:14 PM
when we meet him in a new hope? I make him about 18-20? So this show would revolve around Luke aged what? 10? 12? Alarm bells are ringing. especially as it seems that in his twenty odd years, Luke has never even been to neighbouring Mos Eisley (Doesnt obi-wan bring him there for the first time?). So, what does that leave us with; Luke moping about the farm all day, whining. "But Aunt Beru, I want to go play with BiiiigggsssStamps feet" "After yours chores, Luke. Go fix that moisture condenser, and get out from under my fucking feet. Then you can go play with Biggs" "But i wanna go Nowwww... This is so unfair!" Hmmm, i think ill pass.
A TV show about Moisture Farmers! Awesome! by fiester	Jun 17th, 2005 02:30:08 PM
Seriously though...that's the stupidest thing I've ever heard. Why not just have it be 24-hour C-SPAN style channel featuring The Galactic Senate. We could all sit riveted by trade treaty filibusters by aliens that are thinly-veiled ethnic stereotypes like the delegate from the planet Linguini: "Hey-a that's-a not-a nice-a meatball!"

I have had it with this fucking site. This is such a load of horseshit, and I don't understand why you don't just verify it through someone, maybe, I don't know, get a second source, maybe, one that's not written IN FUCKING JAPANESE. And how interesting would a LITTLE LUKE story be, hmm? Uh well, he hasn't learned the Force yet, lightsaber what's that, hasn't met Obi-Wan, hangs out with his friends and buys power converters at Toshi Station, gets yelled at by Uncle Owen, learns to check binary readings on moisture vaporators, drinks blue milk, shoots wamp rats on his T-16, gets lost in Beggar's Canyon, studies bones of Krayt Dragons in the Jundland Wastes...hey, there's a winning pitch to a TV network. I smell a hit series! "Hey Quint, let it go."
Dash Rendar by Bubastis	Jun 17th, 2005 02:37:52 PM
took me a while to think of his name. The guy from shadow of the empire, right? He's an arrogant version of han(!) who flies the single coolest ship in the star wars universe (IMHO) called the outrider. and he has a droid companion, called IG... something or other. IG88, i think. Who is like a metal Chewbacca. He's buddies with Han, Lando, is a smuggler so is sure to run into Jabba... The Dash Rendar show! You heard it here first! I would definatley watch this. Pity that they'll probably go for the shitty young luke scenario i bitched about earlier. Or worse, young Leia, remade as an ass-kicking Buffy clone. Shudder.
We don't need really need young Luke. by screenplaywriter	Jun 17th, 2005 02:41:20 PM
The only way I'd like to see him is with Biggs Darklighter and their days as friends before he got shot down in "A NEW HOPE." And if Han Solo is gonna be in this than you might as well bring in a young Bossk and his Trandoshan homies, IG-88, Boba Fett in his 20's or whatever age he is now, and you might as well bring Tarkin back, some of the other Grand Moffs, show the transition between clontroopers now evolving into the stormtroopers, and get back to little CGI, and more of what was used back in the day. I mean "ROTS" was all about returning us back to 1977' well let's go back there with the TV series. Sure, you can use the CGI when needed, but I don't think you really need it with the clonetroopers I mean they look so fake all computer-genered and crap. Lastly, if Lucas is filming 100 episodes with 100 hours. Do you think the public will hold on long with it? Or do you think they'll get bored with seeing space battles, lightsaber duels, dogfights, shootouts, etc. I mean we've taken 6 films with all of these incorporated into it what's to say people aren't bored with it now, or will simply watch this for a bit, and than end it. I mean the Young Indiana Jones Chronicles didn't last too long as a television show. And my other question is this. Since "ROTS" is PG-13, will the series undergo a darker, more adult-oriented tone, or a kid-friendly, set some adult themes thrown in-type tone? I hope the series at least gets a TVPG or TV14 rating because now with television it seems you can get away with just about anything so I hope George wisely chooses using the TV14 rating because it'll bring in more fans and he can just let loose.
It could be brilliant by lex romero	Jun 17th, 2005 02:46:03 PM
don't mind them setting it between episodes 3 and 4 but if they're going to don't include any of the main film characters! We don't want Luke getting into all sort of "entertaing high jinx" on Tatooine. We want stories about bounty hunters and smugglers. We want to see the Empire slowly taking over the Galaxy with groups of Rebels fighting them off. If they have to show some of the major film characters then show us Vadar tracking down and killing the remaining Jedi not Han Solo junior bumping into Chewy junior!

First, there's a clean-up after ROTS. If the rest of the Jedi are killed off as easily as the Council, then that won't be too interesting. Then a bunch of political crap as the Empire takes power. The slow rise of a rebellion isn't as interesting as an actual rebellion, unless they get someone experienced in making political drama interesting, like that Babylon 5 guy, to write it. There are a few interesting bits, like the Fett slaughtering of the Wookies, which they'll never have the balls to film. Young smuggler Han and Lando...I don't know. Sounds like a good Comic book, but a series?
Stupid by Barron34	Jun 17th, 2005 03:08:12 PM
No one wants to see the Original Trilogy characters get screwed up by more Star Wars revisionism. I do not want to see anymore of Luke, Leia, Han, or anyone else from the original movies. Let the first three films and their characters rest in peace. If they are going ahead with this TV series, they should focus on completely new characters, probably Jedi on the run from the new Empire, or Old Republic Jedi fighting Sith. If they involve the Original Trilogy characters in any significant way, I will not watch this stuff. Ugh. I am honestly not interested in any more Star Wars. It has run it's course, I think. A TV series with new characters might work if they get good writers, but I am skeptical at this point.
Uberman - Overkill by Darth Kosher	Jun 17th, 2005 03:18:21 PM
Here we go again. Referring to the good old days that never existed. Everything gets merchandised. Did Beatle Wigs and lunch boxes make their music any less brilliant? What about Pope memorabilia (which does exist). Let me get you a tall ladder to get down off your high horse. Outraged at Star Wars being merchandised? Are you high or just a fucking moron? or a high moron?
STOP! FEEDING! THE! MACHINE! by uberman	Jun 17th, 2005 03:18:31 PM
Anyone here remember the 'Plant of the Apes' TV series that ran after the XXXIII or whatever number it was sequel to the original?
BS by jimmy_009	Jun 17th, 2005 03:19:17 PM
Lucas himself already said it won't feature any main characters from the series.
Apes by Darth Kosher	Jun 17th, 2005 03:22:41 PM
I barely remember it. Didn't the two main humans kind of look like Starsky and Hutch? The movie when the apes came to (then) present day LA reminded me of the Star Wars Holiday Special.
HEEEEEEEEEEE YEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHH by uberman	Jun 17th, 2005 03:27:29 PM
HIIII HOOOOOOOOOOO SILVER...AWAY! Now, Darth...Beatles in the same sentance as Star Wars....It was virtually the same thing, right? How when they did the last record, the all got a line of cereal endorsements, continued to pimp kiddie toys throughout theyre careers, how Harrison tried to get his image and product on every brand name known to man. Yeah...I seem to remember that...or not. The BEATLES grew up. The Kiddie stuff was only ion the start..I dont recall any of that later on. The POPE IS NOT DRIVING HIS MERCHANDISING! LUCAS IS. And BTW: If you want to get nasty, send me your physical address and I will reciprocate. Then we can talk in person and you can be as nasty as you want...
How about a reality-esque scripted show... by Childe Roland	Jun 17th, 2005 03:29:34 PM
...about Imperial Stormtroopers, styled after Cops? They could bust poor dusty trash like Luke's uncle and aunt for violating the empire's strict new sodomy laws and they could show the stormtroopers leading pot-bellied, shirtless Rodians out of trailer parks or they could show walrus man hiding under a Mr. Turtle pool. Am I insane, or did some comedy sketch show (SNL or MAD TV, maybe) actually use this premise and quite amusingly?

I just want my Episodes 7, 8, and 9 by Kikstad	Jun 17th, 2005 03:46:24 PM
Prequels, shmequels, I just want LIVE ACTION CONTINUATIONS OF THE SAGA. Filling in the blanks is cool but come on. What next, episodes BETWEEN Phantam Menace and Attack of the Clones, or BETWEEN New Hope and Empire Strikes back or BETWEEN Empire and Return of the Jedi. Dude, the circle is now complete, so just continue the saga going forward, enough of this looking back stuff. I don't need to SEE how Han met Chewbacca or how Lando lost the Millennium Falcon in a gambling bet or how Luke raced in the canyons of Tattooine and dreamed of better adventures in space. Just show me WHAT HAPPENS NEXT. We have the expanded universe in the books, now give us some live action SEQUELS. Luke, Han, Leia can have cameos, that's fine, it can focus on the next generation, but man, continue the story. My rant is done and the TV show will probably still be amazing. But I just had to get that off my chest. Carry on.

It's not REALLY about Luke by East Coker	Jun 17th, 2005 04:35:33 PM
The reason life was so boring and nothing ever happened to Luke was because he was protected from all kinds of shit he didn't know was lurking around the corner. Obi Wan just kind of took care of it for him - like that dog in Inspector Gadget. So, I think this will be a a very Kenobi-centric show when it comes to the Luke stuff. Note: I hear the most moving episode is when Leia gets her first period (and yes, I hear Lucas wrote that one, too)

Star Wars is now completely dead to me. by Jim Jam Bongs	Jun 17th, 2005 05:35:20 PM
The only good parts of ROTS was the computer effects action sequences -- FACT! EVERYTHING else was shit, and each and every one of you here knows it, and will accept this fact after the movie is released on DVD. And this TV series is also going to be shit. If you have any doubt about it, look at the Ewok TV movies, and the Young Indy Chronicles. Lucas is very ghey for casting little kids and midgets, so expect tons of the former in this show.

hey, i had all but given up on Star Wars too after double barreled missfires of TPM and AOTC, but ROTS caught me doing a 180. i loved it. i just hope that Lucas realizes it's time to hire other people to run with his basic ideas. i mean, Clone Wars animation was great. so i don't see why this wouldn't have potential as well -- as long as good writers and directors are hired.
Nowhere in that article does it say "little" Luke! by ZeroCorpse	Jun 17th, 2005 07:49:15 PM
It says some episodes will focus on how Luke grows up, but that others will focus on how "some people" get together (Chewie and Han meeting, anybody?) --- How you get "little Luke" out of this, I don't understand. Sure, he's going to be a kid for a few years, but he's also going to be a teen for several years before ANH. We know he did some adventurous things- His Uncle Owen was worried that Luke had too much of an adventurous streak. We know Luke is a great starfighter pilot BEFORE he leaves with Kenobi, which indicates he's done some flying IN SPACE, though not in Hyperspace. He tells Han he could buy a ship and fly it himself, remember? So what's wrong with seeing a 16-year-old Luke breaking his Uncle's rules and flying into the space around Tatooine on some "damn, fool adventure"? I think it would be cool to see Luke and Biggs as young men. I'd love to see Han liberate Chewbacca from the Empire. I'd love to see what Kenobi's up to while he's stuck on Tatooine. So Lucas made the Ewok TV movies, and YES, they were meant for kids. So what? You all act like Star Wars has to be all "adult" and badass, or it's failing you somehow. Just fuck off with your "Lucas raped my childhood" bullshit. If you expect some sort of PG-13 badass Jedi fighting show, you're not a Star Wars fan. You've totally missed the point of the Star Wars series if you expect something other than the serial pulp adventures of larger-than-life characters in a pseudo-scifi setting. Stick to Vin Diesel movies if you want badass. Star Wars is supposed to be fun. I say bring it on, and I'll watch.

Set on one ship? by performingmonkey	Jun 17th, 2005 08:25:24 PM
I like the idea that the series could be about the crew of a single ship. Most series are like that anyway. How 'bout Jimmy Smitts as the main character aboard the Tantive blockade runner (the ship featured at the end of Episode 3 and at the beginning of Episode 4)? With Threepio and Artoo, get some fuck-up actor to play Captain Antilles and some whiny-but-hot bitch to play the love interest. And set much of it on Bail's home planet of Alderaan. Also, a whiny little girl to play a young Leia. I don't want Tatooine because it should only be done if they go film in Tunisia, which they won't because this is a TV show for fuck's sake. Another good idea would be Boba Fett and his ship, Slave 1. It's a fairly iconic ship that fans recognize, although so is the Tantive. But there's a lot of fanboy jerk-off fantasies about Boba Fett so it might be a good idea to go with him. It could show how he captures Chewie from Kashyyyk and how Han rescues him. Then Boba is hunting down Han for 24 episodes (6 of them being actual plot ones, with 18 shitty fillers).
I can see it now: a Sex and the City set in the SW Universe by krullboy	Jun 17th, 2005 08:32:15 PM
Leia will be the "Carrie" character, confused in her relationships, distraught over losing fuck buddies. . .her "Mr. Big" could be partially shaved Wookie that introduces her to the joys of Wookiee anal sex on the beaches of Kashyyyk. . .Mon Monthma would be the "Miranda" character, a smart red head too focused on her career to notice the people that care about. Mon Monthma would pass bills in the Senate by day, and fuck the fat Twilek Senator by night. A Twilek chick could play the slut part done by Kim Catrall. . .a Twilek corporate executive sleeping her way to the top. I could definitely see her sealing a Tabanna gas contract by fucking Lando (played by Taye Diggs) on Cloud City, then shagging a few Ugnaughts for spite. Bail Organa's wife could be the "Charlotte" character, a woman that marries a guy that can't get it up, thereby explaining why the Organa's had to adopt. She converts to Druishism and marris a Druish prince to have kids. . . .and fat, lonely, single chicks all over America will eat it up, and thnk that buying Prada purses and Mahlono Blahnkick shoes will make them sophisticated.

Okay, Fanboys, I GUARANTEE You'd Watch a Sweeps Month Episod by MrStinger	Jun 17th, 2005 09:19:15 PM
Owen Lars closes the cover of a moisture vaporator, wipes his face with a rag, then raises a grimy hand to his forehead. He turns away from his house toward the vast, featureless expanse of desert that he owns, squinting in the harsh light of twin suns. Realization, then mortal fear flash on his face as he turns to the young woman still working on a nearby unit and whispers harshly, "Beru, get inside. Take the boy with you. Now!" As she walks with the child toward a familiar desert homestead, Owen stares fixedly at the object of his fear: a black-caped silhouette kneeling before a weathered gravestone, flanked by two Imperial troopers, all silent except for the ominous sound of mechanically-assisted breathing. Roll credits.

Han Solo & Chewbacce, or Princess Leia Organa by Wookie_Weed	Jun 17th, 2005 11:17:05 PM
A younger Luke wouldn't work -- it'd kill the Joseph Campbell mythology of Star Wars: A New Hope. Now, how did Han Solo meet Chewbacca? What adventures did Han and Lando get up to? What was the fateful game of poker like when Han won the Millennium Falcon? There's so much background story for Han and Chewie that it would make a terrific film franchise in itself. The potential for a tv series based on Han's youth smuggling & dealing would make a fantastic tv series. We also have Leia's background story. Her youth on Aldebaran. How she came to lead the rebel alliance is an especially big story arc that would make a terrific tv series. INDIANA JONES. Harrison Ford mentioned he would like to pass on the whip and fedora to a younger actor, ala the James Bond franchise. I have an actor in mind. MATTHEW FOX. Seeing him on Lost, with the ripped shirt, three-day stubble and scratched cheek, running through the jungle -- he's perfect to play Indy. I even considered him way back in the Party Of Five Days -- hey, laugh it up fuzzball! I'm serious. There's something Harrison Ford-ish about him. So George, give me a call, and I'll start working on the backstory for Indy and Professor Ravenswood, and his young daughter Marion ....

Episodes 7, 8, and 9 by Bobo_Vision	Jun 18th, 2005 08:09:17 AM
If Lucas does create episodes 7,8, and 9 he should make them animated films, because the prequels were about half animated anyhow, and the worst thing about them was some of the acting. Also, this way Harrison Ford can still do action scenes at that time. On a side note, one of the things that was wrong with the prequels was the aesthetics. One of the great things about the original trilogy was that things didn't look pristine, shiny, and new, as they did in other sci-fi movies, as if they had just come out of a factory (or prop department). Things were beat up, old, and dirty, as you would expect. With all the CGI in the prequels, things looked pristine, shiny, and new -- and basically looked animated. If CGI can't create 100% reality or close to it, like in Titanic or Jurassic Park, then don't use it. If you're conscious of the fact that you're watching CGI, then you might as well be watching an animated kiddies film. One last thing, the reason they announced 100 hours of TV episodes has nothing to do with the creative process. 100 is the magic number of episodes needed to get a syndication deal. If a show gets cancelled before creating 100 episodes, they normally do not go into syndication, and they miss out on the wads and wads of syndication cash.

The honeymoon's over!"
Everything was pristine, shiny and new, Bobo_Vision. by I Dunno	Jun 18th, 2005 10:40:03 AM
The PT was set in senate chambers, luxury aparments & offices, new starships and state of the art facilities. Although Tatooine still looked grubby. The OT was set in beat up ships, military bases and the hideouts of guerillas & gangsters. Although the Imperial settings were pristine and shiny, as was Cloud City. But thanks for playing.
Why? by kwisatzhaderach	Jun 18th, 2005 11:08:44 AM
This is depressing. As a long time Star Wars fan leave the films alone. Create a new series using the Star Wars universe not the characters we already know. By all means have some film characters pop in now and again, Boba Fett etc but please don't do a Young Indy on us George! Man its my birthday and i'm depressed!!!! I am the Kwisatz Haderach.

I love the "it made so much money" argument for ROTS. by one9deuce	Jun 18th, 2005 01:11:51 PM
It is a piss-poor film, and even making a zillion dollars at the box-office won't change that. And I don't care WHERE the Prequel Trilogy is set, it doesn't look real. No rationalization will change that. It looks like sets built on a stage and CGI. The original Star Wars had a genius for a set designer (John Barry) who set the tone for the whole Original Trilogy. The Prequel Trilogy has Gavin Bocquet. Look up his credits on IMDB, a bunch of television and a few shitty looking features. The Prequel Trilogy looks like an episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation because George Lucas was too cheap to hire the best or even someone great to be the Production Designer. As far as the television series is concerned, who cares if he does young Luke? Star Wars is already dead, and has been since 1997.

Mark Hamill, Jake Lloyd, Andy Serkis!! by Mac an Cheanna	Jun 18th, 2005 03:06:03 PM
Lucas could re-hire Mark Hamill to play the younger version of himself! All it would take is a little liposuction and plastic surgery to be done to Hamill to play a teenager, but Lucas can easily afford it... Failing that, Mark Hamill could wear a 'green screen cloth' over his face so that his facial features can be reproduced entirely in CGI in post production! That could make him look younger!! Or get Jake Lloyd to play the young Luke!! Or Andy Serkis, who could record the physical movements for the young Luke to be animated afterwards in CGI. The possibilities are endlessly bad!!
TATTOOINE TEENS 90210 by Mac an Cheanna	Jun 18th, 2005 03:17:22 PM
Episode 96: (Teen Jabba develops an eating disorder after being teased by the young Greedo about his weight.) Luke has a heart to heart talk with Jabba after discovering his dark secret. Heart warming music plays in the background as the suns set on Tattoine High... Jabba (to Luke): "I eat because I'm unhappy... and I'm unhappy because I eat. It's a vicious cycle"... Luke: "You're a beautiful person on the inside, Jabba, and that's what counts". Jabba: "Ah, Luke! I love you, man! I hope that we'll be friends forever... forever... forever". (Dark, ominous music plays on the soundtrack indicating that this may not be the case). Lucas marvels at his ingenuity, in tying up so may loose ends...
Han and Lando! by tonytodd	Jun 18th, 2005 03:20:10 PM
