	Final Fantasy's Sid still looks great. In Beowulf only the dragon did and I've never seen a real-life dragon. Also. Which is probably partly why they went for a highly stylized look for Clone Wars, so that there's no chance people would think it attempts "realism". And yet people complain about the lack of realism. Blind people, if you ask me... -----signature----- We do what we must Because we can For the good of all of us Except the ones who are dead

When the movie came out, the animation looked good. At this point, it can be assumed that it could be/is already high improved. But I am not a computer animator like you so I could be wrong... I think you missed the point of the post. -----signature----- The great enemy of clear language is insincerity.

	A little while ago, I might have wanted to see more episodes of the saga. Now, though, I don't think they have it in them. I thought The Clone Wars was a colossal failure, and that the saga seems to be geared towards appealing to kids now. As much as it'd be nice to have live action Star Wars on the big screen again, I don't think it would be successfully (discounting the monetary success it would inevitably bring, of course ). -----signature----- Star Wars: Episode I - The Chosen One (my fan fic) http://boards.theforce.net/the_saga/b10476/30225011/p1/?3

I'm with you there. I few years back I would have embraced the idea that is being presented here, but after the PT simply can't get behind the idea of any Lucas film. He has simply lost the magic he once had as a story teller. Now if you tell me that the staff of Bioware is going to get together with Zahn and make a SW film with little input from GL I would probably be on board with the idea. I loved the Thrawn Trilogy and I thought KOTOR had a much richer and more compelling story that any PT film or even all three PT films combined. -----signature----- "I am altering the Original Trilogy.

Many people have already chastised me for being a "Lucas hater." If he were to take a back seat though, I think the project could be done in the same fashion as the OT. -----signature----- The great enemy of clear language is insincerity.

	Yes... The Yuuzhan Vong War period...That would be great. It's such an in-depth, "whole galaxy-involved" time, that it could stand alone on it's own as a story...and would introduce a great and exotic new set of characters...from another GALAXY! That even just SOUNDS interesting... Plus any new trilogy would HAVE to be that timeframe, about 30 years later after ROTJ-given the ages of Ford, Fisher and Hamill...But I could see it working! They could be in the movie, but not necessarily play a MAJOR part, as their kids (who, by that time would be between 19-22 years old-just as Luke and Leia, around episodes IV and V) and they could play a more prominent role...I mean, there's lots that could make it stand on its own: Chewbacca's fate, The New Republic in place, the new and growing New Jedi Order, luke in Yoda's place on the Jedi council, Leia with her knowledge of the Force but serving as Senator, Han, Lando, the young ones, everything! I know it's totally farfetched and will never happen, but it would be GREAT to have a VII-IX...if nothing else but to enjoy all the anticipation and everything again... -----signature----- There are NO trilogies - only ONE SAGA...

	To actually see Star Wars on the big screen...Star Wars, returning once again... The Clone Wars was my first ever Star Wars big screen experience, and just thinking of the prospect of three more films, it hurts. I wish with all my heart that it would be so. -----signature----- To be a true poet is to become God. - Dan Simmons Now bring me that horizon. - Capt.

	I'm sure that most Star Wars fans would like to see more movies, but at the same time, I don't think it can be done. I see what you're saying about making it an animated film like Final Fantasy, but it just wouldn't have the same magic. Anyway, that's my opinion. -----signature----- "There is no charge for awesomeness.....or attractiveness." Former Padawan of MsLanna / now I'm a Jedi Knight! Isaiah 41:10

	The only way I see a future SW movie even being as remotely successful as the first 3 and to a lesser extent, the PT ( Not that I think any less of them; I like them all) is if we were to do a KOTOR like movie set during KOTOR times or the Great Sith War. A period where you had hundreds of Jedi and many Sith Lords battle it out for control of the galaxy. Characters such as Revan, Malak, Ulic Qel Droma, an other characters. I would love for a sequel trilogy, but I don't think that would be feasible. We already have a whole bunch of novels, short stories, and comics dealing with The Trio's adventures, and I don't think Hamill, Fisher, or Ford would be willing to get back behind the camera to do Star Wars again.

	Where could the story go with any sequel episodes? The movies are clear that the Sith and the Empire are the antagonists. If you bring the Sith or the Empire back, you pretty much made the story from the first six movies useless. What do you guys want a trilogy on a bounty hunter or gangsters like the Hutts? I'd pass. No thanks. I don't doubt that one day there could be additional movies, but no sequels. -----signature----- JediLight Near Marathon on 06-09-08 (ROTJ short) Best Episodes: ROTS, ESB; Underrated: TPM; Overrated: AOTC, ANH

	I wouldn't be opposed to someone down the line buying the rights to the series from Lucas (or his estate) and making more films out of it. Lucas himself is allowed to make more CT-era or intertrilogy-era movies if and only if they resemble RotS and not TPM. I think some of what makes the KOTOR material so fascinating is the fact that it's not based on much anything in the films and the writers have near-unlimited freedom. If Lucas made a film set in that era, it's a safe bet that he wouldn't make any concessions to EU and the entire timeline would be changed. Be careful what you wish for, KOTOR film proponents. -----signature----- "Sci Fi has been associated with geeks and dysfunctional, antisocial boys in their basements with video games and stuff like that, as opposed to... the female audience." ~~ SPOILER-FREE TILLLL EPISODE IV "there aren't that many Ls in til." - farraday
