Darthbane2007 posted: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.
KithuraVess posted: I just think the OT and PT are in danger of being "killed", if you know what I mean; so many books, games, etc. centre on it, and we already know mostly what happened afterwards and just before, thanks to the EU. Hammering on them even more would make it lose what mystery they retain.

darth_degnan posted:To whomever who will listen, I love Star Wars. Just as many many people do. I want nothing more than to continue reading and watching Star Wars for many years to come. The direction of Star Wars has been in question as of late. Whether or not I agree with that assertion, I do believe that the franchise needs to take a new direction. My idea, probably someone has already though, would help take the franchise to a new level. After the Clone Wars has been finished, and the live action series is under way, Lucasfilm will once again be in the familiar place of "where do we go from here, if anywhere." I believe, and I am sure every single Star Wars fan does as well, that the story of Star Wars should not end. After Return of the Jedi was released, Star Wars fans were left to wonder what happened to Luke, Leia, Han, and everyone else from the Trilogy. Not until Timothy Zahn published Heir to the Empire did Star Wars fans have any official storyline concerning the Original Trilogy's heroes. Since Zahn's trilogy, countless novels and comics have been published. Some good, some bad, but none have come close to capturing the actual feeling that the Original Trilogy gave us like Timothy Zahn's trilogy. Zahn masterfully creates a story that takes readers to a familiar galaxy far far away. Now if Lucasfilm was to make a movie about Luke, Leia, and Han; the chance of recasting the same actors is virtually impossible. However, since Lucasfilm loves computer animation, the characters could once again be brought to the big screen, just not in the same sense. I am not talking about the recent computer animation used in The Clone Wars though. I am thinking more along the lines of the computer animation used in the Final Fantasy movie that was released a few years ago. And if possible, Lucasfilm rounds up as many of the Original Trilogy actors to do the voices. The result of this would certainly be a success. Star Wars movies are obviously a hit. Zahn's books were New York Times bestsellers. Combine both and you have an instant cash cow. If Lucasfilm was to actually go through with this idea, there are two ways it could be accomplished. Now I mean no offense by this, but what I am about to say is something that many many people/critics have stated. The writing in the most recent Star Wars releases has been amateur to say the least. If Lucasfilm would consult with Zahn, even ask him to write the script, the problem that the latest releases have been accused of would most likely be avoided. The story is there. The demand is there. Star Wars fans would absolutely love to see the Original Trilogy characters back in action. Let's not forget, the story did start with them. The story of Darth Vader has been told. Fortunately for everyone, that doesn't mean the story of Star Wars ends. Thank you for reading.
