Discussion Will Disney/Lucasfilm remake Episodes I-III and/or IV-VI?

Then again....they already remade the prequels. Its called X Men: First Class

Come on change bits and pieces of XM:FC and it can totally work as a star wars prequel. They're both basicly about a good guy turning into a villain with a funny helmet.

 

Disney has complete creative control over the property, they can do anything they want.

 

Reboot the whole damn thing...in anime

 

I have almost no doubt in my mind that it will happen, but I think it will be decades from now. Kids in the year 2050 will find both the PT and OT dated and boring, George will be dead, and Disney will see the chance to make a billion or two.

 

Complete creative control, they were never going to spend that kind of money on a property that they can't control

 

He plans to put himself into carbon freeze after Episode IX comes out.

 

I don't actually think that they will, but as to whether or not they control the property and can do whatever they want, they absolutely do.

 

Do Not Want.

 

It's called TCW

 

Its never going to happen!!!!!!!!!

 

They have "unfettered control" over the property. It's that simple. It's right there in black and white. There is nothing ambiguous about it.

 

I've always thought it would be interesting to see a full-scale retelling of the "Star Wars" story, but in another medium. Especially after seeing the quality of work done in TCW, the ideal way to "remake" the saga might eventually be in animation, and specifically animation for television. Take each of the movies, convert the plot into a season's worth of half-hour shows, and have at it. This might actually benefit some of the movies whose plots are more on the episodic side (TPM and ESB especially-- it could solve that nagging "how long was Luke training?" question). With animation you'd have the ability to remain true to the visual substance of the films while embellishing things, putting a new spin on them. It's not really necessary as a whole, but it could be worse.

But just plain remaking the films in live action? Stupid. Even worse, the idea of remaking just one trilogy, as some kind of fanboy revisionism. Enough of this whiney, spoiled entitlement.

 

If I had the choice between a new story and a remake, I'd chose a new story every single time. That goes for SW and anything else. But hey ... that's me.

 

Except for the legal red-tape between them, Fox and Warner Bros on the pre-existing 6 films and TCW.

 

I love this sentence.

 

Please leave starwars as is. they can remake spaceballs if they want .

 

What part of unfettered is unclear. You guys see what you want to see. The quote is clear. "UNFETTERED"

 

I've wanted a Spaceballs version of the Prequels for the longest time!

 

No remakes....besides that would be a really stupid thing to attempt.

 

You wouldn't even have to change JAR JAR for that prequel. Just leave him as is.

 

They have control over the title and the characters. They can just reboot it at will. They don't need distribution rights to the original films, they wouldn't be the original films.
