yes or no.


We've had several different threads about different animated series users would like to see in the future. I'm going to consolidate them into this thread. All discussion about KOTOR series, Shadows of the Empire, Jedi Purge, etc. go here. Thanks, G_M.

no. If they're going to make another animated series, PLEASE make it sometime after RotJ !!!!! I won't even ask for specifics! tongue Just something after that time. I'm not sick of the PT-era stuff, I just would really love to see something post RotJ praying

anyway, I can see the live-action series focusing at least slightly on the great jedi purge.

yeah. The Vong stuff has SO much potential if they ever wanted to do anything with it.

For those who want a post RotJ show...


Given how Lucas has dealt with the EU in the films and TCW, can you imagine the fan outrage that would result from such a show? It would be as if millions of EU fan voices cried out in terror, and were suddenly silenced.


To borrow from another thread...

Writers: Whew, we're finally finished with the outline for our 5 season CG animated show about [insert major EU story here].
*door opens*
Lucas: Nope. Palpy was the last of the Sith. Thrawn never existed. And the whole concept of the Yuuzhan Vong (and the ysalamirii too for that matter) totally doesn't work given how I say the Force works. After Episode 6 the most significant problem faced by the galaxy as a whole is smugglers.
*door shuts*
*door opens*
Lucas: But they are mean smugglers.
*door shuts*


As for a show during the purge, that might be interesting.

Isn't most of the EU non-canon anyway since Lucas didn't endorse it?

As far as I know the inly things he gave approval to are the light side male ending of KOTOR, Chewie dying and the storyline for The Force Unleashed.

Everything else is fun to read, but Lucas can contradict it all he wants since he never wrote the EU stuff and most of it wasn't his idea. If it doesn't fit with what he wants to do why shouldn't he change it?

To answer the OP, no. I'm good with ROTS, although I wish they re-added Vader killing Shaak Ti in the Jedi Temple.

In terms of canon, here are my rankings:

Official Canon: The movies
Lesser Canon: TCW
Up for Debate: CW Series, Video Games and Novels before ROTJ
Alternate Universe: Novels Post ROTJ

Agreed - (and before the EU 'purist' jump on us, yes, we know that LFL considers the EU 'official'...)

Really, I don't want to see the 'Purge' either, but some OT era Rebellion stories would be very cool to have if done in the same style.

Don't mind either way.

I'd prefer an animated series set during the three years between EpIV and V

I'd rather see the Jedi Purge in the Live Action Series.

As for anything post RotJ - it would have to be something totally new, because the existing post-RotJ EU totally raped Star Wars. All that nonsense about it being okay to use the Dark side for the greater good etc.... it completely contradicts everything we've seen in the films. Don't even get me started on the Vhong nonsense.

Glad I'm not the only one who thinks so.

I'd rather not see an animated series set during the purge. I rather just leave that to the LA show. Seeing a show about Luke re-establishing the Jedi Order and the early New Republic days would be nice. And for something like that animation would work better (Could you imagine the nightmare of trying to cast new actors to play the OT characters). I tend to pretend the stories after the Vong War ends don't exist (excepting the Legacy comics, I love those), so any show dealing with that junk would be a waste. Sometimes the best thing is a happy ending. And Luke and friends really needed one.

The problem is that I don't think most people asking for a series dealing with the Great Jedi Purge (which is what I think they're REALLY wanting, not just one set between Ep 3 and 4) stop and realize that either:

1) The show will focus on a bunch of characters basically doomed to die. There is no chance of them ever winning or even surviving because of canon.

2) If they DON'T follow canon and have a bunch of surviving Jedi, then the "purists" will have a hissy fit.
