Author	Topic: Zahn Trilogy with CG (Speculative)
Soothsayer Registered: Sep '99	Date Posted: 6/1 4:04pm Subject: Zahn Trilogy with CG (Speculative)
	I just thought of something when watching the trailer for the Star Wars The Old Republic videogame which has some great CG if interested...well it got me thinking. How interested would people be if the Zahn Trilogy was made into a movie using CG rather that live action as we know we could never replace Han, Luke and Co with new actors. I for one think if done correctly could be very entertaining. I was just curious if anyone else has ever thought of this and what your take on something like that would be.

	I'd certainly watch it, were they to make such... but I think I'd rather them make new material instead. -----signature----- The Arena's Favorite Baseball Player Tournament - Come vote! http://boards.theforce.net/the_arena/b10777/29864047/p1/ I approve of NYCitygurl's sig

	I did think about it too. Back in the day of Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within I thought it'd be nice if Lucas and his empire would lean towards making expanded universe classics into, at least, cg mini-series. The Zahn Trilogy and/or Shadows of the Empire would be good starting points imho. Now with the SW:TOR cinematic released today, it's clear Lucas should bet heavily on CG to continue the SW Legacy. But, as much as I love Lucas and his universe, he should leave the direction and writing to others. I'm going a bit off-topic, but that cinematic is everything EP I, II and III should have been but fell REAL short. -----signature----- banned yearly [for unexplained reasons] since '03

	I agree that the chances of it happening are slim to none. They could really be the first mainstream full CG movies that are not kid Pixar based and you know LFL along with ILM could do some incredible CG. For me, I would love to see things post ROTJ. I know ROTJ has the perfect ending point, but the material out there (books) are still better than any thing we have scene in a long time. While I enjoy TCW and am looking forward to the live action show I do sometimes grow a bit tired of the prequel era, which is why I would like a fresh time period.

	Does anyone remember this from 2007? Tales of the New Republic It looked so good and we thought it was legit, then it turned out to be a project someone was working on. But it looked like they were going to go into events after ROTJ, with Thrawn and other stuff from the Zahn books. This would've been so sweet. I was really disappointed when this was fake, and Lucas decides to cram more Clone Wars down our throats. -----signature----- "Live every week like it's Shark Week."

I didn't like the style of the character design and the animation was not THAT good. However, as a fan-made project it is without a doubt a pretty good result they got there as far as a technical achievement goes. One thing I never really understood was what did the clone troopers, etc were doing there, as well as other prequel character references, maybe a summary of what happened in the older movies or something... but still, didn't make that much sense either. -----signature----- banned yearly [for unexplained reasons] since '03

	I would like to see more of the Knights of the old Republic and Tales of the Jedi series in CG like the way the made Beowulf into that kind of format. Shadows of the Empire would be kinda cool. -----signature----- "Just when I thought I was out , they push me back in." I never liked micheal Jackson and he was always a looney.

	Your right the CG on that was gorgeous and that would be a great series to do it with. I'd personally see them as full length films rather than tv shows. Gives a more fulfilling feel to it. It would be cool to see Joruus C'baoth and the Noghri in CG. And I'd love to see how they would do Talon Kaarde. But more than likely it's nothing but wishful thinking. -----signature----- Zarkin: adjective; describing how awesomely cool and towel-conscious a person is.

I remember 15 years ago or however long ago it was that I read the Zahn books I always imagined Thrawn as Alec Baldwin.

	some how I have always thought of the cg trailer as a 2 part effort to 1. promote the game in a epic, cool and fresh way 2. Try to force lucas eys up when it comes tho cg and the possibility to do something more with star wars Guess i still lives in the dark on topic I would love a cg movie based on zahn. Currently reading heir to the empire (guess I have to thank the clone wars series for promoting it) But i do hope they updates the series to make then fitt better with the movies and comics (it's been some time since he wrote them, although I do not think there is a problem with conflicting stories)
