nett40 posted:I think the new Star Wars live-action TV series 1st Season should be an edited re-released version of all the 3 movies of the Prequel-Trilogy. The 3 movies should be turned into approx. 20 episodes of 30 minutes each. George Lucas would have to add quite a few more scenes, more in-depth portrayals of the other Jedi and lots of long battle-scenes. As I see it, the story-arc can easily take this. There are plenty of untold stories in Revenge of the Sith alone. How does the Alliance begin? A better description of some of the other Jedis last battles, Aayla Secura, Plo Kloon and others. But also what becomes of Asokha and Rex? A few episodes with a younger Anakin and Obi Wan in the decade between Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones, would also be enjoyable. What about an episode with Sifo Diyas' mission to Kamino, and how Darth Sidious had him killed!
nett40 posted:By doing this George Lucas would give SW-fans a fantastic new TV-series with the evil super villain DARTH VADER. This would allow us to view new awsome battles and adventures each week, as the evil Empire struggles against heroic freedom fighters, Hutt crime lords and Jedi survivors.
nett40 posted: A re-release on DVD of the original trilogy in an un-edited version (digitalized and re-polished of course). With the original movie posters from 1977, 1980 and 1983, as covers. The re-release should include both the original movie-version, as well as the director's cut version. "STAR WARS - Episode IV - A New Hope" should simply be called STAR WARS as it was named in 1977. Episode V should simply be The Empire Strikes Back in a yellow Star Wars "box" (like it was originally) and Episode VI should also just be Return Of The Jedi, also in the yellow Star Wars "box" and with no episode designation.
nett40 posted: George Lucas could then use the episode designation for his live-action TV-series instead, just emagine... STAR WARS EPISODE XVIII "Order 66"

Darth_Morder posted:Of course, and the reason he spent millions of dollars and time in making the prequels the way he didn't want them to be was because he was pulling a joke on us, the fans, right?

Laserhead posted:Gry Sarth posted:nett40 posted:...he could turn Star Wars into something like Star Trek or Serenity. And just WHY would anybody want THAT? my thoughts exactly. Even though there were plans by George for a saga consisting of 9 to 12 episodes, plans have changed. Star Wars always suffered mutations, and I don't see any more movies coming. If they do, as much as I love George, I hope he doesn't directs them.
Laserhead posted:Also, I thought the release of the unaltered but remastered original trilogy was going to happen. I haven't heard anything about it in a while though, so I have no idea what happened with that. But still, the whole poster and yellow box thingy is unnecessary. In my opinion though, the Special Edition is the best... most of the tweaking was reasonable and added a lot to the movie. Everything that came after it was just raping the movie over and over again.

Dark_Lord_THX_1138 posted:Your ideas to make the prequels into mini episodes will never, ever happen. George has had enough of that time period and won't want to go back and make complete re-makes of films that already stressed him out to the bone before. Why would he spend hundreds of millions of dollars on the prequels and then go back and effectively re-make them?
