CG in Pre-Prequel Movie

With this SMALL buzz going on about a Pre-Prequel movie, what are all your thoughts on what it will look like if it is done in say ten years. Will it do to the original trilogy what the PT did to the OT? People were amazed for years after the OT, but now it obviously looks old. Guess I can't fathom how these movies will be outdone-thoughts...

Strilo edit: We have a Prequel to TPM thread in the SW Community forum already.

 

A pre-prequal movie? all i can say is they had better not. I say star wars is at and end. If anything, I would like to see furthur into the series, but i realize that can't be done.

 

KOTOR wouldnt make a bad tv series, though. how about that.

 

KOTOR would be great as a tv series. Its got the story, and some very cool characters. I think it might be better to do it as a series rather than a movie because then there would be more freedom

 

oh please, it takes cg a few months before it starts to look dated, considering that before they do anything else they're re-releasing the entire 6 movie saga in thearters one at a time, all over again, it could be ten or twenty years before they get around to another movie,
I doubt cg, if it isn't completly outdated by that time, will look anything like it does now

 

If they do make some kind of pre-prequel film series, or tv movie, or tv series or whatever...i sure as hell hope we have to wait less than 10 years or so for it!

 

Just out of curiousity, what would you call the pre-prequil trilogy? episode (-)I, (-)II, (-)III??

I mean can you even have negative roman numerals? (-;

 

Episode 0.1

Or mabye more drastically, don't call it Star wars...so it becomes 'Knights of the Old Republic - Episodes 1-3' etc

 

Lucas would just renumber everything and say he always meant to do this. He would introduce a new video format and make sure the old ones couldn't be transfered to it and suddenly they would all have new numbers. Remember in 1979 how Star Wars mysteriously became "Episode III: A New Hope" after we had all seen it at least ten times in the theater in 1977 as just plain old Star Wars! Lucas has become such a good liar and rewritten the history of his own universe so many times, it is hard to even notice it anymore.

 

Knights of the Old Republic would make a good television series. Keep George Lucas away from it and it should be great.

 

Just don't get Keira Knightley to play Bastilla, plz!

 

Ok, so I heard at some point that George Lucas was considering making another prequel set much further back with Yoda as the hero. Well I was thinking about a logical prequel to what we've already seen and come up with my own little story outline. I was hoping a little critique, and maybe some advice before I send it to GL for his approval. Here goes:

Star Wars: A New Beginning
Our hero, we shall call him Dak Sheehan is a former Jedi that left the order because he fell in love at a very youing age. He chose to leave the Jedi, feeling that he missed out on much of his childhood training as a padawan, he was always uncertain of the Jedi's dogmatic training. He now employs himself as a bounty hunter, using his powerful yet unrefined Jedi skills to negotiate deals between gangsters and bring criminals to justice. During his adventures, he is hired by a young, rather ambitious man that shows great natural force wielding abilities. He brefriends the young man, who we shall call gus. During their conversations, they both brood over the lack of options for those attuned to the force, with the Jedi order being the only so-called legitimate use for their talents. Dak shares with Gus a brief story about the ancient order called the Sith.

Act two: Dak travels with Gus to his home on Coruscant, naturally he met his wife there as he was a young Jedi in training. While there the two seperate and Dak, who has always had the force strong with him feels a strange tremor of the dark side while travelling through the city. It is almost as if he feels somewhat overcome by the darkside for a moment and then it passes. During this time, we also see Dak interact with Yoda, who at just over 800 years old is still a very imposing force amongst the Jedi counsil. He also meets a younger Mace Windu and has a rough encounter with his former master, Mag Shindoor. It is clear from these conversations that the pacing of this film is much slower and relaxed than previous star wars films. We see in Dak a true human quality of his desire to be greater than he is but remain with his family. We fast forward about 5 years. At the end of act 2, Dak is called out on another job that takes him to the planet of Kessel. He meets up with the gangster Miser DeNooth, whom he is supposed to capture. During the ensuing battle, Dak is wounded and left unconsious as DeNooth escapes in his space cruiser.

Act Three: Dak is able to stow aboard a smuggler ship carrying spices from kessel to the planet Alderaan. There he is able to find medical treatment for his wounds. He quickly returns home to Coruscant to find his home in ruins, and his wife and children murdered. It is obviously the work of DeNooth. His first thoughts are revenge, but he knows that the dark side lurks in this thought. As he has lost all he loved and cared for he goes to Mag Shindoor to plead for the chance to return to the Jedi order. He feels that he has finally found the humility needed to give himself to the Jedi fully. Shindoor reacts coldly and denies his plea. He shows little sympathy for his former padawan. When Shindoor reports his encounter to Yoda, he is informed that there is a rougue space cruiser that has taken hostages of a medical freighter near Sullist. He dispatches Shindoor to investigate and free the hostages. Meanwhile Dak is hovering closer and closer to the dark side. His thoughts of revenge are only fueled by the rejection of the Jedi. He packs his personal shuttle in preparation to begin a search for Miser DeNooth, and as he is ready to leave, he receives a visit from Yoda. Yoda has come to tell him that his former master has lost contact with the Jedi during his investigation on Sullist. He was aware of his desire to rejoin the Jedi, and convinces him that by going to find and safeguard his master would be a great step in coming back into the fold. Dak travels to Sullist where he finds the freighter orbiting the planet and he sees his old master's personal craft docked there. He enters to find his old friend Gus standing over the dead body of Shindoor. It is now tha
