    Now some may disagree with this, especially none Lord of the Rings fans who havent watched the special edition DVD... BUT...

    what if we had Peter Jackson and his WETA crew do Star Wars 1-6. Now this may come as bit of a shock but he would really make them kick ass. I mean i love the OT tons and the PT i like but i really thing that Peter Jackson could do a whole lot of stuf that Lucas hasnt done. Or maybe he could just do 1-3.

    C'mon talk to me Star Wars and LotR fans. I know Star Wars fans who dont know Lord of the Rings prolly wont like this but the LotR fans may. What Do u thing?

    Let Peter Jackson mess with Tolkien's stuff. He's not that brilliant a director, and shouldn't be part of Star Wars.

    I applaud you RichMeister. You've definitley got sand, boy. lol....however...I don't think you understand the magnitude of the storm you are calling down on yourself to even suggest that the LOTR director should do any SW film.

    You shouldn't base PJ's talents solely on LOTR, from what I hear, his other films really suck.

    I would love to see that. I mean GL is a genius, but his directing leaves a little to be desired. I think PJ would do a decent job. However, if it's not broke, which it isn't, don't fix it.

    Right, but what im saying his all he really did with LotR is adjust it to fit the big screen. I'm saying have PJ adjust Star Wars the way he did LotR. Move a couple things around here and there, omit this, add that, nothing too huge. Of course he would do his own casting and stuf, but i think you get the picture.

    I'm glad some of you are open to the idea. Besides all this stuf is purely theorectial. I highly doubt that the only one doing tampering with Star Wars will be Lucas.

    Heavenly Creatures is a great film. If you haven't seen it yet, go rent it now!

    I'm happy with both sagas the way they are. The differences are what makes them unique.

    If... IF any director, other than George Lucas, was to direct a Star Wars film, it should be Kevin Smith. He is the only good director that has the respect for Star Wars to create a great film.

    Lucas directed Star Wars, both Empire and Jedi had different directors but Lucas was heavily involved as executice producer and wrote the story

    The only thing i really dont like about lucas is the special editions he has for the OT. They really dont make the films any better, theyre pretty much just a bunch of tweaks and added cgi effects that dont really fit in.

    I just think he should have waited till the prequels where all out to do things like that

    So True, Here i come...



    LOTR is a buch of [insert bannable word here]. Simply, he didnt come up with the idea himself, and if you ask me didnt put it together well. The battles go on and on which kinda deviates from Tolkins Origional theme.

    BTW im refferring to the LOTR only because i dont give him enough Credit to see another of his movies.

    Heavenly Creatures is a great film. If you haven't seen it yet, go rent it now!

    Why? Whats so good about it?

    Peter Jackson's LOTR was just an adaptation of the books. Okay, the scale of the thing was huge, but that doesn't mean he'd do a good job with Star Wars.

    I don't like LOTR, and I think the only man who has the right to alter Star Wars is Lucas himself.

    I agree any tweaking to the OT would have been better accepted in a set of Episodes 1-6. But do things like Greedo shooting at Han first, and zoom out shots of stormtroopers riding large tatooine creatures really add anything to the films?

    Becuz Peter Jackson did not create LOTR is part of why ive proposed this. He has adapted an extremely successful book series to the movies. And although you may not like them you it still doesnt change the fact that FotR and TTT have grossed over millions of dollars and are extremely popular.

    Well then Peter Jackson could adapt the movie novelizations =P

    and lets try to keep things in the perspective here. Peter Jackson nor anyone else in George Lucas's lifetime is going to be messing with Star Wars besides Lucas. Im just saying if Peter Jackson had control of episodes 1-2 they would probably be better. Episode 3 remains to be seen.

    It's about two teenage girls in New Zealand plotting to kill one girl's mother. The plot is simplistic enough, but it's pulled off wonderfully.

    Going by that, the entire Death Star sequence from the middle of ANH would be left out, Han and Leia would go to [insert random planet here] instead of Bespin in ESB, and the entire final duel would be left out of ROTJ.

    [face_plain]

    That's what he did to LOTR.

    Yea, and Neither TTT or FOTR have Beat TPM Yet :p
