Discussion Would you wanna see a trilogy based off the Yuuzhan Vong storyline from the books?

Was referring to the Aiing-Ti, Jennasaari, Fallanasi, etc.

Hmm. I think one more super trilogy after the NJO series could work.
A revamped and planned out from the beginning DNT/LOTF/FOTJ.

Killiks rise up to destroy the galaxy now, so that several more decades of war don't wake up Abeloth.
The Sith (Krayt leads a coalition of Sith, and then the Lost Tribe) rise up and cause another war.
Their actions eventually cause Abeloth to be awakened.
Jedi and Sith have to unite to stop Abeloth.
Then to defeat her for good the remaining alive Skywalker and Solo's go into the Force to defeat Abeloth with help from Anakin Solo, Anakin Skywalker and whoever else died.

Anyway, the NJO series is the end of my saga.
Fan-fic it is.

 

hmmm do I want to see a film based on the Yuuzhan Vong.... this is an easy one to answer...

I never thought the Yuuzhan Vong fit well in the "style" of Star Wars...

they seem more like a Star Trek deep space nine villains or Babylon 5 antagonists/villains...

So I would say.. its not at the top of my "want" list for star wars

 

I think that's why I like the concept of them. The fact that they don't "feel" like SW is great IMO, since they are from a different galaxy. The idea that things are very different outside of the GFFA we know...something completely alien and exotic.

Who knows what's lying out there??

 

If they take the Extra-galatic space invasion concept and the name, I could be down for a very loose adaptation of that story. but Vector Prime was the reason I bounced from the post-ROTJ era, I think I got like two more books and bailed so I wouldn't want to see a beat by beat adaptation but the idea of the space aliens from outside the galaxy named the Yuuzhan Vong could be interesting. A long form story could work maybe not a movie but could make for an interesting arc on a TV series or something.

all that Legends stuff is in a locker, feel free to use it but not be beholden to it, which is how it's been going so far.

 

I know nothing about the storyline you are talking about

 

Not a fan of the Vong. I'm not opposed to a "force resistant" species or something similar from outside known space, but the Vong were "meh" to me.

 

I am opposed to a "Force resistant" species. Life creates the Force, and makes it grow, binds the universe together, luminous beings are we. In my understanding of the Force, all life is part of it, there's no way to be alive without the Force. (I don't like ysalimiri either.)

 

Ulic Qel Droma and the Exile from KOTOR 2 lost their connection to the Force for a time.
With the Ysalmiri its natural selection to survive being hunted by the Vronskrs.
The Force is an infinite mystery. Who says that we know everything about it.
Not that the Vong are outside of the Force.
Star Wars Traitor.
There is no life without the
Force. The human eye does not register electromagnetic energy outside
the tiny band of frequencies called visible light--but even though you
can't see them, those frequencies exist. The Yuuzhan Vong and their
creations must participate in a part of the Force that is beyond the

range of Jedi senses. That's all.

 

Not really for me. The Vong felt like an attempt by writers of less caliber than Zahn trying to inject organic ships into the SW universe since Babylon5 made it then popular for sci-fi in the mid-90's.
However, the Vong were not really far techno-superior nor a billion+ year old race like the vorlons. So it was partial Alien grossness and insect muck. Then they had to do a reprise
of more insectizoid muck with the Killicks now with mind control. I kinda wished they would have just pulled out an ol Death Star/suncrusher core out of retirement and bug zapped
the whole boring icky lot.

For another extra galactic invader, another try could be something like Fred Saberhagens' Berserkers, relentless and intent on destroying all life. Not so much startreky borg, but good for a big war.

First of all, how would they include Princess Leia, after recent events? Unless they did it as an animated series. They shouldn't pull a full-length Rogue One. That being said, something could be made of that story, especially since it connects to Jacen's turn into Darth Caedus--maybe Kylo Ren could have had a similar experience?

 

No, I feel like it's too long to have as a movie story line.

 

I'd like to see the basic concept used somehow, since I think that it's a nice changeup from the usual Jedi/Sith (or similar light/dark) stuff. Assuming that the current trilogy deals with the Force in a satisfying, relatively conclusive manner, then a group of antagonists who don't fit the mold, and who require different thinking to oppose, could be just the thing for Episodes X-XII.

That being said, I don't think that it would follow the NJO books all that closely. Just the concept adapted.

 

I would imagine the Vong could be used as the main villain force that plays out over an entire trilogy, like perhaps that could be the main motivation for Episodes X-XII. It would offer a refreshing turn of pace from the constantly re-emerging Sith/darkside threat, and has the potential to bring a conflict on an epic, galaxy-wide scale. Then XII could end with the whole "we've all overcome our differences and come together after fighting for our very existence from this interstellar enemy," blah blah blah. I agree, maybe don't take the adaptation of the Vong to closely, but IMO it could definitely work-and would bring a fresh take to the saga, instead of more of the same. Not to mention if they wanted to end the main saga there, it would be a great and epic way to end things after 12 episodes...

 

As to the original point, no, thank you. From the NJO onwards, it seemed like the EU was locked into TESB mode. The only point in reading the books was to see what unutterable tragedy would befall the heroes this time. It was so downbeat that I finally gave up on it.

However, if you want some extragalactic threat to the GFFA, one that will unite former enemies and put everything at risk, then let's not fool around with sado-masochistic, insectoid bozos. Let's go all out with...

 

If they removed the Vong's fanatical religion based around pain and suffering and made them a race who abhors technology and uses living tools for everything, that'd make a decent enough movie series

However, given the sheer scope of the NJO, you'd have to trim a lot of content - even without the S&M, there was a lot of stories told from wildly different view points and offered glimpses into the deepest workings of both sides

A TV series would be leagues better

I'm also sorely tempted to make it set in The Old Republic era so we have more time to mess around with it

 

As good as I find that idea, I seriously doubt that Disney will do it next time. Not when the fashion of bowing down before the OT is that strong, giving us one humano-centric standalone movie after one, including the ST, where the non-human villain Snoke is yet to make a credible and in-the-flesh appearance.

In current times, where the PT is bashed constantly as a digital animated abomination, a Yuuzhan Vong film, let alone a trilogy, would stand no chance, even though the current state on earth is yearning for it.

 

Seeing how this fandom tends to dislike CGI. I can't see it working out very well.

 

Sorry. I did not mean for that to come across as trolling.

 

I would love to see a trilogy based on the Yuuzhan Vong invasion. I really enjoyed the biological aspects of the YV stories and I think they make interesting foes.

 

Ah yes, the chicken people who are immune to the Force. Aren't their bad guys called the Whysalami as well?

 

I honestly can't see Disney featuring the Yuuhzan Vong (or similar extra-galactic species) in any future movies. The arrival of the Vong irreparably changed the face of the galaxy and Disney are unlikely to want that. Tha GFFA has a certain aesthetic that cinema goers have come to expect.

A force from outside the galaxy would be very different in look and feel. This would impact the tone and appearance of these movies which may similarly impact future movies set further along the timeline. I honestly don't see Disney taking that big a gamble. Star Wars is a guaranteed money-maker and I can't see Disney tampering with the magic formula.

 

It would take more than a trilogy to adapt NJO.

 

Vong have always been a divisive issue among Star Wars fans, but I would like it. Maybe not until like 10 years down the line though.
