Let them die.

Agreed.

DEATH TO THE FALSE EMPEROR!

But with a different director then Lucas.

QFT. The Yuzhan Vong War was pretty cool. I'd also love to see something like the Sith-Imperial war. That was pretty cool.

Concerning using the original cast....

PLEASE never put Carrie Fisher on the big screen again.

Imagine the rash of suicides that will inevitably happen after all those metal bikini posters/wallpapers/screensavers and whatnot are rendered "ineffective".

...you have seen her recently right?

No, No, No! We are not starting another Galactic Empire vs Imperium of Man thread.

Besides, It was proven that the Galactic Empire would win.

Seriously, lers steer away from such. Instead just throw ideas out as to what you would do with it if you were given controll of the franchise. This includes Star wars Humour*Hint

I disagree. They universe would be a fun one to explore. Don't blame the universe because Lucas's film-making ability has followed a similar path to Mel Gibsons sanity. He's lost it.

QFT. It sucks 'cause the phantom menace could have been awesome. In my opinion 3 things ruined the movie.
1: Anakin Skywalker.
2: the fact that Anakin managed to destroy a whole fleet, even though a squadron of professionally trained pilots couldn't.
3: Jar Jar

Yeah, wasn't planning on her being dressed skimpy. was thinking of setting her as Margaret Thatcher type role of the seasoned older politician. Time line set to tell how each of the original cast dies, while introducing the next genera....MMphh..mmphh....(Voice of my friend)SSShhh, You almost made a Star Trek reference in a Star Wars thread.

Thanks bro, I owe you a six pack.

Anyway I hope you got my point.

I have to say I've never been a fan of any of the Star Wars movies. Don't get me wrong, I love the idea of the universe it is set in, I just don't think that Lucas should be allowed within 25AU's of a script. Or character creation. And to be honest anything to do with film making what so ever.

I wouldn't mind a step towards a grittier, more "realistic" Star Wars. Kind of like the step they made with the more recent Batman films.

Not sure when it would be set or what woulc happen (not really read much about Star Wars fluff to be honest), but some kind of giant battle would be nice.

It was originally going to crash into a settlement, killing thousands, he pulled it so it landed in a junkyard and didn't kill anyone.

Wait if it was falling from the sky and its like a mile long wouldn't the force of that be an EVE regardless of where it landed?

Well, we simply would of used an ADAM to launch it right back then.

Silly acronyms.

Extinction Level Event.

I just realized I said EVE didn't I. My bad.

Well I thought he got it right on the 3rd film with Revenge of the Sith.
That was a good film actually.

GG

It was ok.

Fall of the Great:
Citizen Kane (over rated)
Hamlet
Cleopatra (fall of the Antony character-to an extent)

Sith-not so much. had the seeds but not there.
of course a proper wife would have just shanked Obi Wan when they were sitting together
"You're pregnant aren't you? Anakin's the father isn't he. I am so sorry."
(How it should have gone)
Padme: "Don't you be talking about my baby's daddy! Feth you fether!"
Padme shanks him in the throat. He stumbles to the edge of the porch, gurgling blood. She kicks him off.
Yarrggghhhhhhhhhhhhhh....


Lamest passage of the year:
Obi-Wan: Anakin, Chancellor Palpatine is evil! The Sith are evil. The Dark Side of the Force is an evil presense.
Anakin Skywalker: From my point of view, it is the Jedi who are evil.

The universe has been explored, quite literally to the point where it's been ruined. Let it drift off to the good death of old age, there are plenty of other science fiction settings it's choking under the weight of it's marry sue wizard characters, awful characterization, confused and contradictory storylines, and conflicted art direction.

From what I can tell, Shuma has it correct. SW is almost total crap these days and has been since the Yuzhan Vong or whatever came about. Now, some of the big budget stuff has been ok. Force Unleashed and the Clone Wars series aren't terrible, for example. But the current comics and novels have turned what was once my favorite SF franchise into something that even I would be embarrassed to be associated with. Geeky things that are good are at least defensible.

If they were to make another starwars movie let bioware write it




I know its for a MMORPG but think of the Knights of the old republic games and how awesome they were

but really they should make a republic commando sequal game at the same level of awesomeness then let the universe die a peaceful death while its still *relatively* untainted by poop

So you want another bad rainbow six ripoff with substandard graphics, poor AI, samish weapons, an empty plot, and a recycled visual setting? Republic commando was a substandard game by every way used to measure games. But it was starwars, so like most starwars games it was poor but gets a free pass because star wars fans are pretty used to getting gak on.

I miss the Star War's Minature game. That introduced me to wargaming. I had an ENTIRE droid and Old Republic era Sith Army.

I fething loved how tough Droidekas were.

Dude! Same with me!


If you have any Galactic Civil War era dudes (that is, Imperials, Rebels, and fringe) I'd love to buy them off of you or trade you for them.

Seriously, Star Wars minis was so cool. I think I may play a game just because.

You know, I'd love to see a star wars fps done by some one like Bungie. They would have done an amazing job at it.

Dude!

I more then definately have some, I recall I got quite the number of imperials, even Boba Fett.

But my pride and joy is my droids and they haven't seen action since I was 14 years old in Vancouver.

I never really cared for battle droids. Their high pitched voices always annoyed the crap out of me.

In the begining they were tolerable, only speaking acknowlegements. "Roger,roger, Sir yes sir!"

Now they sound like Covenant Grunt's, only Grunts are better because you get the joy of BRUTALLY killing them.

Yeah, and at least grunt talk is funny. Especially with the IWHBYD skull.

That would require getting past Lucas' obsession with black and white moral codes, which won't happen until he dies.

Probably not. The asteroid that killed off the dinosaurs was likely 5-7 miles across, and would have been almost completely solid. Compare that to a mile long space ship which is almost certainly at least 40% habitable space and you're looking at something with far less mass.

Still a cataclysmic event, but not extinction level.

I'm not convinced it can really be done at all, the closest they ever came was a doom clone with force powers, which while fun was a very long time ago.

Aight, just let me know.

Personally, I thought the droids in Episode 1 were cool. They weren't moronic like in Episode 3 or in the new cgi television show. Sure they had their dumb moments "Uh...that doesn't compute...uh...you're under arrest" but at least they actually killed people.

dogma wrote:That would require getting past Lucas' obsession with black and white moral codes, which won't happen until he dies.

I think there is some moral ambiguity to the character development of Anakin/Vader.

I don't know, I think its pretty clearly stated that Anakin/Vader does both good and bad things, and is therefore a bad person until his eventual redemption; barring his childhood in the EP. 1 of course.

To me its notable that the only characters who seem to stand by him are the ones that love him (and, in both cases, that love is regarded as a flaw). Everyone else seems to keep him at a significant distance, or express discomfort at his presence.
