I know that Lucas has said that he does not think that he will ever make the final three installments in the Star Wars Saga and honestly, with what he did with the prequels, this may be a good thing. If the final sections of the saga are ever covered, Spielberg and Ford would need to step up to tell george no on things like gungans and alien crystal skulls.

I recently got to thinking about the concept of how the movies could be done and I think that the final three chapters could be done really well but would need to be set many years down the line.
They could use the surviving original cast as the framework and could customize the stories around a Man in the Iron Mask type sumation of the ends of each charaters life. For those of you that have never actually read the Three Musketeers entire life stories, The Man in the Iron Mask has very little to do with a man in a mask and a lot to do with telling the end of each of the musketeers lives. Following a similar story line that sets former allies at odds you could make a compelling group of movies about how quickly new governments are corrupted and the choice by some to work within the new system to fight the correption while the others go back carrying on the fight. Basically a story of ideals and principles versusus compromise and loyalty.

I wanted to ask Dakkas thoughts on how you think the final the Star War movies should be handled.

So starting with the movies and then on to any other ideas(Keep it clean and civil)

This thread is about Star Wars and is for you fans out there to post your wishes.



As for my above storyline wish, I would want Joss Whedon to direct.

With all the content of the Expanded Universe, Star Wars could go on indefinately.

However, the window to make Episodes 7 and on with the original cast are probably going to close very soon if nothing is done within the next decade, as most of the original actors are getting quite up there in age, and a new cast will need to be found for the faces of the franchise.

@WarOne- That is exactly what I was thinking. If they decide to do such they need to do so quickly or Sky Walker wil take on a new meaning as the Cast will be using walkers.

Well, imagine Lucas gets his brain downloaded into a computer, and his far off offspring decide to reboot him up on the bicentennial anniversary of asking him if they could re-do the prior 6 episodes:

Beep-boop-

Computer-Lucas (C-L): Lucas 2.0 is now active. Who dares summon the greatest science fiction mind of all time? Who dares incur my wraith of microorganisms that are within all living things?

Harrison Ford Lucas the 23rd(23): It is I, the direct descendant of the Lucas and Ford lineage that merged together in the 22nd century to nail cyborg L. Ron Hubbard away in a replica Necron tomb vault for all eternity in order to prevent him from writing Battlefield Earth 2: Travolta's Revenge. I am your Great Grandson to the 54th power, here to beseech you as is custom every two hundred years.

C-L *disappointed*: Oh, well that is a shame. Have they invented faster than light travel yet?

23- As it has been said before in ten prior Askings, faster than light travel has been deemed realistically impossible. The last time we tried that, Mars exploded, killing all of about 2 humans who were still trying in vain to terraform a dead planet.

C-L: Well, I know what is coming. Ask away.

23: On behalf of the surviving Lucas dynasty, we ask our progenitor to allow us the right to remake the first six movies of the Star Wars franchise, as Episodes 7-6342 made very little sense when we used completely different actors for the lead roles of Luke, Han, and Leia.

C-L: No.

23: Oh, well can we have Han shoot first?

C-L: No.

23: Can we edit out all instances of the character Jar Jar Binks?

C-L: No.

23: Can we murder my sister who was named Jar Jar Binks the 5345th as we all hate her and her namesake and do away with you naming all the females in the family Jar Jar Binks?

C-L: Make it so numbah 23.

23: Was that a Star Trek reference?

C-L *looking nervous*: No.

23: I'm quite sure that was.

C-L *serious face now*: There is no Star Trek.

23 *deadpan*: There is no Star Trek.

C-L: Good. Now go make Episode 6343, and make sure the clone of Jar Jar Binks the Jedi-Emperor Master of the Parallel Galaxy Where Faster Than Light Travel Exists gets a prominent roll again.

23 *deadpan*: As you command Lucas 2.0.

C-L:Great, now log me off. I have a great idea where we can digitally insert Michael Jackson as one of the Ewoks in Episode 6...

I see alot of eu goin over uncharted timelines. like the force unleashed and the old republic. I see star wars contnueing in games and comic books. But that is just my opinion.

I would love to see Yuzan Vong done right, and the war's with palaptine resurrected.

But with a different director then Lucas.

WarOne. Here is a Cookie. Wear it well.

@WarOne
+1 to you.
That was one of the funniest post concerning Star Warsthat I've ever read. Thank you for the laugh.



@Shadowbrand and everyone else

If it was announced that a new Star Wars movie was to be made, "Who would you want to direct it?".

Also,
What stories would you like to see them make into movies?
and
Who would you like to see cast in which roles?

BTW, Any Star Wars humor that you want to post is welcome in this thread.

Later

I would like to see the one after luke died. With cade skywalker i think it is.

Who would you have play Cade?
Believe it or not, I think that the guy that played the Oldest brother on Malcom in the middle could play the part.

How would you want the film to be cast?

The whole "there are going to be 3 more films" has pretty much always been a myth made by fans. Though I remember reading somewhere about them knowing the plot for the 7, 8, and 9. They were ok.

Meh after 1/2/3 i think they just need to let Star Wars die before they do any more damage....

*runs away*

You think the force unleashed is damage? The damage is the clone wars movie they did. The tv show is alright but meh the movie.

You mean the one who was in military school? Hmm maybe. Maybe the guy who plays jack in eureka.
But film. I would like to say micheal bay but i dont want the star wars transformers making a cameo.
So speilberg. My fav directer. But the luca would just pull the puppet strings.

The Force Unleashed was moronic. It was so stupid. It was fun to play but I don't consider it canon AT ALL. Even though...

Even though it is.

I think it was a great way the rebellion started. And starkiller was a great chracter. A chracter who had no affliation wimain cast become with the main cast becomes a major player in the universe.

I guess it's time to throw out this picture:



Seriously, Starkiller was lame and a Mary Sue. The whole story just didn't make any sense, it was shoe-horned in. Oh well. Best not to get this thread locked in its infancy.

Why was he lame? he is the dark version of the game killed darth vader. Which means even though the light ending is canon he had the power to kill vader. And he brought down a star destroyer. the second inststallment should make him even awesomer. And the chracter progression through the story was amazing. He went from a cold hearted agent of the darkside to a Major player in the rebellion. And the origin of the rebellions symbol was cool.

I'm sorry but anybody who uses the force to move star destroyers, is stretching my realm of belief.

A movie might be half decent if it was with different characters and completely avoided the whole Jedi/Sith thing. Its a rich universe. Lets have the normals have some fun.

you mean the bit where he actually just shoots the star destroyer with a giant cannon, and he pulls it out of the sky, when It's already falling?

What's the point of pulling it towards the ground it's already falling towards the ground?

@Cheesecat- To keep them from using the escape pods.


@Frazz- I like the idea of exploring the more mundane aspects of the Star Wars universe. Maybe explore the history of the Corellian Pirates, Would be a hard sell to the studios though.

I wanted to ask Dakkas thoughts on how you think the final the Star War movies should be handled.

Let them die.

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.
