I like that idea a lot. You're thinking of a holocron, btw.
Yeah, a holocron! That'd be just the thing. The nice thing is they could do a Star Wars film waaaay after most of the EU stuff, so they wouldn't have to retcon all those stories, but with a Master Skywalker holocron they'd still be able to maintain some continuity to the original trilogy.
But I mean, it's a big universe too. They could tell a story during the EU timeline that's completely separate from any of the other stories as well.

If the bad guys look like Klingons I'll... well... do something very unpleasent to the nearest fuzzy animal.
Self-proclaimed evil Cat-person. Dues Ex Felines
Cato Sicarius, after force feeding Captain Ventris a copy of the Codex Astartes for having the audacity to play Deathwatch, chokes to death on his own D-baggery after finding Calgar assembling his new Eldar army.
Yeah, the Borg are way more intimidating and a lot cooler than that stupid droid army.
dunno, the droids in 1&2 did a good job of being an intimidating faceless mob, especially this bit wwhen all the droids deploy then star decimating the gunguns and the Arena Scene in 2.

I don't see what's so intimidating about droids when Jedi's can go through hundreds of them in a few minutes with little to no effort at all or a 5 year old with no military experience can destroy there main base by himself.

The Borg... Were not. I would like to see some assimilated Jedi though.
That was exactly the problem. The entire army and space navy of the Trade Federation was one big piece of comic relief. How are you supposed to take the bad guys seriously as bad guys when they're all bumbling morons?

Yeah... especially since droids/robots can be really SCARY.

I think the exoskeletons from Terminator are a good example of a robot army that was pretty cool as opposed to completely ridiculous.
It seemed like they went more of the route of droids because you can feth droids up all day and not get hit with an R. Imagine all the scenes where Jedi are slicing up droids and replace the droids with humans (or humanoid aliens). It would be a blood bath.
Amidst the mists and coldest frosts he thrusts his fists against the posts and still insists he sees the ghosts.

But.. c'mon! Who wouldn't want to see any army of Jedi's feth up another army and watch the limbs fly! At least there wouldn't be a whole lot of blood!

I wasn't arguing that it was a good decision, in fact I thought it was a bad one. It removed any real moral question about the application of violence.

Also having completely useless enemies ruins the sense of danger and dramatic tension in the film.
Any bets on how that would go? Can a lightsaber deflect gauss flayer rounds? It's not like Jedi wear armor of any kind... bet a lightsaber would do a number on a 'Cron once they got into stabbing range. I wonder if it would have a similar cauterizing effect on living metal as it does on flesh?
I beg of you sarge let me lead the charge when the battle lines are drawn
Lemme at least leave a good hoof beat they'll remember loud and long

No no... we'd need some sithlords bro-fisting some 'crons.
