OMGOMGOMGOMGOMG STAR WARS!!. Please more movies! Please! Make them good ones too - if you put anything remotely resembling jarjar or shit like that I'm going to hunt you down and fucking kill you before you fuck up starwars even more. So make it good! PLEASE MORE MOVIES.


DISCUSS.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

With each new addition to the Star Wars Universe, I find myself going from loving it, to being indifferent. I don't care for a new film.

How ya doing, buddy?

More likely, it'll be something akin to this old Penny Arcade.

Or perhaps it's the long-rumored Star Wars TV series.

Either way, it'll be interesting to see what comes up, and very difficult indeed to be interested in the outcome.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

His announcement will be he's releasing a new DVD set of the original trilogy. with never before seen bonus features and new computer generated characters and objects that fit in seamlessly with the pre-existing film.

How ya doing, buddy?

Is it bad of me to wish this was a movie about the old republic, aka the KOTOR storyline?

A lot of the other expanded universe stuff is crap. But the old republic stuff is sweet..

I was speaking idiomatically.

You shouldn't say something like that to the creator of the series. He brought you the original films, you know !

He's entitled to his opinion, dude.

One can make something awesome and proceed to fuck it up just as well.

FELIPE NO

I would be more welcoming to anything new in Star Wars as long as someone else OTHER than Lucas directs/writes for it.

I mean god, a Star Wars TV show would so awesome in concept, but it needs to be up to the standards of Firefly or something. I want well cheorgraphed light saber fights like the way Ryan VS Dorkman did, along with well written and developed story and characters.

Lucas did indeed created SW, which in turn inspired LOTR and various awesome geek fest media yada yada, but he's also the one who came up with alot of bad ideas (Jar Jar) and thanks to the success now has a holier-than-thou attitude. (He dismissed Sean Astin's initial praise and respect for him along with the "silly hobbit movies", and the "silly spider man" comment). Then of course the horrible writing for most of the prequels.

Not to mention that Episode 5 and 6 were directed by someone else, so in some form people are giving Lucas way too much credit than he deserves.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

I have nothing to add to this request. Less Jarjar faggot shit, less episode II (this movie was wack), more episodes IV-VI, please.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I love the way you fucking people keep pointing out Jar Jar as the low point in Lucas' ideas. Jar Jar is the ewoks of the new series. He sells toys. Lucas is a horrible fucking writer. The sooner you people come to terms with this, the better off you'll be. He can't write romantic dialogue, he can't establish continuity, and he can't do anything new that's worth watching. One good back and forth between Obi Wan and Anakin in episode III does not make up for a bunch of utter crap.

I hope the announcement is that he's retiring, and letting actual writers use his universe in order to create something good. See: Clone Wars in the hands of the Samurai Jack guy.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Didn't Clone Wars have minimal dialouge is more about action and tension? Its seemed similar to Samurai Jack in that regard that its more about the camera shots, art, fight scenes than it is about the dialouge.

Then again I only saw like, one short episode...

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Absolutely it was all about silence. That's Genndy's medium. George Lucas lost me a long time ago. I have the original, unfucked up movies of IV, V, and VI... I have no desire to own I, II, III or the reduxed IV, V, VI. Lucas proved it was only the lack of resources for the first movies that held him back from his vision that made the movies great. Whenever he manages to create his perfect vision, it sucks.

Thanks for that post, bro, but if Lucas can't prevent Jar Jar fucking faggot shit then who the fuck can

I was speaking idiomatically.

I'm not saying Jar Jar is good, mate. I'm saying Lucas has done WAY worse than Jar Jar. Stupid character vs ruining otherwise good characters with horrid dialogue.

How ya doing, buddy?

You know, I used to feel the same way, but watching some of the cut scenes from episode two, and the way episode 3 turned out led me to believe there is still good in him.

It's just that, well, when character development is the first thing to hit the cutting room floor, you know somewhere along the way you have erred. =/

FELIPE NO

I think that George Lucas has SOME good ideas and concepts, he's just horrible at executing them. He DID create the original Star Wars and all that....

That and his holier-than-thou attitude may contribute to wanting everything HIS way instead of having a team and be able to bounce off ideas with each other to make a good movie. When you believe yourself to be THAT good, you would want to reject everyone else's ideas.

Oh and the whole CGI stuff caused him to go overboard to just the visual representation and not the writing behind it. Its kinda like Square Enix with their hot hot graphics, but in their latest games have very little substance to back them up. People like Lucas are topo focused on the LOOK on the movie instead of telling a good story.

Its ironic though that he tries so hard to create a beautiful world through CGI, yet when I watch the prequels they look so fake it makes it look ugly. When I watched LOTR, the scenery was true natural beauty, where as SW prequels were like plastic trees or something. Trouble is he used CGI in every single shot, instead of trying to scout for places that CAN look the way he wanted, or build some goddamn sets. Unless you're going for a stylised look throughout the movie a'la 300 or Sin City, CGI should only be used for wide shots, major action sequences or things that don't exist in reality.

I attribute that more to him making the new films and going back to fuck around with the old ones long after he'd gotten old and senile, losing whatever talent he had. I'd be willing to say that the young, clear-minded Lucas could have done something great with a second trilogy. But as a doddering old coot, we got what we got instead.

In any event, whatever he announces, let's hope he'll merely be serving as executive producer and not in any creative position.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

If this is a movie announcement, I'm going to be pissed. Especially after he's said multiple times that he would never do another Star Wars movie. He almost ruined Star Wars for me with the prequel trilogy... however, when there's money to be made, I suppose he can't help himself.

Most amazing jew boots

The best thing that could happen is an Old Republic era movie/trilogy.

But I wouldn't be shocked if it was an announcement of another rerelease of the movies, either in theatres or for HD-DVD or Blu-ray, whichever one Fox is with.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

So you're saying that Lucas is like the Square Enix of Movie Directors? Hmm....

A movie set in the old republic, or a movie series in the vein of Firefly are the best that one could possibly hope for, and I doubt that we would be blessed with such good fortune.

Speaking of the animated Clone Wars... *Rushes off to torrent sites*

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Big announcement will be the super brand new RE-RELEASE OF THE NEWEST TRILOGY =U

Jar Jar with newly textured skin!
Interactive Jedi Dice Game! (you can't lose!)
Editing of Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher's faces onto the babies!

AND MOAR~

I was speaking idiomatically.

Just watch this be an Indiana Jones 4 related announcement.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Anyone have an idea what the announcement was about? I have seen or heard anything...

How ya doing, buddy?

What was so bad about episode II?

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?
