- REV0R, on 06/09/2009, -2/+85Or, instead, maybe Hollywood could come up with a new, original idea for a film instead of cannibalizing itself out of laziness and ineptitude (I'm looking at you Wolverine).
Sorry, I'll come back to reality now. - Hetman, on 06/08/2009, -11/+78How about you find a way to erase my memories of episode 1 2 and 3. We do not need more starwars movie. We have one of the greatest trilogies ever made. Sometimes things are perfect the way they are and do not need anything added to them.
- flossdaily, on 06/09/2009, -0/+40Episode III:
Anakin: The emperor is the dark sith lord!
Mace: Okay, we'll go arrest him. Stay here, and when we come back we'll finally trust you.
Anakin: Okay. Actually, you know what, ***** you, I'm gonna come anyway.
Mace (to the emperor): we're going to arrest you.
Emperor: I'm going to get my kill on.
*much chaos*
Mace: oh my god, you killed everyone except me.
Emperor: suck it, Trebeck.
*mace kicks ass, is about to kill the emperor*
Anakin: Hey guys, just thought I'd drop by! Hey, wtf? I thought you were going to arrest him.
Mace: ***** that, my principles have all evaporated for no reason that I can actually verbalize.
Anakin: Well, I'm not cool with that. He deserves a trial.
Mace: I know you're incredibly unstable, and I'm very vulnerable right now, and I also know that you have a fair point, but I'm going to completely ignore you and kill this guy,
Anakin: No! he deserves a trial!
*anakin kills mace*
Emperor: thanks, douchebag
Anakin: Oh my god, what have I done? I guess I'm evil now. I guess I'll completely disregard bring you to trial as well.
Emperor: good. Say, now that I'm all ugly for no reason, I'm going to need a full-time lacky.
Anakin: well, I know you're an evil *****, I guess I should be your man servant now, because I guess I'm evil now, or something. - oh wait, I'm doing this to save Padame, so your totally gonna show me how to save her, right?
Emperor: WHo? Oh yeah, that hot chick that you tapped for a summer. Yeah, save her, sure thing.
Anakin: Awesome. I completely trust you.
Emperor: good. your first assignment is to go kill adorable and innocent children
Anakin: I have no problem with that. - asgardshill, on 06/09/2009, -0/+36FTA:
"Admit that Han Solo is the hero as much as Luke."
Han Solo still shot first.
But all would be forgiven if he shot Jar Jar instead of Greedo. - asgardshill, on 06/09/2009, -0/+32Parts of it weren't horrible (less Jar Jar, the final lightsaber duel). Parts of it like the dialog between Anakin and Padme were cringe-inducingly awful.
- spritom, on 06/08/2009, -3/+33How about just using those same creative minds and come up with something good and original?
- EddiePotato, on 06/08/2009, -0/+29I don't mind remembering 3. Not the action scenes, anyhow. The only real problem I have with it is that the saber fights are so grand and well choreographed that it makes the fights in 4-6 look kind of lazy.
And an episode 7 could be awesome in the right hands. i.e. someone who still has edge to balance heart, and more into real models than CGI. - nigelmansell, on 06/09/2009, -4/+32prevent George Lucas from writing another screen play, ever.
- Strongo, on 06/09/2009, -6/+31easy, just redo it and keep George Lucas away
- TyrannousDotNet, on 06/09/2009, -3/+27Do it with the thrawn trilogy:
Luke goes to the dark side, the empire is survived by a fleet with a genius general, both sides are searching for a super fleet of ghost ships to shift the balance of power, luke meets mara jade who was the hand of the emperor and wants dearly to kill luke, ysalamiri!, an crazy jedi who poses to help luke, then creates a clone of him using a secret cache of empire technology left behind! and more!
http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Thrawn_Trilogy
As the New Republic holds a fragile foothold in control, a new threat emerges from the far side of the Galaxy. Having been posted so far away from action, Grand Admiral Thrawn, a cunning and intelligent alien commander, begins to gather his Imperial forces for a strategic attack on the New Republic. With the aid of Captain Pellaeon and his personal bodyguard Rukh, they begin to set in motion an almost unbeatable plan. They enlist the aid of a mad clone of a powerful Jedi Master and use the Emperor's hidden weapons vault which he guards.
Meanwhile, Luke Skywalker encounters Talon Karrde and his gang of smugglers. Luke soon learns that Karrde's personal assistant, Mara Jade, hates him and wants to kill him, but will he find out why before it's too late?
As the mad clone Joruus C'baoth comes out of isolation and learns about the Skywalker twins and Leia's unborn children, he decides he will train them in the ways of the Force. Basically, they will join him or die. Thus, they are both pursued across the galaxy.
Also, there is a spy hidden amidst the New Republic.
It is five years after the events of Return of the Jedi. The fragile New Republic reels from the attacks of Grand Admiral Thrawn, who has not only rallied the remaining Imperial forces, but has driven the rebels back with an abominable new technology: clone soldiers.
Hopes are dim as Thrawn mounts a final siege against the Republic. While Han and Chewbacca struggle to form a wary alliance of smugglers in a last-ditch attack against the Empire, Leia keeps the Alliance together and prepares for the birth of her Jedi twins. But the Empire has too many ships and too many clones to combat. The Republic's only hope lies in sending a small force, led by Luke, into the very stronghold that houses Thrawn's terrible cloning machines.
There a final danger awaits. The Dark Jedi C'baoth schemes in his secret fortress, directing the battle against the rebels, nursing his insanity, and building his strength to finish what he had already started—the destruction of Luke Skywalker. - lepetitmousse, on 06/09/2009, -4/+25number one one way to reboot it:
dont. - nepidae, on 06/09/2009, -3/+23***** reboots
- JasonCox, on 06/09/2009, -2/+20Am I the only one that actually liked Episode III?
- Thex1138, on 06/09/2009, -1/+17'You don't need to see these movies rebooted'
"We don't need to see these movies rebooted"
'These aren't the movies you're looking for'
"These aren't the movies we're looking for.."
'He can go about his business'
"You can go about your business'
'Move along..'
"Move along... move along...."
..He's using the old movie producers mind trick.. - badtiki, on 06/09/2009, -1/+16ok these reboots are getting out of hand, I saw a preview the other day "Merlin" where it's Arthur and Merlin when they were young - and the ad said to the effect, see how they met, see how it all began - Don't get me wrong, reboots are totally needed for some stories but whats next, a reboot of a reboot - batman begins (again?)
- MacVogt, on 06/09/2009, -2/+16dug for "Movies are getting as crash-happy as my Macbook."
- ganymede2010, on 06/09/2009, -0/+14I read that Trilogy and it's incredible. Grand Admiral Thrawn would rock.
- bubbameister33, on 06/09/2009, -5/+16That's the dumbest ***** I have ever heard.
- OneOfNone, on 06/09/2009, -0/+11Did anyone notice that successful reboots are always done by DIFFERENT teams from original creators?
If Lucas makes another Star Wars movie, expect a mixture of Episodes 3 and 6. I am not kidding.
Anyone saw the endless jungle car chase in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, with hordes of cute monkeys and all the wine-swinging? Did you notice something familiar, perhaps reminiscent of certain scenes in Episode 6?
Yes, this means that George Lucas still believes that Ewoks were a brilliant idea. And that's what we are going to get more of. There is no escape. - Mawds, on 06/09/2009, -0/+10I think they should do stuff based on The Old Republic.
There would be more Jedi, more Sith, and no Jar Jar. - TyrannousDotNet, on 06/09/2009, -0/+10Just do three sequels with the thrawn trilogy:
http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Thrawn_Trilogy - oriondr, on 06/09/2009, -0/+10Shia Lebeouf is Han Solo's son, duh.
- Kotoyumu, on 06/09/2009, -0/+9I suggested the same thing years ago on theforce.net and got shot down by the idea. I enjoyed the Thrawn series alot, would be awesome to see it make its way to the big screen. I figure as long as Lucas is not directing, and they find a director to do the Star Wars movies, it should be interesting to say the least.
- inactive, on 06/09/2009, -0/+9***** robots.
- unrealJEDI, on 06/09/2009, -3/+12Episode III was horrible. It was the easiest one to get into the strike zone out of the three considering all the dark back story and they monumentally ***** up the dialogue and key scenes.
Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!
Has love blinded you?
ULTIMATE POWER!
I pledge myself to your teachings...
Just horrible dialogue and story line... - Bkkgnar, on 06/09/2009, -0/+9Either the Thrawn Trilogy or a KOTOR movie would be ***** amazing. As for rebooting the original trilogy... that's not really needed.
- TheFuzzyOne, on 06/09/2009, -0/+8Burn in hell, trekkie.
- inactive, on 06/09/2009, -0/+8Speaking of reboots, what about Reboot? Remember how that ended? Megabyte taking control and saying let the hunt begin? So what if the guy who voiced Megabyte is dead, they really need wrap that up.
- teamgwho, on 06/09/2009, -0/+8***** robots.
- Recluse84, on 06/09/2009, -2/+9How to reboot Star Wars = You dont. Then whack yourself with a toy light saber for trying/thinking of it.
- lobsterxcore, on 06/09/2009, -0/+7I expected everything after the link to turn yellow and scroll slowly upwards.
- reghent, on 06/09/2009, -0/+7I loved the Star Wars movies growing up they were my childhood. When I read the Thrawn trilogy for the first time I thought it was better then the actual Star Wars movies. I would love it to be made into a movie. I would hate for George to ruin it though just like he has with everything else in the Star Wars franchise. It kills me to even watch the movies because of how it feels like they were just sold out for ticket sales.
- RobotKeaton, on 06/09/2009, -0/+7It can be set like, 30 years afterwards. Then, no CG is needed.
- MasterGrief, on 06/09/2009, -0/+6Pixar always does fantastic work. Unfortunately, they're more of an exception than a rule.
- Semblance, on 06/09/2009, -2/+8Hollywood doesn't own Star Wars, Lucas does, thank goodness. There will be no reboot.
- Khast, on 06/09/2009, -0/+6#1 Jar Jar must die a horrible on screen death...one which would satisfy anyone converting to the dark side.
#2 Never have a character as annoying as Jar Jar.
#3 I know Merchandising makes up for a large chunk of the profits...don't just ***** license the crap, it was super annoying to see Star Wars ***** all over the place...don't become another Pokemon.
#4 If you are making a sequel...AT LEAST HAVE SOME ***** CONSISTENCY!!! - piratearggghhh, on 06/09/2009, -2/+8Hear me out guys...what we need is more Jar Jar Binks in his own whacky adventures...no wait put me down I'm not done......
- doshindude, on 06/09/2009, -2/+8it's funny cuz macs really do tend to crash a lot (despite what everybody says about them not)
- MikeOxbigg, on 06/09/2009, -3/+8Pretend the prequels never existed and take it from there.
Also: No Lucas. Enough of that *****. - inactive, on 06/09/2009, -0/+5Well, keep Lucas, or whoever, on an allowance for CGI. Just because a movie CAN be 95% CGI doesn't mean it SHOULD be. Prequels looked like non-playable video game demos to me. Spend more on writing, actors, other forms of special effects. I'm too scared that Lucas would make a reboot 98% CGI and 3D, just because the technology is there, and it's cheaper than using writers and actors. So, screw it, Just Don't *****' Do It, Please.
- Smalldude76, on 06/09/2009, -0/+5That was a low blow.
- Eslamicolt3, on 06/09/2009, -0/+5go see up.
- CoreyTamas, on 06/09/2009, -0/+5Just out of curiosity: Is there ever such a thing as something being "done", as in... no more, that's enough, leave it intact while we come up with a new idea? Because it seems to me that the whole issue of why reboots are so tricky has to do with the fact that we can't seem to accept that all good stories - like all good franchises - have a beginning *and* an end.
- CETino, on 06/09/2009, -0/+5KOTOR with Kate Beckinsale as Bastila, hire actual writers, hire directors who have directed a film in the last decade that doesn't have the last name Lucas
- jba68, on 06/09/2009, -1/+5they would have to work in a Luke is a junkie and just out of rehab. Mark Hamil looks like *****.
- GamerXR72, on 06/09/2009, -1/+5The starwars universe is just that. A universe, with a story spanning thousands of years and hundreds of species. Remember how old Yoda was?
You don't need a goddamn reboot. You just move to one of the many epic story's already laid out. Hell, you could even make a movie out of Knights of the Old Republic and call it The Redemption. - TyrannousDotNet, on 06/09/2009, -0/+4ill be glad to direct it, for free!
- teamgwho, on 06/09/2009, -0/+4I see there's no less then a dozen posts already saying the first thing I thought of when I read this:
Thrawn Trilogy.
In a sense, it would actually be a sort of reboot because the actors are too old to play the characters at the age they are in that story. You'd need to recast anyway.
***** remaking episode IV. I want me some episodes 7-9. As far as I'm concerned, the thrawn trilogy (and the twin books that followed it dealing with the return of Grand Admiral Thrawn) are the only SW books I've ever read that made me give a *****.
Anyone have any suggestions for casting of the old characters (or the new ones like Thrawn or Talon Karde)? - jba68, on 06/09/2009, -0/+4its kind of lame, but kind of good. Though it makes no sense sometimes in the story line. But hey its a legend so whatever... and i always kind of dug the King Arthur stuff. the season 1 is available online and has been over for awhile. It was aired in Europe....
