- mklopez, on 10/12/2007, -7/+99And I mispelled George's name...
Send me to the Sarlacc pit... now. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -5/+63Oh god, Were gonna get a Star Wars drama,
"Boba no, don't leave me"
"I have to leave my dear, I must move on with my life, oh and im seeing your cousin."
"Oh Boba, you've turned to the dark side!"
"Frankly my dear, I don't give a wookie." - herrshuster, on 10/12/2007, -2/+60I hope you said "Jedi know when he has made a mistake" on purpose
- herrshuster, on 10/12/2007, -1/+43Leia's metal bikini...without the bikini?
- beelz, on 10/12/2007, -5/+43A true Jedi know when he has made a mistake
- elroy, on 10/12/2007, -4/+38Natalie Portman full penetration shots
- Hermitwise, on 10/12/2007, -1/+35can you imagine the sounds?... my god
- SamKellett, on 10/12/2007, -2/+24Firefly was ***** awesome.
- misterpony, on 10/12/2007, -0/+20Awesome how he can commit to 100 episodes without a TV or DVD deal, just pay for it all himself. That's gotta be at least $100 million, with a conservative estimate of $1 mil/episode. I wish some nice gadzillionaire would finance Joss that way...until then, this could be good, if Lucas takes cues from BSG and Firefly.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+19Maybe he should have made THE MOVIES more adult...
Note: I mean 1-2... - sideshowRAHEEM, on 10/12/2007, -1/+15Finlay we get to see that wookie on wookie love seen.
- Narwaffle, on 10/12/2007, -3/+17Anyone who thinks otherwise shall be shot immediately.
- garagefighter, on 10/12/2007, -0/+12Better than the Star Wars Holiday Special?
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+11http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2007/01/01/DDG2JNA27V1.DTL&hw=George+Lucas&sn=001&sc=1000
There's the story they pulled their quotes from. - insomniac8400, on 10/12/2007, -0/+11Before seeing Battlestar I would have never imagined star wars being turned into a tv show. If they do it right, it could be quite good. Something has to replace shows as scifi cancels them.
- contextclouds, on 10/12/2007, -2/+12Wookie Nookie?
No thanks, I'd rather kiss a w...
never mind. - sanman, on 10/12/2007, -1/+11Let's see, Geri Ryan, Jolene Blalock, Tricia Helfer, Grace Park... who's the latest Maxim girl, supermodel, or centerfold to become the face of Star Wars TV?
Marketing focus groups seem to show that once popular franchises which have decayed into campiness and self-parody can gain a new lease on life by becoming darker, grittier and steamier.
This is now the new opposite of "Jumping the Shark" (Humping the narc?)
My recommendations for gritty revivals:
The A-Team (this time they don't shoot over peoples' heads, Murdoch is a heroin addict, BA has an ailing mother, Amy is a hooker for the rich, and Hannibal -- well, let's just say he likes to 'silence the lambs')
Knight Rider (Michael has a damaged heart valve, KITT has to defibrillate him more than once per season, and actually serves as his mobile iron lung, as Michael seeks revenge upon those who hurt him and killed his family)
Airwolf (JMV and Borgnine died on 9/11, and the Firm pulls St-Jean out of the Khmer Rouge deathcamp where he's actually been working as a military advisor all this time, reassigning him to fly the deadly super-chopper to Afghanistan, to kill all and let God sort'em out, Abu Ghraib style)
Magnum PI ("Do yuh feel lucky, punk? Do ya?") - raynar, on 10/12/2007, -1/+11Um...did you listen to any of the dialogue?
"Oh Anakin, my love for you is a loving river of love!"
Action scenes were good, hopefully George wont try and write dialogue again. - typo180, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8Top 5 "good" things about Episode 3:
5) Thinly veiled political commentary (Palpatein's emergency war powers)
4) Thinly veiled religious commentary (Only a sith deals in abolutes!)
3) Padme dies during childbirth despite her daughter having memories of her
2) Anakin's volcano was actually an entire lava planet which despite spewing lava everywhere, did not manage to hurt anyone until they fell in...er...near a lava river.
1) "Nooooooooooooooooooooo!" - chamblah, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8Penny Arcade said it best
http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2005/04/27 - Coven, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8@raynar
all i can think of is the vgcats strip:
http://www.vgcats.com/comics/?strip_id=150 - m0laria, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6He's gonna make bank on those $40 season DVDs.
- Coven, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6RTFA
Nobody gets to see it until 2009, as thats the earliest Lucas is estimating it to be done. - Canthros, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7No.
- venicerocco, on 10/12/2007, -2/+7CHANGE THE RECORD, GEORGE.
Jesus. - SirNuke, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Simple. If he initially loses money, he'll just keep releasing new editions.
- Coven, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5childhood? he still rapes my bank account on a weekly basis.
- mctnguy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Site is down.
- oskite, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4You mean RTF... Description?
- 81v3d07g0d, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4yeah like torrents wouldn't be available the moment it aired.
- NSMike, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5Hey now, no one stays beautiful forever. Be a little forgiving, people.
- ndonohue, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5good, i thought this whole thing would be vaporware
I just hope Lucas doesn't write the script. (he wrote the script for eps. 1-4, so I can't say he's an exceptional writer) - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4/laugh
George will not go into any Star Wars deal unless he has 100% control. He hates Hollywood and it's controlling nature. Why do you think he quit the Director's Guild of America? - straxus, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5Lemme guess. You also don't like Farscape because you watched 'The Peacekeeper Wars' first. And you didn't like Babylon 5 because you watched 'Sleeping in the Light' first. Was 'Attack of the Clones' the first Star Wars you saw, or was it Jedi?
Don't come in at the end of the story and declare it 'suck'. That's dumb. - fishinabarrel, on 10/12/2007, -3/+7Heck No.
Some wished he stopped after Episode 4 (The bumble thumping ultra conservatives)
Some wished he stopped after Empire strikes back (the Goth folk who like depressing things)
Many wished return of the Jedi was the end.
But many many more of us like the whole alternative GALAXY that he created. Endless side story lines (judging by the cartoons, books, etc).
This is a great premise for a TV show because
1. It won't be reality TV.
2. He (George) won't have to bow down to network execs (anyone recall when Full House came out and suddenly EVERY sitcom suddenly had a cute baby added?)
3. OK, maybe there are only 2 reasons.
This could do to Sci Fi what Full House did to sit coms......................................
- orientis, on 10/12/2007, -8/+12No, you are wrong. Wrong. Ep III sucked just as much, but it was more explodey.
Droid: She lost the will to live.
??? WHERE THE ***** IS THE WILL TO LIVE LOCATED IN THE BODY?! - hackwrench, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5But hey, as luck and George Lucas's way of spelling things in the Star Wars universe would have it, you've spelled one of the names of the characters in the show correctly though. Congratulations!
- mlvassallo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3In my wettest Geek Dreams this show would follow the New Republic that way the characters from the movie could "guest star" and it not be awkward.
I would also love some Rogue Squadron action or anything with Corran Horn in it.
But alas, between Episodes III and IV. Too bad. - ICSU, on 10/12/2007, -3/+6Unlike ep. I and II, III was rather good so we will see.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Hopefully they won't be as sucky as the 3 recent movies. I'm not holding my breath though.
- typo180, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Speaking of, I could not think of anything to get a Wookiee for Christmas since he already has a comb. Anybody have any ideas for next year?
- krakkinem, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3More adult than the infantile Episode 1, hopefully.
- kuj007, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5even more helpful would be
Site is down -- and here's http://www.duggmirror.com/ - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3How about wookie groping leia then?
http://www.witz.org/images/chewielovesleia7a.jpg
Or even chewie on leia (NSFW)
http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d165/zybch/Chewieandleia.jpg - SamKellett, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Then you'd be stuck in an infinite loop!
- JasonQG, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I don't want to see this on TV. I want him to go straight to DVD. Since he has the money to finance this all himself, he could tell an epic story that wasn't constrained by commercial breaks and hour-long episodes. It would be the first video novel, combining the best elements of TV (long story telling) and movies (fewer constraints on time and content).
- darkcaps, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2so the acting will suck even more than ep. 1-3?
- sporktek, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Bow-chicka-wow-wow
EWOKS GONE WILD!!!!! - Rhine23, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wookiee
WookiEE /spelling nazi - DiggRadar, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2"Is anyone else getting sick of him milking Star Wars?"
No, I think he is redeeming Star Wars. Pray to the force that Gungans are not in it. -
