Use the Thrawn Trilogy as the script, rake in millions skip to the Yuuzhan Vong invasion, using the original cast

I know Jar Jar Binks because I banged his neighbor a whole bunch when I lived in LA, so this conference call is high priority for me, obviously.

People on Facebook are going insane over this, but I literally do not see a downside here. - The sequels were going to get made anyway because Lucas loves money - He's agreed to let others get a swing at them now - Even if he's lying, he will now be making the movies with responsibility to someone instead of as the lord and ruler of his own studio full of yes men I'm actually excited about Star Wars for the first time since... I can't even remember when.

 "going to."Unless I misunderstand the corporate structure there, wouldn't this have big implications for Lucasarts too? Monkey Island movie, anyone? It would be a way for them to make more Pirates of the Carribean movies without having to pay those Jonny Depp dollars. feedmyleg fucked around with this message at 21:44 on Oct 30, 2012 |

I'm also gonna bet the check they wave in front of his face to come back for an episode 7 is probably a bit larger than a computer game payday.

Bleh, a Star Wars movie without FOX in the opening just isn't the same. Seriously though, love him or hate him, a theatrical live action Star Wars movie which wasn't written by Lucas just seems wrong. As far as "Episode 7", I'd rather they just go off in another direction and not make it tied to the Vader/Luke saga. Play around in the universe all you want, but don't make it a "Part 7" and I'm fine with it. Forcing a "Part 7" is just an even more blatant money grab. Unless they get some uber fan to handle Episode 7, it would surely kill the EU. The Clone Wars series is already making a mess of the EU, another live action movie would surely kill it for sure if it's set after RotJ.

This is very exciting news. Would Episode 7 be based on the books? How far in time would it be? Would we see Luke, Leia and Han Solo or would we see their kids? It's going to be exciting to see Jedi and Sith Lords again.

iSheep posted:Why? Did you not see the prequels? Regardless of their quality, they at least had the Lucas lineage to have some sort of legitimate legacy together. zenintrude posted:He didn't write Empire or Jedi, so... The official screenplay? No. The original stories and outlines? Yes. This is Lucas turning it over to someone else, it doesn't sound like he'll have any part. There's obviously been history of that since ANH came out with the EU media, my current hesitation is about a live action movie "follow up". And that's only in regards to something focusing on Luke and company. If Lucas doesn't have any input, I'd rather they no go there. If this is a new cast of characters, I'm fine with it.

In the beginning, the Disney guy acknowledged the "17,000" characters in the Star Wars universe. So the EU will certainly be tapped. THRAWN. THRAWN. THRAAAAWWWWN!

In the Q&A they mentioned that they are only planning on doing the next trilogy (7-9) in the 2 year increments. They have no plans to make any future films after that yet.

Was there anything said about why the company was sold? Obviously it was probably $$$, but I didn't know if they were financially unsound or if they were just getting out while the getting was good.

jeffLebowski posted:Doesn't whining about Episode 7 seem premature? It seems that separating Lucas from the Star Wars franchise is just about the best possible thing that could happen to it. That is only slightly better than Disney getting a hold of it. I think it is still a net plus, and there will be additional movies, but for fucks stake, why did it have to be Disney? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BKOwptKaiQM

http://www.movieweb.com/news/mark-hamill-talks-star-wars-7-8-and-9Mark Hamill posted:“He talked about doing a VII, VIII, IX,” Hamill began. “You know when I first did this, it was four trilogies. 12 movies! And out on the desert, any time between setups… lots of free time. And George was talking about this whole thing. I said, ‘Why are you starting with IV, V and VI? It’s crazy.’ [Imitating Lucas grumble,] ‘It’s the most commercial section of the movie.’ He said the first trilogy’s darker, more serious. And the impression I got, he said, ‘Um, how’d you like to be in Episode IX?’ This is 1976. ‘When is that going to be?’ ‘2011.’ I defy anyone to add 36 years to their lives and not be stunned. Even an eight year old is like, ‘No, I’ll never be 47.’ So I did the math and figured out how old I’d be. I said, ‘Well, what do you want me to do?’ He said, ‘You’ll just be like a cameo. You’ll be like Obi Wan handing the lightsaber down to the next new hope.’ And I’m thinking, ‘I love the guy. If he wanted me to do light yard work at his house, I’d be out clipping the hedges.’ So I went, ‘Sure.’ But I thought he just realized that he’s going to be doing it the rest of his life and he’d rather not do that.” I guess that George Lucas was off by a few years.

I can't imagine Lucasfilm being in bad financial health, considering they are basically a licensing company and nothing else. ILM might be a pressured by overseas effect houses, but if that was the case, why not split the companies?

It would be all kinds of amazing if they tossed the EU in the bin and went in a completely new direction for the new trilogy. The nerd rage could be used to turn Jupiter into a second sun, to boot.
