SR4 Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 Zahn's Thrawn trilogy is going to be my episode 7-9. never read the books, but that whole story arc did sound cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awepittance Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 Thrawn trilogy would have been cool in theory but it's going to take a lot of work to make the Jedi not boring again. The way George portrayed them in the prequels made them seem like a bunch of impotent boring fools with no actual discernible ideology just randomly pulling from religious code like not being able to 'fall in love' and a bunch of other non nonsensical horse shit. If they do focus on the jedi again they have a lot of work to do in repairing the damage they did to what the Jedi are supposed to be. besides Annakin skywalker, the Jedi who got the most screen time came off at best as a wooden plank where after 3 whole movies we have really no idea what his motivations are or who the fuck he is besides a young version of Obi wan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rubin Farr Posted January 14, 2013 Author Share Posted January 14, 2013 Looks like Zack Snyder is directing his own Star Wars movie spin off based on Seven Samurai?

Lol http://www.io9.com/5975854/holy--zack-snyder-is-working-on-a-star-wars-samurai-movie ...Which Lucas based the Star Wars trilogy in part on. There's also mention that the Star Wars television series (of which 50 episodes were written, which supposedly centers around warring families on Courscant) penned by none other than the guy who revived Battlestar Galactica into a successful series I personally have no interest in watching.

Squee Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Wasn't really sure if this required a new thread or not... so I decided to post it here It's now official. J.J. Abrams is directing Star Wars Episode VII. I'm actually kinda pleased with this. http://collider.com/j-j-abrams-star-wars/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackdust Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 I don't know what to think. If he hadn't already done star trek id be excited. But now he is just monopolising scfi! Star trek with wookies... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nebraska Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 i'm glad i was never a star wars fan because this would actually be bad news. this guy is the seth macfarlane of hollywood. and the sad part is that he's also signed up to do another star trek movie. might as well just throw every other remake his way so we get massive box sets of crap rehashes on blu-ray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest zaphod Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 he's a total hack and only seems to know how to market a film, not make one. so he's probably the perfect choice for star wars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I (if you've seen me bitch on other parts of this forum already know this) feel this way about most of the new music coming out, the marketing for it is brilliantly done, so good in fact that you can't help but be underwhelmed by the actual content of what their marketing.

Guest Frankie5fingers Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 i think youve all forgotten the fact that the three prequels were fucking horrible. anyone would be a step up from those shitty ass movies. granted JJ may not be the best choice, but its still better than what George Lucas was doing.
