Next you'll be telling ua Mace Windu returns as well

Yeah, turned out he didn't lose his hand, he lost his eye. He also runs a law enforcement agency after changing his name to Nick Fury.
During that time, he trained a small number of padawans.
"HULK LIKE LIGHT STICK!" *accidentally pokes self in the eye with a lightsaber* "HULK HATE PUNY LIGHT STICK!"
And thus, the Hulk was responsible for the destruction of Alderaan.

According to all sources "Empire" and "Jedi" writer Lawrence Kasdan is back with the franchise and will co-write the next film with some other dude. At least it´ll be interesting to see wether Kasdan still has it. He DID also wrote the first Indiana Jones, so let´s see if he still has it 30 years later.
If you check the man's filmography it´s a bit of hit and miss but mostly solid movies and some, the older ones, really great.

Sigh.. they shoulda just made "Shadows of the Empire" back then...
Oh and fun fact:Lawrence Kasdan wrote the script or something for the video game based on Shadows.
I read the novel ages ago and while I don't think much of these spin-off kind of novels (I used to read them Battletech novels *shudders*) that one was pretty solid imho.

So there's been a lot of news lately.

One tiny particle of that news has been about George Lucas selling Lucasfilm to Disney for just over $4 billion.

Disney have said that feature films will most definitely be a part of their taking-over of Lucasfilm (and expect Indiana Jones at some point, I guess) and that a "new feature film" will be released in 2015. Whether this will be entitled "Episode VII" is another story. Lucas is staying on as creative consultant, but I suppose the exciting part is that if a decent director is brought in, this new movie (and supposedly, new trilogy) could be brilliant. Out of Lucas's hands, it might be more cohesive than the last trilogy that was released. (Personally, II & III were brilliant, I is getting more annoying to watch as I age, and Hayden Christensen is a terrible, terrible actor)

Essentially, Disney seemed to have let their various money-making factions that they've aquired over the years a lot of independence. Marvel have had their ups and downs, but its been ups since Iron Man came out. Then there's the Pixar thing, with Cars, Toy Story, all that. Very successful. Avengers just pulled in record figures. Its a good time to be a part of that, I think. Disney are obviously a corporation after franchises that they can milk forever more, and while I hate that Star Wars is going to be involved in that, I also love it. It needs a good vision from someone who isn't also writing and directing the thing, surrounded by yes men. A fresh vision could 'reboot' Star Wars in a very good way.

Also, they're talking TV series and a hell of a lot of other stuff. I'm quite excited, but the buyout in general has been interesting, although rather inevitable when you think about it.

I also have no idea where the plot will go for a new film, or who will be in it. I hope that the guys in charge have the clairvoyance to NOT get all the old actors in (Harrison Ford is NEVER coming back), and just do something new. Lots of Expanded Universe stuff to draw from but stuff like the Thrawn or Jedi Academy trilogy rely far too much on Luke Skywalker being the new self-appointed head of the New Jedi Order.

Anyway, geeking out here.

Hayden isn't terrible. He's been fine in every other movie he's been in. According to both him and others, he was told by Lucas to make his character 2d, since evil people can't be sympathetic, ever."

Yes, well Darth Georgious would know about that, wouldn't he

Lupercal · « **Reply #55 on:** 25 Nov 2012, 10:23 »

Well, he certainly wasn't good in Jumper either. Or Awake.

I found it funny that Shattered Glass has him portraying Stephen Glass's rise through an American Magazine called The New Republic

As for Kasdan, I'm sure he'll do a stellar job. Three Lucasfilm releases under his belt and he wrote, directed and produced Wyatt Earp, which isn't as good as Tombstone apparently but I love that film. At this point, without a director or vague idea of a plot, writers and producers are pretty meaningless to me, just names helping the rumour mill going round.

You have to think, how bad can Star Wars really be? If Phantom Menace is as bad as it gets, then its smooth sailing from here.

Attack of the Clones? Hayden Christiansen?

Lupercal · « **Reply #58 on:** 04 Dec 2012, 12:40 »

Surely not considered WORSE than Episode 1?

Thrillho · « **Reply #59 on:** 04 Dec 2012, 13:28 »

Yes, absolutely it is. Attack Of The Clones makes Episode I look like Empire.

Episode I had the kinda cool podracing sequence, and a few kind of iconic images too. Attack Of The Clones had absolutely zero redeeming features.

Bluesummers · « **Reply #60 on:** 04 Dec 2012, 15:37 »

Seconded. At least Darth Maul was a badass character...I kinda wished he lasted longer, but that's what you get for killing Liam Neeson.

Well, that's sure as hell blown my pre-conceived ideas about Star Wars fans' opinions wide open.

Episode II...well, lets see. I liked the Jedi starfighters. Obi-Wan's mullet is funny. The depth charges make a cool sound...?

Oh, and reports suggest its being re-released in 3D in September next year.

Bluesummers · « **Reply #64 on:** 05 Dec 2012, 19:15 »

Don't forget everyone's favorite paradox: Count Dooku.

And you thought Jar-Jar Binks was a bar character name. No wonder he turned evil, took the name Darth Tyranus, and ate the heart (and thus consumed the powers) of Christopher Lee.

Also, Palpatine's "I can feel your anger" to Anakin, freshly frazzled/burnt from the fight with Mace Windu, is way to sexual for my liking.

He said it to Luke like he was annoyed with his foolish 'light side' ideals.

He said it to Anakin like his meatsaber was igniting under his cloak.

He was barely a character--he was basically a prop.

I mean, what can you say about him except that he had a double-bladed light saber? (Ok, bladed might technically be the right term, but you know what I mean.)

Darth Maul had a lot of potential, but it was never used.

yes he did do the star trek movies, but he has said when he was doing the star trek movies he wasnt a star trek fan, he did say however that he was a star wars fan. He even put a floating R2D2 in the wreckage when the enterprise arrived at vulcan to fight the bad guy. Its one of those "blink and you miss it" moments. So now we have a star wars fan making a star wars movie after reviving the star trek franchise.

hopefully there will not be a ton of lens flare.

I can see Eddie Murphy in any movie, he's just hilarious.

Shia Bidoof (I don't care how he spells his name, he'll always be an annoying little beaver-twat) can go eat a dick. I'm serious, he didn't even belong in "I, Robot"...I still wish Will Smith would have shot him.

..The Klumps?

Well back in the early 21st Century Shia was only playing supporting roles at best. He was a minor annoyance in that movie, no more annoying than say, living in the future and wanting shoes from 2004. I mean, who now wants shoes made in the 1800s?

Oh, and more news on the spin-offs - Ewan McGregor has expressed interest in a role for the Obi-Wan years between III and IV. (anybody else think its a really annoying time frame to keep focusing on? Destroying all myth from the original film whilst totally ignoring say, the Old Republic or New Jedi Order. Or any time before/after those eras, which is pretty much infinite). He seems to have forgotten his disdain for the films. Perhaps looking up at a green screen for three films wasn't that bad?
