Re: Star Wars SEQUELS Rumored!
I don't even remember what the Thrawn Trilogy was about. Weird since I know a lot of SW fans who would chew my ear off about it.

Re: Star Wars SEQUELS Rumored!
I think Hamill would be game for just about anything... but the best we could get with Ford would be Solo and Chewie having a drink at a cantina, rambling about the old days... maybe he gives his ship to whatever new characters we're following around... says some of his old lines. It's fun to think about but I doubt even that would happen.

Oh and I'd love a live-action equivalent of this:

Re: Star Wars SEQUELS Rumored!
Sometimes it seems like they are beloved because they were the first Star Wars anything after an extended period of having nothing save for an RPG and a couple of 3D comic books.
I admit I enjoyed the first book when I read it upon release. Then the second I felt was crap and I didn't even bother with the 3rd. I like the idea of Thrawn as one of the few (or only?) aliens serving in the Empire. I liked Mara Jade too. I was done with the books after Shadows of The Empire. ugh . . .
That said, I don't see why LFL can't do some direct to DVD animated in the Clone Wars style adapting Heir To The Empire. Maybe condensed they'd be better.

Yeah, the old republic video games seem like they'd work ok as movies. Thrawn trilogy is/was an EU favorite because of Mara Jade. I think it's an OK trilogy, one of the better EU books but that's not saying much, probably wouldn't work well in movies.
I haven't read the darth bane books so I don't know how good they were. I might be interested in movies based on the legacy comics.

Man, I would love a CG Thrawn trilogy. I loved those books. Outside of a random book here or there, it was all downhill from there.

Re: Star Wars SEQUELS Rumored!
As soon as I saw clips of what they're doing with the CGI version of young Jeff Bridges as Clu in the new Tron Legacy, I wondered why Lucas couldn't do the same with Hamill, Fisher, and Ford is a photo-realistic animated film set just a few years after Return of the Jedi.

Re: Star Wars SEQUELS Rumored!
I'm not saying I actually want to see then given what George Lucas is up to these days, but I always thought CG animated Star Wars sequels would be a way to go, if they had to focus on Luke, Han, and Leia. I imagined something less photorealistic and something more stylized, like cel shading, but it always seemed likely to me.

Re: Star Wars SEQUELS Rumored!
They should give this series to the people that did the new Star Trek movie. I watched that and it was like watching Star Wars again. A sci-fi adventure that was fun and original... it can still be done. Probably not by Lucas and Co though.

Re: Star Wars SEQUELS Rumored!
I'd be interested in seeing one more film done with the original cast. A clever one-picture epilogue tale that forces everyone to dust off their light sabers one last time. Maybe something in tone to "Unforgiven" in space. I'd go see that.

Re: Star Wars SEQUELS Rumored!
A neat way to make the series come full circle is if the new trilogy is set at least one or two generations after the OT. The Rebel forces have grown corrupt from power and the remnants of the Empire come together to overthrow the new galactic government.

I didn't say it would bet preferable, just that the uncanny valley will eventually be crossed. And I can certainly see Lucas utilizing such technology should he want to create further adventures of Han, Luke, and Leia set a couple of years post-ROTJ.

Re: Star Wars SEQUELS Rumored!
I think this rumor is bullshit, but I beg Mr. Lucas not to do Episode 7,8,9! He already tainted the originals with the idiotic special edition changes, now we don't need to bring back Ford, Fisher and Hammil and at their age and put out another shitty trilogy of movies.
Lucas should just stick with the Clone War cartoon crap for kiddies and stay away from anything with Han, Luke and Leia.

I don't hate the prequels like some folks, but I did feel let down by them. Having said that, I'd go see sequels. I'm kind of a SW whore.

Re: Star Wars SEQUELS Rumored!
Saw that. But you can't really expect them to do much else.
I just don't understand LFL's thinking. Just make some new films. Make them good. Tweak 'em and make the TV scripts they have ready to go. When that live action show was announced a lot of fans questioned whether it was monetarily feasible to do a weekly show and ta-da! It's not! Apparently.
AICN had a ridiculous post on the whole subject today, complete with Harry having a near tantrum meltdown in his talkback.

You know, I just looked at the AICN article this morning to see if I had missed anything and, well, I did. Seems he linked to a previous article on AICN where they discuss the rumor of the the 3-D conversions of the SW movies which Lucasfilm denied at the time, but we know are now in the works.
I realize there's always rumors flying about Star Wars, but that little bit certainly made me a little more interested than I was already.
