3 more star wars films planned

[PrinceTuiTeka]

George is making the final three films by the looks of things. I wish someone would euthanase him before he wrecks this beloved saga any further.

Edit: I take that back. Disney has bought the rights and George will be neither directing or writing the new films. This could be much much worse.

[Retardobot]

George Lucas will only be serving as 'creative consultant'.

Also, tron legacy was pretty awesome...

TRON: Uprising - Elijah Wood.

inb4 Spig makes a bad dick joke.

Disney aren't so bad. They SOMETIMES know when to take a knee and allow those who know what they're doing to push out a good job.

Also inb4 Spig makes a shit joke.

I never ever expected there would ever be 3 more star wars films.

And I would have never thought that Lucasfilm would be bought by Disney.


This is a strange day of strange things, I expect they'll annonce they have found big foot soon.

[Apostrophe Spacemonkey]

But i'm all for 3 more star wars films. But I do wonder where they will go with them, can't really reuse any of the charaters (If they are set after 4,5,6).

$tarwar$

[BerG]

Shit.

That was unexpected.

They should get the Dredd 3D crew on to this. No fucking around. No Jar Jar Binx.

Karl Urban can be Darth Vader. He can go around saying "Skywalker is not the Force. I am the Force." All whilst graphically cutting peoples heads off with his lightsaber.


Will be awesome.

Star Wars has an entire back story to choose from.

There's an assload of books that they can choose to make into movies. The main books are episodes 1 through to 9. George never wanted to make episodes 7, 8 & 9 into movies.

7 8 9 would surely have to follow from 4 5 6....THIS IS COUNTING PEOPLE!

No but seriously lucas always expected to make 9 films, he just ran out of time and fucks I think, so I'm sure somewhere in skywalker ranch he's got a fairly well detailed plot and things.

[EnjoyTheSauce]

I seem to recall that Starwars games and other media aren't allowed to touch the 40 years following the end of 6 in case George wanted to make more movies.

[PrinceTuiTeka]

The books definitely carry on past the 6th movie. iirc they start following Luke's son. Endless avenues to follow. I can just see them having such a different feel and  it will always be hard to capture the vibe of the original trilogy anyway, episodes 1-3 being the case in point.

Yes, i've read many of the books, I used to be a big fan of them. I guess they could base the movies around Han and Leia's kids, but who would play Han and Leia?

Well there are about 50 books in the following 40 years.

Reaction a bit like this

[Retardobot]

Is that the snoo-snoo episode?

If they've got adult kids what's wrong with harry and carrie?

Not as romantic as one might expect?

I am john connor or whatever was SHITE

[The Demon Lord]

Shit.

Will be awesome.

Except that Vader became a force ghost at the end of Return of the Jedi.

Personally I would love to see Harrison ford as Han again, if played well he could still be every bit the bad-ass he was in the original (reference Eastwood in Gran Torino)

I just hope to god that if they do actually make the films they do this:

1: Hire someone to direct that can Direct
2: Hire a fan of the series so they treat it with the reverence it deserves instead of raping it for the cash cow it is
3: No Black Minstrels
4: Get back to what made Star Wars Great:

a Story that doesn't age.
Western inspired bravado and characters
Actual dog fight inspired space combat scenes (has anyone seen the original reel that George spliced together of Gun Camera footage from WW2 and then the side by side shots that you see in Star Wars?)
A Musical Score and themes for Characters (the Imperial March is Boss)
Push the limits of Science and Technology, but keep it semi possible

3 more star wars films planned

[mattnz]

Yeah, don't see how they could fuck it up any worse than Lucas already did.

[Apostrophe Spacemonkey]

Is that the snoo-snoo episode?

Death by snoo-snoo!!!


Yes, i'm feeling the same way.

[Bounty Hunter]

Have you not seen movies? they don't tend to take photos of people from 2ft with a 600W hallogen bulb, or when they're nipping down to the shops.

Harrrison Ford in Cowboys and Aliens:

That is actually Han Solo with a cowboy hat.

Carrie Fisher in "The Women" in 2008

She's still hotter than your mum....
