Which Star Wars would you like to see next?

[bigbluntz]

What part of the Star Wars Expanded Universe would you most like to see in a live-action film or animated series?

Personally I woulda luv'd to see Dark Empire made after Return of the Jedi, sadly it will never happen. Pretty much anything with Mara Jade I would like to see :smile: I think "Golden Age" & "Fall of the Sith" might be interesting. As would "Knights of the Old Republic", the "Last of The Jedi" & "the Sith Wars". Anything from The New Jedi Order Era or the Legacy Era would be great too :biggrin:

[FaSoME]

I'd like to see either the life of jango or boba fett made into a live action film...

[brotherfury]

Legacy... love Darth Talon!

[BeastieRunner]

A reboot 20-30 years from now.

[DonC]

I'd like to see a good Clone Wars movie. Animated or otherwise.

[Mike Pothier]

I'd like to see a Star Wars movie that focused less on the Jedi and more on a Han Solo type action star.

[Legato]

A reboot 20-30 years from now.

Only if Lucus has ZERO creative control.

[Ilash]

A TV show based on those X-Wing: Rogue Squadron novels could be loads of fun.

[BlueOrange25]

Only if Lucus has ZERO creative control.

Haha :smile:

I don't mind if he's there as executive producer or 'executive creative director' or whatever. As long as the director is someone else. Oh, and please give the script to a writer who can give us lines that don't make us squirm. I'd like to see Joss Whedon given a chance in the director's chair.

As for the story itself, I'd like to see either a film from the KOTOR era, or perhaps the Thrawn Trilogy.

[Legato]

After Astonishing X-Men Im cautious when it comes to Whedon. Sure he does well when it is his own material but other material that isn't his own is a different issue.

I wouldn't mind Abrams directing Star Wars. He practically saved the Star Trek film franchise and he has proven that he can do SciFi.

[Rattlehead]

I say this as a former uber Star Wars nerd, I want it to go away and never be touched again. I've come to realize that the original trilogy was the only story worth telling in that particular universe. Even the good books in the EU are really just veiled rehashes of that trilogy. The Thrawn trilogy that everyone splooges over is especially guilty of that. Luke was the true chosen one, he restored balance to the force as was prophetized, Han and Leia get married, everyone lives happily ever after, the end. This idea of the Empire being some monolithic force that the EU has is ludicrous. The Empire was Palpatine and Vader. It dies with them.

[Pól Rua]

'Star Wars VII: The Secret of the New Death Star, Boba Fett Goes To The Sun and R2D2 Fights A Lava Snake'.

It has TWO CHEWBACCAS!!!

[Ontir]

Star Wars Episode 1A: this time it won't suck, we promise!

[mgs]

A reboot 20-30 years from now.
exactly. I really can't stand the prequels too much.

I'd be happy with a re-boot of them, in a couple of years. Ya know, re-doing the prequels. :smile:

[GRANT!]

Ewoks vs. Gungans!

[Legato]

exactly. I really can't stand the prequels too much.

I'd be happy with a re-boot of them, in a couple of years. Ya know, re-doing the prequels. :smile:

Only if...

1. Jar Jar Binks is erased from existance.

2. Take away the science origin of The Force. You know the Jedi Force is created by Aliens.:rolleyes: I would much rather The Force be something that is unexplained and mysterious.

3. Anakin is developed to being as badass as Original Trilogy Darth Vader.

4. Make the romance scenes less cheesy.

Hopefully Lucus would learn his lesson and not have complete involvement in the remake in 20 Years.

BTW. I would much prefer the original trilogy not be remade. I know Hollywood has been going crazy with remakes but I hope they are smart enough to leave the original trilogy alone.

[GRANT!]

Outside of George Lucas throwing a IV on the first movie did we really need the prequels? Was there anything we learned in those movies that made the original series better? I wanted Star Wars sequels. When I was a kid I thought once I-III were over we'd get more adventures with the original crew.

[Jared]

George Lucas doesn't exactly look like a man who we can expect to be around in 20 years. He says he's left instructions for no more live-action movies after he dies, though the SW franchise will continue. But I'm curious as to how binding such instructions can actually be, and I'm sure the studio will be more than eager to break out the cash cow as soon as possible.

I doubt I'd ever want to see the original trilogy recast and remade during my lifetime. Aside from modernizing all the FX (again), what would possibly be the point? And the FX can be redone without changing the whole movie. Once we reach the point and anything and everything on-screen can look completely photorealistic, there'll be no further need for improvements, at least until we invent holodecks or something.

I would be interested in seeing the further adventures of Luke and co explored in an animated format. Because there are large swaths of the post ROTJ EU that I loathe, I'm ambivalent as to whether they should adapt those stories or just go a completely different direction.

I mentioned in another thread that Knights of the Old Republic would make a great series. I think it could work animated or live action, though animated might be better for the tone. Each issue could be one or two episodes. There's no prior knowledge required and a tone that is remiscent of A New Hope while the story itself is quite different.

[GRANT!]

I'd imagine after he's gone they will do a remake/reboot.

At some point there will be generations that won't have the same level of nostalgia for the original series like we do.

[DeadXMan]

A Good one!

Lucas himself owns all of the sequel rights to the franchise, which means that he has to sign off on any project using the characters. After he's dead, those rights would pass on to whoever inherits or is in charge of his estate. As long as he leaves explicit orders for how his estate is to be handled and puts someone he trusts to follow those orders in charge, there's not much the studio can do about it.

[MarvelKnight]

A TV show based on those X-Wing: Rogue Squadron novels could be loads of fun.

Yes, now, that would be gnarly.

[Decepticons_Rule]

I'd like to see Star Wars be buried under the ground, especially since the last three movies that were released sucked ass.

[G. Wayne]

Revan's story as a new trilogy following the canon ending. Give some time to each planet, and ample opportunity for characterization for the supporting characters. Follow this up with a fleshed out version of what happens to the Exile as parts 4-6.

KotOR FTW, as they say.

[Legato]

A Good one!

Only if Lucus doesn't have full involvement buddy.

A animated movie about Han Solo's days as a Space Smuggler would be nice

[lonewolf23k]

Only if Lucus has ZERO creative control.

30 years from now, that shouldn't be an issue... :evilsmile:

[Legato]

30 years from now, that shouldn't be an issue... :evilsmile:

Especially given that he would be to old to have any say on the issue by then.:wink:

If Genndy Tartakovsky becomes a big time director by then I would like to see him direct the Prequel Reboot.

[Sabrina_Fried]

A TV show based on those X-Wing: Rogue Squadron novels could be loads of fun.

Seconded!

Though I can't decide whether it would be better as an animated show (and I mean traditional-style animation, definitly not the ho-hum CG stuff of the latest Clone Wars cartoon), or big-budget live action.

I'll also second the other calls for a total reboot. I don't know what it is lately, but Star Wars used to have me hanging off the edge of my seat and cursing the days until the next book/comic/whatever. These days I read the solicits for half the things and say to myself: "meh."

Sabrina

[The Zapper]

This thread is hilarious. I nearly laughed my ass off reading it.

[Jared]

Star Wars is much healthier these days than Star Trek was for years before it neccessitated a reboot. I don't think there's any reason to even consider it for at least a few decades. All the prequels were successful. The Clone Wars show is successful. The comics and novels and videogames are usually successful.

It's still cooler (relatively speaking) to wear a Star Wars T-shirt than anything to do with Star Trek on it.

[KiFF86]

I'd like to see Star Wars be buried under the ground, especially since the last three movies that were released sucked ass.

That means you like PM, or does that mean we just dismiss the abortion that was the animated movie.

[Toonimator]

I wouldn't mind seeing the Rogue Squadron comics & books adapted. Part of me would love to see the Thrawn Trilogy adapted... the part of me that read it back in the early '90s, when it MIGHT have been possible and I wasn't as aware of quite so many flaws in it. KOTOR, comics or games. I've enjoyed both.

If the comics, though, they'd need to 'adapt' more. Can't drag things out as long as Demagol/Rohlan and "Why's Jarael so special?" Coming up on revealing one or both, soon, though. The first game makes for a great story; not sure the second could as easily be diced up into its own 'trilogy', partly because the game was incomplete. It COULD work, though. First game's a natural. Each planet's got enough story on it to fill up a lot of time, so if they strip some of it down to a few elements they can probably get through it all.

No more Clone Wars for anything new. I like the series, but wouldn't wanna see a live-action film or series set in it.

Part of me would really like to see a reboot... of post-ROTJ EU! As films, series, whatever. Strip the bad (Glove of Darth Vader, Crystal Star, Darksaber, etc), leave the good (Thrawn, Mara, Karrde, Corran, Jedi school on Yavin IV and later Ossus, the Solo kids, stuff like that) and reimagine it to something far more cohesive than Bantam's old hodge-podge "Hey there's a year gap between these two books, let's put something in that won't be referenced at all by the book that takes place a few months after it!" and Del Rey's "Ok, we've got a new movie, let's name-drop some species & locations & intel... ok, another movie's out now, let's throw in some new info again, that the characters only just discovered... now ALL the prequels are out, so we can finally have Luke & Leia learn about their mother 30 years after their dad died!"

One reimagining I'd like to see is Mara Jade. I like Mara, I don't particularly feel the need to have some mental echo torturing her for years until she can kill "a" Luke Skywalker; she should be able to get over "the last command" on her own, through working with Luke during the Thrawn crisis. At the same time, though, I loved the idea of Luke giving her his old recovered lightsaber which the clone had, so the Anakin/Luke blue-bladed saber lived on, and eventually became part of the family again when they got married. I guess it's not necessary; most cover artists show her with her purple Emperor's Hand lightsaber anyway, even though there's no reason for her to have it in the post-ROTJ timeframe.

Do away with Dark Empire. Or, at least, make it relate more to the Thrawn Trilogy (ie, don't have the Republic back on the run as "the Rebel Alliance" again, with Coruscant a warzone and the Empire in full swing when Thrawn had been their best bet and was defeated), don't have the Emperor body-jumping every 10 minutes, don't have some massive "Super Star Destroyers? Pfft, those things are SMALL" Imperial fleet hidden in the galactic core...

There's a lot I like in post-ROTJ EU, so it'd be fun to see it. Just... streamline it all.

Re: movie reboots, someone said they'd like to see Anakin as more of a badass like Vader in the OT. I kinda agree... I guess I pictured him as more of a Han Solo Jedi. Brash, cocky, rakish... not a whiny bastard with obsessive tendencies toward women and violent homicidal rampages. And Padme, I expected a lot more of her daughter in her. "Even in a gown, I'll kick some ass." Instead, she was more "Even in a gown, I'll change into ANOTHER gown to walk down this hallway, then change into a 3rd gown to enter the room at the end of the hall."

And unoriginal tho it may be, I kinda wish their romance was more like Han & Leia. Butting heads, trading barbs, but sticking with each other.

So, I wouldn't mind seeing reboots of the films, either. Do up the PT in a more natural way, leading organically into the revamped OT so they feel part of a whole, not a jarring change with plot holes galore and the most random and tenuous connections.

Alright, enough rambling from me. :)

[bigbluntz]

They need to do Mara Jade & Luke, it would be way better than Padme & Anakin. Plus more Han & Leia! :biggrin:

[HotDawgJohnny]

We need A star wars movie written By Joss Whedon , and Directed by J.J Abrams that focuses on the Knights of the old republic times.

[Jared]

Unless/until Joss Whedon can write dialouge that doesn't sound like Joss Whedon Dialouge, I don't want him doing a Star Wars on the screen. His style is fine for his own stuff, but it just isn't Star Wars, or Star Trek, for that matter.

That said, Dark Horse should get him to do a SW comic, even just a mini. Guaranteed sales boost, if nothing else.

[Stony]

More Admiral Ackbar - the Winston Churchill of Star Wars

[BeastieRunner]

Only if Lucus has ZERO creative control.

Agreed. But he did create it and without him, we would never of had it.

A TV show based on those X-Wing: Rogue Squadron novels could be loads of fun.

That would be aces!

If they reboot 20-30 years from now with the intention of making 4-5-6, then 1-2-3, & finally 7-8-9 ... I would be happy. All they really need to do is draft out the whole series and plan it that way and it will be great.

My only real complaint is Han shot first, Anakin should've be older, Episode I should've set up the Clone Wars, & Episode II should have been about the CLONE WARS.

[HotDawgJohnny]

I was kidding I don't wont whedon or Abrams near the series.
I rather have Paul W.S Anderson do a Bounty Hunter series featuring Boba Fett's team, 4 lom, zuckuss, and so on.

Agreed. I would actually want Joss to do something whare the dialogue is different than his usual, adults sounding like teenagers, dialogue. As I said before the man is great when it comes to doing his own material but I dont want him doing another material that isn't his own

[HotDawgJohnny]

He's too stilted, he presents a piece of art to some one, and thats what you get.
I rather have a dark horse candidate helm something like Star War and take the risk, of having it being a big miss or big hit.

[HotDawgJohnny]

But with out getting on a whole Abrams shmeal ,
The whole clone wars thing needs to take a back seat. I rather have like a said a Bounty hunter hook, or just go ahead with dark empire

[Legato]

Star Wars is big enough that they dont just have to focus on the timeline that involves Darth Vader, Luke, Leia, etc. As others have said I wouldn't mind a movie set in the KOTOR universe. Maybe a movie about Han Solo

[HotDawgJohnny]

Han Solo, what and the card games he's won, his bonding with Lando , the first time he meets Chewie? How is that stepping outa prime timeline?
See I like the Jabba tales and the Sith realm, the dark side stuff, I rather see that kinda Star Wars not the kinda star wars movie that looks like its trapped between Phantom Menace and Clone wars.

No better way to reboot a franchise than to start right from the beginning, meaning the origins of the the Force, the Jedis and the Sith.

Yes, gritty and dark, the very things that made us love Star Wars!

[Legato]

Empire Strikes Back was definitly the darkest of the original Trilogy and quite possibly the better of the Original Trilogy.

[Toonimator]

Yeah, there were dark elements in Empire Strikes Back, but still a lot of light stuff, too. It's just some dark stuff happened to the characters by the end... yet it still ends with hope, the heroes survive, plan to rescue their one missing comrade, Luke seems upbeat despite learning his dad's a mass-murdering villain... but saying it's "dark and gritty" and any new SW should be "dark and gritty"? Please. Yeah, let's have a movie all about the dark side of the Force, that'll be a fun bit of adventure! WOO! Go Sith! Kill everyone! Yeah!

hmmm, so it'd be kinda like "Firefly" without the anorexic "Plot Device Girl"?

seriously--when I watched that show for the first time I was thinking:

"so... we're building a show around a thinly-veiled Han Solo knock-off? cool, I can live with that."

[Jared]

As I recall, Whedon got the idea for Firefly after reading a book about the Civil War and then finding his thoughts drifting, as they often do, to the Millenium Falcon.

If you think about it, most of the Serenity's crew are just Han and Chewy seperated into more characters. There's the mercenary gunsling with a heart of gold, the crazy ace pilot, the fiercely loyal friend, the big fearsome lug, the plucky but brilliant engineer.

[Gibbering Fool]

Id be happy to see a Star Wars movie that doesn't rely so heavily on Jedi.

[OhMyGato]

Expanded universe novels should be adapted using Lucas' original idea to make movies 7 8 and 9

[Legato]

Same here. But Jedi are Lucus's cash cow so he has to incorporate them in some way

With that said I think I got the perfect idea for the next star wars series

[Norrin Radd]

One of the beautiful things about the Star Trek reboot is the feeling that anything can happen since it is clearly established as taking place in an alternate universe.

Star Wars needs that feeling again.

I like KOTR as much as anyone, but Star Wars needs a sense of unpredictability that a prequel cannot provide.

I don't think time travel is a good idea for the more fantasy-oriented Star Wars universe. Therefore, I'd instead make the new movies take place far in the future of the Star Wars galaxy. Maybe they could make references to the "heroes of yore", such as Skywalker and Solo. But let the past be the past and explore completely new characters, storylines, and themes.

[HotDawgJohnny]

[G. Wayne]

Do you mean -just- the Jedi, or anything that's Force/lightsaber related? Either way, couldn't disagree more. To me, Star Wars without the Force and the factions that use it (though the Mandalorians get points) is just a generic sci-fi setting.

[IamBATFAN]

I could not disagree more. The last thing she should ever do is get into the origin of the Force.

she?

Regardless if you like the midichloriens thing or not, it'd be cool to see how everything got started.

Tell that to Nien Nunb.


It'd be refreshing to see a Star Wars story with a Jedi who DOESN'T steal the spotlight. Maybe the Jedi can be a screw-up sorta like Zayne Carrick, or just not in the right place at the right time, so the Han-ish character pulls off the major heroics.

[mgs]

What part of the Star Wars Expanded Universe would you most like to see in a live-action film or animated series?

Honestly, it should be in order.

That way, the technology will be able to follow the real world advances in cinematic technology.

It won't be like how the prequels were done, where there was better tech in the prequels, yet, somehow, it was in the past, before the original 3.

In order would give time that is necessary to catch up to the storytelling, imo.

[Phil Clark]

I think it is time for George Lucas to find the next, well, him and give the new film maker full reign to reboot the series and make them in order, and then continue the series into episodes 7-9 based on George's original outline.

[Salvester]

Grand Admiral Thrawn

[DrDoom616]

A New Trilogy following on after Episode VI

[ThisMortalSoil]

I would like to see a television series based on the Shadows of the Empire video game. Then I would like to see a strategy RPG based on the television series, followed by a CGI war film based on the strategy RPG.

Seriously, it can be said that SOTE was a bit overdone with the comic, novel, AND video game, but it's the only SW "Expanded Universe" stuff I could really get into. I think it would be great if it could be done with photorealistic CGI, using the original actor's likenesses. Clone Wars' stylization was pretty neat but I'd prefer a SOTE film/miniseries to not visually stand out from the original trilogy

[Ziggy Stardust]

A New Trilogy following on after Episode VI

Then the answer is this:

Grand Admiral Thrawn

[Captain Smith]

More Robot Chicken Star Wars!!

[Jared]

People always say that want to see Thrawn, but in an animated format, he'd be a really boring villain. If you put enough focus on Joruus C'Baoth, the other villain of the trilogy, it might work. But otherwise, a guy who never does any action, never shows much emotion, never communicates with the main heroes and just talks and plans isn't going to be very interesting on the screen. Is anyone captivated by watching somebody play a table-top RPG? Because that's pretty much Thrawn. If it was live action and you had a great actor he could work. Jeremy Irons, for instance. But obviously that will never happen.

Luke Skywalker and the Shadows of Mindor is the best post-ROTJ book I've seen. It's pulpy, action-packed, dark without getting *too* dark. It could be a really kick-ass project.
