Things you want explained in the new Star Wars TV show

[SlightlyMad]

Maybe Leia could tell us who was the better kisser: Han or Luke?

Actually, it was Chewie! ;)

I want to know how the Force was relegated to "sorcerous ways" and an "ancient religion" within the space of 16 years.

I do not think it would ever happen, lucas is a jackass that way. I would love to see an extended dvd of the original starwars ep 4 to show all the scenes that were taken out with Biggs that were there in the original showing. But as time went own, he removed them. I also remember that they took out scenes that had all of Luke's friends hanging out. I would love to see that.
I think Lucas would have made a bigger mint if he would have done a release of the dvd with 2 versions, original theatrical release version and that of the final release.

I don't think those scenes were in any theatrical cut.

All I've got is

What happened to Palpatine's entourage (the blue guy with the horns and the pasty looking bald lady) to get them out of the way before Episode IV?

Did George Lucas suffer some kind of terrible head injury between the OT and the prequels?

Did George Lucas suffer some kind of terrible head injury between the OT and the prequels?

No, he just stopped relying upon other talented directors and screenwriters to get his ideas across.

Although the original Star Wars was directed and written by Lucas, the script had an uncredited polish by Willard Huyck and Gloria Katz, which loosened up a lot of the stiff dialogue and gave the film a much stronger, and much needed, sense of humor. In the next two films, the scripts were written by others like Lawrence Kasdan and directed by people who actually engaged the actors on an emotional level.

The prequels were all written & directed by Lucas. There was a co-writer on Attack of the Clones and Tom Stoppard apparently did a polish on Revenge of the Sith, but the prequels are largely all Lucas, whereas the original films were far more of a collaborative effort, in terms of the writing and direction.

I want to know how Uncle Owen and Aunt Beru went from looking like they stepped out of Dawsons Creek at the end of Sith to being geriatrics in just under 20 years.

Actually, that one is pretty easy. 20 years in the desert ain't kind to a person.

Its from TROOPS, Beru was a drunk and I am sure they did not moisturized enough.

[Crimson Avenger]

Having to deal with two suns probably didn't help Owen & Beru retain their youth, either.

[shades of eternity]

another question is how much did the late great jim henson help with the aliens.

quite frankly most of the aliens in the prequals were kinda racist.

its a tv show not a essay on star wars people :)



anyways i wanna know what was yoda doing on dagobah those 20 years

[blackdragon6]

oh yeah one more thing I absaloutely love the CLONE WARS cartoon and I think they should fills the gap between Episode 1 and 2. It's a 10 year grap so there is lots of stuff that can be covered.

Like to see some more about Tarkin (Possibly played by Wayne Prygam as he was in SITH-but hopefully with more screen time and better makeup!). Tarkin was a pretty important character in the first film, but what we got in the prequels amounted to only a cameo. Although some of Tarkin's backstory has been fleshed out in some of the novels, there's really been nothing major done with the character.

Henson really only advised a bit on Yoda. It was his colleague and fellow muppeteer Frank Oz who was the voice and 'hand' behind Yoda, although in the last two prequels Yoda was only voiced by Oz (Oz has also for the most part relinquished his muppet duties to another mupeteer).

[The Batman]

perhaps adventures of a certain helmeted bounty hunter in the era between Episodes III and IV with the expansion of the Empire in the background. honestly there's nothing that i really want explained that would be able to support an ongoing television series.

my only real concern about this is that it doesn't become a tale of Luke Skywalker's youth; a sort of Smallville in the Star Wars universe.

Darth Vader frees all of the slaves on Tatooine only to put the entire planet under Empire control.
