Lloyd the Master Posted May 12, 2011 Posted May 12, 2011 Sorry guys, I am pretty new to this, as I keep realizing... And dang, I didn't know this was that old news-wise. Must keep my eyes out more. Quote
XimenaPaulina Posted May 13, 2011 Posted May 13, 2011 Seen and it should be in the culture and multi media forum Yep, moving this now to C&M and will be merged to the existing Star Wars topic. Quote
simonjedi Posted May 13, 2011 Posted May 13, 2011 I've heard about the live action show since '07. as far as i was aware the live action series was scrapped due to cost. iI seriously seriously doubt that. Lucas is a billionaire. He can probably afford at least 2 seasons out of his own pocket without a significant dent in the bank account. Hell a SW TV is a licence to print money. He'll get most of it paid for by all the various toys and stuff released for it Quote

He'll get most of it paid for by all the various toys and stuff released for it I have to agree- the biggest thing holding them back is tCW. It's sucking up a whole lot of time (most of which appears to be wasted) that isn't being used for anything else. If they're going to do the live-action series, they're either going to have to work triple time or take tCW out of the picture. Though I don't particularily hate tCW, I would prefer to see what they do with the live-action series. Quote
DarthSion Posted May 13, 2011 Posted May 13, 2011 This is old news, we all have known this for a while.....and I think 'KimT' will move this to the right forum when he makes his appearance today. Which they didn't do, I had a thread here like 2 years ago. http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=26806&st=0&p=463455&hl=live%20action&fromsearch=1entry463455 It has been shelved indefinitely, Lucas himself said at this point in time it will not be made due to estimations of $50 million US to make per episode. Utube video of the man himself saying so. Same as the old rumour of more movies, some set many years before the current 6 movies, or rumours of more past episode 6 which is just retarded. Same as the rumour he doing 3d and blu-ray movies because he hopes to make a billion in sales which will pay for more movies or tv show. Quote
simonjedi Posted May 13, 2011 Posted May 13, 2011 rumours of more past episode 6 which is just retarded. How is that 'retarded' I doubt Lucas will make more films (Because he's pushing 70) but i'll be suprised if there wasn't a VII, VIII and IX in the future (Probably from his kids.) Remember way back in the 70s and 80s Lucas did say he would do 9 movies (It was originallly 12) so there is at least some truth in the rumour Quote

(ending in Palpatine's death) With today's storyline, the saga as it was planned for nine movies has already been finished in six. Quote

There's a lot of potential for a post RotJ film. Hell, Just Adapt the Thrawn Trilogy. Quote
Brickdoctor Posted May 13, 2011 Posted May 13, 2011 Hell, Just Adapt the Thrawn Trilogy. I hope not. His changes might completely alter what we know of that series. Honestly, I don't really want to see any more movies. The story is complete, and if you watch the saga in in-universe chronological order, it ends on a good note with the OT. They've tried a seventh movie (CW), and we all know how that turned out. Quote
simonjedi Posted May 13, 2011 Posted May 13, 2011 They've tried a seventh movie (CW), and we all know how that turned out. Yeah but that was just 3 or 4 episodes thrown together. It wasn't made with a movie release in mind. A theatrical release of s new Star Wars MOVIE could be good. Quote
Clone OPatra Posted May 13, 2011 Posted May 13, 2011 It wasn't made with a movie release in mind. No, I'm pretty sure it was. It wasn't a compilation of episodes; it was actually it's own film. That doesn't make it good, but that's what it was. I have read that Lucas claims Star Wars is the story of Anakin Skywalker, and so anything after RotJ isn't Lucas' story and he doesn't really care about it. That is why he decided against making a 'Luke' trilogy to be set after RotJ. Quote

Actually I do remember reading that it was originally two or three episodes that were made into a film when Lucas decided to take it to theaters. I have read that Lucas claims Star Wars is the story of Anakin Skywalker, and so anything after RotJ isn't Lucas' story and he doesn't really care about it. That is why he decided against making a 'Luke' trilogy to be set after RotJ. Which is just as well, since there's already a lot of future-Luke storyline out there. To get a whole trilogy Lucas'd have to squeeze it into a gap in the novel timeline and invent a new enemy interesting enough for three movies and yet forgettable enough to not be mentioned in any of the currently existing books after that in the timeline, or jump way into the future after Fate of the Jedi.

Besides he has said the current story is over any future movies (except if they do the live action series) will have nothing to do with what we have seen. There could well be 7 - 12 set during the old republic post RotJ he said he won't do. These damn more movie things of people saying post 6, before 1 always end up like those threads from OT losers debating who shot first han or greedo. Quote

Which is too bad, becuase there's so many villains out there that I'd love to see in a live-action film. Quote
CMP Posted May 14, 2011 Posted May 14, 2011 Actually, he says to him, everything EU is not canon. So he'll just ignore it all. Which is utter bullcrap to me. He hasn't made anything EU...well, ever. And all these authors have done that for us. Quote

EU has so much good stuff in it, but Lucas is so self centered in his own work he doesn't bother even trying to see it. Quote
Brickadeer Posted May 14, 2011 Posted May 14, 2011 Does anyone share the view that the sound effect that appears at 2:17 - 2:24 ist from "The Last Hope"? It reminds me of a scene where the Death Star is involved, but I have not checked it yet. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=76y2SrJ6Ctc Quote
simonjedi Posted May 14, 2011 Posted May 14, 2011 No not really, There is a bit that sort of sounds like the music when the Death Star (about 3 seconds onwards.) but not really. Also it's A NEW Hope Gaga has actually referenced Star Wars before, in her 'Telephone' vid http://starwarsblog.starwars.com/index.php/2010/03/12/star-wars-shout-out-by-lady-gaga/ Quote

EU has so much good stuff in it, but Lucas is so self centered in his own work he doesn't bother even trying to see it. Unfortunately. I've said it before, if he would recognize the canonocity of the novels *cough*Traviss' novels in particular*cough*, and get a Clone Wars-era novelist to write the CW show, I would watch it. If you're going to tell a story in a portion of the timeline that popular novelists have been writing in, the easiest way to make it all fit together is to get said novelists to continue what they've already been doing and write storylines for that period.

simonjedi Posted May 19, 2011 Posted May 19, 2011 Pixar Wars (Big image so i'm linking it)) I would watch that film in a heartbeat. Star Tours II Trailer It looks rather bad, The cgi looks really rather basic. Also that Akbar is terrifying. Quote
Mr Man Posted May 19, 2011 Posted May 19, 2011 Pixar Wars (Big image so I'm linking it)) Aww that is so cute especialy the Death Star, and the TIE Bomber. Quote
DarthR2-D2 Posted May 19, 2011 Posted May 19, 2011 Pixar Wars (Big image so i'm linking it)) Thats awesome. Speaking of Pixar, George Lucas and Lucasfilm created it and sold it to Disney. Quote
