urluckyday Posted February 5, 2004 Share Posted February 5, 2004 Hello! I have a question to ask all you! I'm just asking your opinions! Do you think that the Star Wars legacy will fade after the last movie is made. I know that it won't right away, but in like maybe 40 years, don't you think people will forget about, or will they just get some new director to make more. Well thanks for all your replies! I say keep the legacy goin! Spread the word, Star Wars is in!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynk Former Posted February 5, 2004 Share Posted February 5, 2004 People will try to keep the flag raised and going but eventually Star Wars-mania wil die. Bigger and better things have and will take its place and it will and has already been seen by others as an old classic. The Prequals movies never made quite the same impact the Original Trilogy did. Episode 3 will be pretty kewl and all, we'll see a lot of people try to drag out the SW lifespan even further but all good things must come to an end... before it gets old and tiring and overused and raped... you know what i mean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sivy Posted February 5, 2004 Share Posted February 5, 2004 well the OT is still popular after 27 years, whether or not the prequels will make it last another 27 years remains to be seen. but there will be more games and books to keep it going for awhile.

urluckyday Posted February 6, 2004 Author Share Posted February 6, 2004 Sadly enough I have to agree with Lynkformer, and say that the series will probably die. I fear for that day when it comes. If it does fail, several people will be lost in the mix as losers who still like the old Star Wars...Sadly enough...the series will fade away to become just another movie.

Darth Homer Posted February 6, 2004 Share Posted February 6, 2004 Movies can live on, as evidenced by such movies as Gone with the Wind and The Wizard of Oz. Truly great movies will live in our memories and may eventually be the kind of niche markets that each of the classics I mentioned are today. They won't be as big or as popular, but will still have a place in our collective history and culture. Wow, that was kinda eloquent. I do hope the universe is opened to other people who want to create movies using the SW theme, but with all new characters and locations (and all scripts must get the GL Seal of Approval).

Snafu7 Posted February 6, 2004 Share Posted February 6, 2004 It will eventually die down, because younger kids then will find it corny, or sumthing, but to some people it wont Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedi_Vogel Posted February 6, 2004 Share Posted February 6, 2004 What goes up must come down. But those who took the time to read more into what was behind SW will remember it and videos/dvds will be passed down a few generations. I tend to agree that a better series will probably take its place as the forerunner (I reckon the Matrix got pretty darned close) but I don't think it will ever be completely forgotten. ...or rather I hope it won't.

Lynk Former Posted February 6, 2004 Share Posted February 6, 2004 Does Gone with the Wind have a active fanbase like SW? I'm saying one day SW will be reduced to an old classic level and will still be liked, but will be one of those movies set aside cause it's been seen so many times.

Jedi_Monk Posted February 7, 2004 Share Posted February 7, 2004 Like Darth Homer said, great movies can live on, and Star Wars is a great movie, all six chapters of it. Star Wars revolutionized film making, and that's just stating the obvious. Before Star Wars, sci-fi was just for kids, meaning without Lucas, you wouldn't have your Matrix or Alien movies. The technological achievement of Star Wars alone is enough to get it remembered in film texts for as long as the medium survives or is discussed.

Glaive v.1 Posted February 18, 2004 Share Posted February 18, 2004 i think that the star wars mania will die down but i don't think it will ever completly die. As long as there are geeks in the world there will be a star wars...well thats my opinon. long live star wars yeh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leXX Posted February 18, 2004 Share Posted February 18, 2004 I was still obsessed with Star Wars after Return of the Jedi, and I will still be obsessed after Ep3. The hype from the prequel trilogy and new games such as KotOR will die down eventually, but there will still be dedicated fans such as myself out there, still playing the games and reading the comics and collecting the toys. Long live Star Wars! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dark jedi 8 Posted February 19, 2004 Share Posted February 19, 2004 as long as we pass the knowledge of starwars to the next generation and so on it has a chance. plus gone with the wind did not have the internet to keep a fanbase, but their are still people that like it. I hope one of lucas' kids or lucas himself will approve of others continuing his story one day... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long live Star Wars! I couldn't agree more. I grew up with these movies and I continue to enjoy them tremendously. They have had an effect on my life...though I'm not sure yet if it's a good one or bad one lol. I'll be watching the movies 40 years from now.

Master_Ginn Posted February 25, 2004 Share Posted February 25, 2004 Think of it this way. I was a fan after it had been out for 15 years! Perhaps that will happen with the prequals? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukeiamyourdad Posted February 27, 2004 Share Posted February 27, 2004 I highly doubt the prequels will live as long as the OT. They won't. But be sure that my kids will be watching these movies and playing SW video games as part of their education ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
