is it true ???!!!

[Guest Fondas]

No, I was talking about Zahn's trilogy, Heir to the Empire, Dark Force Rising and The Last Command

 

That would be a great trilogy on screen !

[Flying Beastie]

Ah, the Thrawn Trilogy.

 

Pros:

*Seeing Bruce Campbell as Talon Karrde. (Can you honestly tell me that, after Xena's Autolycus and Jack of all Trades you can't see it?)

*Seeing the beginnings of the Mara/Luke sparkage.

*Vornskrs (the whole Myrkr forest sequence was basically Jurassic Park in Star Wars).

*Thrawn in all his imperious glory.

*The noghri doing their Jet Li bit.

 

Cons:

*The "official" CGI bothans that'd look like goat-people, rather than the cool-looking Planet of the Apes-ish beings envisioned by Mike Vilardi.

*Hollywood trying to turn Mara into a traditional movie heroine, who ends up in Skywalker's bed by the third act.

*The ridiculous comic-relief character that Lucas would shoehorn in to make it kid-friendly.

*The noghri inevitably turning into bald ewoks (see above).

*Censors wouldn't let Rukh stab Thrawn (can't show blood in a Star Wars movie).

 

Besides, I already visualize it better in my head than Lucasfilm or even ILM ever could (IMHO, of course).

 

Y'see, with books, the acting is always Oscar calibre, the special effects are mind-blowing, and the directing is brilliant.

It's like I always say: When the going gets tough, the tough . . . switch to artillery.

There has been blood in SW movies. ANH, the Catina scene Ben slices off an arm. TPM Obi-wan slices Maulie in half.

[Nute Gunray]

The widescreen version of TPM shows a nice red mist come up when Maul gets it.
