Bomberman65 Posted February 24, 2007 Posted February 24, 2007 Hey guys my friend says SW is going downhill cause of all this fan fiction that is canon and TPM and AotC being badly made. I don't know what he's talking about and with this new game (The Force Unleashed) it'll be even better. What are your thoughts on this??
Johnpp Posted February 24, 2007 Posted February 24, 2007 Well, I heard some where that Gourge Lucas is trying to get rid of every trace of Star Wars. I don't know if it is true. I really don't know though.
BongoBob Posted February 24, 2007 Posted February 24, 2007 I think the actual question is does it really matter? You might not have liked TPM or AotC, but what's been made has been made, and there's no changing that. Plus, after reading the article in the latest GI about TFU, I can't f***ing wait for it, so I'd say it has some sparks left
JoeDoe 2.0 Posted February 24, 2007 Posted February 24, 2007 The truth is that SW will never die, some Sw fans are born everyday around the world, and the Force Unleashed game looks totally awesome.
Monkey Mania Posted February 24, 2007 Posted February 24, 2007 Do me a favor and punch your friend in the face.
TiE23 Posted February 24, 2007 Posted February 24, 2007 Hey guys my friend says SW is going downhill cause of all this fan fiction that is canon and TPM and AotC being badly made. Yeah, I want to personally rape R. A. Salvatore for his heresy that is Vector Prime. You just don't kill off a main character, it's the unwritten rules of Star Wars, the idea of death other than of old age is against the rules of the SW universe. Even that you shouldn't even give a date. Also, Anakin dies and Jacen turns to the dark side? NJO can blow me. Plus, I thought the book was poorly written, only had 2 action scenes and lacked detail. X-Wing was a good one, though. I like the part where Corran Horn sticks a pistol under a Storm Trooper's helmet/chin and pulls the trigger, that's real stuff. Also, anyone read the novelizations of the original Star Wars? The opening scene of the movie in the book involves exploded skulls and holes in bodies, blasters hurt, lawl. *Ends short lived and probably mis-informed rant*
Bomberman65 Posted February 24, 2007 Author Posted February 24, 2007 My friend is begining to like Halo better than SW cause of the whole fan fiction thing and some bad SW games. But I'm torn between SW, Halo, and MGS.
TiE23 Posted February 24, 2007 Posted February 24, 2007 But I'm torn between SW, Halo, and MGS. .... >_> .... <_< .... Wait, MGS? You mean Snake? SNAKE? SNAAAAAAAAKE!!! MGS? Don't think I've ever heard of fan fictions for that.
Bomberman65 Posted February 24, 2007 Author Posted February 24, 2007 There is but not many. Those 3 are both great franshises but I don't know which 1 I like better.
Darth Groovy Posted February 24, 2007 Posted February 24, 2007 I think he's full of crap. With the 30th anniversary Star Wars Celebration?! Puhhhleeze....
Lightsaberboy Posted February 24, 2007 Posted February 24, 2007 EU isn't fanfiction and is only considered canon whenever George Lucas feels it should be.
Pho3nix Posted February 24, 2007 Posted February 24, 2007 I think he's full of crap. With the 30th anniversary Star Wars Celebration?! Puhhhleeze.... QFT. Star Wars is never going to die.
Tinny Posted February 24, 2007 Posted February 24, 2007 If you don't like Lucas's new movies or much of the EU stuff then make your own universe with your own canon. Say in my version of StarWars, the original movies and the clone wars cartoons and few duels in the newer movies, and some of the games are canon .
Black Knight of Keno Posted February 24, 2007 Posted February 24, 2007 Some people like Star Wars while some people are gay, you can't help that. However, I think Lucas did go a bit over the top with the prequels. But you also need to remember Lucas is a visionary who has had these great plans going around his head for decades. The first chance he got of pumping them actually into a movie, he did just that, creating the horrible lovechild Episode I proved out to be even if Maul rocked. You think you can make a thousand times better SW movie than Lucas' prequels? Let's give you the pen to write the story and then make it visible with the unlimited access to any CGI you want. I doubt you could resist the urge to start slamming awful CGI effects her and there. Besides, he's old. It's like my 59 year old dad when he started to understand something about computers. Now he's obsessed with getting everything I find ridiculous on it that he thinks is useful. It's just how old people and new technology mix
Jeff Posted February 24, 2007 Posted February 24, 2007 Star Wars is immortal. The movies are always there and are being exposed to more people every day. Just because something new isn't being released aside from games doesn't mean its dying. And like Groovy said, its SW 30th anniversary, theres due to be something more announced in the star wars department.
BongoBob Posted February 24, 2007 Posted February 24, 2007 Don't forget the 3D clone wars cartoon and the Live action series as well.
Black Knight of Keno Posted February 24, 2007 Posted February 24, 2007 Ooh... About movies never dying. How many of you have seen some of the classics? I mean The Treasure of Sierra Madre, Casablanca, Maltese Falcon, The Seven Samurai etc. Now those are some undying movies
Monkey Mania Posted February 24, 2007 Posted February 24, 2007 2007, 30th Anniversary/The Force Unleashed 2008, The Clone Wars Animated TV series 2009, The Live-Action TV series Star Wars isn't dying anytime soon.
Kjølen Posted February 24, 2007 Posted February 24, 2007 You might not have liked TPM or AotC, but what's been made has been made, and there's no changing that. Except for ten years from now, when Lucas has the technology to remake them how he had originally envisioned them.
Commander Obi-Wan Posted February 24, 2007 Posted February 24, 2007 I mean The Treasure of Sierra Madre, Casablanca, Maltese Falcon, The Seven Samurai etc. Now those are some undying movies Never heard of 'em. Hey, I could care less about what people think about Star Wars. That's not going to stop me from watching the upcoming TV series or prevent me from buying or playing the games that are being made currently.
Bomberman65 Posted February 25, 2007 Author Posted February 25, 2007 Yeah what I'm saying is why or why not do you think SW is going downhill?
Mace MacLeod Posted February 25, 2007 Posted February 25, 2007 Yeah, I want to personally rape R. A. Salvatore for his heresy that is Vector Prime.Vector Prime is the Star Wars book that permanently turned me off any of the newer books or series. I have not read a single new SW book since that, and have no plans whatsoever to do so, that's how much I hated it. And from any reasonable standpoint, Star Wars has been going steadily downhill since 1980, but it's still better than 90% of the light sci-fi entertainment that's out there, idiotic Yuzhaan Vong novels and Jar Jar Binks excepted.
BongoBob Posted February 25, 2007 Posted February 25, 2007 Except for ten years from now, when Lucas has the technology to remake them how he had originally envisioned them. I knew someone was going to say something along the lines of that
Prime Posted February 28, 2007 Posted February 28, 2007 Just tell me when SW is "dead" and I will be adjust my personal preferences accordingly.
