Miltiades Posted March 16, 2009 Posted March 16, 2009 proper as in non CGI? I doubt that, unless its a heads off shot. Pretty much all of the 'helmets on' clonetroopers in AOTC/ROTS were CGI Well, seeing as their budget will be immensely lower than that of the movies, I hope they'll use 'real' Stormtroopers to squeeze the budget.
Q Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 I wouldn't mind all of the greenscreen madness as long as they can shoot straight and aren't easily routed by spear-chucking teddy bears.
Astrotoy7 Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 Well, seeing as their budget will be immensely lower than that of the movies, I hope they'll use 'real' Stormtroopers to squeeze the budget. Depicting a decent sized battle scene is infinitely cheaper in CGI than location, extras, costume, catering, stunts, pyro, insurance, film, props, lighting, transport, etc etc...especially so seeing it is a lucasfilm project and ILM gives them a staff discount The Battle of Hoth from ESB could be done entirely indoors now(like most of the LOTR battles), you wouldnt need to send actors to trounce around out in the snow mtfbwya
Prime Posted March 17, 2009 Author Posted March 17, 2009 proper as in non CGI? I doubt that, unless its a heads off shot. Pretty much all of the 'helmets on' clonetroopers in AOTC/ROTS were CGI If you want to get all EU about it, *any* clonetrooper that still existed after Declaration of the New Imperial Order (part of which is seen in ROTS) is a 'proper stormtrooper' So you've pretty much already seen 'proper stormies' in the last 1/3 of ROTS I just mean this... rather than this... A subtle difference, but I'd love to see the old iconic stormies of the OT. But in any event, it will be nice to be able to avoid the retarded slap stick battle droids. OMG they're awful.
Ctrl Alt Del Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 I wouldn't mind all of the greenscreen madness as long as they can shoot straight and aren't easily routed by spear-chucking teddy bears. Stormies shooting straight? Yes, and Greedo shooting first as well. XD A subtle difference, but I'd love to see the old iconic stormies of the OT. Absolutely. Clone Troopers were cool (call them stormies all you want, but good old all-white armor is what makes one for me) but Stormtroopersare worth two of them.

Miltiades Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 any event, it will be nice to be able to avoid the retarded slap stick battle droids. OMG they're awful. Indeed. Whether we get Stormtroopers or Clonetroopers, I'll be glad those battle droids are gone. I imagine for a darker setting, the slapstick humor should be left out. You can count me out if they keep coming up with that garbage.
SW01 Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 I think it will be interesting to see not only will they use proper Stormies, but also if they will start off with the Imperial-style Venator cruisers and V-wings, as at the end of Ep. III and gradually move on to the ISDs and TIEs, or just go straight for the ISD. No more blasted droids is also a plus.
TriggerGod Posted March 18, 2009 Posted March 18, 2009 Well, as long as everybody doesn't have a glowing stick of doom and no slapstick droid 'comedy', it is going to be a watch. If it has a solid storyline, I'll keep watching it. If not, it'll be one of those "I'll watch it because nothing else I like is on." shows. I pray Lucas doesn't screw this one up. You sure you aren't asking too much of him?
Nedak Posted March 18, 2009 Posted March 18, 2009 You sure you aren't asking too much of him? I probably am. Hopefully Lucas highered some good people to hold is hand as they make this series.
TSR Posted March 18, 2009 Posted March 18, 2009 I think we are all in agreement when I say that as long as there are plentiful appearences from Rodians in it, then it will be acceptable.
Miltiades Posted March 18, 2009 Posted March 18, 2009 I think we are all in agreement when I say that as long as there are plentiful appearences from Rodians in it, then it will be acceptable. As long as they all get killed in the end.
Sabretooth Posted March 18, 2009 Posted March 18, 2009 I think we are all in agreement when I say that as long as there are plentiful appearences from Rodians in it, then it will be acceptable. As long as they shoot first.
TSR Posted March 18, 2009 Posted March 18, 2009 As long as they all get killed in the end. As long as they shoot first. Oh come on...
GeneralPloKoon Posted March 18, 2009 Posted March 18, 2009 Rodians are darn criminals! Of course they are going to shoot first...
RedHawke Posted March 19, 2009 Posted March 19, 2009 Rodians are darn criminals! Of course they are going to shoot first... And end up getting killed in the end... Hmm... I seem to have read that before somewhere? But from... where?
HdVaderII Posted March 21, 2009 Posted March 21, 2009 Nonononono. No. Han shot first. That's the only situation I'm accepting.
Hallucination Posted March 21, 2009 Posted March 21, 2009 As long as they all get killed in the end. star in a romance subplot. Fix't.
Ctrl Alt Del Posted March 21, 2009 Posted March 21, 2009 ^ Only if one of them is a smuggler. Because clearly on SW, one of the lovers being from royalty, alone, doesn't seem to work.
Will O' The Wisq Posted March 21, 2009 Posted March 21, 2009 I've heard some rumors that GL told those who wrote the story of Quinlan Vos not to kill him and that he will be featured in the TV-series, just rumors right now...

Some of that is a rumor, GL has told the EU story writers to not kill off Quinlan Vos but he hasn't stated why, I think..
