Jedi_Monk Posted May 22, 2002 Share Posted May 22, 2002 I'm still hoping Lucas decides to make the last trillogy; he might think he'll be too old, but if he films them the way Peter Jackson filmed the Lord of the Rings trillogy (i.e., all three moivies at once), he could be done with the hard part in just a couple years. It might still be most unlikely, but maybe Lucas will find it impossible to leave his galaxy far, far away... That said, if Lucas has any inkling that he might want to make SW7-9, maybe he would drop some nice hints as to the plot of those movies. In Dexter's Diner, Obi-Wan tells Dex "Well, if droids could think, we none of us would be here, would we?" So, what do we know from the other movies? Anakin is the Chosen One, who brings balance to the Force by destroying the corrupting presence of the Sith. So the Sith and Dark Jedi wouldn't be an influence in the last trillogy. So what about droids? Yes, we've seen Battle Droids in action, but what if all of the droids turned? A droid revolution? Slaves breaking out of bondage to challenge their masters for control of the universe. Is it possible? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dorain8 Posted May 22, 2002 Share Posted May 22, 2002 IT WOULD BE ABOUT JEDI ACADEMY AND THRAWN'S REIGHN F TERRO AND THE REBORN EMPEROR THAT STUFF THE NEW REPUBLIC STUFF (IT IS ALREADY WRITTEN ABOUT THAT STUFF) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogue Nine Posted May 22, 2002 Share Posted May 22, 2002 Don't think so. In order to please the bazillions of SW fans out there, Lucas would have to incorporate a good part of the EU. Lucas doesn't deal with EU, so he might just ignore it. The fans won't like that too much. And besides, Lucas has to come up with scripts for all three movies. Jackson had Tolkien's series to guide him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedi_Monk Posted May 22, 2002 Author Share Posted May 22, 2002 I don't think he would have to incorporate the EU in the least; this is his universe, afterall, and I think a lot of fans would want to see his vision of SW's future. I, personally, hate the EU--even Zahn's books leave me bitter after seeing the true universe shine through in the Prequels. I would welcome Lucas to come in and show all those hack-authors how SW should really be done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darklighter Posted May 22, 2002 Share Posted May 22, 2002 Whatever the plot, you've got to have Mara Jade and Ben Skywalker, Luke and Mara's son. Imagine, the son of the son of the chosen one. And he has his Jedi training at Luke's academy, and goes out to fight the droid revolution! (I think I could play him, as I am a wicked actor and look like Mark Hammil and Hayden Christenson). Just a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infinity Posted May 22, 2002 Share Posted May 22, 2002 you like the EP1 better then Zhan and Kevin J. Anderson?! I think you need to compare and contrast the writting quality present. Jar Jar vs. Thrawn vs. Kyp Dyroun. He couldn't just ignore decades of novelizations. 6 dozen intrecate stories. But a Dark Empire 1 & 2 trilogy would woop some ass.

Darklighter Posted May 22, 2002 Share Posted May 22, 2002 You wouldn't have to just concentrate on one story. Lucas, if he felt so inclined, could merge the stories together to create a network of different stories and characters interacting with each other. There would be 3 more whole films as well, you know!(hopefully) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedi_Monk Posted May 22, 2002 Author Share Posted May 22, 2002 you like the EP1 better then Zhan and Kevin J. Anderson?! I think you need to compare and contrast the writting quality present. Yes... Zahn is sci-fi, technobabble rules in his books. It's more like Star Trek with lightsabers and the Force than Star Wars. Kevin J. Anderson is insane... all he does is rehash, rehash, rehash... a deathstar prototype? The freakin' SUNCRUSHER?! The guy is superweapon-happy! Yes, Exar Kun is awesome, but not in Kevin J. Anderson's books. And Lucas has already contradicted Zahn and Anderson in his Prequels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jedi_Monk Posted May 23, 2002 Author Share Posted May 23, 2002 Explain how? The Death Star's designers are different, which means no Maw instalation, which means there wouldn't be a psychotic female warlord laying in wait there, which means 99% of The Jedi Academy books are null and void. Also, I can assure you, Exar Kun will have nothing to do with Anakin's descent to the Dark Side. The timeline is completely skewed in Zahn's books; clones appearantly don't go insane and the Cloning Technology is not as new a thing as indicated. I seem to remember something about Clone Masters making armies of clones that shredded the Republic... well, that's obviously not what happened.

Ferox Posted May 23, 2002 Share Posted May 23, 2002 lucas should definitly ingore the EU and continue his story.. screw these nerds who read star wars books rofl. its Lucas's baby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldSkoolJedi Posted May 23, 2002 Share Posted May 23, 2002 Hell Yeah, Lucas's production of the "next trilogy" would make all those books look like a grade 2 project =/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichDiesal Posted May 23, 2002 Share Posted May 23, 2002 I doubt that Lucas himself will do the new films... I believe he much more wants to just make his own films outside of the Star Wars universe. But George Jr. might do it when he inherits the empire... in that event, I have a feeling that the new Star Wars trilogy might be an ENTIRELY new series... screw the 5-30 years after... I mean 100 or 200 years after the fall of the Empire. It would open up a whole new can of worms on new technology and ships and everything. Maybe even prototype light-technology. I've always wanted a pair of lightnunchucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darklighter Posted May 23, 2002 Share Posted May 23, 2002 What about having a long descendant of Luke, who continues to lead smal group of jedi to defeat the new technological enemies? Don't tell me there won't be Jedis, DO NOT TELL ME THERE WON'T BE JEDIS!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichDiesal Posted May 23, 2002 Share Posted May 23, 2002 Well there HAVE to be Jedi... I mean, the Force is timeless, it's not just going to go away. I'm just saying that maybe they will have lightnunchucks, lightmorningstars and lightmaces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swifty Posted May 23, 2002 Share Posted May 23, 2002 But Lucas DID name Coruscant after Zhan's books...it was Timothy who came up with the name in his first Trilogy. In Episodes IV-VI, it didn't even have a name. EU exists and is wholly answerable to Lucas Licensing, who maintains continuity of ALL SW product- books, computer and console games, toys, etc...however, it doesn't work the other way around, ie, George has free reign to do as he chooses (which is the way it should be). And he WON'T do 7-9. The nine move series was originally "The adventures of Luke Skywalker", but that got kyboshed VERY early. The entire story arc has changed, obviously with Vader being the focus. The nine movie set was to focus on Luke. With this shift in arc, the last 3 films are no longer necessary- Vader was redeemed in ROTJ. It was Kirshner's interview during directing ESB that gives this 9 movie myth it's life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedi_Monk Posted May 23, 2002 Author Share Posted May 23, 2002 I've got the THX version of the trillogy that came out before the SEs; it has an interview with George Lucas before each installment. Lucas himself talks about nine SW movies, saying the first three were about Anakin, the last three about Luke and the two stories intersected in the middle trilogy.

Keiran Halcyon Posted May 23, 2002 Share Posted May 23, 2002 The last trilogy culd be about the end of the YUzann Vong invasion, that sotry is not told yet... and would be fresh, no more Empire enemy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparky_fox Posted May 24, 2002 Share Posted May 24, 2002 I havn't read yuzon zong (is that a trillogy?) who's the author, lots of people are talking about it so I guess its good, and if its good then I wanna read it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darklighter Posted May 24, 2002 Share Posted May 24, 2002 If there were to be more films after, Lucas should include all the relevant stories whether it be from books or his own imagination (or someone elses, if he does not want to make it himself). Carrying on from the whole Jedi story continuation, has anyone considered the descendant of Anakin Skywalker and Han Solo's son, Anakin Solo? He plays quite a big role in the continuation o Star Wars, and it is said he would replace Luke in the future as the most powerful Jedi in the galaxy. There's a massive page about him on starwars.com on this link: http://www.starwars.com/databank/character/anakinsolo Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keiran Halcyon Posted May 24, 2002 Share Posted May 24, 2002 The Yuzza Vong appear in The New Jedi Order, a series of books that will be at least 20. Anakin could be Luke's succesor, but What about Luke and Mara's son? he has to be more powerful... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deadpool99 Posted May 24, 2002 Share Posted May 24, 2002 I think he should make SW movies that follow the life of the different characters after they make Ep3. Like the Tales of Yoda. Or Boba Fett. Any popular character really, could make an excellent movie. And since Yoda was already an old man in Episode 1, there is plenty of stories from his entire life IM SURE!

Keiran Halcyon Posted May 24, 2002 Share Posted May 24, 2002 That stories are better for books. It would be in the same category as the SW saga if them were movies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soul-Burn Posted May 24, 2002 Share Posted May 24, 2002 Well... we all know that the emperor is reborn 20 years after ROTJ.... You can read that in the Star Wars "Behind the magic" 2 CDs... It has a timeline of all events, since the ancient time till 50 years after the fall of the empire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichDiesal Posted May 24, 2002 Share Posted May 24, 2002 Sheesh, I say we just let the whole series die, books, movies and all, while it still has some dignity. Oh, but keep making Jedi Knight games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
