Cosmos Jack Posted April 22, 2003 Share Posted April 22, 2003 I know he doesn't kill off all the cool charecters. For instance Darth Maul and Jango fett. Maybe not Everybody likes them, but they had more charecter and less screen time than most of the the other charecters in the movies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taos Posted April 22, 2003 Share Posted April 22, 2003 Well, I'm sure that somebody has some kind of conspiracy theory with regards to this, but I honestly wish I knew. The only thing is, you forgot Qui-Gon on your list [another cool character IMO ]. All of these characters are some of my most favorite SW ones.....and they're all dead.

Cosmos Jack Posted April 22, 2003 Author Share Posted April 22, 2003 Oh I do apologize I'm being selfish and thinking of my own favorite characters. Qui-Gon was pretty cool.... They could have at least overlaped into the next movie or gave them more screen time to make up for killing them off so fast..... But Qui-Gon got ample screen time ....

boinga1 Posted April 22, 2003 Share Posted April 22, 2003 So they will seem cooler and people will write about them because so little is exposed in the movies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthMuffin Posted April 22, 2003 Share Posted April 22, 2003 and he will kill Dooku in Ep3 (just in case you didn't know, I'm one of the two dooku fan here) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogue15 Posted April 22, 2003 Share Posted April 22, 2003 they wouldn't be as cool if he kept them in longer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's quite impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tesla Posted April 22, 2003 Share Posted April 22, 2003 Well considering that star wars is based on the skywalker family most other characthers are killed because they wouldn't be important in the next movie ie-maul,if not been killed that fight would have ended by maul killing obi1 thuse not having the rest of the movies , or qui-gon not getting killed would have messed it all up since we already know that obi1 tarins anakin and then ani falls to the dark side that's mosetly the reasons why GL kills off all the good side characthers like jango,maul etc And dooku kicks ass IMO look how weak obi1 was against him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StarCords Posted April 22, 2003 Share Posted April 22, 2003 Dooku whips Maul by so far, it's not funny. (battle and character) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lynk Former Posted April 23, 2003 Share Posted April 23, 2003 it's cause when Lucas was little he was a geek and he hated the cooler kids so this is his way of taking revenge on anything cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmos Jack Posted April 24, 2003 Author Share Posted April 24, 2003 That's very possible "Lynk Former"; however, cool they are they aren't the main charecters thought. They still shouod have got more screen time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynk Former Posted April 24, 2003 Share Posted April 24, 2003 organise a group of geeks to bash Lucas to death with plastic lightsabers then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AgentSmith Posted April 24, 2003 Share Posted April 24, 2003 Perhaps Lucas sought to remedy what he saw from the OT movies (and later on in the EU books and comics) that the character from the OT movies (Luke, Leia, Han, Chewie, ...) seemed too untouchable, nearly immortal as they survived anything thrown at them. And by having cool characters like Maul, Qui-Gon and Jango killed Lucas wants tot show how dramatic a time it is and how powerful the battles were?

Lynk Former Posted April 24, 2003 Share Posted April 24, 2003 Behind her eyes there's curtains and they've been closed to hide the flames. Remains. She knows their futures burning but she can smile just the same. Same. And though her mood is fine today there's a fear they'll soon be parting ways.

Jedi Apprentice Posted April 25, 2003 Share Posted April 25, 2003 Maybe so he can make some cooler ones to take their place? I do wish Jango had stayed around longer and also Qui. If Qui was still alive though it would dramtically changed the story. I think he has to kill some of them to progress the story along. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dark jedi 8 Posted April 28, 2003 Share Posted April 28, 2003 yeah, he does kill a lot of cool characters right away. jango qui-gon obi-wan-( he was first into'd in ep.IV, and killed in ep.IV) jabba mual *and all those poor ewoks* tarkin .................to be continued.

Jedi Apprentice Posted May 2, 2003 Share Posted May 2, 2003 Or......He kills them off just so he can make room for the next cool character. Just think if Maul was around there wouldn't be a need for Dooku. If Qui was still around that would definitely mess up the story he has going now. IMO it is just to make space for the next cool characters and to provide for contintuity. How many people think the prequel trilogy characters would live if he had made the OT last and been able to leave them in there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dark jedi 8 Posted May 3, 2003 Share Posted May 3, 2003 i just named characters that were killed in the first movie they appeared in. (but i did forget greedo, thanks for the reminder. ). anyway, from my point of view i think boba is still alive and i think he could have survived the sarlaac. IMO.

HertogJan Posted May 8, 2003 Share Posted May 8, 2003 I think Darth Maul should've stayed alive in EPI and get more attention in EPII, more lines etc Cause Dooku is just pathetic, not one of my favorite characters anyway... Dooku doesn't fit in the story as Darth Sidious's apprentice And yeah Jango was killed too soon too!! () Oh, and becasue it Star Wars and someone needs to die Well the Original Trilogy didn't have THAT many casualties either, apart from the stormies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
