Whimseyboy Posted July 11, 2003 Share Posted July 11, 2003 We need a expanded universe movie! After I read almost every comic and 12 books of the expanded universe I decided to email lucasfilms but I dont know there email so if I try to talk to them they might think about it.

wassup Posted July 11, 2003 Share Posted July 11, 2003 Um...probably not. Maybe a TV series or something if Lucas approves and we get some look-alike actors, but right now, the Expanded Universe is so cluttered with different stories and such and such that it is way to hard to fit it ALL into movies. The way the EU is structured right now makes it hard for directors to incorporate an effective and attractive story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swphreak Posted July 11, 2003 Share Posted July 11, 2003 As much as I love EU (I am the EU Master after all), I know they will never make an EU movie. Possibly a show, in fact, that Clone Wars animated show will technically be EU... since it's not the Movies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benTantilles Posted July 11, 2003 Share Posted July 11, 2003 i definitely won't stand for an eu movie without the original actors... i'd like something done along the lines of final fantasy, tho... the graphix were excellent...and hopefully, should another trilogy be planned, it'll be based around the thrawn trilogy so as to reconcile star wars plots with the public. theforce.net is planning a virtual sequel, i believe, based on the lives of ben skywalker (luke's son) and his bro.

Boba Rhett Posted July 11, 2003 Share Posted July 11, 2003 Gah. A totally cgi star wars movie would be even worse, though. The amount of cgi Lucas uses is already obscene enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swphreak Posted July 11, 2003 Share Posted July 11, 2003 I wouldn't mind a CG movie like with the CG like "Final Fantasy: Spirits Within," or "Final Flight of the Osiris." I can't imagine a movie with real people.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whimseyboy Posted July 12, 2003 Author Share Posted July 12, 2003 I agree that a real movie would be bogus but a cgi movie would be cool or maybe a animated movie or tv series but the tv series would be about 5 sessions long and a movie would be like the star trak movies not saying I like star trak or anything but It sounds cool.

benTantilles Posted July 12, 2003 Share Posted July 12, 2003 those aren't real people....they're actors. (which can be interpreted in many different ways...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynk Former Posted July 12, 2003 Share Posted July 12, 2003 *switches channel onto Australian Big Brother* there... listen, CGI is great and all and Flight of the Osiris was kewl. But still I'd rahter have real people... only place where I want voice actors doing all the work is in animated shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CCKieran Posted July 30, 2003 Share Posted July 30, 2003 I agree with benTantilles and Whimseyboy CG EU movie would be good..... if it was well done. The Osiris was extremely well done, which shows that an SW CG movie could be done to that standard. Drawn animation though..... <shudders> Besides, I wanna see more lightsaber duels and space battles involving X-Wings and TIEs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pleto4_ryan Posted July 31, 2003 Share Posted July 31, 2003 As i wasn't able to read much of the expanted universe a film would be great idea... CGI a better idea than actors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Koulsar Posted August 14, 2003 Share Posted August 14, 2003 I think maybe a cgi film of the thrawn and\or Jedi Academy trilogies would be exqisite but have fun convinceing lucasfilm to do it and it would take way too much time and money for almost anyone else to do. what is wrong with CGI?

benTantilles Posted August 14, 2003 Share Posted August 14, 2003 Mtfbwy gesundheit. anyway, yeah, my sentiments exactly about the unlikelyhood of lucasfilm doing an EU film. damn....the thrawn trilogy would make one great film series... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jedispy Posted September 2, 2003 Share Posted September 2, 2003 I like EU a lot, however there is a lot of clutter in EU. There is always something about SW EU that just doesn't feel like it is worthy of the title Lucasfilm in my opinion. The best EU stories are anything written by T. Zahn. I also like Shadows of the Empire & Truce at Bakura. Other stories are good too, but they feel almost more like I'm reading a book by Bradbury, Asimov, or Roddenbery (Not that this is a bad thing. However it is just not Star Wars'ish enough for me.) I think it would be a bad idea to make just any Star Wars EU story into a movie. One would have to carefully consider the toll on Star Wars' reputation (which was hurt when TPM came out. DEATH TO THE GUNGAN RACE!!!) However, there is but one EU title that I feel would make an AWESOME EU movie. That is Shadows of the Empire. Now listen to my reasoning before you judge: *We get to see what happened between ESB & ROTJ, 2 canonical SW sources. *We get to see Boba Fett in action. That's always a plus. *We get to see more Vader in action, and lets face it, Darth Vader is the coolest damn bad guy....EVER!!!!! *Harrison Ford adamantly said he would NEVER do another Star Wars movie. That's fine because Han Solo is frozen in carbonite in SOTE. No loss there. *Animated CG film would rock. Like someone else said in this thread it could be done in the way that Final Fantasy was done. (Squaresoft would do a good job, but ILM has vastly improved their CG animation standards) They could still use all of the original cast (minus Ford of course). Heck...even a reprise voice role of James Earl Jones would so rock!! *Dash Rendar is just plain cool. *Prince Xizor is also really cool. *It would be interesting to see George Lucas' twist on the matter. Now if anyone from Lucasfilm reads this post (oh please God, oh please God, oh please!!!!!) then here is something that could be adapted into the SOTE storyline: *Cameo appearance of Mara Jade as the Emperor's Hand. Nothing real big and flashy, just a scene with her talking to Palpatine. What does everyone else think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterTypoDemon Posted September 2, 2003 Share Posted September 2, 2003 Y'all are focusing on the EU that takes place during or right after TOT. How bout the stuff that happened before it? Make a mini-series (like Band of Brothers) that takes place during the Mandalorian Wars, Sith Wars, Great Hyperspace Wars, or something like that. Or if it is going to be that short, make the Exur Kun War. Or what I always thought would make a great series is "Star Wars: War Journels". Once a week, we'd be taken into the life of a rebel or Imperial unit and the battles they fought in. Not all battles took place on the big screen. Maybe follow the Bothan spies as they steal the Death Star plans and get it back to Leia? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
