Here?s a Leaked Scene from the New Star Wars Movie

New it was bogus when I clicked the link, but I'll give credit where it's due. Dressing a pug up like a bantha isn't that hard a sell, and it was actually quite cute.

Well maybe they could do the rise of the new empire that was mentioned in that one series that took place like a hundred or so years after the latest in EU content happened. As far as I know, the books haven't made it that far yet.

Except Han and Luke are dead by that point in history, and it'd be a little hard for Harrison Ford or Mark Hamill to reprise their roles if their characters have croaked. Well, actually, Hamill could get away with it. Jedi. Force ghost. (They used it in the comics set in that period.) And both are believed to be going for it.

I'm not talking about the stories of cade skywalker, I'm talking long before that, in the period where that Fel dude (aparently the husband of Han's daughter) Started his assent of power in the imperial reminent, reforming it into a more benevolent empire that started to compete and eventually overcome the new republic. Cade's story takes place a hundred years after the foundation of this new empire; I'd like to see how it formed and how it somehow won over a galaxy.

And yes, I realize I know far too much about the star wars universe than any trekkie should ever know, so I'll end my post with one of these :SWvST:

Edit: got my skywalkers mixed up, thanks Joshmaul for correcting me.

Joshmaul · « **Reply #48 on:** November 12, 2012, 02:20:07 AM »

Uh, Ben Skywalker is Luke and Mara's kid. You're thinking Cade Skywalker, their junkie-turned-Jedi descendant. (I read Wookiepedia like I read Wikipedia - like an addict.)

BFGfreak · « **Reply #49 on:** November 12, 2012, 11:54:34 AM »

whoops, my bad. Anyway, yeah I was talking about Cade, and from what I understand in my skimming of wookiepedia, this new empire formed around the time the EU books seem to be right now, and unless my information is dated and they killed off another main character, Han, Luke, and Leia are still alive. Granted I'm not sure if someone already covered how this new empire formed, or even if it would make for an interesting story. Again this is all just speculation and wishful thinking.

Gonna be honest...I don't give a flying flip if the movies eradicate the expanded universe entirely. The only good things to come out of it post-Return of the Jedi were the Thrawn trilogy and the Hand of Thrawn duology. Everything else was mediocre, and then when the Yuuzhan Vong showed up, the entire thing went to crap.

Much as I'm inclined to agree...there's still better writers in that mix than Lucas, heh.

Speaking of: May God have mercy on our souls...

Well on the bright side, at least Rifftrax will have another star wars movie to make fun of. (ok, that really doesn't change anything since I will watch it with Rifftrax regardless of whether it's good or bad)

Shadowknight1 · « **Reply #53 on:** November 13, 2012, 02:33:14 PM »

Need I point out that even though he didn't direct, Lucas still had a hand in both Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi? Frankly, a good director can do a lot with a not-so-good script. Honestly, the only things we know is that it's being written by the guy that wrote Toy Story 3, and Kathleen Kennedy will be producer with Lucas as "creative consultant". We know nothing about the story, the cast, the music, or the director.

Well if we knew the story, we won't be surprised, as we should

Tell that to everyone complaining about Star Trek Into Darkness.

Well it seems that they will be ignoring all of the post-RotJ literature/EU for the new trilogy. Sooo.......just throw all of the Thrawn/Vong War/holographic Darth Maul haunting Luke Skywalker stuff away. Yep.

Also, Kennedy wants Lucasfilm to pump out 2-3 movies per year. Pixar created (Ko)ToR anyone? Not in the same style as the current Clone Wars series ofcourse but something a bit more serious overall.

Shadowknight1 · « **Reply #58 on:** November 17, 2012, 02:48:44 AM »

I wouldn't mind something in this vein:

I'd love to see Peter Jackson tackle the next Star Wars trilogy, I think he'd do a great job.

One of the reasons that the OT was so good was that Empire and Jedi weren't directed by George, that's the same reason the Clone Wars is so good, he has very little input. For that reason, I think that the next trilogy can be really great.
