Agent ONE Posted November 17, 2012 Posted November 17, 2012 So you roll down grassy hills with them and slice their apples with the force? Yes
troyness Posted November 19, 2012 Posted November 19, 2012 If Disney were smart , and want Vader to remain in the franchise, do a tv series directly after ROTS and showcase this jedi killer that he was supposed to be. Bringing back Vader (without Lucas writing) could not be any worse than the prequals. As a cloned Anikin may be OK.
Omegablue Posted November 19, 2012 Posted November 19, 2012 As a cloned Anikin may be OK. Even with Hayden back?
Agent ONE Posted November 20, 2012 Posted November 20, 2012 I didn't have a problem with Hayden, he is no better or worse than Hamill.
troyness Posted November 20, 2012 Posted November 20, 2012 No Hayden!!!! It's TV ...hoping disney would in this case cast another actor for the role, I'd like to see the Vader series start at the end of ROTS, in the scene where Anikin is on the table getting fitted new arms and legs and go from there in a 2 hr episode 1 series debut!!! Plus from then on in any old stuntman can be vader.

troyness Posted November 21, 2012 Posted November 21, 2012 (edited) That sounds like a lucasfilm decision. Encouraging!!! Edited November 21, 2012 by troyness
reddsun1 Posted November 22, 2012 Posted November 22, 2012 (edited) I know: leave the Photoshop alone. But still funny. (I have seen Mustangs done up that awful, though) Edited November 23, 2012 by reddsun1
Duke Togo Posted November 28, 2012 Posted November 28, 2012 (edited) Obviously, this isn't 100%, but I'd say we have our director: RUMOR: Matthew Vaughn To Direct Star Wars Episode VII "Me and [Matthew Vaughn] have done nine films together so I'm sure I'll get the call for Star Wars. But I'm sure it's going to be, 'Flemyng, no...I know on paper it doesn't look like much but I promise you it's essential to the part.' So we'll see what happens with that." He pretty much gives it away at the 1:30 mark. Edited November 28, 2012 by Duke Togo
Duke Togo Posted November 28, 2012 Posted November 28, 2012 Oh yeah, forgot to mention this: Lucas' yes-man Rick McCallum has left Lucasfilm. Praise be.
EXO Posted November 29, 2012 Posted November 29, 2012 Thank god...there may be hope after all! A New One!
azrael Posted December 21, 2012 Posted December 21, 2012 For those of you wondering about Dark Horse's comic license, here ya go: Star Wars Comics Come Back To Marvel The Suits in the know have determined that no new contracts will be given to Dark Horse after the current ones expire. So all new projects after 2013 will be handled internally by Marvel.It’s not known yet if titles will be worked into the regular line up, or will Marvel create a special branch of the company that deals with Star Wars. It’ll take a couple of years for the old deals to work there course, but the stories that Dark Horse have coming down the pipeline will be the last. And you can expect anything new from Marvel dealing with Star Wars to arrive around 2015.
EXO Posted December 21, 2012 Posted December 21, 2012 I was just reading about this from our friends at GeekExchange (that did a write up on this years MacrossWorld Con). At this year’s New York Comic-Con, Brian Wood announced that he’d be writing a new Star Wars ongoing series set immediately after the original trilogy. He stressed that his books would ignore the prequels altogether...Read more: http://www.geekexchange.com/dark-horse-comics-to-lose-star-wars-license-in-2013-30213.html#ixzz2Fhp7Dzku
renegadeleader1 Posted December 21, 2012 Posted December 21, 2012 And on December 21, 2012 as predicted by the Mayans the world has ended... for Dark Horse. If I were them I'd go out with a bang/giant middle finger to disney and lucasarts by doing some really screwed up and offensive things with the license while they had it.
Duke Togo Posted December 21, 2012 Posted December 21, 2012 If I were them I'd go out with a bang/giant middle finger to disney and lucasarts by doing some really screwed up and offensive things with the license while they had it. Right, because that would gain them a ton of respect within the industry and with other companies looking to license their properties,
Dynaman Posted December 21, 2012 Posted December 21, 2012 Right, because that would gain them a ton of respect within the industry and with other companies looking to license their properties, And if their license does not require approval before they publish anything I would be surprised. (normally approval would be carte blanche but if they tried something offensive...)
Mr March Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 Personally, I think one of the best ways they can make Star Wars relevant again is to cast a female as the lead in the new films. It's time. Popular culture is at the cusp of a new renaissiance for female actors and heroic leads. I'd love to see Star Wars as one of those properties leading the charge. I hope Kennedy is thinking the same thing. I approve this message! Except anime and movies like Alien are way ahead of that game. Star Wars, for a groundbreaking property has somehow stuffed their liberated and self-sufficient female character type into one female per generation... and they just happen to be related. I mean there's no need to send a message, just round out the cast. Well, looks like the "possibility" of a female lead is being at least considered. http://www.slashfilm...ad/#more-154868 I hope we hear more about this.

Bringing back Vader (without Lucas writing) could not be any worse than the prequals. As a cloned Anikin may be OK. There's no possible way with Disney calling the shots. It will be a children's show and when Vader is having a lightsaber duel with Donald and at the end, when they come to a draw, he takes off his mask, it will reveal Goofy grinning back at you. The evil of Darth Vader should have been portrayed in an R-rated horror movie, but it's just not going to happen.

Disney has shown with recent Marvel and Tron projects that this is no worry at all.
Negotiator Posted January 5, 2013 Posted January 5, 2013 Hmm, maybe the next kingdom hearts will have star wars characters in it.
Duke Togo Posted January 14, 2013 Posted January 14, 2013 Zack Snyder Is Developing a Star Wars Film Outside the New Trilogy Back in November, the Los Angeles Times reported that Man of Steel and 300 director Zack Snyder said he had no interest in directing the hotly anticipated seventh Star Wars film. But Vulture has learned that while this may be specifically true — he won’t be doing Episode VII — it was a bit of misdirection: He is in fact developing a Star Wars project for Lucasfilm that is set within the series’ galaxy, though parallel to the next trilogy. It will be an as-yet-untitled Jedi epic loosely based on Akira Kurosawa’s 1954 classic Seven Samurai, with the ronin and katana being replaced by the Force-wielding knights and their iconic lightsabers.
David Hingtgen Posted January 14, 2013 Posted January 14, 2013 A pre-Phantom Menace Qui-Gon would be awesome in a film like that. Get Liam back, no matter the cost!
Duke Togo Posted January 14, 2013 Posted January 14, 2013 "Zack Snyder has come out DENYING any involvement in this. His press person told HOLLYWOOD REPORTER: While he is super flattered because he is a huge fan, Zack is not involved in any way with the new Star Wars. He is currently in post on his two films, Man of Steel and 300: Battle of Artemisia.”
TehPW Posted January 15, 2013 Posted January 15, 2013 Oh yeah, forgot to mention this: Lucas' yes-man Rick McCallum has left Lucasfilm. Praise be. im ignorant of who this man is, in SW lore? who is he?
sketchley Posted January 15, 2013 Posted January 15, 2013 im ignorant of who this man is, in SW lore? who is he? The producer behind the prequels.
s001 Posted January 16, 2013 Posted January 16, 2013 I cannot believe some of you guys actually think this could be a good thing. Haven´t you seen the latest marvel animated shows on disney channel?
JELEINEN Posted January 16, 2013 Posted January 16, 2013 I cannot believe some of you guys actually think this could be a good thing. Haven´t you seen the latest marvel animated shows on disney channel? Right, because Disney is a single monolithic entity where everything is handled by the same people.
Dynaman Posted January 16, 2013 Posted January 16, 2013 I cannot believe some of you guys actually think this could be a good thing. Haven´t you seen the latest marvel animated shows on disney channel? No - but I DID see Star Wars Episode 1, it can't possibly get worse.
Uxi Posted January 16, 2013 Posted January 16, 2013 I'm definitely ambivalent about it. I'm cautiously optimistic to see Episode VII. I figured Lucas would do it anyway in another 10 years or so...
Graham Posted January 17, 2013 Posted January 17, 2013 I cannot believe some of you guys actually think this could be a good thing. Haven´t you seen the latest marvel animated shows on disney channel? My son and I really enjoyed both seasons of 'The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes'. Graham
Knight26 Posted January 17, 2013 Posted January 17, 2013 I cannot believe some of you guys actually think this could be a good thing. Haven´t you seen the latest marvel animated shows on disney channel? Question, why are you watching cartoons on the disney channel? They are intended for a child audience, not adult, so what did you expect? What gives me some hope for the future of star wars is the Marvel movies, they are under the disney banner and have been very good for the most part, so if they get the right crew on it, it could be great. Think the Avengers people, thing Joss Whedon writing and directing star wars, that could be a great thing.
LOW_ALT Posted January 17, 2013 Posted January 17, 2013 ^ I can't recall a single good Spiderman movie personally...
