fanboys would now be clamoring for an episode 10 instead of an episode 7. Also, you have your roman numerals backwards, your 9 is an 11 :rolleyes:

Are the prequels gonna suck or are they on par with the originals?

[ArKhan]

Well, I don't know. They might be like OTL, with all of them sucking except III, or they might be different due to the fact that Lucas made them earlier.

That's opinion. I liked the new ones as well.

[MacCaulay]

I know there's no way to make a 100 percent judgement, but I'd say they'd be better.

After all, it seems to me that George Lucas was always better when he didn't have the money or technology to get through a problem, and had to write around it.

That explains why the original trilogy and American Graffiti were so awesome, and the prequels were weaker.

I'm willing to bet that with the prequels starting earlier, they'd be better.

Though I'd fear for the fate of the Indiana Jones films...basically, this TL is trading Indiana Jones for Episode I-III.

[RandomIdeaGuy]

I second that

[Bopater]

IMO they would be better.

I believe that Lucas only put Jar Jar Binks into the Prequels to make his young son happy. I would assume that no such son exists in 1986. So the first one is that much better right away. Anakin-Padme romance would hopefully not be as cheesey as OTL I would hope, but instead closer to the Han-Leia story. The laws of probability suggest that the acting and script couldn't have been any worse.

With the overall plot of the Prequals actually being good in OTL, but horribly executed, I think this story would have no where to go but up.

[fortyseven]

IIRC, Lucas condensed the plots of episodes 7-9 into episodes 5 and 6.

[Bavarian Raven]

i liked the prequels :mad:

not the best movies imo, but better then a lot of recent movies...

[RandomIdeaGuy]

Yeah, NO good movies have come out of hollywood recently that aren't remakes. I mean, eventually they're going to run out of ideas. Passion of the Christ remake? LOL

Quoted For Truth. Anyways, IMO the Episodes II & III were decent enough, I usually pretend Episode I doesn't exist though :p. Certainly an interesting premise though.

[Emperor Norton I]

I have a theory which is that repression breeds creativity and art and the best films. That is repression whether by the studio, censors, limited technology, limited funds, limited time, etc., etc. I do agree that prequels earlier would have been better.

I also think computer generated images were, until very, very recently (I mean maybe a year or so ago), little more than high end video game quality that you could tell were fake in a minute because they looked so fake.

[Kyronea]

Oooh, good, more MST3K fodder.

I agree. But as I said before, look at the years that these prequels would be made...we're basically trading the Indiana Jones trilogy for these.

Me personally, I think I'd rather have Star Wars IV-VI and Raiders through Last Crusade. No matter what.

[xelas2547]

Episode I and II will be better, but after while it will run out of ideas.

Every move he makes up to episode VII or VIII will be done with less CGI than OTL prequells and maybe be as good as OTL ANH, ESB and ROTJ.

And around 96 97 he discovers the full potential of the CGI and the rest become more and more like cartoons and finally becomes a regluar cartoon with the TV show

What's the main premise of those three movies?

[Iamwinterborn]

What's the main premise of those three movies?

Well I know he orginally had the stories written out (at least, basic idea of who it was, etc.) but I can't remember.


But if we go by the timeline...

Timothy Zahn begins writing the Thrawn Trilogy a few years earlier, about the same time as Episode I is released

The books would have more canonical knowledge of the Clone Wars, and perhaps George Lucas might even put in a mention of the dissapearing slaved clone fleet. Can't remember when that fleet vanished, perhaps it was after the time the 3rd movie is set.

Then, George Lucas works with Zahn to write the movie adaptions of those books.





Preferably as just a name, and not actually ever tocuhing those books, or ever even reading (to limit the possible pollution).




Even in OTL, I would love to see a GOOD director, and a GOOD screenwriter adapt and produce the Thrawn trilogy as sequels to the orginal star wars trilogy.

Episode III was not bad, and I think the only reason Episodes I and II were considered so "bad" is because George Lucas appeared to have a retarded moment of thinking that because his orginal movies were "family-friendly" and many kids remember his movies, perhaps he should make a retarded little kids version complete with a pointless goofball, since primitive races helping the big boys out went over so well with thse ewoks in RotJ, right? :rolleyes:


I mean, the non-little kid parts were good, but there were some parts that just made me, a KID, sit back and go WTF is this?



Eh.. this turned into a rant instead of my point:

Thrawn Trilogy as the 3 sequels. YES... YES... OH GOD YESSSS


Besides... there's a blue alien with red eyes who is the commander of the Imperial forces . If they can't make a convincing yet complicated villain out of THAT, I will have lost all my faith in Hollywood.

[Blue Max]

I thought VII- IX was looking at the rise of something that wasn't the Darkside of the force...it was something different entirely; and that this was the end of the SW saga-Luke as an old man beaten by an enigma of a new faction of the Force--something that was never really explained.

I'm pretty sure, given the way the EU will spam novels and content without checking for quality, these intentions will be ignored.

[ArKhan]

I'd say he'd draw from the expanded universe.

[mowque]

Oooh, good, more MST3K fodder.

MTS3K would never have been able to afford the rights. :(

Where did you get that info from?

[Hapsburg]

That's opinion. I liked the new ones as well.
No, they sucked. It's a verifiable fact.
They dicked with the established canon, and retconned so much shit. They ruined everything, man.

But, a prequel trilogy made in the 80's, before the EU canon was built up, wouldn't be so bad. Because there'd be nothing to dick up.

I agree. But as I said before, look at the years that these prequels would be made...we're basically trading the Indiana Jones trilogy for these.
Not necessarily. Lucas could easily produce both trilogies.

Passion of the Christ remake? LOL
No, you got it backwards. TPOTC was a continuity reboot of the Matrix trilogy, condensed for less confusion. :p

[Kyronea]

MTS3K would never have been able to afford the rights. :(

I'm going to pretend the POD also removes much of the budget and/or John Williams from doing the movies, so that the glaring errors and simplistic writing are recognized for the junk they are rather than being covered up by special effects and music that is far too good for what it's written for.

Casino Royale and a few of the Pierce Brosnans of JB were good.

WTF are those little trash can things? They're funny as hell!:D

[MonsooN]

Passion of the Christ remake? LOL

And that's already a remake of the Life of Brian. And it was nowhere near as funny as the original!

I thought that the story for Star Wars episodes VII - IX was kind of a re-hash of V and VI. Luke turns to the dark side and his son has to redeem him, just like Luke did with Darth Vader.

Passion of the Christ 2: Jesus' Revenge

Exactly. If 9+ Star Wars films were made the series would not have the Godlike status it enjoys today. I'm surprised its image survived Episodes I-III.

I'd say he'd draw from the expanded universe.

Which part? That's a pretty broad statement, fyi.

Beats "Passion of the Christ 2" idea.... (though the proposed tagline "More nurses, less Roman soldiers did sound kinky"....)

There was a MadTV sketch done in the '90s that was a movie trailer about a Terminator sent back in time to save Jesus. Basically just a T-800 shooting his way through the Holy Land while Jesus keeps telling him to stop. It was probably one of the funniest things they did in the early parts of the show.
