I would really like see what happens after Return of the Jedi……
I already know what happens between III and IV…. or I feel like I do… at least I know where they end up…. Tell some new stuff George!!! LIke the stories of Reed-Solo…
Just something new. I feel like, I have been stuck in the same story for decades!!!! It is like hearing the 20th remix on a song…. I would only be good with the middle story if… the reveal…. Yoda is Anakin’s Mom. or something like that. totall change what we know…. That is were episode 1-3 missed the boat…. They had no game changers…..

This is one reason why Star Wars has become less cool. Budget concerns are what creative people use to force themselves to be more creative with what they have.

Hell I could see a great episode of a Star Wars show shot in the mojave desert with a minimum of visual effects.

Damn it is about story. If the stories really are there and they really are solid stories and not just gobs of visual effects, then any reasonable producer that wants to get this made should be able to do it. Even on a TV budget I’m sure it will still be a “Star Wars on freakin’ TV!!!” sized super budget.

Damn. I really want them to get a move on with this. I’m hoping that it’s not just bounty hunters and rebels though. My interest in SW has always been firmly rooted in the Jedi/Sith. I’m really hoping that they are planning on having Starkiller from the Force Unleashed games if and when this does happen. It would make sense considering they made him look like a real actor.

“But sometimes working within limitations forces you to be more creative… Lucas of all people should know this.”

I agree with you Sean especially since George came from the world of independent film. I mean he was going to shoot Apocalypse Now with a guerrilla crew and some handhelds for godsake!

But George never seemed happy with limitations and hated the restrictions they placed on him especially when he was making Star Wars. Unfortunately like you said Sean he fails to realize the depth of creativity he was able to craft with a limited budget and technology at the time. His best work, Graffiti, Star Wars, and THX were the were filmed with extreme limitations. I wish he would realize that.

Didn’t they say they’re releasing the whole saga in 3-D?
