Why can't we have a non Lucas Star Wars film?

Just imagine if someone other than Lucas was allowed to make a Star Wars film. I think it would be awesome. Just consider what's happened with the Batman and Star Trek franchises. Seriously, I think if they could find the right filmmaker, they could make some damn good Star Wars films. But I doubt Lucas would allow it. 

If they did make one, I'd love to see a film that takes place after Revenge of the Sith but well before Star Wars.  There's 20 years worth of stuff that happened between those films!

Wow, Jenny!  Haven't seen you in forever!  Stop hiding yourself already!

But I don't know.  I'd rather Star Wars just finally be allowed to die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die!  No more sequels, no more prequels, no more spinoffs.  Just let it end already!

Is Jenny really a girl?

Jenny could easily be a girl. I've heard that there is at least 3 of them on the net who dig Star Wars.

I wish George Lucas would allow fresh minds to add fat to his universe. I would die to see a movie outside of the Naboo Tattooine Coruscant clusterf**k.

Hi! I just kind of got out of the Star Wars mood for a while. I did watch Empire recently though with speakers and it was so awesome!

Yes I've been a girl all my life.

The prequels, websites, EU novels, and 04 DVDs did it for me.  Only the Empire GOUT on speakers was able to bring me back out of carbon freeze. Instead of ROTS, I would have much rather seen a film version (made by someone else!!) of Shatterpoint-the Mace Windu meets Heart of Darkness Clone Wars story.

However, I still maintain that the best period still remains unexplored. (III-IV) Where is a movie that pits Han and Chewie against the universe? If only our favorite smugglers could have their own film.

Whatever this live action series is will just be another clone wars crapfest. I really have no desire to sit through more prequel-like garbage. "Let go, George!"

 

RE: Why can't we have a non Lucas Star Wars film?

They should do an animated film like the cutscene bioware recently released.

It was like slow motion matrix, meets the 300 meets star wars.  It was Epic.

Or have Drew Karpshyn who wrote both knights of the old republic and mass effect write a movie.

Not sure who would be a good choice to direct it if it was live action.

But if bioware can do better star wars stories with video games than Lucas can do with his movies, how pathetic is that?

The great bearded one creator Lucas upstaged by one of his EU writers.

A film series set far into the future or far enough into the past shows the most promise because of Little canon limitations and a lot of creative license would be allowed.  The trilogy era, post trilogy era have been mined too much already.  They have gone to the well in the novels one to many times.  Seriously who wants to see 60 year old or 70 year olds as action heroes.

If not for Jaina, The Solo's Grandaughter Allana, and Ben Skywalker their would be no skywalker bloodline future stories.  Its a little late to spoil but Anakin Solo joined with the force, and Jacen was just snuffed out and lost forever.

In the legacy comics you get a Cade Skywalker the son of Kol.  Who looks like a reject of a rock band and is a death stick junky who stands on the razors edge of the dark side.

Well they wanted to do Edgy.  Not whiny and creapy and annoying like Anakin.  Or Gee Golly Gosh goody tooshoes luke skywalker, a bit unbeliavable for modern audiences and readers.

They have done dark brooding Luke in the EU, which is ok i guess.  I just hope they don't start having him have whiny tirades like anakin skywalker or the redone anakin as jacen solo's character destroyed in the books.
