This will probably take some heat, but I personally would like to see Lucas do the 3D CGI television show he is planning on doing based on this book/game. Make it a 20 to 40 part show that can be cut together as one large movie. It would help develop the characters of the bounty hunters, some other background characters in the OT and would be able to feature special appearences by Luke, Leia, Lando, Chewy, Vader, Stormtroopers, Boba Fett, Jabba, etc. With the beauty of the CGI is Lucas can flex the muscle of Lucasfilm and ILM and show off just how ‘realistic’ they can get the show.

I always thought the story told by the N64 game was about the only EU I could stand, and still do. I’d hate to see a good story, good score and good idea go to waste. Might as well do something for OT fans, instead of pilling it on for the PT fans. I’m sure Hammill would be more than willing to do the voice for not only the Luke character, but I’d venture a bet he’d do the voice acting for Render and other characters.

Ah well, it’s just a thought. We’ve really not ever gotten anything aimed at what made Lucas famous, just his more recent works.
