i've seen 3-D design by ILM, and Square Enix that blows this crap out of the water thats what i meant by amateurish.

i still prefer hand drawn cel animation. most 3-d is gimmicky and crappy by comparison.


things i do like about this fan series set in new republic era so they can use zahn characters like one of my favorites mara jade. also it has my favorite characters from the original trilogy, hopefully they won't add in anything from the prequels like the eu has done resently because that will ruin it.

people hate the work of kevin j anderson, i don't i actually like his star wars stuff. it's not the best but it is better than the prequels. i liked the eu stuff from the early 90's up til before the prequels, the bantam stuff put a want in my mind for the sequel trilogy which was rumored to be in production back in the early 90's and nothing was much asid about the prequels except that one might feature mark hamill as anakin befiore he put on the mask.

that all came from the rumours i read in the dark horse comics mag published in the uk that by some strange chance my newstand had copies of.

there are many more bakstories and motifs etc george had in his protype scripts he did not use in the prequels like he should have, like the whills elaboration that was in the revenge of the sith novelization and the script but not in the movie because they could not get liam to reprise his role.

i know i just went way off in a tangent, but i do like the maquettes of princess leia and padme that gentle giant made, if they can achieve that anime esque design simililar to the star wars manga, or clone ware cartoon that aired on cartoon network id be an avid watcher, as long as they use stories other authors already wrote and just animated them. i do not want to see some fanboys fanfictions animated because that would be totally lame, but i see no way then can get permission to use the dark horse, bantam, or del rey materials.

i also do not see why lucasfilm could not have had a live action show now, with at least mark hamill reprising his role as luke skywalker. They could adapt the new jedi order or something and have some dark stuff along the lines of the new battlestar galactica.
