* Assuming the movie is in fact episodes 1 - 4 strung together.
Although it reeks of money grabbing it will probably open the show up to a wider audience. It's going to be interesting no matter what.

The reason why people bitch and moan here ocassionally (not day in day out) about the PT and SE is because with the constant spin-offs Lucas is creating based on a movie that came out in 1977 he is getting further and further away from the original movies and this interfers with our hope of and a chance of seeing a restored release of the OOT.
We would have seen such a release years ago if it wasn't for all the cash Lucas was raking in from the new trilogy and its tie-ins.
Beside that's pretty much the point of these boards. To discredit the SE and promote the OOT. If/when the OOT is restored and released on dvd/whatever new media format this place will likely become a ghost town.
And it's not like the conversation isn't some what intelligent. You can have more PT is teh sux0r11!!! type stuff if you want and see what you prefer.

I don't mind the cartoon series, I also think it's the best of the prequels. Tartakovsky did a good job. I like his animation style. With the limited time frame he had to work with it was hard to explore character but they still managed to. What I don't like about the series is it's set in the PT world as seen in the movies. Anakin is still a punk kid, grevious is still lame (but not as lame), the force is way over the top.... *ramble ramble ramble*
And as flashy looking as the CG animated series looks its still going to have these same problems in my view.
In regards to that video that I linked to, it mentions that George wanted to show us the good Anakin the friend of Kenobi..... Lucas had 3 movies and a 2 hour cartoon series, when will enough be enough?

That sums it up perfectly.I've come to realize that George doesn't really get what makes Star Wars great.
And for the record, I have nothing against the Clone Wars. Am I pissed that the original films they stem from haven't been restored and released properly? Hell yes. Would I be more interested in seeing a Clone Wars movie if I wasn't so bitter over the treatment of the OOT? Perhaps, but probably not.
It's the OOT that I've always cared for most- even before the whole OOT vs SE disaster. I really never got into the EU, I've only read a couple of EU books, so the ancillary stuff has never really been of much interest to me.

The one hook Lucas had on the fans with the PT was how Darth Vader came to be, that was what sold the PT, and made many fans who hated Episode I & II go back for Episode III. Sorry George, not interested.

I concur. I'd be much more interested in the live-action TV series (set between ROTS and SW) as a movie, but of course that's still in pre-production. Of course, if the theatrical release of the animated series is successful, then I suppose a theatrical premiere of that series is more likely.
I'm not sure Harrison Ford wouldn't come back to do voice-overs for a post-ROTJ series. He's doing Indy IV (I refuse to say its lame name), isn't he?

Yeah, but as somebody here said some time ago, Ford seems to look at Star Wars like some bad porno he did in the 70s before he was famous.
War does not make one great.

I actually agree that this wont tarnish the Originals, the same way EU books haven't either. The Clone Wars Cartoons are not going to draw the 'casual' SW fan the same way the PT did, so you aren't going to have that mass response to people waiting in line, so in turn, you won't get that big news story, "ANOTHER SW MOVIE, see they are waiting in line again....."
I have talked to my diehard SW friends, and not one friend is interesting in going in August, as they said they will probably catch a couple of episode on TV, just like many new things on TV just to see how it looks. These were the guys who were there opening weekend for EVERY PT movie no matter what they thought of the previous one.
I asked my casual SW friends, and they were like "Clone huh?" These were the guys who all went to TPM, skipped AOTC, and then some went to ROTS to see how Darth Vader came to be.
It is funny cause TPM made the most money, ROTS made the second most, and AOTC made the least, and that is exactly what order my casual SW friends went to see it.
Don't worry guys, this will appeal to the SW diehards, but won't affect the OOT one bit, so I have no angst towards how this does.

As far as Harrison Ford goes, he might agree to do voice-overs if they offered him enough $$$. I mean, he did a Mercedes commercial in Japan for a free car.
Speaking of Harrison Ford/Indiana Jones- did anyone see Good Morning America this morning? I missed it.

I DVR'd it, and it did give me goosebumps. The trailer does have a really funny moment with Ford, but I won't spoil it for those who havent seen it. The trailer starts, "Lucasfilm LTD." and you get alittle goosebumps, then you see Indy's hat, and the blood starts pumping, and then the John Williams music cues.......you feel like a kid again.

They had a segment on E.T. as well, but they didn't show the entire trailer, just snippets of it. Are you talking about the bit in the truck?

Saw the name Roswell on a box in that trailer. Brings back the notion that space aliens are going to somehow have a part in this story. *frown*
Anyhow, I did like the trailer so I'll pay $9 to go see it.

I think the majority of people will probably feel like they have no inclination to pay to see something in a theater that they can watch for free on TV, that's all. I don't really think that it runs much deeper than that.

Oh, is it? Now I'm confused....
As for the Indy 4 trailer, I must say, the trailer did make it look cool. If still a little shaky on the move itself, but they way it's presented is really cool.
"Damn, I thought that was closer!"
"Part time!"
Good stuff.

Finally, someone friggin gets it! I've been saying this all along--it's got Ford as Indy...how bad can it be? People have been bitching about it being as bad as the PT, but the primary problem with the PT was the characters. So if we've got a new Indy movie, and Indy is still in it (With some returning characters) how bad can it really be?

Remember Highlander 2? Same lovable characters in it, but it was a stink bomb to most fans of the first film. Same thing with Robocop 2, Superman III and IV, Never Say Never Again, Poltergeist 2, Star Trek Insurrection and Nemesis. There are a number of films that have the same stars playing the "lovable characters", and they still stink to most moviegoers. I'm sure some people will think this new Indiana Jones movie will be the best of the lot, but how much money it brings in will be the real test.

It will bring in shitloads of money; I don't think that that's in any doubt. As for the characters being back, that may well be, but that hardly makes any difference if the film is badly made. I'd love to have faith in Spielberg and David Koepp, but the shadow of Lucas, his ego, and the PT looms large here. But we'll see. Really, wars in the Middle East. More important things to worry about.
