"Star Wars" should be equivilant to "The Avengers", not to "Marvel universe".
That ship sailed a long time ago when Lucas decided to slap the "Star Wars: Episode V" tag on TESB.
You mean when he slapped the "Empire Strikes Back" tag onto "Star Wars: Episode II."
I'd honestly like to see an adaptation of this storyline from the Marvel series.
Yeah, it's cheesy and a little over the top, but not everything has to be serious and "realistic".
I like Chewie with the eyes of Ibad.
Amaiza is looking a bit frumpy though.
How about a political spin-off?
House of Sabacc Cards. Trace Bail Organa's rise to power as he ruthlessly takes out the Alderaanian opposition, institutes a phony policy of pacifism while funding a galactic terrorist alliance, and cultivates a completely false public image through such manipulative tactics as adopting orphan children. That might almost get me interested in Star Wars again.
As The Death Star turns...
Essentially a space soap along the lines of Dallas but set from the moment the first Death Star had places to live in up until Tarkin comes to take over the place.
You could have Vader etc turn up now and then but most of the time it would be like The Office meets Dynasty only with very dangerous interior canyons and retractable bridges without rails.
The station would get more complex and change over the duration of the spin-off series leading up to the attack on Yavin.
Lots of power-dressing and back-stabbing boardroom arguments, lots of speculation about who will get off with whom and will they be on the station when it blows.
That sounds awesome.
You probably don’t recognize me because of the red arm.
Episode 9 Rewrite, The Starlight Project (Released!) and ANH Technicolor Project (Released!)
I think it's about time David Lynch got his chance at a Star Wars movie. Twin Suns would make for a quaint title, I think.
Lynch has probably had his fill of films set on arid desert planets though. ;)
Where were you in '77?
Actually he had the first three sequels prepped and ready to go it was the De Horrendous family he had problems with not the material.
Before they are too old, Ewan and Hayden should be brought back to do a standalone Live-Action Clone Wars movie.
Seeing Ben and Anakin's friendship, seeing Ben's youthful recklessness and Anakin's hot-shot piloting skills was the only damned thing I wanted out of the PT really (And it was the last thing we actually got).
None of the plodding politics and melodrama of the PT, just two best buds (The two best buds we saw rescue Palpatine for all of 15 minutes at the start of ROTS) riding round the galaxy, kickin' ass and taking names. Lots of humour, lots of high adventure, exotic locales and a good sprinkling of action and romance. If the Marvel universe can do this type of film then so can Star Wars.
The ulterior motive would be that the footage could be used to create a new fanedited trilogy using none of TPM and good chunks of AOTC and ROTS with the new Clone Wars movie woven into the center as the new Episode II.
It might be a good idea to have some sort of Tatooine based sequence whereby we see Owen and Anakin both bonding and falling out. Maybe Anakin comes back to free the slaves from the Hutts as he promised but Owen doesn't hold with his ideals and doesn't want to get involved. But he begrudgingly does anyway ('Cause he's a decent bloke at heart) harburing some slaves resulting in the Hutts burning his Moisture farm in a for-shadowing of the events of ANH.
Can't think of a decent title. The world might implode if another SW thing is called Clone Wars again.
Almost the film that this ^ poster implies without it sucking ass like that childish CGI cartoon monstrosity did.
VIZ TOP TIPS! - PARENTS. Impress your children by showing them a floppy disk and telling them it’s a 3D model of a save icon.
Sigh, I think Jedi could have been more memorable (and stranger, for better or worse) had Lynch accepted the job... oh well...
I'd like to see a movie focused on those 2 Imperial dudes that have to stand apparently inside the cannon right next to the superlaser on the Death Star. I can just imagine one of them talking to his family back home on some distant world, trying to ease their concerns over the risks of his new assignment... hiding from everyone the truth about his romantic relationship with this other man that he's stationed with and the recent revelation that he's developed cancer from high levels of laser radiation exposure. The final moments of the film would show him and his partner embracing tightly as the Death Star crumbles all around them in slow motion while a Sarah Maclachlan song plays in some alien language.
Jango Fett
The origin of the Jedi
I've got an idea for a film that's basically a Lovecraftian horror story set in the Star Wars Universe.
Two Jedi archaeologists -- a master and his newly appointed apprentice -- are sent to serve as consultants on a remote backwater planet where the ruins of a long extinct civilization have been unearthed. Apparently, this civilization wiped itself millions of years ago after succumbing to some bizarre pandemic which caused them all to develop conflicting memories about themselves, their peers, and the history of their world, driving them to homicidal madness in the process.
As the archaeological team digs deeper and deeper into the ruins, they, too, begin to suffer from the madness which wiped out this lost civilization, recalling conflicting memories about themselves, their peers, and the universe around them.
Eventually, it is discovered that this plague of madness is caused by some bizarre orb buried at the heart of the ruins -- an orb which serves as a window into the multiverse. Anyone who gets too close to the orb and its emanations gains the memories of their counterparts in other timelines, driving them insane in the process.
In the end, the Jedi master sacrifices himself by merging with the orb, defeating it in the process. His apprentice, who suffered prolonged exposure to the radiations of the orb, is left insane, unable to distinguish one reality from another, existing in multiple worlds at once.

...we then find out that this is the narrator of the PT, which explains the bizarre nature of the storytelling. ; )
But really, your idea is really good Duracell! I'd watch that movie or read that book!
There's no way that anybody besides the hardcore fans expect to see a bounty hunter in a movie with "Star Wars" in its title. The average person would feel ripped off if they go to see a "Star Wars" movie and it's about Boba Fett.
