Idea: Star Wars II - produce a watchable version of Leigh Brackett's script for ESB...

Here’s a thought.

What about producing a watchable version of Leigh Brackett’s script for ESB?

We’d have to record all of the lines with voice actors. Use “ESB” footage where possible, lots of stills, and concept art and crude animatics at other points. I’m thinking of those recreation of old “Doctor Who” episodes.

(the hardest thing would be making visuals for some of those crazy Luke and Vader in the stars sequences)

Thoughts?

That'd be interesting.  Loose Cannon has done some great recon work with Doctor Who stories that have basically no surviving anything (beyond the soundtrack) by compositing different existing images together.

The hard[est] part would be getting the soundtrack together.

I'd like to see it as a flash cartoon with all the characters etc., based on Ralph McQuarrie's art.

I'd love it too... But if you scroll down you'll see a dead animated prequels thread... =/

No, that's been moved into its own forum.  It's certainly not dead.

I'm serious about persuing this, and am aiming for an achievable goal.

I'm not looking to make an animated film. Just a "Watchable Script."

Right now I'm taking the screenplay and turning it into an audio drama type script (mainly numbering all the lines. Ex: Luke#33 Minch#65). Casting calls coming soon.

Once there's an audio track of the whole thing, I'll be laying over shots from ESB that fit, lots of still pics of the actors talking, a few pieces of concept art.

Would anyone like to take a bunch of still pics of Yoda and Photoshop him blue, so as better to portray Minch?

To show the Wampa fights I'd need a bunch of pics of Wampas, but can't seem to find many

Most challengingly, I'd need some sort of visuals for the crazy "Luke tripping out being tempted to the Dark Side in the Stars" sequences."

^Blue you say? Already done that George Lucas has.
