^ I second that. We need a lighthearted movie set in the SW universe without any battles.
So you replaced a childish CGI alien with a childish Halloween mask? I mean, I’m happy either way, but it’s not really an improvement.
Star Wars - The Tosche Station scenes.
Just a casual remind that I’m working on a frame-by-frame restoration of Luke and Biggs’s conversation.
Rogue One - Vader’s assault on the Tantive IV.
Um, what? That’s the most universally beloved scene in the movie. If you disliked it for being fanservice, you’re gonna hate Solo.
JEDIT: Punctuation
Could I see both your and Hal 9000’s take on Palpatine’s facial transformation?
Order 66 sucks pretty bad.
Music’s nice though.
Order 66 is one of the best scenes in the Saga!
The worst is easily R2 and 3PO on Geonosis.
Honestly, I would prefer they lay off the Skywalker saga for a long while. Perhaps they could pick it up again someday, with something like a 100 year timegap.
Sounds perfect. I can’t imagine that time gap would match the real one though. I think 50 would be decent compromise, but I don’t think the corporate machine could wait that long.
I wouldn’t call it the “Skywalker saga.” It may have focus on the Skywalker family, but it doesn’t necessarily mean it’s about them. The originals were its own thing, the prequels told the backstory of the characters from the classic trilogy, and the sequels are about new characters, while the original characters still have a major role in the films, since we want to see where they are, not to mention them being galactic heroes. If Lucasfilm decides to make Episodes X, XI and XII, I think it would be a nice Segway from Episode IX to the fourth trilogy by having Rey and Ben lead off with their potential kids. Yes, I do think Kylo Ren and Rey will, in a way, end up together. Those are just my thoughts.
I agree 100% with not calling it the Skywalker Saga, hence why I never refer to it as such. This makes me wonder why you quoted me here.
I very much think that the Skywalker Saga is definitely over after IX. However I don’t think it will be the end of numbered episodes. And by that I mean, I think we’ll see the start of new “sagas” with their own numberings.
I have been considering the possibility of numbered sagas, an idea I got from the title of an early draft of ANH (like my username).
I think they should make some movies, take a break, make some more, take a break. I don’t think they gave Solo enough time. They should have stuck with the Christmas releases.
Blame Disney. Lucasfilm, like any sane person wanted a December release date, but Disney want to keep their promise to shareholders that their purchase of Lucasfilm would have broken even by this financial quarter.
I believe Dave Filoni had some trouble making The Clone Wars when it first debuted, due To George Lucas interfering. The Clone Wars movie that came out in theaters is just four episodes of the show mashed together, because they were being rushed by George because he wanted a movie in theaters.
The Clone Wars was only good because the two were working together. Without Filoni, you get the Prequels. Without Lucas, you get Rebels. Honestly, I’d take the former over the latter, but I think we can all agree TCW outdoes them both.
If they do take a five year break they should get rid of Kathleen, restore majority of the EU, promote Pablo as creative director, redo the prequels and restore and release the OUT. If anyone has a problem with this please pm me instead of derailing the thread.
I’m really getting sick of your sh*t, Zerome.
You keep barging into threads and hating on anything that isn’t the OT (or the EU, apparently?). The way you go about it is very disrespectful towards the people involved in these productions as well as fellow users.
The reason behind Vernon’s name is brilliant.
While it does explain why they took in Harry in the first place despite hating him, the bond of blood charm doesn’t explain why they straight-up abusive with him.
I have no idea what 1/1/2 or 3/1/2 means.

I’m also not convinced much of this has to do with Disney. For better or worse, this is the vision a Lucasfilm without George has for Star Wars.
I think the saga should end with 9 films. I think the other films should focus on other times and other people. I think for trilogies it needs to be something epic, but for a one off film it could be about anyone. I think for the trilogies they should go back to the glory days of the Republic and Jedi. We have Palpatine saying the Republic is 1000 years old and Obi-wan saying the Jedi have been the guardians for a thousand generations, which by some estimates is 25000 years. So that is a huge time frame. It would be fun to have a Trilogy on the origins of the Prequel republic and it would be awesome to do some movies from way before that. When the Sith were the real enemy and not just maneuvering behind the scenes. There are so many corners of the Star Wars universe and timeline to explore. The possibilities are endless. We need to be done with the Skywalker story.
I think if they move away from the episodic saga, they should take that as an opportunity to move away from trilogies. Why not a pentalogy? Or a show?
Yeah, I see what you mean.
Yeah, I’m saying it’s an interesting idea.
Dursleys under the Imperius Curse? I guess that would explain their treatment of Harry. The only other theory out there is that him being a horcrux drove them insane, which doesn’t really add up given his friends were fine.
JEDIT: Fixed the curse name.
Frankly that’s not surprising. EA’s handling of the license has been absolutely terrible. Their exclusivity deal should be pulled.
It should never have been made in the first place. I knew from the moment it was announced no good could come from it. They signed a deal with the corporate incarnation of the Devil. It was inevitable it would cause problems.
I say that they should reveal the sequels and anything else Disney to be a nightmare Luke had after ROTJ
I love the sequel trilogy. Why is there so much hate for it!? Did everyone forget about the prequels!?
Please get off Ryan’s cock. TLJ sucks ass!! At least the prequels had some watchability
Be nice, or be dog food.
Thank you very much for standing up for me, but I think it is best that you do not give any toxic bullies in the fanbase any notification and recognition by not responding to them. You are just giving them justification by doing so. I just wish the toxicity in the Star Wars fanbase will stop. It’s awful.
The sequels started the toxicity, without them we would all be happier
Correction: People like you started the toxicity. It’s okay to dislike the Jedi, but the way you go about expressing it is unacceptable.
What does?
Even if he had owned a droid, he wasn’t exactly a trustworthy figure by that point.
Has anyone ever tried to have Obi-wan say “Was I any different when Qui-Gon trained me” in ESB? One would think it wouldn’t be too hard to have Guinness say that, considering a certain other movie he was in.
As someone who’s never seen Alec Guinness in anything but Star Wars, which movie would that be?

Look, I’m not gonna act like the Sequels have been the greatest addition to the mythos, but by God Lucasfilm needs stand by its decisions. Remember the Paradigm Daleks?
Also, Rogue One was awesome.

The fact is this is a small community, so you can’t just walk away from bullies and expect to never see them again.
I hesitate to post to this thread for fear of overshadowing the HP Edit Megathread I just made, but this is music specific, so I’ll post it here. Let me know if you guys think that’s the right choice or not. Anyway, while I don’t intend to use non-HP music for my edits, for those who are willing to, I did notice that this theme might not be too out of place in HP.
The Force Priestesses being the Whills is actually my headcanon.
I don’t think that would ever happen. Lucas sold Lucasfilm for the money. I think he’d hold onto his creation as a long as possible, unless Kennedy hands him a couple billion dollars.
Oh please. He sold it because he wanted to retire. He’s too old for this shit. He’s specifically said that he decided not to do the ST himself because it’d be a ten year commitment. He didn’t the money. He was already rich. He was just giving away his old toys.
This is the place to share any and all ideas for Harry Potter fanedits that aren’t already attached to a specific edit in development (although those are welcome too). Think of it as the Harry Potter “Radical Redux Thread”.
For starters, I’d like to suggest making the old Flitwick from the Columbus films into a separate character. To establish this, young Flitwick could be added to this shot. Since Filius is Latin for son, it seems only right to make this older teacher Filius Flitwick’s father Pater Flitwick, Pater being Latin for father.
But we’re assuming that he still hands over his control of Lucasfilm to Kathleen Kennedy.
all I can say is I think I would much rather have what we got than that “microbiotic” world…https://www.flickeringmyth.com/2018/06/george-lucas-says-fans-would-have-hated-his-star-wars-sequel-trilogy/
What he’s describing sounds like Osmosis Jones, which I don’t even he would want a SW film to be like. He’s probably just poorly describing his ideas. I assume they’d have the creativity of the Prequels, which would be a marked improvement over the Sequels we got in at least that regard. I wonder if he’d have learned some lessons from the Prequels and avoided making the same mistakes. As Jar Jar’s role proves, he responds to criticism at least to some extent. It’s pretty clear he wouldn’t have directed the whole trilogy. I suspect he’d have taken an approach similar to the Originals, if not even more backseat. Hell, for all we know, maybe he’s doing that right now but (understandably) doesn’t want anyone to know.
We didn’t find out until after the Disney deal that the real reason he wanted his own studio space was so he could make the ST right there in his backyard.
I love the idea of George Lucas, waking up, grabbing some breakfast, and heading to the set of the latest Star Wars in his PJs.
From what I understand Solo was being developed by Lawrence Kasdan even before the Disney buyout, and Lucas had at one point planned to write/direct Episode VII himself.
Add to that Rogue One being in development before the buyout.
Some mix and matches won’t work due to choices one editor makes that contradict things in a different editor’s work, but Seciors’ I, Hal’s II, and L8wrtr’s III is a popular combo trilogy.
Can I get fries with that?
I’ll also give a shout out to his The Force Awakens: Restructured, which has definitively replaced theatrical TFA for me in a way no other fan edit ever truly has, even prequel edits
Probably because it strays so little from the source material.
Say Lucas had handed over his company to Kathleen Kennedy, but without selling it to Disney. Would things still have played out roughly the same? Are Disney basically just funding them (and forcing to release Solo in May)? Or would there actually be a significant difference? Maybe the sequel trilogy but no spinoffs?
