How about Vader-Maul-Grevious hybrid clones with quadruple-bladed lightsabers in each hand ;-)

I'm not a fan of 'prequalism' but the LOST TWENTY was something that was never properly fleshed out in the prequals, maybe there are still a few floating around that aren't necessarily fallen Jedi, but they have conflicting ideas to Luke's . It's hard trying imagine a new Big Bad that could compete with Vader, even if the prequels destroyed his character
I'm not exactly fond of the Lost Twenty, mainly because I find the idea that only twenty Jedi would ever leave the Order due to a difference of opinion pretty stupid.
I'm surprised this thread made it to -- from my perspective -- eight pages. I expected interest to peter out after the second or third page.
I'd personally love to see Hamill give a live-action performance in his Joker voice ;-)
It's pretty unlikely that in an entire galaxy, only two Force religions would ever spring up. There should be a countless number of religions and sects in the galaxy, all with their own philosophies on the Force.
But Lucas wanted to dumb down everything, simplify it so he could place undue emphasis on the Jedi/Sith dichotomy.
^We finally agree on something Star Wars related ;-)
I wonder if copyright laws would apply to films made in alternate universes.
The thread for Freds appears to be dead. Perhaps there's a bigger market for famous Teds?

Nothing personal, but why are there so many people misspelling Kershner's name.
What I want to know is why no one's misspelt it as "Cershner" ;-)
I'm pretty holidaisical -- and the rest of the family doesn't celebrate it -- so it pretty much passed me by. I watched Scrooged, though (it was okay, but nothing great; I liked it better when I saw it as a teenager back in '03), as a small way of acknowledging the day.
I wonder if an adaptation set outside of Christmas -- outside of any holiday whatsoever -- could work.
As far as I know, nothing in the EU is to contradict what's been established in the movies. That doesn't indicate to me that the writers have to include prequelisms where/when they aren't necessary.
Truth be told, it's been about two years or so since I last watched a SW film. There's just too much other stuff I need to rewatch before I bother with Star Wars at the moment.
^Zahn really did that? This honestly makes me lose respect for him.
Bah humbug to all, and to all a bum hug.
The prejorative term for a heterosexual is "breeder", thank you very much.

tl;dr
I will say, though, that I consider Star Wars science fantasy, not strictly fantasy or science-fiction.
^That's what I ask myself in regards to almost every comic book movie that's been released lately. I'd rather see Batman face a schizophrenic child killer who lives in a rat-infested apartment building than some international terrorist organization who wants to bring the First World to its knees.

How about more Space Asians?
Are you talking about the Epicanthix? God, was that a stupid idea -- why don't they go and make Lando a member of a race known as the Steatopygians while they're at it?
Alright. Then I'll create the "Did we really need the 'The New Thread' thread?".
There really should be a thread discussing whether or not we need the "O_o" emoticon. I'll see about creating one right away.
There are so many historical figures/events that come up/are mentioned in the EU that are leaps and bounds ahead of the Sith in the interest department, but they only get mentioned briefly or alluded to in vague comments or in articles while series after series focusing on the monotonous, two-dimensional Sith and their homogenous Sith Wars are churned out year after year.
I really can't help but to wonder at how the EU would have developed had the PT never been made. There certainly wouldn't be this one-track fixation on the Sith at any rate.
