When I see the price on amazon ($19.49) I don't see why I could get this "otherwise".

And I've just seen that there are french subs! Really great! Can't wait to see that!

Anyway, thanks for the infos about the show!

Wow, another "PT hammer-breaking" thread! Anyone has ever counted how many threads of that kind there are here?...

"Shadows of the Empire" could make a really good show as well. Ah, such potential, and they want to make a show with a new story, between ROTS and ANH...

Well, I think EU stories could be cool on the "little" screen, as TV series, not movies. It would be too difficult, and surely too long IMO.

I've already said it, but I think that all the "Rogue Squadron" series (novels, comics, games...) could be a really good material for a TV show.

You know, before seeing that on sw.com, I didn't know this show (never aired in France, of course...), but it looks just great! If there are french subs, or just english sub (better for my comprehension than "vocal" english!) I'll surely buy it!

So, is the rest of the show as good as this excerpt? And which other films are "broken" in it?

If you haven't seen it yet, there's a "Robot Chicken" (stop-motion series, created by Seth Green) video with a great ESB parody!
It's here (from that page), and available to all.

A TF.N article about the show:

"First up, the Stars Wars TV series that we’ve been hearing about since Sith came out. “That’s not going to happen probably for another year and a half while we develop scripts and everything else. But it’s fantastic; we’ve got some incredible writers. It’s going to be much darker, much more character-based, and I think it’s going to be everything the fans always wanted the prequels to be . They’ll be one-hour episode. It takes place between Episodes III and IV. It’s going to be all-new characters, maybe a few bounty hunters in there to start the series off."

-> You've read that line: "I think it’s going to be everything the fans always wanted the prequels to be" ?
The "so devoted" Rick McCallum revealing (in a way) that the prequels were not what the fans were waiting for... Incredible!

I was in the bookstore a few months ago and found a graphic novel of Return of the Jedi, except that...it wasn't ROTJ. It was some sort of weird Twilight Zone of the movie where there were two Luke Skywalkers, and a whole bunch of other shit that didn't make sense.

The story was the same, mostly, but the plot was all different. Leia and a couple of other people blew up Jabba's place (not just the sail barge), Luke battled Vader, but Leia was on the Death Star as well, then later Luke and Leia hook up or something. It was a whole bunch of messed up shit and I was looking at it going, "WTF is this?!"

How the hell does this crap get published? And even worse, who buys it?

Well, a SW movie adaptation (as a book, comics, videogame,...) is not really considered as part of the EU...
Sorry, but it's a bad example...

Compare that to Episode IV, V, VI, I, II, heck even III... the whole Jedi mannerism
and atmosphere of the universe isn't that serious..

On that, I don't agree, just cause the whole Clone Wars series isn't "that serious". All in it is exaggerated, it's the style of the series... too bad you've missed it (I mean no offence)...

After that, I think the EU has some really good moments. All is not great, but I personaly see all those elements as small parts of the Star Wars universe, the movies being the centre of all.
And if you don't want to read infos about the EU, I have only one advice for you: don't buy SW reference books.

In this case, I think they're not talking about "rarities" DVD releases, it's just rare stuff which will be put on the website (rare photos, audios, videos,...).

Hey, yes it's very funny!

That's typically what I've done for years with my brother, it's such a fun thing to do.

I really love the sounds of the lightsabers in "ESB I'm not your father". Good job!

You're absolutely right. And more when we know that Ghyslain (aka "Star Wars Kid") has done this little "movie" just for him, at school, and unfortunately forgot to take the tape with him...
And the hardcore fans in costumes, awaiting for the movie are definitely uber-geeks! The funniest video I've seen about that was that show with a "dog puppet" (I don't remember the name), mocking again and again of those guys. A BIG laugh, for sure!

Oh, I've seen it also, and I've found it really cool! It's incredible how it totally changes the scene, and the meaning of Luke and Obi's face expressions. Just great!

I've laugh a lot, while watching the original video many many times!

I've seen some of the others (edits, or parodies of famous movies trailers) and well, sometimes I've laugh, sometimes not...

The original SWK is definitely the best! Really, the first time I've seen it, I was laughing so much... I though I'd have a heart attack!
And after that (a very long time after that), I was thinking: "Oooh... poor kid..."

Here is a good link, with more than 40 illustrations by Dave Dorman in big size.

Just an advice: try to search "dave dorman wallpapers " in Google, you'll find many big illustrations, cause Dorman is a very famous Star Wars artist.

I've also scanned all the illustrations he has made for the graphic novel "Dark Forces: Jedi Knight" in 300dpi, if you're interested.
