I would prefer they made good movies than follow the EU, but if they can make a good movie while maintaining consistency with the EU, then that's even better! But the chances of that are slim, so I just hope the sequels are better than the prequels now that George Lucas is only some kind of correspondent.

Some EU novels out there are pretty good though, so even if they mess with other Star Wars, they make a good read on their own. Among my favourites are The Old Republic series and the Thrawn Trilogy.

I don't think I saw that. Do remember how far back you posted it?

Exactly. Then while Palpatine is in the middle of saying "no" repeatedly, show Windu lift his lightsaber in the air out of frustration, like he's going to kill him just to shut him up.

Come to think of it, I think Anakin might scream "No" somewhere around there too. The whole thing can turn into a big "no" fest

List of "No's" that could be used:

Obi-Wan's no from TPM

Qui-Gon's no from when Anakin slaughters the sand people

Darth Vader's infamous no (to signify Anakin's fall to the dark side)

and of course a repetitious no from Palpatine.

"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."

The Jedi may have been misportrayed by the media, leading the public to believe that they didn't really possess powers as great as they did. So most people wouldn't have thought that much of the Jedi.

LOL, like Anakin's "Very, very, very, very, very dangerous" line in tRM.

If you want a good list of Yoda dialogue, there is a lot at http://www.yodajeff.com/multimedia/sounds/ mostly from tESB and RotJ.

Since Yoda is so old, I think the effects of his age should begin to appear in tRSB and RotR (Ep. 6). What I have in mind is that there should frequently be long, awkward pauses, followed by "I am wondering, why are you here?" or just the last bit of that sentence. He could also stop talking mid-sentence, Luke could prompt him or be confused, and then he could start talking to himself or something like Gollum/Smeagol.

Some example monologue for Yoda talking to himself could be...

YODA1: He is too old, yes, too old to begin the training.

YODA2: 800 years have I trained Jedi, too old I am not!

YODA1: A Jedi must have the deepest commitment, the most serious mind. My own council will I keep on who is to be trained!

YODA2: A serious mind have I! Hmm-hmm! (laughing)

YODA1: I cannot teach him, he has no patience.

YODA2: 800 years have I--

YODA1: Much anger in him, like his father.

YODA2: Hear you nothing I say?

He could have several debates with himself about whether or not to train himself, and it could go on and on...and more monologue:

YODA2: End your training now, choose the quick and easy path, as Vader did, become an agent of evil. Start down the dark path, forever it will dominate your destiny, consume you it will, as it did to Obi-Wan's apprentice.

YODA1: Much anger in him.

YODA2: Mudhole, slimy this is!

YODA1: My home this is!

It might be best to give Yoda a serious and a silly personality in tRSB and RotR to make it more clear to the audience that he is talking to himself. All of the examples I gave use available dialogue, and I only scratched the surface of what you could do with him.

The song is "Carrie" by Cliff Richard. If you search it up you should be able to find another version somewhere else on Youtube or elsewhere that you can watch or listen to. This one has my vote.

Maybe the exhaust port leading straight to the main reactor could somehow be made to be one of his alterations.

I've been working mostly linearly, but I have done a few out-of-order things (all posted previously)

Grievous: First Look

Steve Grievous Test

Ani Reads Padme's Mind

Ani and Padme: My Eyes

Right, I forgot about these.

It has been slow lately. But I don't think the opening few minutes are going to satisfy me! Speaking of which, are you (Frink) working on the edit from beginning to end, or have you been working on scenes later in the movie as well?

Hopefully they won't mess with the acronyms when they name the movies...

Not sure if this has been suggested yet, but Luke should have great difficulty hitting the button that brings the door down. When he finally hits the button, it should do something else, and the gate should fall on its own when the guys on the outside open the door.

Gee whiz. It's people like that (Johnny5/Darth Ideias) who give religion a bad name.

Unless you're worried about having acronym conflicts with the Lord of the Rings, you could call this "The Last of the Ridiculousness" since Luke is the last of the Jedi. Or you could call it "The Last Wookie" or something. Or "Ridiculousness of the Wookies" or "The End of Ridiculousness." Unless you're planning to ridiculize the ST.

If this has already been addressed in another thread, please direct me to it.

I recently adopted the view that the entirety of Star Wars canon was really an embellished history of what happened, not what "actually" happened. That would explain wonky Star Wars physics, ridiculously short travel times, continuity errors, inconsistencies, etc. So I include all formally accepted canon as canon, but don't regard it as infallible and completely accurate.

I would love to hear what everyone else includes in their personal canon, so fire at will!

I think the Jedi would be fairly well known from the holonet, but I'm sure it would be extremely rare for the average guy/girl/other to see a Jedi in his/her/its lifetime. They would be a lot more common on core worlds like Coruscant, but farther out in the galaxy, most people would have just seen brief clips of them on the news or only heard of them.

 AOTR

Best typo ever!

LOL. I'm so used to typing AOTR rather than AOTC that I didn't even think about it when I typed it out...

My turn.

In TPM I liked:

-Watto

-Liam Neeson's performance, but not so much his dialogue

-The podrace, except for the announcer and some bits with Anakin

-The three underwater monsters in the "Core"

-Theed

-When the doors in the Naboo hangar open to reveal Darth Maul (I think that should have been the first time we see him though)

-Most of the Obi-Wan & Qui-Gon vs. Maul battle

-The MTTs and the AATs

-The way the battle droids came out of the MTTs

In AOTC I liked:

-The arena battle on Geonosis

-Most of what had to do with Obi-Wan, especially...

-Everything with Jango (excluding Boba's part in it)

-Dooku

In ROTS I liked:

-The emotion in it, it didn't seem so fake and unemotional like the other two

-Most of the Anakin vs. Obi-Wan battle

-Order 66: the emotion and the different planets especially, but not the Anakin bit

-The reason Anakin turned to the Dark Side (the way it was done was pretty bad and too sudden)

-Utupau and the whole battle, including Grievous

-General Grievous and his wheel bike

-The opening scene up until the buzz droids came along, but they weren't that bad

-The scene with Anakin and Padme before Anakin decided to go help Palpitine

-I also like Yoda's confrontation of Sidious, but it could have been better

Overall I liked:

-The way Palpatine/Sidious was manipulating everything, and Ian's performance overall (though it was overplayed for his transformation scene)

-Mace Windu and his purple lightsabre (I would have liked it if there were more purple lightsabres and some yellow and orange ones too, to spice things up a bit)

-The gradual change of the spaceships towards the OT designs

-The Naboo starfighters and ships

-The Jedi Temple and the look of Coruscant

-The score, especially Duel of the Fates, the stuff that played during Order 66, and the emotional music during the Anakin Padme scene with Anakin alone in the council chamber

I wouldn't mind seeing a movie about Yoda, since there is so much to tell about him and it would be possible to make a movie of him without touching on existing EU material and stuff from the movies. The deleted Dagobah scene from ROTS could be used near the end... But I have a feeling that he would lose too much of his mystery and the movie would be badly done.

I wouldn't mind something from between the Old Republic Era and the PT since it isn't touched on much in the Star Wars universe.

I would find it really interesting if a story of one of the background characters was made into a movie and included a shot from one of the existing movies (not an identical shot of course, but one from their perspective). This could be someone in the cantina in ANH, one of the podracers, a rebel, or pretty much anybody.

The story of the Millennium Falcon could make a good movie, aside from the fact that it is already in novel form and not a bad novel either.

I almost wish we just ended up with several stand-alone films and nothing directly related to the other six movies. Too many loose ends were tied up in ROTJ for the next three movies to tie in well.

"I can't believe he/she's gone" should be Luke's running line. He should say it when Han leaves before the Battle of Yavin; every time someone is killed in said battle; when Yoda, Vader, and the emperor die; etc.

When Vader kills Obi-Wan, perhaps he could have some trouble? What I have in mind is that Vader would swing his sabre at Obi, Luke would yell "Nooo-" and have it cut short, since Obi-Wan would still be standing. Vader could swear (bleeped out of course), and try again, repeating the same thing with Luke, Vader, and Obi-Wan as many times as it needs to become funny and as few times as takes to remain funny.

Oh wait...that wouldn't work if they were leaving the Death Star without him.

It could still be done though. Perhaps when they come of the ship, use that scene and have Vader suddenly fighting Obi-Wan outside, but have him fail to kill him. Then cut to a sped up shot of Obi-Wan going through the halls, implying that he is using force speed. Cut back to Vader, showing the doors closing, and have Obi-Wan and the team meet up in the control room thing, or have Obi go straight to the tractor beam thing and begin the scene in the control room thing beginning after Obi-Wan leaves.

I haven't seen ANH in a while, so I'm not sure how plausible this is, but I'm sure some of this could be used...if it's funny enough, that is.

Make Anakin pull the thing on top of him and say "Oops!"

I like it, but Dooku's crazy flip could use a cartoony sound effect.
