Can't really call it The Clone Wars if there aren't any clones in it. ;)

I think the Falcon would have been donated to some war museum
I can already see the climactic battle inside the museum, where the bad guy escapes...
"Oh no, he's getting away!" - "Wait, isn't that the old ship I used to fly?" - "It sure is, gramps... let's go!"
... and the good guys crash the Falcon out of its display box (or display hangar) to go after him.
Didn't the Battlestar Galactica reboot series do that already though? ;)

I don't enjoy Star Trek. It is a soulless science-fiction.

Looks like it's in pretty good shape too. The LED display can get cloudy with age, at least those made in the 90's. Panasonic kept making these a long time.
Dare I say nice rack? ;)
Those sickos at Robot Chicken seem to be 2001 fans.

The second clip is even more funny when you remember that particular satellite is supposed to be an orbiting nuke.
I would imagine the list from Lucasfilm of things they couldn't do with the characters and storylines only got longer after 1983.
There were still the first to have Boba Fett escape the Sarlacc though. I don't know if it was Lucasfilm that made them put him right back in or not.
Stephen King finally got The Shining adaptation he really wanted. Yet, with the release of his sequel novel Doctor Sleep, he's been bitching about Kubrick's film again. I thought he had some sort of agreement with Stanley to knock that off?
It must suck to cash those royalty checks for editions of the book with Jack Nicholson on the cover. ;)

^That's actually a cool idea. I don't know about the ST, but maybe the spin-offs or a TV show. "The Adventures of Jaxxon Across the Galaxy Far, Far Away." I'd watch that.
As would I.
George may still have a giant green space rabbit phobia though. ;)

I don't care too much about EU books and some of them should most definitely be ignored (like Dark Empire for example). But on the other hand, I couldn't care less if Chewie is not in the new films.
More tact, and less profanity please? This isn't the dvdtalk.com forum. ;)
I think msycamore mentioned some scenes in the 16mm are in a different order similar to the mysterious Italian recording? (THX's trial, the visit from LUH in the white void, and THX being manipulated by the unseen technicians.) The individual scenes themselves are not cut differently, AFAIK.
The logo and the SEN extended scenes are the only ones I'm sure about.
That kind of timing could be a problem if they ever adapt 2061 and 3001 into films. ;)
Some of us were those kids buying vulgar amounts of SW merchandise back in the day. I think once you bought enough Kenner product, and sent in those proof of purchase seals, they issued you stock in the company. ;)
No worries, the duplicate thread has been dealt with.
Welcome aboard.
2010:The Year We Make Contact explains 2001 a bit. Perhaps too much. ;)
I went to see the Kubrick exhibit last summer, and seeing items like the Starchild and Dave's space helmet close up was totally worth it.
They talked about a live action show for quite some time though. (The Disney deal may have permanently put it on the back burner.) Whether the scripts written for that are being used for Rebels, I have no idea.
Why on Earth should the script be chained down to twenty years worth of novels? Believe it or not, there are casual fans who have never read them, and average moviegoers who just like the original films. Disney would like them to buy a ticket. Having to explain why Chewie's not around is going to be a distraction and a downer.
Saying the novels were canon when there weren't going to be any new movies might have made sense at the time, but it's just going to cause problems now.
Isn't there already a minor continuity issue with where the Clone Wars micro series fits in with the CGI show?
You don't have this issue with Trek. The shows and the movies are continuity king.
Has the exact time frame been pinned down yet? It's a twenty year gap between ROTS and ANH. I wouldn't expect it to be too close to the original film to duck the issue of why we don't see Leia doing her thing, or run into anyone else familiar.
They probably don't want to overuse Vader. The prequels and TCW proved Palpatine goes through a lot of expendable henchmen.
I wonder if a certain pair of droids will show up though.
Given his stated job is to hunt down surviving Jedi, it makes sense.
Odds are the EU is going to be ignored in the new films. It's simply too much backstory for the non hardcore fan audience to deal with. Therefore, Chewie lives.
That's not too outrageous compared to what some people have paid for prints of certain movies around here. There are likely fewer collectors with 35mm projectors in their house.
Here's hoping someone on the board got it.
True, but Yoda didn't fess up about dear old dad until Luke asked him point blank. Mentioning someone who was likely too far away to be of any help in the current situation wasn't what Luke needed to hear.
If Yoda couldn't sense any survivors after Order 66, going back to rig the Jedi Temple transmitter to send a warning to stay away seems pointless.
Ahsoka left the order, and they cancelled her membership, so it can still be true from a certain point of view. ;)
So, it's become that one relative nobody ever wants to mention by name at Thanksgiving dinner? As much as some people would like to forget those movies exist, it's simply not going to happen. It's called The Star Wars Saga, not the two movies we really like, plus the third one we don't like as much. ;)
Not referencing the PT at all would be pretty distracting. (And TCW is better than the prequels by a mile.) I don't see how they could even avoid mentioning Coruscant at least once. It would be like a political thriller not making mention of Washington D.C.
As I've said before, it seems pretty clear Yoda was sensing Mace die in ROTS, so I don't see him coming back. Unlike Luke in Cloud City, he got fried pretty good by Palpatine.
If Lucas has been planning this for a while, Ahsoka leaving the Jedi Order on TCW might be more than just explaining away why she isn't in ROTS. Her still being around after all these years isn't implausible.
