You really need to read the original graphic novels. I don't know how they managed to stay fairly faithful but at the same time sap all of the entertainment out of those stories.

What killed Dark Knight Returns is they failed to put any of the emphasis or emotion into their delivery of the lines. Just awful execution.

If they're going to bring in another planet-destroying superweapon, then it should be scaled down, something relatively small and maneuverable -- a rocket with a cannon strapped to it, you could say --  not another moon-sized space station.

 Pretty much exactly what I was thinking.  I'd rather it be a space gun than another Death Star.

 Like The Tarkin?

 Or The Sun Crusher?

Chris Weitz Joins Gareth Edwards’ ‘Star Wars’ Standalone Pic as Writer

Chris Weitz has come on board to pen Gareth Edwards’ “Star Wars” standalone movie for Disney and Lucasfilm.

He replaces Gary Whitta, who wrote the first draft of the script. Weitz’s involvement shouldn’t delay the start of production for the film, which is set for release on Dec. 16, 2016. Weitz was nominated for an Oscar for his work on the “About a Boy” adapted screenplay.

The film will be some sort of origin tale for a classic “Star Wars” character, with Boba Fett and Han Solo rumored to be possible routes, but more details of the story are unknown.

Edwards has been meeting with women, including Rooney Mara and Felicity Jones, for one of the female roles.

A new Indiana Jones?
Time

Everyone seems to forget Indiana has been played by others before. By at least four other actors in live action productions.

I thought Sean Patrick Flanery played a great Indy.

I have no qualms about casting a new Indiana Jones, I see it as about the same as casting a new James Bond.

What I wouldn't care for is a remake or reboot.

Clone Wars Movie Series [Episodes I to V released; Episode IX: The Fallen Apprentice now Complete!]

Those trailers are fantastic! Can't wait to check it out!

I took a short break from my Dune Messiah edit to make ... well ... essentially this for my brother's Christmas present, and I just finished it (the first movie) today.

I was considering releasing it, but it's pretty damn similar to yours, so I doubt I will. 

 I hope you decide to release yours as well, it'd be fascinating to compare the different directions two editors take with the same material!

Makes you wonder if anyone remembers the X-wing game that inspired the novels.

Been so long i doubt the current generation has ever played it never mind ever heard of it.

Wedge was a main character in the books.  He has been erased from the new movie.

Some no name dude leads rogue squadron.

 Ô_o

All of the old X-Wing games literally went back on sale this past week after years of campaigning for them to do so.

The actor that plays Wedge was invited to come back and responded:

Denis Lawson said:

I’m not going to do that….They asked me but it just would have bored me.

Even if they hadn't invited him back, him not appearing does not equate him being erased. It's been 30 years since ROTJ, he would have retired by now anyway.
