So this was made... (caution strong language)
I think we can guess where he stands.
Die Another Day (2002)
Opening theme by Madonna? UGH. This movie had its moments. The Korean imprisonment, Cuba, the sword fight. Outside of that though...eesh. They went way over the top with the outlandish tech it was ridiculous. I've never been a fan of Halle Berry and the whole "your momma" line was just terrible. Good action but overall pretty disappointing.
Finished Halo 3: ODST a couple days ago. That was pretty fun. I loved the noir atmosphere to it all. Though I'm still miffed that I somehow missed the last one or two audio logs.
I was hoping to have finished all of the preceding games (sans Wars) before Halo 4 came out but it doesn't look like that's going to be happening. Reach barely arrived in the mail today. Ah well, will definitely be pulling an all-nighter tonight on 4.

I understand that most people want to play as a Jedi, but if we were allowed a choice in 1990s, why can't I get a game today sans Jedi?
I guess you haven't been following Star Wars 1313 or played Republic Commando or Bounty Hunter.

whenever I think of SW outside of the OT and its potential, i'll always think back to when I saw that trailer for SW Galaxies and how moved I was (i wish I could find it again).
Hate to bring up the prequels but they're like the Gungan shields in TPM. They're designed to stop fast moving projectiles while slower objects can still pass through.
Well I will say I didn't care for how they changed the Therns. But the overall feel of Mars, the character designs, the pace and action were excellent. Certainly better than sitting around in a space senate hearing.

They did not get in the way of Whedon on Avengers or Stanton on John Carter. But they probably should have on John Carter.
Only if it was to force a title change to something like John Carter and a Princess of Mars. It had a bad title but the film was great. Mostly the film suffered from a criminally poor publicity campaign.

If anything, the rebel victory at Endor could have been a victory for the Empire, as the Emperor would probably have had an heir to the throne, an even more powerful offspring of the Emperor just waiting for the right moment to take power.
On a more serious note, here's something to speculate about. On the official site they have a page dedicated to the future of Star Wars after the announcement. On that page they have a section titled "STAR WARS: THE SKYWALKER SAGA" and in it is simply this video with the description: "Slave. Hero. Villain. Savior. Revisit the stunning journey of Anakin Skywalker -- the central figure of the Star Wars saga -- in this special video presentation."
So what saga do you think the ST will be?
What's weird about that is that they went and licensed the book but then only used the title. Pretty much nothing from the book made it into the movie.
The whole POTC/MI connection is kind of sad. They were working on an animated MI movie back in the '90s but it was cancelled. Later on a couple of the writers from that project were hired to work on POTC and decided to use concepts from the now defunct film.
As for if we'll ever see more MI, that will again be up to the president of Lucasarts. The only Lucas property Disney is interested in is Star Wars.
Yeah Mike you should really take a look around the various sites that have reported on this. The comment sections are full of calls for the OUT.

Why would he have lunch with Carrie and Mark about the new movies if they have no involvement? Just to give them a 'heads up'?
Probably to gauge their interest.

They actually seem to have a plot that they're working toward. I'm actually excited to see where this goes.
Yeah this point in the comics is where it felt like the story found some direction.

Maybe 5-25-77 will finally come out now?
I hope so but I'm kind of worried. He was doing a cross country promotional tour of the film but ran into some bad luck. On September 18th he made a blog post about how the brakes in the vehicle he was using were shot and that he needed help. He hasn't blogged since. =/
Spaced Invaders (1990)
Hadn't seen this in years but remembered loving it when I was younger. It's still pretty fun and it's interesting seeing the animatronics not holding up as well as you had imagined they did when you were younger. I also love the concept of aliens mistaking a broadcast of Orsen Welles' War of the Worlds for a real invasion.
I think it's also important to note that this film's director is none other than Patrick Read Johnson. The man behind 5-25-77.
Right now my biggest concern is the fate of Dark Horse' Star Wars license. What with Disney owning Marvel it would be a tragedy if they were cut out. The Dark Horse team has consistently been releasing the best Star Wars content for years now.

The forum is starting to become a little unstable. I'm glad your post of it went through though.
What I found interesting in that was:
"I have story treatments of 7,8 and 9. And a bunch of other movies."
- George Lucas
I don't know how to process this. =|
They were pushing it with T2. The whole point of the flesh Terminators was that they could fool the resistance and infiltrate their bases to eradicate them. How is that supposed to work if entire production lines are identical?
It would have worked better if they established that Skynet periodically abducts survivors and replaces them with cybernetic doubles. A sort of post-apocalyptic take on the Invasion of the Body Snatchers.
Yeah but wasn't there like a music video that used the English version?

^Yeah, Chrome just tried to stop me from reading this thread just due to the redirects to SaveSW. That's a pretty big issue if even my web browser can detect it... this might warrant a PM to Zombie as I know he's still lurking now and then.
Yeah I just got the same. =/
I could swear I've heard the English version of Lapti Nek before but I can never find it anywhere.

They could do the TRON CGI style youth treatment on Arnold, but then why not just make it an animated film with his voice?
“The original ended with Arnold on the throne as a seasoned warrior, and this is the take of the film we will make… It’s that Nordic Viking mythic guy who has played the role of king, warrior, soldier and mercenary, and who has bedded more women than anyone, nearing the last cycle of his life. He knows he’ll be going to Valhalla, and wants to go out with a good battle.”
This movie picks up Conan where Arnold is now in his life, and we will be able to use the fact that he has aged in this story. I love the property of Conan so much that I wouldn’t touch it unless we came up with something worthy. We think this is a worthy successor to the original film. Think of this as Conan’s Unforgiven.
