Quick google search (thanks pat man!) shows they killed him in Fate of the Jedi. Is that the EU to which you're referring?

The following has been done, too, but in the film maybe they can have Dark Luke. I love how Mark describes his ideas for ROTJ here:

Interestingly enough JJ is at the table as well. It's a nice video.

Explain how.

Money can be exchanged for goods and services.

Let's expand the SW galaxy rather than shrinking it down further, with ever-connecting "poetry".

Hell, introduce Luke as a possible mentor to the young female protagonist in Ep VII, then kill him the hell off halfway through the movie. DO IT.

The way ROTS ends, I more imagined Vader's breathing suit and body armor to be something you buy at the SW galaxy's equivalent of Wal-Mart. How else could Palps have gotten it so quickly?

I'm sowwy. :(

But this makes me realize something. While I imagine Vader's legacy will be referenced in the new films, and could possibly be a direct influence on the villain(s), I'd really like to see them move away from Vader. I just hope it isn't something like, "New villain wants to be the new Vader."

It just makes me think how the prequel trilogy shouldn't have even introduced young Vader until the second film, as a rising young Jedi. Bah.

Don't know who made this, but pretty cool.

In Scream 5 (or 5cream), Ghostface will use the lens flares from his knife to blind his victims.

What was this thread about again?

Scream

?

You said ToD was a prequel that worked, but didn't feel like a prequel.

I agreed with your sentiment and said ToD isn't really a prequel, in the sense that it doesn't provide any necessary backstory to Raiders. It's another chapter in Indy's life. It is more of a sequel that takes place before the preceding film.

I never saw ToD as a prequel, since like CP3S said it didn't seek to "answer questions" or connect the dots to a previously made film.

It was like a separate, standalone earlier chapter in Indy's life.

If anything the Young Indiana Jones Chronicles, probably the only good thing Lucas did after 1983, would fit the bill of a prequel. Damn I loved that show.

I never saw Scream as a horror comedy.

Most horror films have comedic aspects to balance out and relieve the tension and scares.

Scream, to me, was a horror movie. It also had a few funny one-liners and relief from characters like Deputy Dewey, but I always felt the prologue sets a precedent for how brutal and scary the film was going to be.

^ I'm sorry, I was referring to the new American House of Cards produced by David Fincher. Though I have known about and been interested in the British series for some time.

America, the only place where even English-language films and tv shows from foreign lands must be remade.

I just hope that when they reveal the title for the film, it becomes known as that instead of "Episode VII". I loathe the "Episode __" designations of the SW films.

It's Star Wars, Empire, and Jedi. The others don't count.

I really want to check out House of Cards, but I don't have the Netflix.

Scream 4, while not a very good movie, actually touched on some of the themes Bingo mentioned. Well, mainly the film's message was that society gives too much attention to violent criminals or just stupid teenager dipshits in general.

The movies haven't gotten into what happens to the dead too much. Are there massive cemeteries from the Clone Wars on the planets where clones fell? Are there ornate ancient Jedi tombs on forgotten worlds?

I'd love to see something like that!

I could see Luke visiting Jedi burial grounds to seek some counsel with them. Then you could work in the ghosts of Obi-Wan, Yoda, Qui-Gon, etc.

I hope to see grungy, dirty locations. Everything in the prequels is too pretty and perfect.

Let's see more of that underworld. I've been checking some of the "safe for work porn" subreddits. Some great shots of villages, cities, countrysides, etc. in those pages.

One setting we haven't had in a SW movie yet - A CEMETERY. Shmi's grave doesn't count. Sorry I don't have specific names or locations - just a general environment idea.

Another idea - a gold mine!

Joe Johnston!?

But the Emperor is Anakin's father, from a certain point of view. ;)

My Whills comment was mostly tongue in cheek. I'd have to bust out my 1998 Behind the Magic CD-ROM to remember more about it, other than it was an early title for the drafts.

I'm just glad he's freed from the shackles of milking the SW franchise, so that he can go back to making movies in his garage that nobody wants to see. ;)

Which one?
