Actually thats just one thing that star wars is all about, Its also about the battles/Conflicts with the republic/rebellion and empire/Sepratists also whoever was around long before Episode 1,2,3

Empire/Rebellion is only a small portion of the Star Wars universe. Besides, I can see a boring out matched rebellion try and over throw an Empire (in which they couldn't do) in about 1,000,000 other stories, movies, games, and fictional universes.

What I can't see is Jedi vs. Sith with force pushing, force lightning, and lightsaber duels.

The Jedi and the Sith were something that existed thousands of years before the Empire and Rebellion were even but a thought.

Besides. What are these movies famous for anyway? A run of the mill unoriginal story line or good characters, the force, and brightly colored swords?

I said something about this in the TV program thread but I will say my thoughts again.

I would like to see a series of movies based in the old days of Star Wars. Around 2,000 years or so before all of this Vader, Luke, Han stuff existed.

These were the days where the Sith were active and there was a constant war: Jedi vs. Sith.

Star Wars is all about the force, Jedi/Sith, and light sabers. Nothing would be nicer than seeing a movie that takes place in the glory days of the force users. Plus you would have all new and unique characters.

I think that would be a great idea!! Its not what star wars is completely all about, but it is the jedi/sith, force skills and lightsabre duels that are the best!!!!

I'm not saying it is. What I am saying is that it's their biggest draw point.

What did I originally say? I said that it would be nice to see a series of Star Wars movies based in the older days of the Star Wars universe - before the Empire and Rebellion. Before Luke and Vader. Before the eradication of the force users. Before the Star Wars universe most people are familiar with.

Those older days focus on the wars between the Jedi and the Sith. A far more ancient war than any Empire vs. Rebellion. After watching the last set of movies, it's obvious that with computer technology and enhanced graphics there can be some extremely awesome looking light saber and force battles. I believe Dooku vs. Obi/Anakin/Yoda in Ep2, Yoda vs. Palpatine in Ep3, Anakin vs. Obi in Ep3, AND that awesome Jedi rescue mission in Ep2 are key examples of this.

You can't argue with the fact that Jedi/Sith and Light Sabers are the most iconic thing about the Star Wars universe - as are Darth Vader (Sith) and Yoda (Jedi). I said that it would be great to place a movie in the days where these things were at their prime. With the Sith and Jedi openly battled and in great numbers. If you gave the Star Wars a new setting, new characters, and new storyline (ones that had nothing to do with the current movies) then it would open up an entire new realm of possibilities. On top of that, there wouldn't be half as many people saying the movies are either good/terrible because they wouldn't have to be prequels or sequels.

Am I going on about the Jedi and the Sith? Of course. At it's heart, that's what Star Wars is about. And if you want to get technical - the Empire was a creation of the Sith and a Jedi defeated it. More Jedi vs. Sith action.
 
Oh what were we on about

And still that is what you still think what really drives it along. Its that and also the battles "Episodes 1,2,3" Republic/Sepratists and "Episodes 4,5,6" Rebellion/New republic and Empire..............which is still going last time i checked

Baphomet; You are really trying to go on about nothing right now. You got into something with me about absolutely nothing and now that I've clearly stated about 10x what my point was, you still keep going on as if I solely believe Star Wars is about a light saber only.

You want to quote one line? Fine. Go ahead. But why don't you quote my entire post and respond to what I just said above.

If you missed the point let me make it clear for you.

- I've said the largest and most notable thing about the Star Wars universe is the existence and battle of the Sith/Jedi which includes force powers and light sabers. This really isn't something to argue about. This is a fact. People who know nothing about Star Wars still know what a light saber is. They don't know the driving forces behind the Republic and/or Empire. I'm sorry to point this out to you.

- Secondly; and for about the 8th time I will say this. This thread was asking us our opinion on what? New Star Wars movies. I said it would be extremely nice to see a series of movies placed a few thousand years before any of your "oh so coveted" Empire/Republic - a time where the Jedi and Sith were at their peak and in open conflict. With today's technology there would be some intense battle scenes.

Yes. That's right. At it's heart, that's what Star Wars is about. Hate to break it to you. As I have said a countless amount of times; it's the Star Wars universes largest draw point. More people are familiar with the flashy laser swords and jedi mind trick than they are with details of the Empire and Republic or Rebellion. I am not saying that it's the ONLY thing in this universe but it's what everyone can relate to. What I am saying is that without Jedi/Sith, the force, and lightsabers ... wait? What am I saying? Oh. Then it's not Star Wars. That's right.

Besides, buddy. If you were to go read up a little on Star Wars history, such as a timeline or something of that nature, then you would see that before Palpatine, Luke, Anakin/Vader, or any of those people ever existed - before any Empire or Republic - there was the battle of the Sith and the Jedi. The Dark Side against the Light. Red saber vs. Blue saber.

Now. Are you going to respond to my post with an actual arguement? Some actual depth to your posts? Or are you simply gonna say "Yeah. I really don't read all your posts because it's too long for me to do so but I will say that you only think Star Wars is about Jedi/Sith and I won't acknowledge you saying anything else at all because im to far up on my high chair to come down!"

Well if you don't read any of that do read this; Go back to your Movie Trailer thread and take a seat. Front row. A few of us are getting tired of you popping in from time to time, thread to thread, and adding nothing but some one liner and a wise ass attitude some where between.
 
Bloody hell El Chupacabra no need to get all shitty about it

El Chupacabra and Baphomet, are you two starting a flame war over Star Wars? You are both nerds after my own heart.

I don't even like Star Wars that much. This was just an argument over nothing really. My point being that the Jedi/Sith and all that includes are the biggest draw point in the Franchise while Baphomet mis-read what I was saying and wanted to point out the Jedi/Sith arn't the only thing that move the franchise. Of course it's not but they are the most popular and recognizable feature in it.

A misunderstanding? Maybe. But I always defend my points when someone feels the need to correct it for me. If I didn't, there wouldn't be any point in me posting about it.
 
If George Lucas is making 3 more in the series then they probably are going to be based on the books written by other authors, like Timothy Zahn author of the Hands of Thrawn trilogy. Also these could be based on other lives of characters, like Han Solo, or the inbetween episodes.

I dont think the next films would be the same without the original cast playing the characters.

No, Really?
There's a good chance that if they do use the original cast, the new movies will probably use the books that take place in the future.

Though...now that I think of it, it might be interesting to see the Sith Era...Palpatine's past...or see Han's past and how in the hell he got into trouble w/ Jabba in more detail. But if you've read The Han Solo Trilogy you'd also understand.
 
well go to official star wars threads, they say that if they make the new movies, lucas wont be directing them or anything, his daughter or someone like that will be in charge of directing or hiring or whatever to make the movies. hes supposedly "teaching" her now.

the other plan, the whole point he did 4,5,6, then 1,2,3, is so that hamil and origional leia could be 30 years older and be able to play their same characters in 7,8,9 since 7 takes place 30 years after 6, just like 4 took place 30 years after 3.

and who was the one who said there would be no vader so i it would suck?????

go look up the 7,8,9 plots. the "dark jedi" come and make a whole clone army of vaders. imagine 50 vaders flying around a screen in 10 years with advanced technology. im getting a hard on thinknig about it now.

actually ill include the link to be nice

ya i had something else to say but i forgot
 
sorry about the double post, im not trying to get more posts here or anything, but the chosen one i beleive is luke. At the end of 6 he is just beginnig to bring "balance to the force"

as someone said the "chosen one" cannot go to the dark side. Luke has another dark side scare in the 7,8,9 series i beleive. i didnt feel like readin them over so someone can confirm that.

vader just killed a bunch of jedi and then killed the remaining sith. To have a balance of the force wouldnt you still need the sith around. What type of balance would consist of there being no dark side whatsoever?? you need a balance of light and dark, correct?

in the new ones the balance comes i beleive, if anyone cares to read it and throw out there opinion please feel free
 
Star Wars wouldn't be Star Wars if Lucas didn't make them. He created the entire SW universe and SW legacy from nothing. Whom ever takes over has some pretty big shoes to fill and what an act to have to try and follow, man.

Daymmn....
