His bastardization of Star Wars negates any charity.

I don't see this as bad, especially if Brad Bird gets to direct the next one.

ThePerm · « **Reply #104 on:** November 06, 2012, 03:35:36 PM »

I nominate Seth Green

can you imagine Mark Hamill Training young Jedi?

Also, a side note - Why has Star Wars catered to children all of the sudden? Money is a good answer, but seriously. My favorite movie (granted I've only see two and the Clone Wars series) is Empire Strike Backs. There is a **** ton of killing and force choking and hand chopping in that movie. If it were made today, I bet you it would be brutal.

I don't care what they do with the series, but I wouldn't mind seeing some violence and actual cold-blooded chess play for the galaxy.

That is why my favorite space opera is Legend of the Galactic Heroes after all, and that didn't even have Jedis.

There is an article I read on another forum, says all three are already agreed to do it since Lucas is not directly involved.

haha they should get George R. R. Martin to write

I think the template to look at is the original STAR WARS. It doesn't cater to kids, at least not exclusively, but it doesn't exclude them either. That movie is for everyone and it's great. Give me that for Episode VII and I'll be thrilled.

More importanly is how the Original Star Wars hooked kids into lucrative long term investments.

Oh absolutely. That too.

I doubt lucas is gone completely, more then likely he will serve as an advisor, i imagine he will have a similar role in production to what he had in empire. Anyway i say the story should be based on the Thrawn Trilogy but with some cinematic modifications.

toddra · « **Reply #112 on:** November 07, 2012, 08:54:42 AM »

They already said it will not be Thrawn trilogy, but something original. They said it is based on a treatment Lucas did a long time ago.

TrueNerd · « **Reply #113 on:** November 07, 2012, 01:17:30 PM »

Lucas has said that he's only gonna be a "creative consultant." What that means, who knows. However, he won't be as involved with Episode VII as he was with EMPIRE where he babysat the whole thing. He's retiring.

toddra · « **Reply #114 on:** November 07, 2012, 03:21:45 PM »

I would like to see a collaboration of true fans/nerds working on this, from Kevin Smith, JJ Abrams, Seth Green, and it should start Shia Lebouf and the chick from Kick Ass, um Hit Girl not the girl friend.

Now you got me excited for another round of Robot Chicken Star Wars, come on Seth make it happen.

BranDonk Kong · « **Reply #117 on:** November 07, 2012, 09:20:08 PM »

It's gonna be three new Christmas specials.

TrueNerd · « **Reply #118 on:** November 08, 2012, 08:05:33 PM »

Kevin Smith has sucked for at least fifteen years. He won't be allowed anywhere near this.

Dogma would like to bitch-slap you. It came out in 1999 and is great, Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back (from 2001) is also good). He's only made 6 movies in the last 10 years though.

TrueNerd · « **Reply #120 on:** November 08, 2012, 10:13:03 PM »

Yeah, I meant everything since DOGMA. CLERKS 2 is actually not awful, I forgot about that one. Either way, not even Smith's good movies suggest he could or should be involved with a Star Wars movie.

ThePerm · « **Reply #121 on:** November 09, 2012, 12:10:39 AM »

i think he should play an alien in a bar scene

You are missing the point of his movies then, his movies are made for nerds, plain and simple. he tackles relationships and stuff but mostly he just makes movies about nerds trying to look like normal people. He deep down is a huge Star Wars fan and has made some decent action movies so I think he could handle Star Wars and take it seriously.

Not that he would be involved chances are Disney wouldn't even approach him.

re: Kevin Smith films:

Red State was quite good, I thought.
I think Dogma is excellent. Probably his best (but there are a few I haven't seen, like Chasing Amy which many regard as Smith's best).

TJ Spyke · « **Reply #124 on:** November 09, 2012, 12:10:10 PM »

I haven't seen Chasing Amy in a few years, but I remember liking it. I haven't seen Red State yet
