STAR WARS, INDY , HOWARD THE DUCK DEUCE; AND MORE

[Abraham Smashington]

I could see that, maybe.

I don't like all of these "Shadows of the Empire" like ideas though. The universe is not this fucking small. CHANGE IT UP and give me a goddamn KOTOR movie.

Pass. More prequels need, we do not.

The thing that's great about those Han Solo novels:

- They get the character of Han Solo absolutely correct. He's in full-on smuggler mode, like in STAR WARS.
- They don't take place in the Empire, they take place in the Corporate Sector and the Tion Hegemony. You've got entirely new situations completely divorced from the standard US VS THE EMPIRE crap.
- The supporting characters are all great. I can see a lot of really cool actors vying for the part of Gallandro.
- They're fun, fast paced, and have great feelings of adventure.

Just do 'em.

[Abraham Smashington]

That I agree with, but I'd rather have new characters, new movies, etc. that aren't necessarily tied to anything that exists already.

NO MORE ORIGINAL TRILOGY UNIVERSE NONSENSE NEW SHIT THX

Probably just me, but I have no interest in spin-off Star Wars character flicks. The post-ROTJ trilogy, yeah, I'm there. A 1313 flick? Color me intrigued.

I'm just saying there's SO much stuff (books, Wookiepedia entries, etc.) that pretty much fill in all the gaps as to what these characters were doing in between flicks. Why waste time and money going over that stuff when there's an opportunity to go in entirely new directions with the franchise? I mean, if they HAVE to do a Yoda or Han Solo solo (sorry) story, save it for the supposed Star Wars live action TV show, or do an animated series akin to Clone Wars.

Fuck this going back in time shit - long past time we start going forward for awhile. New characters, new ships, new menaces, etc. The 1313 theme sounds terrific - totally different stuff yet takes place in the same universe.

"Rumor mill" says John Noble is the baddie.

*yawn*

Seriously, really unimaginative moves so far from Disney.

[Timothy225]

I remember hearing something about Matthew Vaughn's idea of getting Chloe Moretz as the lead for his take on a new trilogy - good idea! Center the next trilogy around a female lead, and Moretz looks like she could be related to Mark Hamil's Luke Skywalker (make her his granddaughter, a Jedi padawan), have her team-up with one of the Solo kids or their offspring. Shit, Lando must have a kid or two by now, right? Throw in a Wookie or another alien, maybe a droid (a new character - I can live without R2D2 and C3P0 unless it's a cameo or something), and there's your group of heroes.

Then have 'em fight some space pirates or mercs from what's left of the Empire, or the rise of a new Sith Lord (Lady? C'mon - need more women in these films kicking ass and taking names!) or Sith army.

[Ben Thomas]

Actually, C-3PO and R2D2 are the only characters I wouldn't mind having back along for the ride. I like that they're as close as there is to a constant throughout the series.

[Matt]

I just want there to be another iconic spaceship like the Millennium Falcon. Something that you look at and go FUCK YEAH, THAT'S BADASS and has some real character to it.
