Star Wars Megathread Ep 1: The Though Out Menace (AKA The Phantom OP) - General

Everybody in Clone Wars has a funny chin

Do you reckon there will be a new triology around 2019? 20 year break between the trilogies as was done with the prequel trilogy Although George Lucas will probably have passed away by then,sadly. Also, what was so bad about the Phantom Menace? I know they relied heavily on CGI but I loved being back in Mos Eisly and the pod racing. I guess General Grievous was shit because he had no connection to the force?

I still believe Jerec is one of the most badass Sith in the entire Star Wars universe.

I still can't get over it. This is a sith, right? Aren't they supposed to have EXTREMELY FAST reflexes? LOOK HOW MUCH FUCKING TIME HE HAD TO KILL HIM. (Hell, he looks at him the entire time he jumps over his head.) [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yga55Prk9D0[/media][/QUOTE] Well, he was a Zaberak iirc but he's affiliated with the sith so idk

We better not get this mess :v: [img]http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20070811133815/starwars/images/thumb/8/84/Visionaries_Darth_Maul.jpg/236px-Visionaries_Darth_Maul.jpg[/img]

Honestly the two latest season of Clone Wars have not been that bad. Way better then the ones before it. (other then this seasons Gungan Episode, but then again its the Gungans, they ruin everything) [editline]13th October 2011[/editline] Seems like as of last weeks episode most of the Clones have switched to the Episode 3 armour (they are slowly transitioning, some clones still used the EP2 armour, mostly the named clones and pilots)

Here's a pretty well made fan-trailer for a Star Wars novel about zombies. [video=youtube;U-ZqAymW7S4]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U-ZqAymW7S4[/video]

Well done, but it was so very not Star Wars.

[QUOTE=quinaking;32756463]what[/QUOTE] From what I've heard, in the Star War novels Darth Maul survives both being sliced in half & the fall, & the bottom of his body is replaced with robotics in the same way that Grievous is part living & part machine.

So, promotional material finally arises [IMG]http://i55.tinypic.com/2ir5ity.jpg[/IMG] Looks amateurish

EPII and III were shot on Sony's F900 and 950 which means they're 1080p not film, so with any luck Lucas won't try to remaster the shit out of them.

I'll be going to see it anyway, only seen episode 3 in cinema :(

I'm going to become a director just so I can save this franchise. Life of a conscripted TIE fighter pilot who eases into insubordination. This won't have the happiest of endings. Also, sparingly utilized CG and sets! Sets made of MATTER!

I have a feeling when George Lucas passes away somebody else will remake the original trilogy with "KOOL FX"

[QUOTE=Mr._N;32781786]So, a gritty reboot.[/QUOTE] No children. No comic relief. No jar jar. But maybe Gungans portrayed in a better light (I'll find a way). No magic lightsabers that cauterize people's halves together upon exiting. It won't be Inglourious Basterds, though. More like Drive mixed with District 9 and the better parts of the new trilogy. I'd say a heavy PG-13 rating, no crazy gore and brutal violence. And skeligandrew, I'll bet forty rubles Lucas puts "Don't fuck with my [b]ART[/b]" in his will.

Han shoots first, no CG walkie-talkies, and no censored smoke clouds when people get shot. Oh, and Lando's Cloud City announcement gets scrapped.

I mean, compare this shitpile to the original 1970s posters.

[QUOTE=Generic.Monk;32786947]wow, that's like the definition of comic book logic that's like finding a way to bring the emperor back from falling into the exploding death star, though even george lucas didn't stoop that low[/QUOTE] Star Wars extended universe did, though. [quote=wikipedia] In the series, set six years after Return of the Jedi, Palpatine is resurrected as the Emperor Reborn or Palpatine the Undying. His spirit returns from the underworld of the Force with the aid of Sith ghosts on Korriban and possesses the body of Jeng Droga, one of Palpatine's elite spies and assassins known as the Emperor's Hands.[/quote]

[QUOTE=Chrille;32787065]Star Wars extended universe did, though.[/QUOTE] Actually Maul was brought back in a non cannon (but still official I believe) comic book where he tries to kill a young Luke and Ben kicks the shit out of him. Funny because at the time it was non cannon and was he was confirmed dead. More lore rape hooray!

[QUOTE=Neat!;32783340]No magic lightsabers that cauterize people's halves together upon exiting.[/QUOTE] How is it magic? the Lightsaber is so hot it burns the wound shut as it goes through?
