[QUOTE=Ordigenius;34680847]But he's retired[/QUOTE] Yea and hes not dead yet.
Lucas is actually Peter Chimaera in disguise. He's been trolling us all along.
[QUOTE=Drsalvador;34680712]Expect Mr. Lucas to be assassinated by a neckbeard with a sniper rifle if this happens.[/QUOTE] Or a fat kid with a toy light saber
[QUOTE=Dog_Of_War;34680587]I don't see why this is a big deal, or a bad thing at all. I think a separate "what-if" kind of show would be cool. A lot of Star Wars fans just hate George Lucas and love to cry and bitch about everything.[/QUOTE] It's not a "what-if" scenario, Lucas is trying his damn hardest to establish it as canon because he deeply hates the original trilogy, largely because he barely had any say over the story direction and it was praised more then any of his pet projects in the Star Wars Universe. He's basically a two-bit writer who accidentally made a masterpiece, and is absolutely livid people are using the setting for great movies as opposed to his fan-fiction.
Wow, next you're going to tell me they're gonna blow up Romulus or something.
[QUOTE=Ordigenius;34680847]But he's retired[/QUOTE] psst you misspelled 'retarded'
I don't get what the problem is? He wants to try something different so let him try something different. I'll only base whatever opinion I have on the finished product.
[QUOTE=Mingebox;34680954]Wow, next you're going to tell me they're gonna blow up Romulus or something.[/QUOTE] Funny you should mention that, because I was actually going to use it as an example. It seems to me that George Lucas is planning the same sort of alternate reality reboot that JJ Abrams did with Star Trek. And hell, I really liked what JJ did. It worked, IMO.
I would love it if this is true but the bounty hunters are like Team Rocket and fuck everything up, leaving the original movies alone completely.
I don't even like Star Wars and I think this is a terrible idea!
LEGO'll be pissed they'll have to stop selling original trilogy stuff.
SW is overrated, fine, i can get with that but its still really awesome, you haters need to shut your damn whore mouths
[quote]So Anakin doesn't become Vader. He raises his twins, Luke and Leia, in a loving (if whiny) household. THE EVENTS OF THE ORIGINAL TRILOGY NEVER HAPPEN.[/quote] I can't help but imagine it would just be some terrible sitcom when they say it like that.
Wait isn't this a good thing? The original trilogy would finally be detached from the stuff nobody wants it to be associated with. George Lucas won't be fucking with it anymore.
Yeah, no problem with this. It's not like the original trilogy would just disappear.
We can't cover up a vent hole on the Death Star but we can build time-travelling devices v:v:v
[QUOTE=mscmn;34681296]I can't help but imagine it would just be some terrible sitcom when they say it like that.[/QUOTE] So wait what happens to Palpatine? Does he just become Anakin's asshole neighbor or something?

Lucas is actually a pretty shit writer and actually pretty fucking crazy. The original trilogy would have been horrifying if there had not been basically a team of people pretty much dedicated to keeping George Lucas from being too "George Lucas".
eh sure why not.
[QUOTE=Aredbomb;34681343]So wait what happens to Palpatine? Does he just become Anakin's asshole neighbor or something?[/QUOTE] That would be great, I'd love to watch him yell at Luke and Leia to get off his lawn

[QUOTE=Aredbomb;34681343]So wait what happens to Palpatine? Does he just become Anakin's asshole neighbor or something?[/QUOTE] Presumably Anakin would just tell the Jedi council that Palpatines a dick and they'd kill him.
I don't get why this matters it's a television series "what if" it doesn't affect the films in any way obviously
[QUOTE=Odellus;34681414]I don't get why this matters it's a television series "what if" it doesn't affect the films in any way obviously[/QUOTE] Nobody cares about that, it's just showing how much of a dick George is.
He'd sooner kill episode 4 5 and 6 movies than the original trilogy.
Man, the fanboys are getting pissy about this even before they've said if its going to happen or not.
[QUOTE=JamesRaynor;34681456]He'd sooner kill episode 4 5 and 6 movies than the original trilogy.[/QUOTE]Episodes 4,5, and 6 are the original trilogy. And the ones he absolutely despises and wants gone.

[QUOTE=Odellus;34681414]I don't get why this matters it's a television series "what if" it doesn't affect the films in any way obviously[/QUOTE] Well no, the whole point is that Lucas wants it to be the established timeline in the Star Wars universe and that Lucas is a moron who shouldn't be allowed to make anything more complicated than a slice of toast
