Rumour: George Lucas to kill the original trilogy completely.

[QUOTE=woolio1;34682312]And you know what's funny about this?
He's using Time Travel to do it. And, to recap, what do we know about time travel and, more specifically, going back in time and then back to your original time?
If you go back in time, change an event, and go back to your original time, you've not changed the outcome at all. Simply split a universe in two. Darth Vader would still exist, as would loving dad Anakin Skywalker. They'd be completely separate, and both canon, because both would exist in two entirely different universes.
So this wouldn't kill the original trilogy, simply create a fork in the universe in which both outcomes are canon.[/QUOTE]
That's just a theory though. We don't know what would happen.
Oh well, whatever happens, happens. I'll still have my old original trilogy VHS tapes and nobody can take them from me.
YOU HEAR ME GEORGE, I'LL HAVE THE LAST LAUGH YOU GREASY FUCK
Seems like a rather silly idea. Even now, I really doubt Lucas would think of doing that.
And even if it did, my years from being a geek on the Star Wars Expanded Universe means I'm familar enough with the matter of story canonicity that this show would easily be considered as another alternate universe story, no biggie.
I never liked Star Wars like most did.
Well this is fine. I've got my originals, prequels, and now I get to see more stuff in the form of the alternates. I like it.
Well George Lucas can fuck right off.
Isn't this what they did with the new Star Wars movie?
Weird how he turned into a shit movie maker in the latest years after making amazing films
I mean whats going on?
[QUOTE=Kendra;34681587]I wonder how that'd work because of how distrustful the council is of Anakin and how Yoda is like the only one that could perhaps beat Palpatine.[/QUOTE]
No Mace Windu was about to kill him but then Anakin interfered
[QUOTE=Shocky;34681056]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]
This is the exact same attitude that got us Phantom Menace.

[QUOTE=Black;34683766]Weird how he turned into a shit movie maker in the latest years after making amazing films
I mean whats going on?[/QUOTE]He was given pretty much complete creative control. With the original trilogy, he actually didn't have a massive amount of creative control and had a lot of people keeping him in check.
[QUOTE=Odellus;34682472]that's cool and everything, but it really doesn't matter and you shouldn't care[/QUOTE]
I know, I'm gonna go into a thread and tell everyone that whatever they're talking about doesn't actually matter, because that is definitely a good idea
right
What series was more ruined? Star Wars or Resident Evil?
Well on the bright side, even if George killed the timeline of the original trilogy, we would still have the Yuzhan Vong War and maybe Darth Krayt taking over the Universe. That's pretty cool right?

Basically, he made the originals with loads of people helping him from going batshit with it and then some dudes were all like "hey he's really good with this" and took away the people helping because they figured it was all just him.
The prequels were the result.
Let him release all the new bullshit he wants, but he can never actually tarnish the original trilogy itself. We'll all have our own copies of the true original format of the trilogy in our homes either on VHS or older DVDs to enjoy the right way. Just ignore any of the crap Lucas decides to release if you don't want to include it in the Star Wars series.

Star Wars because at least the terrible movies are noncanon in Resident Evil. And while Resident Evil 5 wasn't the picture of quality, its pretty miniscule in comparison to the others. You can ultimately forgive Resident Evil 5. Nothing makes Phantom Menace forgivable.
I've got the original trilogy on VHS, haven't got a working video player though :(
I'm just waiting for the news article on him complaining about the amount of people pirating the films when they stop selling the DVDs.
"Hmm. I don't want to make Episode 7."
"Let's go back and change the old amazing plot so I have something new to create."

The phantom menace isn't THAT bad.
He takes the J.J. Abrams way out, retcons the whole thing and remakes it. :v:

It is the worst star wars movie.
[QUOTE=Habsburg;34684838]It is the worst star wars movie.[/QUOTE]
The picnic scene on The Attack of the Clones is a serious contender. Holy fuck, it was horribly cheesy.
screw you Lucas I'm going to go grab my glasses and watch my vhs copies of The Original Trilogy.
I used to love Starwars but I'm sick of it. I'm tired of seeing all the toys and games and movies and board games, and valentines day candy, and Christmas cards and all the other bullshit with STAR WARS shit all over it.
Why the hell has the Lego isle been stocking Starwars Legos perpetually? The last movie was in theaters years ago. "Episode 1 [i]in 3D![/i]" Doesn't count. Even that Cartoon Network Starwars is annoying because it's so milked.
Any possible way to milk more money out of toys or the brand name will be done with prejudice.
With normal movies like Shriek, or Wall-E, or Monsters Inc will grow out of the style eventually and you'll stop seeing them on the shelves. Like Pixar's Cars. That movie is really popular and there are SO MANY toys and blankets and food snacks with Cars on it but in a years time most of those will be off the shelf.
Starwars is a constant and it's just so annoying that you can find something Starwars related in every, single, aisle of the store. Market? Starwars Mac and Cheese! Toys? Forget about it, masks, blasters, legos, figurines, OPERATION and even Starwars toys for 1 year old +
What about bedding? Blankets, pillows, lamps etc. Plastics? Containers, jars, glasses. Clothing? Shirts, Jackets, Pants, Underwear. Stationary? Notepads, planners and calendars etc. I could go on all night.
LOOK AT THIS SHIT

Attack of the Clones is the worst simply for that bit where that chick eats a pear with a knife and fork.
Seriously, who the fuck does that?
Anyone remember Shadows of the Empire? Either the book, game or comic?
maybe the bounty hunters should go back in time and stop lucas from making the prequels.

Not everything about the prequels are bad. Wouldn't have gotten 3 solid scores from Williams, Republic Commando, or Battlefront without the prequels being made.
The original toys were like a byproduct of the movies.
Like the movies came out and after a few months when the movies turned out to be really popular you started seeing figures and toys and stuff. Now they're vintage, rare and valuable.
But they are just FLOODING the market with Starwars. In 50-60 years none of this shit is going to be worth the plastic it's made of.
Before Episode 1-3 even released you could get the toys on the shelf. You could figure out all the characters name and their back story by buying the figures at Toys R Us and reading the package before they even opened the movie in theaters.
