Someone had to start it...

Anyone over it yet? I've been burned out on it for a bit, but I've had the desire to watch Dark Jedi's 'Empire' anamorphic conversion lately...

I know someone from tf.n who named her hamster Star Wars. It ran away.

the books are goign strong right now. man i wish they would just turn some of the EU into a mini series. it would be so good, and if it were done as good as BSG would develop a huge following

It would have to be a cartoon, unless they did something like Tales of the Jedi and go way back to the Sith/Jedi wars. But it would be cool to see

I know; other than the films and whatever cannon he wants to do with the animated and televised series taking place between the films, there's so much that others have contributed to the SW universe. What would be awesome to see are stories that don't connect to the main characters GL created. At least we have the books, comics and video games for that, but it would be great to see those ideas visualized in a more commercial entertainment medium.

i dont think it would have to be a cartoon. but either would be great.

It would have to be animated if it involved anyone in the OT, otherwise, no, it wouldn't need to be animated. Something I'd like to see done is a film/miniseries of the Thrawn Trilogy.

hey well all the OT character would be the right age, and they wouldnt be the main characters.

HotRod · **Posted:** Wed Dec 06, 2006 12:20 pm

I think you'll find that the characters would about 20 years to old by now man.

Has anyone read the new book that just came out (I think?) It's about Darth Bane and the early days of the Sith and Jedi. I picked it up but have yet to read it - like so many others.

Other than SOTE I haven't had much experiance in EU, but I have been a huge SW fan since I was a kid, sometime in the late 80s or early 90s. SW is hands-down my favorite series of movies. And yes I do like the prequels, although obviously not as much as the OT.

Shimy · **Joined:** Sat Dec 02, 2006 6:36 am **Posts:** 48

yeah man the new books aregood, but i hate how much of a A**hole the authors are turning jacen into. man first they kill anakin, now they are turning his brother into an ass, and ben is a whiny POS, they are distroying the next generation of SW. Oh and dont get me started on Jaina, "i'm the sword of the jedi" solo

Didn't want to start a new thread for this, thought I'd just continue on in the SW thread

I just visited the Star Wars: Science & Imagination exhibition at OMSI and thought I'd share a few photos I took

There's plenty more where they came from if anyone would like to see some more...

Cassidy · **Posted:** Wed Jan 03, 2007 6:29 am

Hell yes post more. Those are sweet! If that show ever comes to Canada I'm all over it like Oprah on African orphans.

Does the Wampa 2.0 suit have an apology letter by GL on the display case? Because it should...

I figured some of you may enjoy this SW related item if you have not already seen it:

http://emuse.ebaumsworld.com/video/watch/14773

The site is safe for work as far as I can tell. So is the content.

Enjoy. I had a good laugh!

beckmen · **Posted:** Mon Mar 19, 2007 12:34 pm

Yeah, I found that a while back. There's something about it, I love it. Somebody needs to step uo and make an ESB edition.

Ebaums is a funny site. Who cares if he steals stuff?

PS: I miss Star Wars. With the prequels over and the 30th Anniversary being so lackluster (Is anything even happening? My local WM doesn't even carry the 30th Anni toys!) it's pretty bleak. GL is dragging his ass on the new shows, too.

great star was t-shirts

ThrowgnCpr · **Posted:** Sun May 20, 2007 9:04 pm

these are great shirts!! thanks for the post lewis. btw, how is that rise of the empire edit coming?

lewis886 · **Posted:** Sun May 20, 2007 9:10 pm

yeah, found a link to those shirts on theforce.net
funny stuff...

thanks for asking about the edit.
going well.... slowly....but good.....
am working on it right now in fact....
i work 2 jobs and don't always feel motivated
to work on it when i get home.. but the past week
i've been working on it quite a bit. was frustrated
with some things having to do with rendering
and such, and i took a break from it for a while,
but i'm back on the job now

ThrowgnCpr · **Posted:** Tue May 22, 2007 10:16 pm

cool lewis. looking forward to seeing it when its done. I know how things get busy. I am super busy with work right now, and can only jump on line every couple of days. I havent been able to do much with some of the projects I am working on

beckmen · **Posted:** Wed May 23, 2007 9:13 am

There isn't enough going on for the 30th Anniversary. Where is the new DVD boxset? And why does my local Wal-Mart refuse to stock more than TWO of the new Hasbro figs? Pish-posh!

GyRo567 · **Posted:** Wed May 23, 2007 2:36 pm

I know, there's nothing going on! =(

I wanted a 6 DVD set - hopefully (FINALLY) with EVERY cut all released once and for all in full restoration. Instead we got a few stamps and R2-D2 mailbox covers in select cities...?_?...

In any case, when I saw that Lucas wasn't going to do anything, I took matters into my own hands. I recently purchased every single release of the theatrical Star Wars Trilogy on VHS (in both full & wide screen for each release) and I plan on sequentially (chronologically by release date) watching every version of the theatrical Star Wars (the movie, not the trilogy) on May 25, 2007.

It's odd how the image quality actually goes down on each consecutive release (discounting VHS wear over time - the originals are from 1984, unless I'm mistaken) until the 1995 THX VHS release. These days, with digital technology, every release gets better and better in terms of image quality - assuming it's not marred by rushed CGI or poor color correction.

I forget where I was going with this, but to answer the topic title, I would definitely have to say that I am NOT "over" Star Wars. The Empire Strikes Back is and forever will be my favorite movie, in a permanent tie with The Great Escape.

i saw this. is this actually going to happen? it could be awesome. one of the biggest fan projects i have ever seen (if lucas doesnt smash it)

lewis886 · **Posted:** Sat May 26, 2007 4:06 pm

i haven't been able to figure out if it's a fan project or not.... go watch the trailer on youtube.

ThrowgnCpr · **Posted:** Sat May 26, 2007 4:12 pm

i saw it. pretty cool. my guess is that it is a fan project, although i am not sure about it. did you see the thread over at OT dot com?

lewis886 · **Posted:** Sat May 26, 2007 4:17 pm

nope, i'm never on ot. what did they say?

it looks pretty good, technically speaking, and it did pop up on may 25, 30th anniv. and the big day of Celebration IV... a day in which there was supposed to be some huge star wars announcement made (which i haven't found). so i think it's possible it could be official... but either way it looks cool.

are they saying anything about the "announcement" over there? there was a huge buzz about the announcement of another star wars movie or something coming up yesterday... but then nothing further was said....
