Wouldn't it be cool....If George Lucas made another movie that was in between the twoeras....not talking about the pre but talking about the years in between Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope...any comments???? ....I apologize if this has been a thread once before... May The Force Be with you....always!

I think the Force Unleashed should have been a movie instead of a game. There is definatly a lot of room for stories in the era. | ||||
| princessleia |
Yeah...that would definately be a movie worth watching....

Nah. That area is about wasted to death. The area he should make movies about is the Yuuzhan Vong thing. Think about. It isn't even a trilogy, because there are 25 books, so it won't mar any PT vs. OT shenanigans. Plus, it would be awesome. Oh, and the books practically are a movie in themselves. Traitor and the Unifying Force would be the ones i would want to see. | ||||

25 books? I smell TV show. |
||||
| Darth Samuel |
A TV show wouldn't be good. They could do like, 3-5 books a movies and have 5-8 movies. Each makes 400 million(Crystal Skull made that and it sucked compared to other Indy Jones Movies), that makes Star Wars the highest Grossing saga eve.r And probably will stay that way. |

In fact, you do smell a TV show. But it's not the one Sam wants, it's the one you want.
Unfortunately we won't be seeing it for awhile. They're still saying 2009/2010. But I'm betting on 2011 to keep with the 3 year cycle for big Star Wars premieres. 1999: The Phantom Menace 2002: Attack of the Clones 2005: Revenge of the Sith 2008: The Clone Wars 2011: Live Action TV Series ... 2022: Episode VII

I heard about that TV show last year but I blew it off as a rumor. Nive catch. |

Not as much as the Clone Wars. 
|

| Lord Vexen |
True dat...another one is the adventures of Ani and Obi before the Clone wars. |

From 1000 BBY to 44 BBY is still very unexplored(For those who don't believe 44 BBY, look up Stark Hyperspace War). Of course, no Sith vs. Jedi battles could happen. And it was a time of peace. So that area would be best left to a couple of one-off books/ new new essential chronology.
Yuuzhan Vong is largely explored(Except for some elements, including Vongerella), and would be perfect for a movie series. Huge Galactic war, only this one Isn't against weak droids, this one is against competent Yuuzhan Vong warriors. Plus, come on. Who hasn't wanted to see the Fall and the Liberation of Coruscant? Honestly, both would be cool(same with Ebaq 9 and Myrkr) |
||||
| Rive Caedo |
And I'm sure we're all just dying to see how long it took Obi-Wan to make Anakin stop yelling "Yippie!"

Honestly another movie is overkill. The TV shows will add up to 10+movies | ||||
| Rive Caedo |
Clone Wars alone (if we get the promised 100 episode minimum) will add up to over 36 hours of footage (note, I'm excluding commercial time).
They've been talking 100-400 episodes for the live action series (which will probably be one hour per episode rather than half-hour)... that means another 73 to 293 hours. So even if they only reach their minimum projections (100 each) - we're looking at over 100 hours of new Star Wars material. So 50+ movies, not 10+ |
||||
| Lord Embeion |
50+ makes 10+ correct still =p | ||||
| Rive Caedo |
I still win. My bid is the closest without going over. Er... 
But on the topic... if they did try to make a sequel trilogy 14 years from now in 2022 (placing it the same distance after the last prequel movie that the first prequel movie was after the last original movie)... I'd only count it as canon if John Williams composes the music - which I'm not sure if he'd be up to at the age of 90

The years inbetween ROTS and ANH are nice but it seems all the EU novel writers can't jump in at the oppertunitiy because Lucas reserved the era for himself. Greedy.
|
||||
| Rive Caedo |
Somewhat correct. There's been quite a few reports of George barring people from doing stuff with that era - even after RotS was released. But the Coruscant Nights trilogy of books being released right now (I still haven't finished reading the first one - gah!) is set in that era. | ||||
| Ga'nen |
Rive, are you doubting the powers of John Williams?! He will live forever, like every mighty sith should. | ||||
| Sirak Sazen |
I think the definative saga is over so movies are probably out. I'd love to see more EU things set in that time period and am really considering starting an RP forum set in that time period. | ||||

I'm looking forward to Paul S. Kemp's upcoming book featuring the Jedi Jaden Korr, set after the Legacy of the Force series. It seems they gave Kemp permission to really develop and flesh out the character. | ||||
| Anakin |
Yeah but does that deal with the whole subject of the Rebel Alliance? If so, then I would be surprised. 
|
||||
| Rive Caedo |
I hadn't heard about that. The description is rather odd! January 2010 -- Paperback: Untitled by Paul Kemp. This one sort of takes place during the Great Hyperspace War, and then.... well, you'll see. This is the one that involves Jaden Korr. Figure that out! It's odd because the Great Hyperspace War occurred over 5000 years before Jaden Korr was born. Probably has something to do with Sith spirits. I hope Kyle Katarn is deeply involved - it'd be hard for him not to be. Here's another interesting one: November 1, 2009 - Paperback: Untitled horror novel by Joe Schreiber takes place between A New Hope and The Empire Strikes Back and should be read under the covers by flashlight. Star Wars and horror rarely intertwine. Could be interesting to see what they do with it. |
||||
| Sirak Sazen |
There is definatlely huge potential for a Star Wars horror-themed novel. I really hope they can pull it off without making a total piece of crap out of a good idea. It's happened before (I'm talking to you, Jedi Apprentice). |
||||
| Darth Splinter |
Hey, calm down. Not everyone here knows how to do your fancy math.
|

| Darth Samuel |
If a Yuuzhan Vong movie series were as good as the OT(They can hire the same actors. They all at the right age, thereabouts.) it would be hugely profitable. Every Star Wars movie(Clone Wars doesn't count. IT wasn't marketed or sold as the others) has been a huge success at the Box Office. Plus, you know, The yuuzhan vong ones would bring a steady supply of fresh blood to the star wars world. | ||||
| Talen D'aar |
Yeah, that was explained on Kemp's blog. Apparently, there's a separate subplot or flashback type deal that takes place in the Hyperspace War. He says that by the end of the novel both plots will be intertwined, and hopefully if it works the way it should, will be really freakin' awesome. EDIT: Actual statement. He can probably explain it better. XD He also has some pretty good political stuff and sneak peeks of his upcoming book, Shadowrealm. |
||||
| Darth Samuel |
Apart from Spirits, it could have to do with stasis(The Vector comics that is set to wrap up one day before Christmas) | ||||
| Talen D'aar |
Yeah, too bad The Force Unleashed already explained the Rebel Alliance's origins. |
||||
| Rive Caedo |
It explains "the moment" where things really start coming together and they formally declare rebellion as the only option - but there's still plenty of stories to tell about the Empire stomping on people like Organa for 16 years

So many interesting prospects coming out, I'm not too fussed about whether there are anymore movies. I don't really like the idea of making more as it would ruin the feel, a little. | ||||
| Anakin |
Lucas is making sure that the Saga is complete for good but that the EU is going forward to explain the gaps. | ||||
