I get the issue with the force. I dont have as big a issue because I think it had to be explained because of the Expanded Universe. It was known before Ep 1 that children were identified at a you age and taken to the temple.

So much was left open to interpretation and unanswered with the first trilogy. My issue was the horrible dialogue. And the fact that in such an advanced culture and society they apparently never heard of teen grief consolers.

WE'RE GETTING THE BAND BACK TOGETHER

And another thing I’d want to make sure of is are we going to have the whole gang back? Is Carrie and Harrison and Billy Dee and Tony Daniels, everybody that’s around from the original [returning]? I want to make sure that everybody’s on board here, rather than just one.

Well he left BIOWARE back in February of last year to work on "screenwriting" and it seems that BIOWARE is a hot bed of rumor regarding the notion that Drew Karpyshyn is working up a screenplay for a film version of KNIGHTS OF THE OLD REPUBLIC. Is this true? Or just the idle gossip of hard working game designers at BIOWARE? I've reached out to Drew Karpyshyn and as of this posting I've yet to hear back.

For nearly 23 years, ANYONE could be a Jedi. And Lucas screwed that over with one stupid ****ing idea.

But in the original trilogy, they also said that some were strong in the force, showing that some people were more connected to it and likely to wield it. That being said, the Midichlorians idea was still terrible as it became too easily measurable.

It's tough to get lipo when your skin is sagging 3 inches.

I'm sure that Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher will have a weight requirement to meet, for sure. Whether or not they have elective surgery is up to them.

But IMO, it wouldn't hurt.

I don't know.....maybe they will have small roles, but it just sounds like a bad idea. I mean, there's a reason Hamill and Fisher never became big like Ford did. They can't act and don't have much charisma.

Well, Carrie Fisher could have been a huge movie star but she was born with the same addiction issues as her parents. She was an alcoholic and coke freak. When you're in Star Wars, there's no price tag on blow.

As for Hamill, he was short and lacking in physical stature. He wasn't really a guy you could create a TV show around, nor was he a "movie star" outside of Star Wars. He could have been a very good character actor but it would have been difficult for him to break free from the Star Wars stigma.

So, he did the next best thing and became a voice actor. And a successful one at that. But most of those guys have a vocal booth and media room in their homes, so physical appearance isn't exactly the first thing on their minds because they're never seen.

Plus, he's old.

As far as Star Wars, no one else should be playing Luke.

I think Mark will do a great job.

Don't give a shit about anything else. Always liked him as Luke.

It worked because we were supposed to suspend real life and believe that people are actually living in a computer generated world.

But I'm with you: Unless there have been some advances in the past two years (and they may have been - I certainly wouldn't rule it out), that's a tough sell to a Star Wars audience that's already tired of too much CGI.

Deberg_1990 03-08-2013 04:16 PM

That movie was probably the first thing that made me kind of understand why everyone was grumbling about 'malaise' and the economy in general. Saw ir first run at Crest Drive-in [back when drive-ins got movies on the same schedule as theaters]. Right before that, pops had topped off the gas tank to the tune of $1.39@gallon.

Then in the movie, they stop at a gas station, and the sign out front clearly shows $.29@gallon.

Want to know just why this edit is taking so long? Well below is an example of one of the many rotoscoping shots i have had to do. If i want to replace the background in a scene then i manually have to cut out all the foreground objects frame by frame.

Now you can see that each section has dots, which have to be moved for each frame along the outline of the object .Most of the time each dot has to be moved individually to match the motion. When you consider that this shot is 11 second long @25fps then just one dot has to be moved accurately 275 times. now multiply that by the amount of dots in the composition and , well you do the math.

You also have to go back and review the whole footage, making small changes to position if one or many of the points are out of position and either allowing the original background to appear or that they may be chopping off a small portion of the object you want to keep. Now this shit as i have said was 11 seconds long. This took me just over 2 months to complete. And when you consider that in Luke's Bespin rescue scene alone there are 18 rotoscoping shots, well it all adds up

For a long time I have wanted a fully explorable, open-world Star Wars game who's main plotline takes you through the original trilogy as several of the main characters.

Would be badass as ****.

Imagine getting to play the Death Star mission as Luke and then replay it as Han Solo.

You could expand the plot and have Han run into an Imperial convoy or something on his way home from Yavin IV, and he has to fight his way out and decides to turn around and help the Rebels.

Then you get to fly back and blow up TIE Fighters in the trench.

J.W. Rinzler (The Making of The Empire Strikes Back) and Mike Mayhew (perennial Best Art Ever This Week favorite) are teaming to adapt the original draft by George Lucas for what would become A New Hope, which features a six-foot lizard Han Solo and Annikin Starkiller, as Dark Horse Comics limited series.

From Dark Horse's official press release:

Three years before his 1977 film, George Lucas put down on paper his first story set in a galaxy far, far away-a tale of fantastic adventures, daring escapes, "lazer swords," romance, and monsters. A story of Jedi Annikin Starkiller and General Luke Skywalker, an alien named Han Solo, and evil Sith Knights. The screenplay was titled The Star Wars!

Slated for a September release, the eight-issue mini-series may be among the final Dark Horse-published Star Wars comics, as the rights will revert back to Disney, and subsequently, Marvel after 2013.

Now any gaming company can license the IP and produce a game. I'd like to see Bethesda take a shot at an open world Star Wars RPG.

Old Republic?

The LucasArts thing won't really change much. As I understand it they're just basically getting rid of the inhouse development. Which hadn't been much anyway. Everything good had been licensed to outside studios.

I can't think of a worse idea than a Bethesda star wars game.

that's because you whine about everything bethesda does.

Truth is they make fantastic, entertaining, engrossing games. I can't remember the last Star Wars game that could be described as such. Shit like SW: Battlefield was the gaming equivalent of McDonalds, and Force Unleashed was a gay button masher who's best parts were the cutscenes.

1313 looked like it was going to be but it got nuked.
