Slowpokeking Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 I don't think post ROTJ is a good idea because not many people could accept recast of the big 3. The Great Sith War is the best I could think about, KOTOR is also awesome but not that epic. TOR's canon story has not been done yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roechacca Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 They could squeeze 10 more movies out of the clone wars. But then I'd have to wait 9 of those for Anakin to be able to act. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GymQuirk Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 What you could have is an enraged Sith Lord use black-hole creating superweapon and send himself and an aged Luke (post Fate of the Jedi) back in time to some time before Episode 1, creating an alternate timeline, and then destroy Tatooine... No wait. We've seen this before, haven't we? Gym "And this would also screw up the Legacy Comics too...Hrm..." Quirk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolfninjajedi Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Its Episode 7, so more then likely its gonna take place Post_ROTJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cross_Fade Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 I hope they keep up with it after ROTJ But also make separate movies, like a few about Revan, TOR. Really there's a lot of possibilities Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoonerJBD Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 No question for me that they need to do a new trilogy focusing on the rise and fall of Darth Caedus. Too much of the EU stuff doesn't translate to screen very well and is too over-complicated. And no matter what they do, they will have to alter the story pretty significantly. But Darth Caedus' rise and fall gives you the Solos and Luke Skywalker and their klds. It gives you Mara Jade and Kyle Katarn and Kyp Durron. And I think it is the best story to tell that has the same feel as the original trilogy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slowpokeking Posted October 30, 2012 Author Share Posted October 30, 2012 (edited) I imagine they would consider un-retiring if they were offered the sort of money such a movie would bring them. They haven't done movies and keep good shape(compare to movie actors) for a long while. Let them return to the screen would simply ruin their heroic old images.

Cial Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 (edited) NJO or TOR Yuuzhan Vong vs Jedis or Jedi vs Sith . Both would make excellent screen spectacle. Edited October 30, 2012 by Cial Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure that the entire cast (still living, anyway) would be all for a few "pass-the-torch" cameos. Even Harrison Ford just recently started to attend conventions.

You couldn't make the original actors work for the Thrawn Trilogy, but you could for Darth Caedus. Luke and Leia and Han aren't the main characters. I think they can make Mark Hamill look like a presentable older Luke Skywalker and put Carrie Fisher on a diet long enough for a bit of screen time.

We don't have to worry about new actors at all. The Great Sith War, KOTOR1&2 are far more epic than Darth Caedus' tale. As Jacen he is cool but as a villain he failed too quickly.

They're going to build onto the established, mainstream and widely-known (and proven profitable) timeframe before taking a risk on anything else.

Cross_Fade Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 To add onto my other post, I would like to see a new movie on the Sith's perspective. This is why I think it would be good to have a Revan movie(s) where we can see the Jedi and Sith, and how one person goes through the light and the dark side of the force.

This isn't about what the events that follow RotJ are - as long as the events follow RotJ. It's the connection that matters, the continuation - not the content.

That is the problem, a lot of wars and events happened from ROTJ to Jacen became Darth Cadeus, there is not enough room to explain, such as Mara Jade, she made her first appearance in the Thrawn Trilogy and you cannot just let people know her well without a lot of explanation which the movie didn't have time and space to do so. Also people would not want to see so much conflicts after such a massive battle in RotJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
