Star Wars needs to reinvent itself one of these days. Not saying this is it at all but the franchise is beyond stale.
Existing Star Wars fans would care about it.

Either way, you watch pro wrestling. Your opinion is immediately discarded.

Existing Star Wars fans, a crew of people that is slowly dying off with every passing year much like the Prowres scene.

I'm a star wars fan but I would be lying if I said I would be super excited about a new movie coming down the pipe in the existing universe. The big interesting story has already been told and run into the ground.

C-3PO was always the annoying (supposed to be) comical-relief.
Was he intended to sell to kids? Thats your call.
I always assumed that the Ewoks were the sell out to get more kids interested.
Than later on, the abomination that we know as Jar-Jar Binks.

I was looking forward the live action "smallville" like project that as yet to be made and probably never will be. Rumored to be based around the teen/young adult life of Bobba Fett.

I think the Skywalker has been told, no need to go back and add a bunch of crap in between. There is so much to the Star Wars universe that is so cool and could told in so many different ways.
What I think would be cool to see:
-Expansions to the SW LEGO franchise
-A story about the invention of the Lightsabre
-Anything Bounty Hunter involved
-Something during the reign of Darth Malak

Would a movie with a young Han Solo be cool?
It would pretty much be a dude that gets into trouble and shoots a blaster, but it would creatures and vehicles from SW.

The timeline of the movies is done. It's been done for a long time. No kid Fett, no young Han Solo, no f*cking Clone Wars!

It's time to either jump ahead several dozen years, or go waaaay back to the KOTOR period.

Ugh. Sounds interesting.

I wonder if he's gonna end up as Boba Fett at the end of the series? I WONDER.

probably not, at the end of the last season you find out the Bobba you've watched the whole time is really a clone of the clone and dies. LOL


Agreed with Peanut KOTOT expansions (not just the game) would be neat.

I absolutely loved the original Clone Wars cartoon. It was my favorite thing to come out of the prequel era. It gave me exactly what I wanted. Jedi's showing us exactly how awesome they could/should be. I've watched a little of the new show and it's alright for what it is but I haven't been impressed.

So did I, and I actually really like the new one their doing, but in terms of new direction for the franchise, they need to get away from all of that. In the futures of course, I still want to see more episodes of the current Clone Wars.

Well I plan on picking up season 1 on blu-ray soon so I'm hoping I'll like it more as a whole then I did only watching a couple random episodes. Heck, I've watched both the Ewoks and Droid cartoons, so I'm willing to give anything Star Wars a fair chance before passing judgment.

I agree, I liked what I saw of the new Clone Wars show but missed most of the episodes and never felt overly compelled to jump back in after that. For me at this point it's easier to watch shows I like on DVD. I almost never catch anything when it's actually on.

Lucas obviously just wants to make more money at this point. He's made questionable decisions like this before. I'm not a Star Wars fan so I couldn't care less but it cracks me up he's still milking his own franchise when he doesn't need anymore money. He also refuses to accept that people hate Jar Jar Binks.

KOTOR is the only thing to come out of Star Wars I really enjoyed. In fact the games are the only thing about Star Wars I like. Those keep coming out and I keep enjoying most of them so as long as they keep that up Lucas can make whatever the hell else he wants.
