Star Wars: Good Series or Overrated by Society?

[C Of K]

Alright! Two new visitors to the Star Wars Sub Forums!
Welcome Harleyquin, and Mary Hoffman!

I think the new trilogy could have used a few more scoundrel characters like Han and Lando.

All hail wookieepedia!

Yes all hail Wookieepedia. Great place that.

And by the way, Wedge Antilles was played by Dennis Lawson, Euan McGregor's uncle. He later turned up as a doctor on UK television's not great medical soap, Holby City. He was an alcoholic consulktant with a bouffant hairdo - hilarious!

Mary

Thats kinda cool, the guy playing Wedge being Euan McGregor's uncle. You could say Star Wars flies in the family...(somebody slap me now that was so lame)

 

[C Of K]

(somebody slap me now that was so lame)

Yes, but it had to be said. You are a far wiser man than I, and I foresee you will be a great jedi knight.

Wedge and Biggs were acting as Luke's human shields in the death star trench run at Yavin.

I always thought it was sad when Biggs died. Here's YouTube - Biggs & Luke - STAR WARS CUT SCENES footage of him you won't find in any edition of the movies

 

[Majimaune]

Oh cool. *goes and watches it* That is pretty cool. How did you find it there?

 

[C Of K]

I'm not positive as I always use a bookmark to find it these days. But I think I searched for deleted Star Wars scenes originally.

 

[Majimaune]

Oh right. Its just some of the links that you put up are strange and I wonder how you find most of them.

 

[Joel007]

I have the scene on a bonus DVD somewhere It's nice to get some of the background information on a good series.

 

[Majimaune]

Yeah that it is. *brain screams for sleep*

 

[Vincent Tauscher]

Do you think Lucas would be full of himself enough to make another Star Wars trilogy? (Episodes 7, 8, and 9)?

 

[Majimaune]

He has said in many interviews that he's not going to make any more. Wish he would.

 

[Joel007]

I'd prefer it if some of the many books were made into films.

 

[devilsgrin]

Or something completely unrelated to these star wars films... perhaps movie versions of Knights of the Old Republic - the Revan one in particular, tho II with the exile might be do-able aswell - just so long as the main character was the canon female jedi

Imagine Kreia on-screen. Easily the best KOTOR villain from either I or II, the dark version of Obi Wan... that would be great to see. (imagine her played by judi dench or maggie smith, one of those brilliant older english actresses, who could play the subtle menace that enamates from Kreia even when you've influenced her to a more light-side allignment flawlessly).

 

[Majimaune]

Hmmm that would be interesting, making a movie out of KotOR.

....no the movies are not overrated by society.....the fan base is there because obviously they enjoyed them(including me) if they enjoyed them...that is all that mattered....

 

[Joel007]

I personally would love to see Wraith squadron made into a film (probably quite a long film ) as I'm reading it now for the billionth time and enjoying every page of it.
(warning, this article contained hyperbole)

 

[Majimaune]

Right Joel gotcha. Wraith Squadron would be an awesome movie or it has the potential to be one because it is an awesome book. My favourite of the X-wing series.

 

[Joel007]

Every conversation is full of witticism, good tactics, or important emotion. My kind of book, all story and no filler

 

[Majimaune]

Well every conversation with Phanan and Face in it.

 

[Joel007]

Tyria and Kell are quite funny. And no one can top Wes Janson vs Wedge!

"Who's first?"
"His name is Kettch, and he's an Ewok."
"No."
"Oh, yes. Determined to fight. You should hear him say, 'Yub, yub.' He makes it a battle cry."
"Wes, assuming he could be educated up to Alliance fighter-pilot standards, an Ewok couldn't even reach an X-wing's controls."
"He wears arm and leg extensions, prosthetics built for him by a sympathetic medical droid. And he's anxious to go, Commander."
"Please tell me you're kidding."
"Of course I'm kidding, Pilot-candidate number one is a human female, from Tatooine, Falynn Sandskimmer."
"I'm going to get you Janson."
"Yub, yub, Commander."

 

[Majimaune]

Ah yes. That little one there is awesome. Best part is when they actually find an ewok pilot.
