Everybody does Robot Chicken, looks like they have him on speed dial. Seriously...he has never done and of McFarlane's shows? You better screen capture this, I was wrong.

Jamie_B Posted November 11, 2012 Report Share Posted November 11, 2012 [quote name='Lucid' timestamp='1352472357' post='1178913'] I guess if you limit the genre to American made family films, the Toy Story series is pretty good.. But to say it's the best of all time is kind of absurd if you are actually into the genre of animated films. I have to admit I found little miss sunshine a fun watch,[color=#ff0000] but I don't equate the style of either of these films to what I want out of a Star Wars movie.[/color] [/quote] This. Obviously this guy has writing cred, but I'd have liked to have seen someone who has some sort of sci-fi writing cred. Well see I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamie_B Posted November 13, 2012 Report Share Posted November 13, 2012 I really hope not, this would be a lame lame story imo, unless they did it in a way that it isnt Anikin but a clone (somewhat similiar to the Zahan series) http://www.ign.com/articles/2012/11/13/star-wars-vii-will-darth-vader-rise-from-the-ashes [b] [/b] [quote] [b] Star Wars VII: Will Darth Vader 'Rise from the Ashes'?[/b] [b] Rumor has it the Sith Lord will return for Disney's Star Wars film.[/b] [color=#000000][font='Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif][size=4] Okay, here's your crazy-ass Star Wars [i][b]rumor[/b][/i] of the day. As we know, Darth Vader bites it in Return of the Jedi -- like, full-on roasts in a fire, turns into a ghost, end of story, right? Well, according to the British tabloid [url="http://www.express.co.uk/posts/view/357610/Darth-Vader-to-be-resurrected"]Express.co.uk[/url], an "industry insider" claims that Disney is looking to resurrect the iconic villain for [url="http://movies.ign.com/objects/628/628664.html"]Star Wars: Episode VII[/url].[/size][/font][/color][color=#000000][font='Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif][size=4] "He's an integral part of the franchise. Replacing him is virtually impossible," one source says. "The plan is for him to return and play a significant role in the new films."[/size][/font][/color] As [url="http://www.slashfilm.com/star-wars-bits-guillermo-del-toro-weighs-in-on-star-wars-directing-job-will-darth-vader-rise-from-the-ashes/"]/Film[/url] notes, it's important to keep in mind that tabloid sites -- especially from the U.K. -- are not exactly renowned for their Hollywood accuracy, so it's best to take this news with a big block of salt. After all, [url="http://stars.ign.com/objects/915/915810.html"]Michael Arndt[/url] was only [url="http://www.ign.com/articles/2012/11/10/confirmed-arndt-writing-star-wars-script"]just confirmed[/url] to be penning the feature a few days ago. On the other hand, it's also unwise to completely write off the power of marketability, of which Darth Vader has a small moon's worth. As for [i]how[/i] you go about resurrecting a dead Sith Lord, the insider added, "This is science fiction, remember... Darth Vader will rise from the ashes." Hey, Darth Maul did it, right?

mongo Posted November 13, 2012 Report Share Posted November 13, 2012 I don't think there's anything Disney can screw up the last three didn't already screw up (or any of those awful re-cut versions of the original trilogy)... The sacred status, for me, went away with Episode 1. Turn it into a franchise, give directors trilogies to imagine their vision, and let the universe expand.

I'm not sure where they can go with Vader redeemed/dead and the emperor dead.

MichaelWeston Posted November 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2012 Im not sure if I posted this before or not but here goes. I loved the first 3 when I was growing up and was really excited about the new 3. I dont remember disliking them when they came out but now in retrospect I really think that I wanted to like them so much I ignored that they were awful. One of the factors I use to determine if a movie is really good or not is if I watch it any time it pops on TV. All 3 first movies I will watch. These new 3 I don't.

Jamie_B Posted November 21, 2012 Report Share Posted November 21, 2012 I didn't thing that episode 2 and 3 were that bad, I still watch them on occasion.

Bengals1181 Posted January 14, 2013 Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 [left][size=4]Back in November, the [url="http://herocomplex.latimes.com/2012/11/08/zack-snyder-on-directing-new-star-wars-movie-no-thanks/"]Los Angeles [i]Times[/i]reported[/url] that [i]Man of Ste[/i][i]el[/i] and [i]300[/i] director Zack Snyder said he had no interest in directing the hotly anticipated seventh [i]Star Wars[/i] film. But Vulture has learned that while this may be specifically true — he won’t be doing [i]Episode VII[/i]— it was a bit of misdirection: He is in fact developing a [i]Star Wars [/i]project for Lucasfilm that is set within the series’ galaxy, though parallel to the next trilogy. It will be an as-yet-untitled Jedi epic loosely based on Akira Kurosawa’s 1954 classic [i]Seven Samurai[/i], with the [i]ronin [/i]and [i]katana[/i] being replaced by the Force-wielding knights and their iconic lightsabers. (Go ahead, say it — you know you want to: “ … [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0aRtupiY9Dw"]an elegant weapon, for a more civilized age[/url].” Felt good, didn’t it?)[/size][/left] [left][size=4][color=#000000][font=Arial, Helvetica, Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif]It’s not clear just where Snyder’s untitled Jedi film would fall within the [i]Star Wars [/i]chronology, but one insider expects it will not be considered part of the “numbered” episodes, but rather a stand-alone film set sometime post[i]–Episode VI [/i]events, meaning the next phase of the franchise development is much broader than previously thought. For those unfamiliar, Kurosawa’s influential[url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zNqQXC8Tv8U"][i]Seven Samurai[/i][/url] ([i]The Magnificent Seven [/i]was the American remake) tells the tale of a small agrarian town in seventeenth-century Japan that’s routinely pillaged by bandits. Fed up with the annual shakedown, its farmers retain the services of seven masterless samurai to defend their harvest. George Lucas has cited the classic as one of his favorites, [url="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/film/filmmakersonfilm/3642010/Film-makers-on-film-George-Lucas.html"]telling the [i]Telegraph [/i]in 2005[/url] that “it’s a brilliant, brilliant film, and every time I see it I can't believe the magic mixture of a great story and great acting and humour and action and suspense — wonderful cinema. The art of moving pictures is on every frame of this movie.”[/font][/color][/size][/left] [left][color=#222222][font=Georgia, serif][size=1][url="http://www.vulture.com/2013/01/zack-snyder-preps-non-trilogy-star-wars-film.html"]http://www.vulture.c...-wars-film.html[/url][/size][/font][/color][/left] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
