Yet Another "New Movie" Rumor

feeds@yuku.com (max jaybo) — Wed, 09 Dec 2009 23:38:33 GMT

Gleaned from a blog by Thomas Dolby, (a musician who worked on Lucas' "Howard the Duck") after a visit to a friend of his at LFL.

My host is friend and former collaborator Paul Sebastien, who over the years has worked for Xbox, Playstation, and now LucasArts. Last night he was telling me a little about the forthcoming Star Wars-related TV show, movie and online games-very cool indeed. I'm not a huge fan myself (and...

Movies Meet EU: Appearances that Could Have Been

feeds@yuku.com (Iurus) — Mon, 30 Nov 2009 18:02:38 GMT

This has been discussed, yes, but never exclusively. This is to be an entire thread dedicated to sticking EU (and other- see below!) characters into film cameos.

The Phantom Menace:
Kadann, or his predecessor, talking things over with Darth Sidious before he makes a phone call
Jedi Master Dooku in the Jedi temple
The Sarlaac at Boonta Eve, eating a podracer
Sate Pestage and Wilhuff Tarkin supporting Palpatine's...

A New Trilogy in 3D?!?

feeds@yuku.com (corax) — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 06:55:33 GMT

The blog Marketsaw is reporting that a very reliable source has heard some strong rumblings that Lucasfilm is considering a brand new trilogy in 3D!! Alot of this depends on the success of James Cameron's Avatar, and from what...

"A Prophecy that Misread Could Have Been"

feeds@yuku.com (Claus von Pellaeon) — Mon, 08 Jun 2009 11:33:29 GMT

Yoda says this in Episode Three to Obi-Wan and Mace when discussing the issue of Anakin possibly being the Chosen One.

Now, putting aside what Lucas has said and looking at it purely from an in-universe stance, does that mean that somewhere in the interpretation, the Jedi were mistaken about Anakin being the prophesied "Chosen One?"

Let's look at the evidence that suggests he could be:

1) Super high medichlorian count
2) Overtly sharp, innate...

Star Wars Abriged Script Parodies

feeds@yuku.com (Iron Fist) — Tue, 03 Mar 2009 23:15:39 GMT

One of my friends linked me to this yesterday and I have to say that it's one of the best parodies I"ve seen yet. The link below is only to Episode I but there are links at the bottom. Anyway, enjoy the read

Star Wars Episode I The Phantom Menace: Ten Years later

feeds@yuku.com (corax) — Thu, 05 Feb 2009 20:02:36 GMT

Since Jaina did this for Vector Prime I thought I would start a thread for TPM. In May it will be ten years since The Phantom Menace premeired. For those old enough do you remember seeing the movie on opening day? Did you go to the midnight showing? Did anyone go to the Midnight Madness on May 3rd to get all the toys?

I waited in line for 8 hours to see this movie and when the curtain finally rose it was my first experience seeing a Star Wars movie that wasn't a Special...

Have you seen this movie STAR WARS: THE CLONE WARS?

feeds@yuku.com (youcuuu) — Tue, 02 Sep 2008 20:27:47 GMT

Yesterday I went to the primere of Clone Wars and after watch the movie after I saw this article:

With beautifully inventive animation, this latest chapter in George Lucas' saga is a frantic series of action scenes without a heart.

Star Wars Trilogies Box Sets

feeds@yuku.com (Fettster) — Thu, 28 Aug 2008 19:20:37 GMT

For anyone who doesn't already have the six films (i.e....me, and probably no one else here ) the trilogies are getting boxed up and rereleased on November 4. It's the 2-disc editions, so the same prequel discs as we've always had and the 2006 rereleases of the DVD editions of the originals (with "original" versions included). So nothing new, but if you don't already have them all (i.e. if...

Review: The Clone Wars (2008) [3/5]

I love the old script ideas Lucas didn't use.

feeds@yuku.com (Fettster) — Sun, 11 May 2008 19:01:31 GMT

For example, the opening crawl in the second draft of the original:

The REPUBLIC GALACTICA is dead. Ruthless
trader barons, driven by greed and the
lust for power, have replaced enlightenment
with oppression, and "rule by the people"
with the FIRST GALACTIC EMPIRE.

Most Emotional Movie Moment

feeds@yuku.com (anakinsoloII) — Sun, 04 May 2008 20:19:12 GMT

I have a question for all of you. What do you think was the most emotional moment in all six films? For me, I think it has to be the execution of Order 66. You get a bunch of Jedi deaths, and the music was extremely err... sad and depressing. What about you?

You can also post an EU moment if you want.

Oh, and just because of the day. May the Fourth be with you.

The Star Wars Trilogies: The Fall and Redemption of Yoda?

feeds@yuku.com (Iron Fist) — Sun, 20 Apr 2008 15:45:02 GMT

This semester, I am taking two film classes (one film production, another film analysis) and they are taught by the same teacher, a recent alum of the New York University Film School. He worked at New Line Cinema for about a year and is now a director for his own film. In short, he knows films fairly well.

On occasion, then I have conversed with him about what he thinks about the Star Wars series. He is like a lot people, a great fan of the OT and disappointed in the PT. That...

In addition to the TV show, GL made an animated film of the Clone Wars, set to release August 15. The animation style is different from that of the miniseries.

I'm very very excited for this movie. I saw a trailer about a month ago and it looked great. Animation is a much more...

50th Anniversary

feeds@yuku.com (Iurus) — Fri, 14 Mar 2008 23:30:48 GMT

Yes, I intend to try and persuade Lucas in 20 years to rerelease Star Wars (I'm sure there will a new format anyway). For one thing, I plan to be in a position to do so (I will certainly not idle away the rest of my life). Anyway, what would you try to get in the finalized definitive movies? As far as I'm concerned:

Gilad Pellaeon: One scene in RotJ. That's all I ask. Maybe the call to surrender, maybe just a scene aboard the Chimaera in which he watches miserably...

Mara Jade

feeds@yuku.com (Iurus) — Sun, 09 Dec 2007 00:36:54 GMT

As usual, I can't find the post I want to respond to. I was just watching Return of the Jedi, and when I couldn't find Mara, I took to the internets to find out if/when/where. I found a mention of her in the Special Edition that was later deleted from Wookieepedia (Google never got the memo) and a lot of people on message boards asking about her. I finally found one concrete answer, which sources StarWars.comName: Lak Sivrak

AKA: Curse of the Queerwolf. Baker's Fuzz'n. Indian Name: Covered With Pixels.

Appearances: Star Wars (1977) - BUY IT FROM CHUD & AMAZON

Monster Type: Where Wolf?

Its Place in the Film: If you call it a place, Lak's lone contribution to the Star Wars mythos is a brief moment in the Mos Eisley cantina in the original release of the film....

Changing the movies

feeds@yuku.com (Uliah) — Sat, 27 Oct 2007 13:56:18 GMT
If you had the chance to change something in the movies, what it be?

For instance, If Obi Wan had been present when the jedi tried to arrest Palpatine, what would Anakin's choice have been then? Obi Wan's life for Padme's?

Jedi Sypho Dyas

feeds@yuku.com (johnythefish) — Thu, 25 Oct 2007 02:12:33 GMT
Might be spelled wrong I dont know. I also dont know who the heck this is. Its annoying. I have heard you can see some jedi in the background in episode 1 and that is supposidly him. I have also heard that Duko is him. If Duko was Sypho Dyas how come the masters (Yoda and Mace) said that he was dead while also knowing that Duko wasent. If he is that random jedi in the backround in episode 1 what was his connection to Palpy? Was he also a sith? Was order 66 programed into the clones at...
