Slocket Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 It is true. Disney aims to put out three more films starting in 2015. The franchise sold for about 4 billions dollars. I think it may be related to the succees of the clone wars sage cartoons on television. Disney will own the rights completely to Star Wars. I wonder what ramifications it may entail.

SWR Staff - Executive Evaders99 Posted October 31, 2012 Author SWR Staff - Executive Share Posted October 31, 2012 I'm really hoping they do like Marvel and make some good pictures.

Master_Xan Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 Interesting graphic. I wonder why Sony is over Spiderman and Ghost Rider instead of Disney, with the other Marvel movies... I think Disney is certainly capable of overseeing a good Star Wars movie or three. Question is, will they? The last couple Pirates of the Caribbean movies weren't exactly top notch, and if they were in charge of the Hulk movies, then yeah. Oh, and when I first heard of this, my brain almost exploded. The very idea... I still have trouble wrapping my mind around it. Some of the internet memes sure are funny though. Star Wars: Rebellion, A Field Manual"O be wise, what can I say more?"

SWR Staff - Executive Evaders99 Posted January 25, 2013 Author SWR Staff - Executive Share Posted January 25, 2013 JJ Abrams rumored to be director, after he said he wasn't interested.http://movies.yahoo.com/blogs/movie-talk/star-trek-director-j-j-abrams-talks-call-221511526.html Mmm I did like the new Star Trek, but I'm thinking people will draw parallels between his movies more than seeing Star Wars as its own model. Anyway, here's hoping it works!

Master_Xan Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 I saw that yesterday. Supposedly, the Star Trek reboot was inspired by Star Wars in the first place. I'm excited to see what he does with it. It is also supposed to be "an original story." I don't know what that means in this context; outside of the expanded universe, thus creating more problems for the continuum? Or based on the books, but "original" to movie-only audiences? In other news, the Ender's Game movie has a release date- Nov 1st. That's one I'll be there for the midnight showing! Star Wars: Rebellion, A Field Manual"O be wise, what can I say more?"

Darth_Rob Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 When it comes to Star Wars movies, I'm actually looking forward to seeing someone else at the helm. It's no secret that the prequels were not the best they could have been. I think seeing someone's fresh take, particularly if they truly revere the source material, could make for some good movies. Your feeble skills are no match for the power of the Dark Side!

alexbond45 Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 The prequels were way better than all that clone wars BS, though... I thought the Clone Wars from 2002-2004 (2005?) was pretty good, it had a Samurai Jack style and displayed large scale battles and portrayed force wielders as a group to be reckoned with.

MrPhildevil Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 If you are referring to this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Wars:_Clone_Wars_%282003_TV_series%29 I agree that they are better than the rest of the clone wars material, but still not as good as the prequel. I mean come-on, Mace Windu is just hammering f*****g metal armoured plates with his bare fists... How is that realistic? And Durge was way exagerated... Aw, you people don't get-it lol. Clone wars is like attempting something and failing. What would have rocked was if somebedy went ahead and picked-up any frigging Timothy Zahnn SW book and made-it into a movie. Now that would rock the Star Wars world to its very core! Or maybe something darker like the Vong... Just no Ashoka... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
budious Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 I feel more raped than a chick in a Women In Prison movie at this point. The worst part is rape counseling isn't even available, the only thing that could bring me closure are the unaltered original trilogy on blu-ray. George Lucas, raping my soul since 1997. "In the future it will become easier for old negatives to become lost and be 'replaced' by new altered negatives. This would be a great loss to our society.

And Durge was way exagerated...I can't believe I'm defending the Clone Wars stuff, but... well, Star Wars has never been about realism. If it was, stormtrooper armor would do something, tractor beams would have multiple control nodes (allowing them to be powered on remotely from, I don't know, the bridge?), AT-ATs would never have been used at all, the Ewoks would have been completely smoked, Vader wouldn't force choke people (he would crush their windpipes and leave them to squirm in agony on the ground), etc etc. And that's all from the original series; don't get me started on the prequels or the expanded universe. In any case, the Clone Wars stuff was marketed to children. Just as the prequels were. If you approach them from that standpoint, they aren't so bad. Hopefully, with JJ Abrams at the helm, the new movie will be designed for someone older than twelve. I feel more raped than a chick in a Women In Prison movie at this point.

I mean, realism is about the author actually trying to make a story with elements that actually makes sense. From this point of view, the realism from a TZ or Mike Stackpole novel is way better than that of Kevin J. Anderson. Also, Lucas has always added a funny element. The original trilogy's clowns were obviously C-3PO and R2-D2. Adding Jar-Jar to the prequel was maybe a bit clumsy. In my opinion, he should have been a bit more serious, a bit less clumsy and idiots (à la bob sponge square...) and folks would have liked him. Would have been even better had Michel Courtemanche had the role instead of the actor that had-it. (This guy is so funny he can make you laugh without saying anything: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=59SYVJ9N9cs ). But Ashoka, I feel she just popped out of nowhere and it just doesn't fit. In the original trilogy, there is nothing that may even hint that Vader had an apprentice (alas, not while he was on the LS). And on clone wars, things are just a little too exaggerated for me...

SWR Staff - Executive Evaders99 Posted August 6, 2013 Author SWR Staff - Executive Share Posted August 6, 2013 Ashoka is actually one of my favorite characters. I wish they would have brought her in more subtlety in other works (pretty sure she's dead after the Clone Wars lol), but given the way they were ramping up the Jedi army, Anakin without an apprentice wouldn't have made much sense. She makes a good foil for Anakin, she's impulsive and smart - and holds her own to Anakin's "brute force" techniques. Brings a little more complexity than the emotion-drivel Vader we see later. Some of it is just silly (anything with Jar Jar). It is a kids show mostly, but some episodes show more depth and really flesh out the Kenobi-Anakin-Ashoka relationship. I generally enjoy the ones they bring in Dooku and Palpatine's manipulations too. I expect it depends on who the writer is. I definitely enjoy more of the later seasons. I wouldn't dismiss it off hand as a kids cartoon, otherwise you'd miss some cool stuff. (Not the amazing level as Avatar: The Last Airbender tv series, but I feel the same way about it) Evaders99http://swrebellion.com/images/banners/rebellionbanner02or6.gif Webmasterhttp://swrebellion.com/images/banners/swcicuserbar.png Administrator Fighting is terrible, but not as terrible as losing the will to fight.- SW:Rebellion Network - Evaders Squadron Coding -The cake is a lie.

Master_Xan Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 Well, yes and know. I mean, realism is about the author actually trying to make a story with elements that actually makes sense.I agree. And using that as a guide, Star Wars (and every version of Star Trek) fail the realism challenge. Most everything Hollywood makes fails, actually. Doesn't bother me, unless it is really blatant. Having only seen a few Clone Wars episodes, I'm not sure I can contribute much about Ashoka or other stuff. Star Wars: Rebellion, A Field Manual"O be wise, what can I say more?"
