Lucas REALLY ****ed up this time...

[bcadoo]

Actually it was 12 movies (four trilogies), and, no, I do not think the other 3 will be made.  So for all intents and purposes the story (as far as the movie going public is concerned) is over.

Nah....if there's money to be made....SOMEBODY will make them.

Now, don't get me wrong, I LOVE star wars, but this... this is just a travesty. It used to be that the movies had a good plot line, good dialogue, and any humor was a bit more... masked at least. Now here is this cartoon version, that is just like the crap you see day to day on cartoon network. I think this is really going to kill Star Wars for the people who grew up with originals.

Considering you weren't even a gleam in your daddy's eyes when the originals came out, you really wouldn't know.  I was lucky enough to see a special screening over the weekend and I have to say it was very good and your description of the movie is way off the mark.  Not surprised though, since all you based your opinion on was a 2 minute and 30 second trailer.  I honestly thought it was far better than Episodes I, II, and III, which by the way are the ones that almost killed it for us that grew up with the original trilogy.

Well the acting in that trailer already looks better than episodes 1 2 and 3

Granted, I wasn't alive when they very first came out, but I was fortunate enough to have grown up just as the original trilogy hit theatres BEFORE episode I came out. Beleive it or not, I DID grow up with IV V and VI.

And actually, this was the best trailer ive seen of the movie. All of the trailers I have seen have such horrible dialogue, even compared to I II and III, and it couldn't hold a candle to IV V and VI from what ive seen.

Don't let me to rain on your parade but...ok, yes I will.  Lucas started the downward spiral of this franchise with Epi. VI "The Return of the Ewoks"

<---- 10 years old in '77.  Best summer of my life.

I don't think it will be too bad...will definitely wait for it on DVD though.  There were was a cartoon series devoted to the Clone Wars that aired on Cartoon Network(which this is based off of) that was "Official Canon", so it shouldn't be some hodgepodge of random Star Wars mockery.  Besides you can do alot more with cartoons than you can with actors.  I do wish the art didn't look so corny and campy.  If they had gone the Beowulf/Final Fantasy route this would be awesome.  But alas, Lucas set on the cash-cow trail long ago, and this is yet another excuse to market to the kid audience that will make their parents go see this, buy the toys(already seen advertisements), and buy it on DVD.

Really? Episode VI was actually my favorite I think. I didn't fancy the ewoks, but im obsessed with the space ships, ESPECIALLY the big ones, so I LOVED the uber-climax space fight at the end, lol.

[Xargos]

I'd like to see a movie based on the game Knights of the Old Republic.  Darth Revan is one of my favorite characters.

[DiabloTX]

Yeah, the Ewoks were extremely annoying.  The stormtroopers wasted the Jawas but the lil Ewoks were left alive?  Whatev...

[Tac]

horrible just horrible.


the sadest thing of it all is that even IF he really wanted to do it animated.. this animation is YEARS behind that used by Square Enix to make the final fantasy spirits within movie.

[Nilsen]

Didnt look that bad to me actually. I will get it when its out on DVD.

[Ack-Ack]

horrible just horrible.

LucasArts went with a more cell shaded animation look where as the company I work for prefers a more realistic look with their CGI movies like Final Fantasy Advent Children and Spirits Within.

How involved was Lucas in this, though? I'm assuming not very, which means this could possibly be good.

He certainly wasn't a big part of the Tie Fighter PC game, and that was one of the finest games of all time.

New ride for the SAPPs out there.

I have the prequel trilogy on DVD. Haven't watched any of them since Episode III first came out on it.

I have the OT double-pack with the original un-Specialied versions on Disk 2 and that's the only ones I've been watching.

Read most of the books up through the end of New Jedi Order. They SHOULD have stopped with the last book in the previous run (Vision of the Future). I never even read the last series (as far as I'm concerned, Mara is alive).
