Star Wars VII-IX, what do you think?

[Dale]

Don't worry, Lucas is character writer, and LucasFilm is co-production.  He's still in dangerous positions.

My prediction is they'll be as screwed up as I-III.

Maybe we will get lucky and Jar-Jar comes back!

I doubt it would be Jar-Jar, but we could have Jar-Jar's son.  Put him as star of the movie, and sure fire box office mega-hit!

Thats a great idea! But a better idea would be that the movie would be focused on Jar-Jar raising his son.

Episode VII: Meesa Podracing!

Here's a better spin.  Jar Jar joins the dark side, Yoda steals his son away, gives him to some farmer on a secluded planet.  The boy finds he's strong in the force, enters training with Yoda, confronts his father and loses.  Then in a big battle between Jar Jar's forces and the Republic (complete with Republic squid character pulling the entire series punchline of "It's a TRAP!"), Jar Jar and his son once again face off in front of the new Sith Lord.  The Sith Lord starts whacking around Jar Jar's son, and when he's almost dead Jar Jar picks up the new Sith Lord and dumps him into the starship core killing him.  Jar Jar dies, but not before repenting and everyone lives happily ever after!

One time, two of my old gamer buddies back in the peak of my pencil and paper gaming days tried to round me up to run a short Star Wars d20 campaign set in Phantom Menace age. One played a Sith Gungan, the other a Sith Wookie.


But, I think the more important question that everyone wants to know: what happens to Ahsoka Tano? Does she survive Order 66? Some of those Clone Wars cartoons are pretty good. JJ has nothing to do with that, at least.

A Rumor, This Is: Disney planning ‘Star Wars’ spinoff film centering on Yoda
By Bryan Enk | Movie Talk – 2 hours 14 minutes ago...

 
"Yoda: Jedi Master" has a nice ring to it, doesn't it? Or maybe just "The Jedi Master."
 
Well, before it can have a title, it has to actually exist, and for now a stand-alone "Star Wars" film that puts the powerful pint-sized denizen of Dagobah front and center is just the latest rumor to come out of a galaxy far, far away (well, not that far anymore -- it's now at Disneyland, after all).
 
Ain't It Cool News brings word that Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy might be doing a lot more than just having secret meetings with J.J. Abrams as she's apparently in the early stages of what Disney does best: milking a brand for all it's worth. Sure, Abrams is going to be directing "Episode VII," but there's more than just a new "Star Wars" trilogy in store -- we might be getting a bunch of spinoff films as well, and if Zack Snyder's rumored (and since denied) Jedi-centric riff based on Akira Kurosawa's "Seven Samurai" isn't going to be the first one out of the gate, then maybe a Yoda movie will be.
 
The project is said to be in active development, though of course there are no plot details to speak of (our guess would be it's an origin story -- actually, how about "Begin, Yoda Shall" as a title?). Kennedy apparently has a whole slate of spinoff films in the works, including one focusing on Jabba the Hutt (potentially the "Goodfellas" of the "Star Wars" universe?) that was apparently pitched by George Lucas himself. And let's not forget that Joe Johnston, who's in good with Disney after directing Marvel's "Captain America: The First Avenger," once expressed his desire to call the shots on a movie featuring everyone's favorite bounty hunter, Boba Fett. Disney and Lucasfilm have not returned our calls for comment.
 
One bit of info that could lead credence to the rumor: Lawrence Kasdan, the screenwriter of "The Empire Strikes Back" where Yoda made his first on-screen appearance, has signed on to write one of the new "Star Wars" films. And according to a report in The Hollywood Reporter, he may be writing a stand-alone movie for a side character, rather than "Episode VIII" or "IX."
 
Let's not get too carried away, though ... and hope that Disney doesn't, either. "Star Wars" is not "The Avengers." Making a bunch of spinoff movies along with a new trilogy could very well make the Death Star explode before it's fully operational. Maybe it's best to see how it goes with "Episode VII" and evaluate from there, guys? We know you're excited about your new playset but you don't want to wear it out when it's still barely out of the box.
 
Anyway, we might be recommending caution in dealing with a potential danger that doesn't even exist in the first place. Again, for now, chalk all this up as yet another "Star Wars" rumor ... and know that it certainly won't be the last.

Frankly that would interest me more than what I'm hearing of VII.

Man that guys busy! Valve may make  a half life movie with him!

Oh lordie.  Now you have me wondering what a Sith Hutt would look like.

EDIT: But now that JJ Abrams is taking the helm, it makes me genuinely wonder what a Hollywood Star Trek/Wars crossover would look like.  And no, I'm not advocating for one...but it's not outside the realm of possibility.

It may be worth it just to see the nerd wars that ensued.  I'd probably go opening night just to watch that.  (And I've sworn to never go opening night to anything trek again.  Took the boss (a next generation trekkie) to Generations opening night...  the local fanclub had rented out the theater and were doing special events prior to our screening.  It was interesting...  )


Ya know, yeah, I want to see the crossover.  I'll totally dress as Mog (Spaceballs) just to rile the crowd.
