Star Wars Eps. VII, VIII, and IX.

I know a sequel trilogy will probably never happen (for at least a few decades), but it's always fun to imagine what would actually occur in this trilogy. What would the plot(s) be? Who would be the characters? What would you title them? And so on...

This has probably been done before, but oh well.... see this as well:

Jar Jar and Lando team up with Greedo's ghost to filibuster an amendment to a particularly divisive election reform bill.

En route to Coruscant from Kashyyk, Chewbacca enters a temporal anomaly, which leads him to Tatooine 30 years earlier. It's later revealed that he is Anakin's real father.

It's difficult to imagine, as they've already imagined the shit out of it in the expanded universe books, comics, breakfast cereals, etc.

I'd like to think they could make the Expanded Universe stuff. A lot of has to do with Luke setting up the Jedi Academy, finding new Jedi and the formation of the New Republic. Some of it's actually pretty good stuff (like Timothy Zahn's 'Heir to the Empire' trilogy). Plus, you get Mara Jade, and she's awesome.

Yeah, and magic salamanders and clones of Luke named "Luuuuuuuuke". Those books have lots of awesome stuff like that.

Really? Suddenly, I'm kinda glad I never bothered to read that trilogy.

People loved it because it filled ten years' worth of Star Wars vaccuum (it's hard to believe there was a time when ten years could go by without any kind of Star Wars movie, novel, or comic being released...), but in truth it wasn't very good at all. I mean, a villian who is able to predetermine the enemy commander's military tactics based on the kind of artwork his culture creates? Fucking stupid.

When will Star Wars be cool again? And I'm not talking about when Lucasfilm publicists told media outlets to do "Star Wars is cool again" stories when SITH was out. I'm talking like early-to-mid-90s cool. That's when I first saw the movies.

Maybe if Nintendo releases the Super Star Wars games on Virtual Console we'll magically forget about all the baggage this franchise has acquired.

Admit it, Germany just lost WW2 because Leni Riefenstahl got so famous in the US of A.

The Next Trilogy will be a 6 hour epic.
The first film will be two hours of Lucas rolling in his money chamber, greased up to prevent paper cuts, followed by 30 minutes of him bathing in a pool filled with the rich, cleansing tears of orphans.
The second film with be a travelogue about his and Speilburg's Hawaiian vacations with CGI enhancements of what they look like in swimsuits.
The trilogy of trilogies capping film will be two hours of a movie done in sitcom clip-show format showcasing the greatest hits of the films in the trilogy. This will be threaded together with a compelling framework about the true meaning of Wookie Christmas and end with a teary montage set to Green Day's "Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)".

I'm sorry, I was just watching Bigger Longer Uncut, and I felt the need to use that line somewhere.

Faggot might not be the best word.

People that are still excited about Star Wars have one of three effects on me: either I'm able to just totally tune them out, or they make me ashamed to call myself a geek, and occasionally a man. If you don't care about Star Wars, why'd ya starting yet another topic about the never going to happen episodes 7-9, and then immediately decide you actually don't care just because the usual is happenin' at CHUD and people are being sarcastic assholes?

I did read that last bit wrong, I read that "you" for some reason as "I". So sorry.

You know, I didn't want to see the sequel trilogy back when Star Wars was still cool. Why would anybody want to now? There's nothing for it to be about. The big bad guy is dead. The good guys have won. It's over. Do we need to watch the establishment of the New Republic? The first general elections? More trade negotiations?

Good to know that they serve a purpose. When they can make you ashamed to call yourself alive, and you do something about it, they'll have performed a real service.

To paraphrase C.S. Lewis, Star Wars fans are the greatest argument for and against Star Wars.


These days, though, it's more like 70 percent against, 30 percent for.

Yeah, but 90 percent of the people who will go online to post about it will do nothing but bitch about how Obi Wan's lightsaber had the wrong hilt.

This thread is rapidly turning into a math problem.

Super Star Wars/Empire/Jedi
Dark Forces/Jedi Knight Series
Battlefront Series
KOTOR Series
X-Wing/Tie Fighter Series
Rogue Squadron Series
Star Wars Lego
Galactic Battlegrounds
Starfighter/Jedi Starfighter
Star Wars Trilogy Arcade
Shit even Bounty Hunter, Racer and Empire of War, and yes SW Galaxies (though I'm really not fond of MMO's at all, truth be told) are better than your average game.

Fuck it, I even recall having fun playing Obi-Wan, which was one of the early titles for the Xbox.

You leave out the shitty games based closely on the films and crap like Masters of Teras Kasi and Super Bombad Racing and you're actually left with some pretty solid, or at least very fun titles.

Clearly you've never loaded up transports with dozens of AT-ATs, cackling while they fly across the Galactic Battlegrounds map towards your friend's city, and as you deploy them right in the town center suddenly get a cold sweat as nearly a HUNDRED SITH just pour outta nowhere and utterly demolish your army, and then begin marching en masse down towards your base, where you feverishly begin trying to raise stormtrooper armies to counter them, and begin laughing victoriously as the Sith arrive and get butchered battering themselves against your double-dosage of regenerating shield walls with towers firing down on them. But suddenly you are scrambling for your life again when your buddy brings out shitloads of artillery that ignore your walls but begin wiping out the forest bordering you on the south. If only you can hold out long enough to raise a new army of TIE Bombers!

....And so forth.

Now, Empire at War...

Empire at War is better looking, and has alot of really cool shit (like the ability to fucking blow up planets with the Death Star, or demolish invading fleets with planetary guns, and special moves for hero characters), but it's not as well balanced, and lacks a ton of features that are available in most other RTS games. That you can't create your own scenarios with massive armies or triggers, and that multiplayer just isn't as fun or varied as it is n Galactic Battlegrounds kind've diminishes the quality of the game in my view.

When it comes down to it though,. they're both good games, just for completely different reasons.

Plus, Galactic Battlegrounds was built on an already-existing engine that was proven, balanced, and worked. I couldn't get very far in Empire At War. Those damn TIE tanks would just roll over me. Plus, they were stupid. TIE tanks? Who thought of that?

Like many other heroes/vehicles/locations in the game, the TIE Tanks are from the EU. Not sure where though because I don't read any of that crap.

But since you mention it, I actually think those were really cool, especially because you could run people over with them. Really one of my favorite things about playing as the Empire in that game. They made it quasi-fair by the fact that they don't take alot of hits to take out. The self destruct aspect of that vehicle is pretty fucking cheap though.

I'm very familiar, as far as using mods goes. I'm not geeky enough to have ever tried making my own though. That aspect is also very limited in Empire at War compared to Battlegrounds. I do like the mod that scales the ships to their 'actual' sizes though, that's pretty cool.

What is this mod you speak of? I may have to give this game another go if I can get it to work in bootcamp.

And yes, Forces of Corruption made a ton of difference for EAW. I really blanked it out, but that shit is alot of fun. Love love love the suicide bomber ewoks.

Any website having anything at all to do with gaming is summarily blocked at work, but I found it on EAW's Filefront page. There are a lot of insane mods on there, too...the ship mods follow the general rule that if the ship gets a mention ANYWHERE AT ALL in the EU, it has a spot in the game.

One of the mods has like 4 or 5 different super star destroyers (or star dreadnaughts) in it.

I basically just run around with the Eclipse when I'm bored. It was a fast-tracking super-laser and can make swiss cheese of just about any enemy fleet.
