To be fair it dodged many godawful bullets like this, this could have been the Teen Titans Go of Cartoon Network:munx13 said:How about just letting it die. The series suffered enough.

And you expect me to make up a detailed character arc on the spot, at least admit I can't unlike most writers (Looks at Game of Thrones)BeetleManiac said:And apparently only tell the stories that you personally want to hear. Of course, we don't know what those stories would be since by your own admission you don't know how to make a half-way decent character arc.Samtemdo8 said:So keep the original trilogy than I conceed that, but if they want to build a bigger universe outside of it, they need to follow the original trilogy's rules alot more closely
Infact Steven Spielberg would be my preference for someone to do a Remake of the Original Trilogy. And he has that whole Father Abadonment theme in his movies so him writing Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader should be right at home with him.Neverhoodian said:I'm of the opinion that Star Wars should have been public domain by now. That way any aspiring director could make a Star Wars movie any way they liked without being hampered by exclusive rights holding, licencing fees or arbitrary definitions of "canon." I mean, it's been over four decades since ANH came out, which is more than enough time for the original creators to be compensated for their work. Unfortunately that's never going to happen while Disney has the license, as they're the loudest proponents of extending copyright indefinitely in the name of corporate greed.
(This was shortly before the Disney buyout, but the message remains relevant)
So yeah, go nuts I say. Remakes, reboots, reimaginings, the whole nine yards. Anyone should be able to play in the Star Wars sandbox any way they please, from the Steven Spielbergs of the world to the Tommy Wiseaus, and they shouldn't have to go through the likes of Disney, Fox, George Lucas, EA or any other person or entity formerly or currently involved in the franchise.
Well to some people the Original Trilogy aged well like wine, for me things like this aged well:trunkage said:The Star Wars original trilogy was only good because we were kids. Like cartoons of a similar era, He-man and Transformers as example, looking at them as an adult makes you think they were on drugs the whole time and needed someone to step in to write for them. Its basically a bunch of cardboard cut-outs in a Force setting.
Don't remake them. They don't deserve it
Nope, the only Gundam I ever watched in its entirety was G Gundam.BeetleManiac said:Detailed? No. But you won't even present me with a character beyond some vague nouns that you strangely insist be capitalized as proper nouns. And please don't deflect again. You make a list of awesome-looking things you want, but you don't give us any reason to give a shit.Samtemdo8 said:And you expect me to make up a detailed character arc on the spot, at least admit I can't unlike most writers (Looks at Game of Thrones)
Let's try an illustration. Have you watched Gundam 00?
I wasn't aware that it was. Wasn't the actual reboot a way of sorting things out?Samtemdo8 said:So how would you fix what is now an incoherent mess of a franchise?
It's the Galactic Empire, not the Sith Empire. Also, we have seen sides fight on relatively equal footing, namely in the prequels (Republic vs. CIS).Samtemdo8 said:Imagine the Republic and the Jedi Order as shown in the prequels battles the Sith Empire as shown in the Original Trilogy, and have more Sith characters than just the Emperor and Darth Vader.
The prequels were handled by many of the original artists from the OT and looked how bad those turned out. Lucas himself wasn't able to recapture what made the OT great and he created the while thing.Ezekiel said:Also, it's a terrible idea because whatever Disney does with Star Wars, it's not gonna be as good as the original trilogy, because it's handled by a bunch of corporate clowns instead of artists now. Kathleen Kennedy only cares about the money.
But I like C-3PO!Samtemdo8 said:Well to some people the Original Trilogy aged well like wine, for me things like this aged well:trunkage said:The Star Wars original trilogy was only good because we were kids.

The Space Battle, Luke vs Vader, Yoda.
While things like this did not:
Ewoks, Return of the Jedi's Ewok Party ending, C-3PO in general.
We all knew how Rogue One was going to end - it was in the opening scrolls of A New Hope the spies paid the price for getting the death star plans.Ezekiel said:What would be the point of that? There's no mystery then. Everyone knows how it will end. I want good original stories.Silentpony said:Why don't we all just admit there are way better stories in the expanded lore? I mean yeah, 80% of Star Wars novels are utter trash, but a cool 20% might be adaptable to screen.
I maintain Karl Urban as Dash Rendar in a Shadows of the Empire movie...
