New Star Wars movies - a trilogy too far?

As for the novels, what would stop Lucas from simply decreeing “Sorry, they’re not canon anymore!”?

After all the plot holes in the last trilogy, I’m not even sure the films are official canon anymore.

I know. First the fake Nigerian Princes, and now this.

Wait… they’re fake??!!??!! :eek: :eek: :eek:

I’ll be back… I have to run to my bank immediately! :mad:

If wearing 23rd century clothes is wearing brightly colored pyjamas, I’ll stand with Lucas here.
Plus, it’s “Once upon a time, in a galaxy far far away…” if I remember well. The whole strength of SW relied on not going for out-of-date-tomorrow futurisms.

Actually, if the women would wear outfits like Pricess Leia did (while a captive of Jabba), I’d be pretty happy!

But what director worth his salt spends his whole lifetime making the same damn movie!

Coppola?

An animated version of the Zahn novels seems like a license to print money. Great story, voice acting from the original cast, and Lucas can restore his cred with some of the fans who hate 1-3. IOW, I’d go see it.

I’ve said this before and I’ll never stop saying it. The supernatural shit was never the cool thing about Star Wars. The Force and the Jedi spiritualism and that stuff was just a sideline. The coolest thing about Star Wars, the heart and soul of it, was the material stuff - the swashbuckling Han Solo, the menacing Imperial war machine, the battered, dirty technology, the DIY guerrilla ethic of the Rebels. That stuff was what made Star Wars, not a bunch of pretentious guys with robes and convoluted names.
