First Geirge Lucas announces the next Star Wars entry “Attack of the Clones” (or whatever)
Then Congress outlaws cloning human beings.
Coincidence…?
My god, George Lucas is the secret ruler of the world. I am terrified.
This thread seems to be a good a place as any to publicly acknowledge my ignorance.
In the first Star Wars movie there was mention, by Princess Leia I think, of The Clone Wars.
Pretty much up until I read all the threads about the hideous Attack of the Clones title, I thought she was saying The Cologne Wars, like Cologne was a planet. Or maybe the Jedi’s who wore Old Spice turned and attacked those who wore Brut. I was never really sure.
Has anyone asked who these clones are? You see, I’m picturing vast armies of digital Jar-Jar’s and Ewoks clumsily fighting (running away from, and/or surrendering to) each other… and maybe toss in some dinosaurs from Jurassic Park, only furry and alien looking.
Bwahahaha!

Star Wars: We’ve Just Run Out of Ideas for the Title So Stop Worrying and Come See the Pretty Lightsaber Duel at the End
I’m thinking the toy replicants from Bladerunner, personally.
One of the fun rumors going around when they were first releasing the Trilogy was that it would turn out that Obi-Wan Kenobi would turn out to be a Clone, which is how he disappeared so easily when Darth Vader sliced into him. (I know that doesn’t logically follow – but it’s a rumor. It doesn’t have to make sense.) The idea is that, like “See Threepio” for “C3PO”, “Obi-Wan” is a rationalized version of “OB-1”, for “Old Ben One”, the first clone of crazy Old Ben.
Sounds OK to me. But how will they ever get Alec Guiness to do the follow-up now that he 1.) is dead; 2.) has stated that he hates the series, and is sorry he ever did it.
Industrial Light & Magic has done some fascinating things. Not only could they reanimate good ol’ Alec, but they probably could make him look like he’s enjoying it.
Look, I’m sorry I killed the guy, OK? I didn’t really mean to do it.
It was just one of those parties that got out of hand, y’know?
Luke said it.
LUKE: “You fought in the Clone Wars?”
OBI-WAN: “Yes… I was once a Jedi Knight, the same as your father.”
But you’re avoiding the important question … Old Spice or Brut?
I have it on good authority that Darth Vader wore CK-1.
The Old Spice Mines of Kessel. That makes sense.
By the way, additional to the OB-1 rumour was that Owen Lars was also a clone = ON-1
In reality, when Lando Calrissian was first created as a character, he was going to be one of an army of clones, but George changed his mind.
If anyone wants to know the truth about what or who the clones are, email me.
You’re both right. Leia’s recording started off saying “General Kenobi, years ago you served my father in the Clone Wars.” Luke also said what SPOOFE wrote.
Leia mentions it, too, in her message to Obi-Wan. “Years ago, you served my father in the Clone Wars…”
Oh yeah. I was too busy trying to look under Leia’s dress in that scene to remember. So change my first comment to “Luke said it, as well.”
Can’t blame you for that. Leia is incredibly hot in that dress.
