Don't you dare say it's a damn idea because it would be a lot better than Star Wars.

Make your own suggestion for the director: myne is Peter Jackson.

[Rez]

It's a damn idea.

[Immortalfire]

It's a damn idea...whatever that is.

[Secret_Riddle]

The games are great..why not just make a third game?

Star Wars movies shouldn't be ressurected...yet.

[Drizzle]

Don't you dare say it's a damn idea because it would be a lot better than Star Wars, if it'll be R rated.

[Symbiotic]

It's a damn idea. Every one is.

[Master Chief]

How the hell will you fit 23 hours of gameplay into a 2 hour film? :huh:

[Apollo]

i'd love to see it, but lucas shouldn't direct it... if he ever decides to make more star wars films, he should give it to someone else to direct.

but the people who created the games should also create the movie :woot:

[AhabTheArab]

stupid. and enough damn idea jokes alright?

[Bastila]

Oh I loved this game, I would love it as a film or the first game just as 3 films, as they are long so just make this one into 3 films ( I would that they might be better then the SW films also, and I loved the Old Republic)

So I would love them to make it.

Who do you think would be cast as Bastila, Carth etc

And Revan Male or Female as in the game you chose?

[Apollo]

i actually feel in love with bastila when playing the game...:O

but i'm sure every 12 year old boy did

but they should cast unknowns for Carth, Bastila and Raven.

[Gallagher]

I'd love a KotOR trilogy but it's not going to happen in my life time.

[ChickenScratch]

There's a lot out there in the SW universe that could be turned into great movie, miniseries and series material. Only hinderance I see is George, though it's his baby and he has to limit it's output for some level of quality control.

A lot of the SW novels are amazing and I think should be made into movies. Story wise I prefer many of the novels to the work done in the prequel movies.

Novels I think should be moves:

The Courtship of Princess Leia by Dave Wolverton
The Thrawn Trilogy by Timothy Zahn
The Jedi Academy Trilogy by Kevin J. Anderson

[Gallagher]

I always wanted a Shatterpoint movie, I loved that novel :csad:

[Bastila]

I'd love a KotOR trilogy but it's not going to happen in my life time.

me to, i have hope :D

But I was hoping the TV show would be Old Republic but no they chose more Skywalker time line then something NEW

You have collapsed into an epic pile of fail. Game over.

if done right it could be cool, but i dont wanna see an R Rated Star Wars. star wars are movies kids love and that should never happen.

thatd be like making an R Rated PIXAR movie or something...

[Eggyman]

I just want a third game please :)

:whatever:

A New Hope would have been so much better if it was gritty and dark. As would every movie ever made. Violent and dark means something is of high quality and mature.

[livrule]

My heart would love another Star Wars trilogy of any kind ... mostly to wash away the bad taste that the prequels left in my mouth.

My head says stop now.

I would love to know what George thinks in the deep dark corners of his mind ... does he honestly think the recent movies were wonderful or can he see the flaws that the rest of the World know exist?

Well, nowadays Lucas is surrounded by yesmen like Rick McCallum. Plus I think the wealth, glory, and power have gone to his head so much that he thinks anything he does is great.

Ok, how do you fit 23 hours of gameplay into 6 hours of film???

[Apollo]

i say make it into a TV series :woot:

cut the game into 2 or 3 seasons

visual effects in TV shows have gotten A LOT better, so i think they can pull it off.

Best Idea I've heard in a long time. So casting choices anyone? Carth always gave off this weird Alec Baldwin vibe but yeesh id hate for him to play that role.

[Apollo]

they should cast people who look and sound like the people in the game. that would be really neat.

i also wonder what name they would give Revan? because in the game every person just typed in their own name. and also what would raven look like? would he be a guy or would they make raven a girl? but i think in the comics they say revan is a boy.

[ChickenScratch]

I always wanted a Shatterpoint movie, I loved that novel :csad:

Another good one. Those books are all perfect for movie, mini series or series material. If George were brave he would do it.

[Gallagher]

Yay, another person who likes Shatterpoint, most people I make read it dont like it :woot:

[Apollo]

Kate Beckinsale reminds me of Bastila.. she kinda has the looks, and she also has the voice... what do you think? but i think she'd be to old by time the series gets into production (if it does)

she may also be to well known.. i'd like to see unknown people to play the main characters.

[\S/JcDc\S/]

Here's my crazy idea. It would be interesting to see a movie with Luke Skywalker as a teacher for a new wave of Jedi's. Maybe have him as a hermit like Ben was at the beginning, and something happens requiring a new Jedi order thus starting the Jedi Academy.

[Apollo]

^ you mean like in the Jedi Outcast video game? that would be awesome! bring back Mark!!

[Gallagher]

Anything with Hamill :up:

Who would play Katarn :wow:

The Jedi Academy Trilogy by Kevin J. Anderson

[L0ngsh0t]

In all honesty this is the best chance we have at a new star wars trilogy, and it would be incredible

however it won't happen

Spieldberg, Lucas, Bay, Jackson, Ridley Scott it has to be one of the top directors to pull it off, someone who can handle a film of that scale, so those where the five that came to mind

[War Party]

One of the best twists in a videogame.

[Apollo]

So how old do you think Revan and Bastila were in the game?

[The Shrike]

I don't see a movie in the cards, but how about an MMO (http://www.primotechnology.com/2007/10/19/biowares-upcoming-mmo-based-in-kotor-universe/) as compensation.

Oh, and I killed Carth the first chance I got, the whiny bastard.

Canderous rules though. :woot:

[bullets]

i had a feeling this was to good to be true but i ventured in anyway. im sure most of us would love to see some bad @ss star wars spinoffs but it aint happening anytime soon , which sucks because there is alot of wasted potential.

[luca_frontino]

Ok, how do you fit 23 hours of gameplay into 6 hours of film???

Did you know that George Lucas originally planned to show the Emperor in Episode IX? And Star Wars was also originally planned as a 15 episode saga?
Georgy has simply concentrated the story and fitted it in less episodes.
It's possible to fit 20 hours of VG in a 120-180 minutes of movie by simply cutting off all the useless scenes, dialogs and fights (the majority of them are completely dull and too long).

[luca_frontino]

What do you think of these titles:

Knights of the Old Republic - Episode I - The Mandalorian Wars
Knights of the Old Republic - Episode II - Lord of the Sith (it's Darth Nihilus; Darth Sion is an apprentice and Kreia is, in fact, not a Jedi neither a Sith)
Knights of the Old Republic - Episode III - Regions of the Unknown

[Kevin Roegele]

Did you know that George Lucas originally planned to show the Emperor in Episode IX? And Star Wars was also originally planned as a 15 episode saga?

It was never fifteen episodes. Lucas' plans of how the the series will be have changed over the thirty years he's been making it. At different stages it's been twelve movies, nine movies or six movies.

May I point you in the direction of this superb online, free to download book, 'The Secret History of Star Wars'...

Loads of people say that.


I liked Carth in the game, he was a loyal republic man.

But I think it would be cool if they did turn it into a show and had a public poll for Revan male or female.

Those are damn ideas!

[Timstuff]

It's a damn idea.

Agreed 100%

[Cagefighterkip]

if only lucas would make these flicks...
he has the money and the massive fanbase, so why not???

[Timstuff]

Because it's a game, and there are already 6 Star Wars movies.

[Cagefighterkip]

no offense but lucas makes so many toys and crappy cartoons (i know im alone, but it did not like clone wars)... that he owes it to us for a new trilogy

[ChickenScratch]

I would love for a trilogy done without Lucas's involvement at all. New, young crew, cast, writers (adapting the novels).

[November Rain]

concentrate on the clone wars themselves, it's the most interesting part of the star wars mythos i believe...

[JackBauer]

[November Rain]

those comics are awesome, quinlan vos is badass

[kane9321]

i want a 3rd game..what happen to me "revan"

[DarknessOfDeath]

The clone wars should have started near the end of Ep1... thus thrusting our heros and villans facing the odds at war. Ep2 would have followed through all that with the clone wars as the back drop and finally ending early on in Ep3 as it was.

[kane9321]

i actually feel in love with bastila when playing the game...:O

but i'm sure every 12 year old boy did

i know i loved her...more when i went to the "dark side"

[Timstuff]

Well then make a fan film, because that's the only way you're going to make a Star Wars movie without Lucas being involved.

[Apollo]

Attack of the clones and Revenge of the Sith should have stretched out in 3 episodes.. that would have been so much better :csad:

[Cagefighterkip]

I would love for a trilogy done without Lucas's involvement at all. New, young crew, cast, writers (adapting the novels).

Episode I, ridley Scott w/lucas and joss whedon writing
Episode II, james cameron, w/Lucas and Whedon writing
Episode 3, joss whedon directing w/whedon and lucas and cameron and scott writing

[Timstuff]

And while we're at it, let's have Jesus be the executive producer and get Bill Gates to give it a $1,000,000,000 budget. :whatever:

[Apollo]

^ thats the Spirit!!

[Gallagher]

Episode I, ridley Scott w/lucas and joss whedon writing
Episode II, james cameron, w/Lucas and Whedon writing
Episode 3, joss whedon directing w/whedon and lucas and cameron and scott writing

That's your entire budget right there.

[ChickenScratch]

Seriously though, even more interesting than the clone wars are the books following Return Of The Jedi. The rebuilding of the entire universe after a war, the new Jedi academy, Thrawn and the Emipre coming back, Han/Leia's marriage and kids.

[Cagefighterkip]

And while we're at it, let's have Jesus be the executive producer and get Bill Gates to give it a $1,000,000,000 budget. :whatever:

no need to flame me: its not serious -
its just how i think films (that will never be made) should be made in a fictional world.

[Timstuff]

In a fictional world they should be made by George Lucas, but with less PO'd fanboys as a result.

[JackBauer]

In a fictional world they should be made by George Lucas, were actually good, with less PO'd fanboys as a result.

Fixed.

[DarknessOfDeath]

Well Lucas mistake was making ep1 and 2 ten years apart. Majority of ppl don't read EU so the big gap was useless. Alot happened between 1 and 2...why couldn't it be 2-3 years? No wonder the stupid ten year gap is what killed the love story in the first place.

[Cory]

is this a dream or am i drunk?ris this thread actually here?

[Bastila]

is this a dream or am i drunk?ris this thread actually here?

Why shouldn't it, I think a KOTR film would be great.

[luca_frontino]

So, after the Clone Wars trailer, do you still think that animated crap deserved to be made more than a KOTOR trilogy?

[marcvader]

The 3rd KOTOR game is finally in the works

[RickO'Connell]

The 3rd KOTOR game is finally in the works

Isn't that the mmo ?

[Apollo]

that'll be interesting...they'll probably stop star wars galaxies then...that game got relly old, and is out dated..i used to play it a lot until then changed everything.

[Kevin Roegele]

Don't you dare say it's a damn idea because it would be a lot better than Star Wars, if it'll be R rated.



:whatever: Yeah....also, The Wizard of Oz would be so much better if it was darker and more violent. Same goes for Citizen Kane, It's A Wonderful Life, Casablanca, The Shawshank Redemption....these movies need to be R-rated!

The more violent and dark a movie is, the BETTER it is. Violent and dark make a movie more mature, and therefore better.

[Eklypze]

I wish they would do something with the New Jedi Order or Legacy of the Force or hell almost any of the EU. There is so much untapped potential there

[Speedball]

I wanna see a new Rogue Squadron game taking place during the Yuuzhan Vong War...
And KOTOR as a film series...I dunno...I'd rather see a TV series.
I think Lucas should leave The Force Unleashed as the events that happen between ROTS and ANH, and go with the KOTOR.
It has so much more potential than that other era. You have 5000 years of history compared to 20. You could get new casts every few seasons, make it take place hundreds of years later every few seasons...

[Eklypze]

I agree Speedball Id give my left nut to see anything from the Yuuzhan Vong War or anything from the Legacy comics. Imagine seeing Darth Krayt on the big screen that would be jawdroppingly awesome

[wellsy]

:whatever:

A New Hope would have been so much better if it was gritty and dark. As would every movie ever made. Violent and dark means something is of high quality and mature.
People, don't forget, you can't just make it dark and violent. The screen must always appear as though covered in a thin layer of poo too. :woot:

On topic, while I admit to not being a big EU buff (not as much as someone I know), I'd like to see a few episodes set after RotJ. They've got so much to work with there in terms of EU novels, games, etc.

I also agree that a KOTOR movie or series would be excellent, allowing for much more creative freedom (especially as there is little in the EU about this time, or at least not to my knowledge). It would also allow for lots of Jedi vs Sith stuff (they'd be after ratings, duh).

I'd prefer George Lucas to produce as opposed to write and direct. He seems to have lost the magic (or the Force?).

[Batteen87]

There's a lot out there in the SW universe that could be turned into great movie, miniseries and series material. Only hinderance I see is George, though it's his baby and he has to limit it's output for some level of quality control.

After The Phantom Menace I don't think George Lucas and the term quality control should be mentioned in the same sentence.

[luca_frontino]

After The Phantom Menace I don't think George Lucas and the term quality control should be mentioned in the same sentence.

Lucas made Star Wars mainly to a kids audience (because of money hunger).
But look at Ep. III...
PG-13 and it gives so much maturity than any other SW movie.
But, still, it's too much immature for my taste.
The KOTOR trilogy must be made and must be "R" rated work.

I enjoyed A New Hope and The Empire Strikes Back, but the remainder of the series I could take or leave. Especially the prequels. George, all the young actors in Hollywood would've given their right arm to play Anakin Skywalker, and you cast quite possibly the worst actor in the past decade. What's the matter with you?

[Gallagher]

The KOTOR trilogy must be made and must be "R" rated work.

Umm... No it doesn't.

I don't see how you'd justify that, it's no more violent or dark than ROTS. An R rated Star Wars will never happen and in my opinion doesn't need to.

[SpideyLad]

Umm... No it doesn't.

I don't see how you'd justify that, it's no more violent or dark than ROTS. An R rated Star Wars will never happen and in my opinion doesn't need to.

I'm with you on this one.

One of the biggest audiences for Star Wars are children. By not letting them see it, it would lose alot of money.

[Eklypze]

If they ever did the New Jedi Order it just might hafta be R because the Yuuzhan Vong are the definition of viscious

[Clank81]

If it was rated R it wouldn't make a profit. Star Wars needs kids.

[Boom]

One question: Does Carth die?

If not, then **** this idea.

[Eklypze]

If it was rated R it wouldn't make a profit. Star Wars needs kids.

I agree Im just stating that the Yuuzhan Vong are totally viscious and it would be hard to adapt them accurately with a pg13 rating although i believe it could be done

[Bastila]

One question: Does Carth die?

If not, then **** this idea.

Well haven't played it in a while, but if you chose Dark Side...I think you can kill him, I sure you can.

Lightside he lives.

[Gallagher]

Carth lives either way if memory serves me right, Dark Side he runs off, Light side he stays with you.

[RickO'Connell]

In Part 1: you can kill Carth near the end if you are a Female Dark Sider

[Speedball]

I agree Speedball Id give my left nut to see anything from the Yuuzhan Vong War or anything from the Legacy comics. Imagine seeing Darth Krayt on the big screen that would be jawdroppingly awesome
God...He's be this massive monster!
I'd also like to see Darth Nihilus, he's gotta be one of the creepiest villians from any game. He was WAY too easy in the game, though.
I'd just like to see who they have playing Han and Leia's kids.
In one image, they have River Phoenix as Jacen and a young Jonathan Brandis as Anakin...which kinda foreshadows what happens in the story... (They die young). I always found the image kinda creepy...

[Speedball]

One question: Does Carth die?

If not, then **** this idea.
Well, Canonically, Revan is a male and it's lightside..so he'd live.
The Exile from the second game is a woman and lightside...

Nihilus would be extremely kool to see. I think James Mcavoy would be a good Jacen and Rachel Leigh Cook for Jaina dont know bout Anakin Solo. Ive always though Colm Meany from Deep Space 9 would be perfect for Corran Horn but hes prolly to old now

[Bastila]

I did that :D I knew you could lol but yeah only if your the girl.

I've always wanted to see a TV show about the Jedi Knights from the books.
Corran Horn, Kyp Durron, Kyle Katarn, Saba Sebatyne, people like them...McAvoy and Cook would be old enough to be Jacen and Jaina in the books actually...:csad:

[Eklypze]

yea a tv show would be great if it was based on njo or lotf

[That-Guy]

Am I the only one who thinks that if they ever decide to continue making Star Wars films, they should take place AFTER the the events of Return of the Jedi? Personally, I don't need any more explanations of "what has gone before" especially considering that all of the "old" technology in these prequels looks far superior to what was in the original series.

[GhostPoet]

It'll never happen because...

1) It's a great story.
2) Lucas didn't write it.

I disagree, I want old republic, we've seen so much of the future in books and games, and now we are getting a clone wars tv show, I say lets go back to the Old Republic and see what it was like then, and the Jedi and Sith in them days, like the video games. They had some great villains and characters.

[Gallagher]

I'd really love a Kyle Katarn-centric film now that I think about it :woot:

Dark Forces Trilogy

DF 1, DF2: Jedi Knight and then Jedi Outcast.

Make it so :word:

We've already gotten the Clone Wars tv series. The next thing on the Clonse Wars is going for a theatrical release.

There were rumours of a series set between Episodes 3 and 4. Might that be what you were thinking of?

[My preference would actually be post-RotJ, actually, since there is plenty to draw upon in that time period. However, a setting circa KOTOR would still be nice - better some Star Wars than none at all]

[luca_frontino]

Bump.

[Doctor Jones]

Who the hell suggested these films to be R rated?

[Episode29]

An R-rated Star Wars film? Based on the cheesy KotNR series? Are you trying to kill the franchise further?
