Didn't everyone like the new Tron?
I see them doing what they did to Tron in terms of GFX.

Disney doesn't Disney-fy everything, they are out to make as much money off as many intellectual properties as they can. Other than porn and splatter flicks Disney has a finger (or a whole hand) in every genre's and target demographic's pie. They've given their various production companies a pretty free hand and the results have been great when you look at companies like Pixar and movies like The Avengers.

My biggest worry is that this new trilogy will, quality-wise, turn into another Pirates of the Carribean. First movie pretty good, some flaws, second one pretty good but the same flaws are still there and are a little bit worse, third movie the flaws are monster size now and the movie is just bad. And please, keep this trilogy a trilogy. If you want to make more Star Wars movies after that, set them in the Old Republic or 100 years after RotJ or something. The story of the Skywalker family (and Han Solo), does it really need more than 9 films (6 films for Han)? Did it really need more than 3 films... but that's just being snarky.

Yeah, hasn't it been known for a long time that there were originally nine movies worth of rough storyline? I was actually wondering when we would see 7-9 like three days ago.

Lucas has said for a long time that he originally envisioned it as 3 trilogies and he had the story of the last 3 worked out, but Disney isn't obligated to use what he thought up. Although I'm sure they'll stick close to the general outline of Lucas' vision.

Yeah, cleary Disney hasn't come with anything new ever.

Not counting all the classic stuff here's a bit of awesome stuff:

- Princess and the frog
- Tangled
- Up
- Pirates of the Caribbean (only basis for this was a ride..which they created...)

I don't even need to list more. Disney is one of, if not THE most innovative entertainment companies of the 20th century... 2D Cartoons that appear to have foreground and backgrounds? First introduced in Snow White? These were possible due to to a Multiplane camera invented by Walt and his staff....

All the insanely innovative rides and attractions at Disney parks around the world?

Disney is the shit, if you hate something they made, chances are you're not in the target demographic for it... (high school musical)

You just can't successfully diss Disney.

Control the media, the entertainment, the news, and the products, and you control everything.

Actually, I'm thinking 7-9 will be far more entertaining than Lucas' versions, were they ever finished. I don't know what the story will be though. I mean, I tried reading up on some Star Wars chronology on wikipedia years ago. There's lots of books and authors, reminds me of comic books. There was a wikipedia summation of one book where like Han's son would go on to become a sith or something... along those lines... That would be within the timeline of 7-9... But so would a lot of shit... Mmm, needs to be a good story to get the casual movie-goer interested. Or explosions. Lots of explosions and space breasts

Not that I disagree with the sentiment that Disney isn't horrible, but Tangled is based off of Rapunzel, is it not?

This for sure -- though some sources are saying that they are planning a brand new trilogy based of Lucas' original script. In Dale Pollocks biography of Lucas he claims to have read the scripts for a 12 part saga that would seem to be a logical fit for Disney to continue with.

Just make bioware do this for a movie.




Btw this can be good reason 1-3 sucked is George Lucas directed it and he's not much of a director or screenwriter, he's an idea person good with the broad strokes. It's why V and VI are the best not directed by Lucas and not mainly screen-written by Lucas.

BioWare writing the story is fine since the first two Knights of the Old Republic were great games. Those three videos were made by Blur Studios. It would be awesome if they ever decide to make a CGI movie, they definitely need to rehire Blur Studios.

Thing is Lucas changes what he says he said. I've seen that trilogy of trilogy quotes brought up before, but it dates pretty far back. For quite some time, he's disowned the statement altogether. I rather imagine he had considered it somewhat at the height of Star Wars/ Empire Strikes Back and had mentioned it once. But perhaps he really had only a vague notion of what went on after Return.

man it's not about canon. I dont know what to say if a StarWars movie doesnt have R2D2, CP3O, Yoda etc in it. It's not the same SW without those iconic characters


The problem with this is that those characters became iconic for reasons beside them just being there in the beginning, they became endearing to us because of the context of the original films which were great movies. Just shoe horning them in like in the prequels does a dis-service to their character.


I very much agree with this. You can see this very problem in many of the later EU books pre-Yuzhan Vong. Every author felt obligated to add a C3P0-R2D2 plot-line and a Lando plot-line. Zahn could deal with them, but other books were atrocious. Lando storyline in Black Fleet Crisis anyone? Now to be fair, if Lando exploring an alien ship was its own book it perhaps could've worked. But the fact that the story never interesected once with anything else made it a big waste of time.

It just clutters the story too much to have characters for the sake of having all the alumni together. That's one of the reasons the X-Wing series and the Shadow of the Empire is so refreshing.

You see the same problem in Pirates 2 and 3. Pintel and Ragetti and the 2 stupid British guards who were funny in the first, but had nothing to do in the 2nd and were just taking up space in the 3rd. The cast get's way too cluttered and you don't have time for new characters. They also add nothing to the story as they're doing the same schtick as before, only we've already seen it. (And Geoffrey Rush got stuck with the lamest crew by the end of the 3rd compared to his bad-ass crew from the first.)

One of the reasons I felt the 4th Pirates was at least a strong attempt to make the series at least somewhat fresh was because they got rid of the fat. Stripping away all the extra characters (including the romantic leads who's story arc was actually finished by the end of the first) left more time for other characters- unfortunately Jack isn't perhaps the best character to base a story around, but that's something else entirely.

So if they do jump into the future and skip the Thrawn Trilogy, it would be best to have a handful of alumni characters for continuity/ the passing of the torch, but not have the ENTIRE old cast show up. (Part of the problem with the prequels is the entire universe started feeling really small because everyone had met in a previous life/ generation. (I would've been happy if C3P0 and R2 were introduced in Revenge.)


edit.
For Pixar connections- what about Brad Bird? He hasn't done sci-fi yet, but in my opinion he is a very strong story-teller.

I hope it makes a movie that looks nothing like something Disney produced!
