So why didn't he find Vaders son when he was just a baby and be done with the whole thing? Seriously, he controls a whole Galaxy and has the power to influence pretty much everyone.

Why does he even need a Death Star? Just get a hundred ships to blast the living crap out of the planet from orbit.

Just seems stupid that a Galaxy wide Empire is defeated by Ewoks.


Also I am talking about the movies themselves. I know there are books and comics and so on. But the movies themselves make no sense at all IMO.

Shia Labeouf want to pay off his mortgage

Is that who'd play Indi?

He played his son in the last son film, so I'd assume that he would take the lead off Harrison (it leaves open a reboot option in five years, unlike Harrison Ford)

Don't underestimate the power of the force.

Finally someone else on these forums who has read the Star Wars books, I'd have to say that this is the universe I am the biggest nerd about. I personally think that Darth Sidious and Darth Vader were inferior compared to some of the Sith who came before, notably Darth Bane and Darth Zannah.

There are well over a hundred books set in this universe spanning from 5000 years before the Battle of Yavin(BBY) to 43 years after(ABY) and that's not including the comics.
He didn't find Luke because he was being hidden by two powerful Jedi Masters and the galaxy in Star Wars is a damn big place. http://www.starwarsmap.com/official_star_wars_galaxy_map_picture_image_photo_pic_pix_photograph/star_wars_map_star_wars_galaxy_map_official_galactic_map_star_wars_universe_1.jpg shows just some of the better known planets.

He wants to build a Death Star as a terror weapon, Tarkin explains this in Episode IV. Saying you have a fleet that contains thousands of powerful ships that could burn entire continents to ash is a bit less intimidating saying you have a moon sized space station that could completely destroy a planet.

The Empire wasn't defeated by Ewoks, what happened in Episode VI was the destruction of the Death Star, the deaths of Palpatine and Vader and a portion of the Imperial fleet. The Empire was never really defeated in the books, it just became smaller with less influence and eventually signed a treaty with the New Republic(Rebel Alliance).

So [censored]ing on the interent does make a difference

The film series makes plenty of sense, you're just overanolyzing them. There's far too much material for everything to be explained in a single two hour sitting, so viewers are given the essential setup via the opening crawl and then the film itself focuses on key events. One thing to keep in mind is that both film trilogies are the story of Anakin Skywalker, not of the the Star Wars universe in its entirety. That's why the Expanded Universe exists in the first place, to shed a light on everything that the films couldn't/didn't have to.

For all those people who said Karma doesnt exist, see it does, were finally saved from the torture of anymore star wars, if theres not enough bad films making more star wars and making it worse is something we dont really need.

Now we can only hope they get rid of 3D films, and hopefully no Avatar 2.

Good! Let someone else take up star wars. You never know, it might actually become the hit it once was again. Sometimes all you need is a fresh mind to get it rolling.

I get the feeling George Lucas will make anyone wanting to even say Star Wars take the rights over his dead body.

I hope you're ready to argue your point for the other hundreds of movies out there that don't make sense, too.

3D in film will either die or improve, either way I'm happy.

Avatar is the highest grossing movie of all time, of course there is going to be an Avatar 2 and I for one am looking forward to it. Cameron has also said that there is going to be third one as well.

Yeah, I agree that he's always had these problems but I also think it's his oversized ego that gave him the idea of star wars in the first place. Star Wars is very epic, pompous and to some extent pretentious. It's good vs evil, with a whole galaxy at stake. I think it's very risky to make movies out of an idea like that, they could've easily fallen flat on their faces (and many would argue that some of the sw movies do fall flat on their faces). It takes guts to make movies like that, so I'm kinda glad he had an ego big enough to think he could pull it off. Sure, I don't really like many of his movies, and their remastering is not really impressive, but among all that unimpressive work we got Episodes IV and V which are, imo, sf masterpieces.

It has less to do with literal meaning and the way it sounds, star war does not sound as good as star wars. or stars war which sounds worse, even though that is the more literal way of discribing the series.

Edit: also, stars war sounds like something that would have to do with netflix streaming

Seeing as the republic, the empire and the seperatists are made up of many planets and governments it is many wars between them, and it sounds less silly than Star War as Mirglof said

They're [censored] him! OH GOD! Someone stop him, he is [censored] him!! Ahhh jesus help him

To be honest as much as I think a star wars trilogy based on those would be good, I wouldn't want George Lucas to be in charge. I don't think he's up to the job personally

I think Peter Jackson might make a great job of directing/producing. A writer of the good novels could write the screenplay.

Him or Chris Nolan.

or maybe a new space saga that is equally great or is even better than star wars?

He seems to be obsessed with marketing to ages 13 and under

Pretty much why I dislike his approach. His original idea was good but his execution of it over Episodes 1-3 were a bit....... soft

Thats because it would gather more profits as it's targeting a bigger age range, kind of how PG films profit more than 18+

I agree with you, as I think the best Star Wars material was created by people other than Lucas, but I think he is going to be too vindictive to let anyone else make any Star Wars films or TV series.
