Re: Star Wars Episode VII

Yeah, but even that instance I think he read the outline for the story and gave the ok for that. The idea he sits down and reads the whole book is what I highly doubt.

heh! you and I are on the same track and posting the same idea at the same time! I'll stand down as I can only say I have your back on all of this! opcorn

Re: Star Wars Episode VII

In one of those CW DVD extras, Feloni mentions that Fett is dead, and GL says "no, he isn't". So in GL's mind, Fett got out.

Re: Star Wars Episode VII

Look. It's pretty clear that George actually founded the Indiana Jones Institute for Organizational Planning. So, I don't frankly give a rat's ass what he says is canon on any particular day, considering he'll just change his mind 2 years down the road.

"Han shot first."

"Wait, no, Greedo clearly shot first and missed."

"Wait, no, they both fired at the same time almost."

For all we know, he might have decided (and I suppose might still decide, if he has any input into the existing films) that Han didn't shoot AT ALL, and instead, Greedo is the world's worst and least lucky shot, as he fires a shot which bounces off Han's belt-buckle, ricochets off of the ceiling, and hits himself dead between the eyes, just as a sad trombone sound effect plays.


If George can't be arsed to stick with his own canon, then I can't be arsed to treat it as such.

Do you recall which season? I would like to go back and hear that. Ceratinly that puts a fine point on this sidetrack discussion. :thumbsup

I have heard Lucas say something about Boba not dying, but cant remember where...

I think this will be a very interesting point to keep an eye on as these films develop. If I had to hazard a guess, beyond these story treatments he has apparently handed over to Kennedy, I think his involvement will be more hands off then it is currently with the CLONE WARS. They would likely go to him for his thoughts on aspects of story and I have no doubt his opinion will carry a TON of weight, but I don't foresee him being invovlved much beyond that.

Re: Star Wars Episode VII

uh, okay. :lol George Lucas is indeed a fan to be sure!
Lucas approved the eu novels but he didn't help write them as he has with CW. What GL touches is gold...well, copper... maybe shiney aluminum but its authentic pedigree GL Star Wars to me! :love

Han shot first.

Re: Star Wars Episode VII

Fett blasting his way out of the Sarlacc pit would put the taint of Fan Fiction on the upcoming film(s) - We'll do it because fans like him is never a reason to commit because fans are fickle - for the one way you see it as right there are a million ways it could be done where it registers as wrong. Alan Moore once said something to the tune of this - the audience is the audience for a reason - they aren't storytellers, nor should they act like it. They stand in line, pay their money and sit and wait to see not what they could have come up with on their own, but to be surprised and surpassed by a story that hit them on a level that they themselves weren't expecting.

Bringing Maul back comes from the man who also put "Nooooooo" in Return of the Jedi, wrote the line "I hate you" as Anakin's last words to Obi Wan as he burns to a crisp, wrote for C 3PO to say: Help I've fallen and can't get up! -- and the band plays on - Bringing back Fett - George is stupid enough to do it - but doesn't mean it should be done - in fact if George wants to do it I say it proves opposite.

Re: Star Wars Episode VII

Ya, I think he treated and satisfied the fan's hunger for Boba Fett by creating Jango Fett and that is that. Not sure there is much of a need for Boba to return. I'm sure we will get plenty of new characters to fandomize (if that can be a word for this post) in the new films without having to regurgitate previous minor characters.

Re: Star Wars Episode VII

Assuming fett lived, he was what?15 during AOTC? At ROTS he'd be 17? ANH 35, ROTJ 40.

E7 being 30 years later put him in his 70's. He's not going to be in the suit at 70.


As for the discussion during the CW extras, well, it'd be interesting to hear the context. If it's a CW discussion, then no Fett wouldn't be dead.

Maybe he has a few kids and got his own reality show. Tatooine Shore? Keeping Up With The Mandalorians?

Re: Star Wars Episode VII

Fett returning does not necessarily mean Fett must return as a Bounty hunter in his physical prime. He could be the powerful head of an organization or something.

And who says the new movies must be 30 years after ROTJ? We assume that, we do not know that. It could be much earlier. I agree a few decades later is likely but that is not assured.

Re: Star Wars Episode VII

Linear thinking... one season does not equal a year in battle, nor is one season even a year as there are only 22 episodes per season!
so that would only be 22 days of adventure within a year's time... so in 5 seasons we'll have only had 110 episodes which isn't even a year of war yet! If we were to see 365 days of battle we would have had 1825 episodes by now!

from the wiki it says Star Wars creator George Lucas says "there will be at least 100 episodes produced".... well,we have surpasssed that!

Linear thinking perhaps, the upshot is, you're saying this crap happens to them every single day????????

That's even more hokey.....

Think Rich... real hard.... 22 episodes a year. spread those out over a year each year and you still only have 110 "days of war" shown so far... how hard is that to figure out?

I Didn't say this happens every day. I said IF we had 365 days of fighting shown we would have had 1825 episodes so far which obviously was a joke! how could you not get that? :lol what is hokey is your line of thought when you said "weren't the Clone Wars 3 years long? Then how come the cartoons are now on season 5? (5 years) ...or are we expected to believe that all this outlandish, indulgent animation is squeezed into a 3 year period?"
Well, with 22 episodes per season clearly this show can easily go on for many more years and still not fill up a 3 year time period. Not to mention when a story arc or single adventure is shown for a character or set of characters on a given day or days it doesnt' show what is happening in another part of the galaxy with other characters on the same day or days which can be shown as seperate episodes. We could have 55 episodes in a year for 5 years and still not cover a three year war!

Hell, MASH ran for what, 4x the length of the actual Korean War if done be seasons.

You are obviously a staunch defender of the animated stuff, and i'd love to see your well thought out definitive timeline.opcorn

Notice i wasn't rude? Nor condescending?

I got full closure on Fett by watching Robot Chicken SW I, II & III ! Remember it was fully approved by GL :lol

Being an old Temura (i forget his last name) sitting around as a commander would kill the character frankly. The PT killed a lot of him by explaining too much. Not to mention neither he or his father are portrayed as being able to deal with a group. They''ve always worked alone.
