Meh, I'd still buy a ticket.

That doesn't mean it's a new trilogy. Lucas loves making those animated crapfests that add new toys characters to the universe.

Star Wars Episode VII: The Rapening of the Multibrazilian Dollar Movie Empire

Horseshiat. He's blind, after all.

And probably dumb.

Makes perfect sense if you look two threads below this one.

I'm an adult, so this news doesn't bother me so much.

Also, Dolby corrected himself before the link even got greenlit:

"A slight correction about the Lucas thing that my friend Paul Sebastien pointed out to me: he's actually not aware of any movie plans, and was just talking about the live action TV show that George had talked about in an interview with an Australian TV station a while back. Paul is only working on the games side, and I know from past experience that he's very professional and discrete, and would never leak confidential secrets, even to a close friend.

Sorry to throw a bucket of water on it, Star Wars fans: I should have chosen my words more carefully given the ultra-sensitivity of your blogosphere!"

Just what we need another crappy star trek movie.

Dolby's overrated.

Seriously. One hit, and that's kinda meh after hearing it more than five times. Never thought I could find electronic music boring; saw him live ages ago and couldn't believe how uninteresting his stuff was.

Before everyone starts screaming how much of a groundbreaker he was/is, there are tons more artists out there who did more before his time, and kept the music interesting.

The English Major: strangeguitar: Lt. Cheese Weasel: Star Wars: A New Sith Dark Lord.


Darth Jar-Jar.

Be afraid, very afraid.
A Sith never takes his old name and just adds Darth to it.
In Jar-Jar's case he would be Darth farked-up-the-prequels

I was thinking Darth Douche.

Darth Offensive Racial Stereotypes

Annoying Side Darth?

Someones friend is working on something?

STOP THE PRESSES!

OtherLittleGuy: Darth Looka-Me-All-Sparkly-Ani?

/buk

For one disturbing moment I thought that read as
/bunk
//As in 'I'll be in my bunk'

Subby fails, if you look at the blog it was already retracted as a mistake in the wording.

MacEnvy: Meh, I'd still buy a ticket.

You sound American.

The English Major:

But it would be great to see Zahn's Thrawn Trilogy adapted to the big screen.

I don't want to sound like a dick but the 2nd dumbest thing said in every SW thread is making a movie out of Zahn's first trilogy. Did you read it? Luuke and dogs that eat the force and hot chocolate with Lando and a huge number of dumb-ass things. We look back with with rose-colored glasses, it was the first SW thing released in about a decade, it seemed cool because we had nothing else. Thrawn was needlessly stupid. the empire has always been written as hugely xenophobic, if Thrawn had something special about him besides being a great tactician, you know something alien and unique, then fine make him an alien. To make him an alien with benefits that would make the Empire overlook their xenophobic tendencies would make sense.

The dumbest thing said in these threads, but luckily not today, is some jerk-off regurgitating Joseph Campbell's wiki page like they're some doctoral student and the first to ever discover the guy's work.

Also, on point to TFA, the dude's friend is working for Lucasfilm doing stuff for movies, video games, and tv shows. Did you see any movies this year? Lucasfilm had their hands in most of them through ILM, LF animation, skywalker sound, and the like.

The English Major: MacEnvy: Meh, I'd still buy a ticket.

So would I. Sadly. And I'm sure I'll watch the TV show. Hell, for a Christmas tree decorating contest, I went with Happy Holidays from Hoth.


Not me. I refuse to be part of the problem. I will never ever buy so much as one more ticket to a Star Wars or Indiana Jones movie. I'm done with giving money to that greedy dillhole.

If something Star Wars related comes out that I'm interested in I'll pirate it if I really need to see it. But between the thorough and savage raping he gave Indiana Jones (monkeys with farking pompadours? REALLY George, you douche?) and the utter crushing disappointment of the prequels (#3, the best of them, was still lousy)... yeah, fark George Lucas. he already has way too much of my money. I won't let him have any more.

MacEnvy: Meh, I'd still buy a ticket.

YOU'RE PART OF THE PROBLEM!

I won't give that farker another cent of my money.

The English Major: Rev. Skarekroe: I suspect it's either another cartoon movie or else Mr. Dolby is just confused.

If it's animated, we'd better not get Truman Capote the Hutt again.

But it would be great to see Zahn's Thrawn Trilogy adapted to the big screen.

Fail. No one want's "Lu-uke" or stupid creatures tat negate the force.

Retarded.

I have a bad feeling about this.

sounds like Thomas Dolby got a little Hyperactive when he made the original post

Despite how much the last three movies sucked, a Force Unleashed film would kick ten kinds of ass.

If anything, a Knights of the Old Republic animated film would make the most sense, what with the MMORPG coming out soon

whistleridge: On the third point: no way in hell does Lucas ever make an SW storyline that he himself didn't write. Cool or not, it's just not going to happen.

Leigh Brackett and Lawrence Kasdan would like to have a word with you (yes, I know the basic idea is still Lucas, but they wrote the screenplay and most of it is their work, hence why it's the best movie).

SCIENCE!

The English Major: I still haven't seen the new Indiana Jones movie.


DO NOT. What has been seen cannot be unseen!

It was literally one of the worst movies I've ever seen in my entire life. None of it made any sense (really? an entire platoon or two of Russian soldiers traipsing about with impugnity on American soil in our COMPLETELY unguarded and unstaffed secret military installations during teh height of the Cold War? Complete with rocket and thermonuclear bomb tests that are not being babysat by a single researcher or even intern? Really, George? REALLY you twatwaffle?), they beat you over the head with every movie cliche in the book, the MacGuffin was the most BS POS MacGuffin in history (no matter what the situation the MacGuffin ALWAYS had a mysterious power to advance the plot and get them out of their jam. ALWAYS.), it was ham-handed in every possible way, there were superfluous shots that were just put in there to just cram in that one more SFX shot (it's Indiana Jones, not farking Star Wars!)... Fark... the complaints just go on and on and on...

As bad as I'm describing - it was worse. Much worse. You'll curse yourself for not heeding my advice if you do break down and see it.

And please, please just make sure to DL it, and not to purchase or rent it if you really MUST scar yourself like that. But just remember... you cannot unsee what has been seen!

"SCIENCE!" shouts aside, this is the guy who wrote "One Of Our Submarines", which is probably my favorite song, period, bar none. He deserves from credit for that.
