Topic: Star Wars to "Live On"

Well, of course there's going to be more remastering of the films for more money, but...


It seems there will be a continuation of the "Clone Wars" style cartoons as well as some type of Live Action show, similar to the Young Indiana Jones TV show.

I think both could be really interesting if done well and preferrably lacking Jar Jar and the Gungans. Regardless, the animated one I'm sure will do well... the live action, probably not as much. Still, as a fan, I can have hope - right?

No. You can't.

If the animated one keeps the Genndy Tartakovwhoever style, but gets a new and more capable writer, it could be awesome. His style is almost perfect for the type of action and characters inherent to the universe. But his writing sucks Wookiee cock.

It's not something people hear about.

I only thought there were a few episodes that had actual speech. Other than that, I remember most of the episodes having no speech whatsoever, except for the droid army. Like where Mace Windu kicks all sorts of ass in the giant machine that keeps slamming the ground.

Writing involves more than dialogue.

He can't finish a story, and your very example is his worst writing moment in the Clone Wars series. The Force does not a DBZ fighter make. It could've been a great filler between Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith - lord knows one is badly needed, almost a full movie - but instead it just seemed to be a fanfiction put to pencil.

However, his best moment was Shaak-Ti fighting Grievous. Oh snap! That was so badass, in a faithful sense.

Isn't that where Mace Windu used the force to move the entire Droid army or something? You're not really helping yourself here.

I suppose my description was somewhat lacking, so I shall give a rundown of the episode. Mace Windu is off on a planet that somewhat resembles Tatooine (I'm making this reference because the kid looks like a moisture farmer) and proceeds to beat the living crap out of the the droid army using the force. Then after a large floating machine with a giant piston begins to pound the ground and pretty much eliminating the entire republic army and lose his lightsaber in the process. He gets it back after smashing more droids with the force and proceeds to break into the giant floating machine and kill the inhabitants, and it comes crashinhg down in a fiery explosion while the farmer kid is still wathing. Then Mace lands right next to him and the kid offers him a cantine of water. The End.

That a better description?

Think dialogue in one of the other episodes says Windu is on Dantooine for that mission.

Genndy Tartavosky is a great cinematographist. He has an instinctual flair for stuff that makes you go "woah, that was badass" as we can see in Clone Wars and in Samurai Jack.

But yeah, he never finishes anything. Which is aggravating, but I can relate to it. It's a damn shame, though. I would have loved to see some kind of end for Samurai Jack.

Yeah, what did happen with that? The last episode I saw before the time schedule changes in Canada was where Jack goes to this undead city, then I could never find a consistent time the show was on.

I hold out hope for the live action show if they can get some good actors, and not pick a shitty lead which ends up killing the show (see: Star Trek Enterprise and Mr Quantum Leap).

I wonder what the live action show will be about. They say he wants to make something like Young Indiana Jones...

Does this mean we'll be seeing the Adventures of Young Han Solo now?

Word is it won't feature any established characters, and is set between Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope.

So who knows.

Nice.. we might get to see the rise of the Empire's power as a TV series.

Maybe through the eyes of a frieghter crew or something.

I know six people that would kill you for saying that, but I'm inclined to agree.

Maybe it'll be a live action remastering of Droids!
