Star Wars Summit 11/05


Recommended Posts

Summit NEWS at AICN!!!

The marketing timeline for Star Wars is as follows - This week, The Clone Wars, then the original Star Wars trilogy is being released September 2004, then Episode 3 teaser advertising begins in January of 2005, Episode 3 May 2005, Episode 3 DVD/VHS November 2005. One little fun fact - seems that they have TWO Star Wars television ideas floating around the ranch...one would be animation and the other - LIVE ACTION. These television projects would be in 2006. Let's hope they're better than the Star Wars Christmas Special, or those Ewok films.

But the REAL meat and potatoes was the Episode 3 footage! Some cool as hell stuff. Anakin is looking darker than ever. Dark clothes, with what appears to be some scars on his face. They showed one seen with Obi-Won, The Emperor and Anakin crashing their ship into a planet as the ship burns.

They showed some animation of what will be OB1's transportation at one point in the film. A large lizard that's able to walk upside down and scale walls.

*minor spoilers*

Oh - and they showed some green screen footage of the final lightsaber fight between Obi-Won and Anakin. It looked colossal. The lightsaber fight to end all lightsaber fights. Evil wins, we all know that. The intensity with which the two were fighting was phenomenal. Seems the final battle takes place on a lava planet, and at one point the two are hoping back and forth on hovercrafts floating over the lava.

B-)

So, do you think they will add more new stuff in to the original trilogies?

My assumption is that Lucas won't touch the movie itself (I think he stated that before) but to add features like deleted scenes or the making of. I also want Lucas to do the same as the Indiana Jones Trilogy DVD as all three movies were digitally restored for clearer picture.

I think Lucas has wanted to fix them up a bit more before releasing them on DVD, but I don't know if that is the case. Let's hope he/they will at least make the CG scenes look less crappy. Jabba in Episode IV SE is downright laughable.

Even though it won't be the original cuts, I'm still gonna buy them. It's better than nothing, right?

Let's hope they release a real luxurious box (like some of the Laserdisc releases were). Not just regular keep-cases with the same style covers as Ep I and II.

excuse moi my ignorance, but is it SW a trilogy of trilogies, or am I wrong?

I mean, Star Wars Episode 1 to 3 (in production) , then the 4- 6 (sw, empire strikes back, return of the jedi the 70's-80's saga) and the 7 to 9 (in Lucas dreams).

There won't be any 7-9. Episode III will be the last Star Wars movie (at least until Lucas feels he needs some money for a new house or something).
