I hate the prequels and the re-issues of the originals. If anything, cancel the clone wars show and focus on old republic, force unleashed, the comedy show and the live-action show for a few years and then reboot the original film for IMAX digital 3D so future generations can actually grow with a good movie.

[...] trailer, along with the one below debuted at E3 where at the same time last year, we saw the first incredible trailer for The Old Republic. At the time, our own Rob Keyes wrote about it explaining why it’s better [...]

I think Lucas should do either the sequel trlogy(Episodes VII-IX) and bring Mark Hamill back as an older,wiser Luke Skywalker traning a new generation of Jedi Knights and having new adventures and enemies set against the backdrop of the rebuilding of the republic as was promised back in the late 70′s and throughout the 80′s with Luke’s son or gifted protege as the lead hero flying the Millennium Falcon inherited from Han Solo or let J.J. Abrams do the sequel trilogy or a reboot trilogy or sexology or even nonology with not only Luke’s backstory but Leia’s and especially Han’s story of how he met Chewie,won the Falcon from Lando and made the Kessel Run in less than 12 parsecs etc. Leading up to the Death Star battle with both Luke and Leia flying X-Wings and the series continue with Luke and Leia becoming Jedi Knights by the end of the trilogy confronting Darth Vader and in another trilogy become Masters and train a new order of Jedi Knights and fight the last remnants of the Empire led by an intergalactic terrorist also have Han and Leia married and have the twins Jacen and Jaina and Luke meet and marry Mara Jade the former Emporer’s Hand and at the end give birth to a son Ben Skywalker and confront the Emporer similar to the Thrawn trilogy and Dark Empire.

Then do a final trilogy with the adventures of Luke and his son Ben facing the Yuuzha Vong,Luke’s old Sith Lady Nemesis Lumiya(from the Marvel Comics SW series of the late 70′s/early 80′s) and Han and Leia’s son Jacen as a Sith Lord or even the being Aboleth from the SW novel series’ The New Jedi Order,Legacy of the Force and Fate of the Jedi.

I can say that I’m old enough to remember seeing the original 1977 version of STAR WARS at the theaters. Not long afterwards, there was an interview on NPR Radio with George Lucas, and the interviewer (can’t remember his name) asked what the ‘Episode 4′ meant. Lucas went on to say(and can be confirmed through many sources) about his plans to possibly created 9 movies set to the title ‘STAR WARS- EPISODE’ then the number then something like ‘A NEW HOPE, RISE OF THE EMPIRE, FALL OF THE JEDI’ and such.

NINE MOVIES.

But when he was confronted about this in 1997, he calmed that he NEVER said those things. He also said that he would NEVER bring his original movies to DVD (at the time, he got burned on the laser disk because they were too big and didn’t play well). But after years of hounding him to do the movies, he puts out the prequels that DID NOT live up to the original story. Many believed that he was under pressure by not only the fans, but his own daughters (of whom wanted the BACKSTREET BOYS in ATTACK OF THE CLONES) and TWENTIETH CENTURY FOX to finish it. Lucas has went on to say that he wouldn’t do any more movies OR T.V. because he didn’t trust anyone with keeping true to the story….
…and yet…
…there’s the animated series CLONE WARS, and the (possible) live-action STAR WARS T.V. show.
So MY question is- should George Lucas trust others to bring out the TRUE story of STAR WARS to the big and little screens? Yes, yes he should….because everyone else seems to be doing a better job than him.

But that might be just ME thinking that.

I think they need to go backwards with Star Wars. We know who Vader is now. They told his story. They should instead do a prequel prequel trilogy like “Knights of the Old Republic” era where there were tons of Jedi and Sith. Kinda explain the origins. Just imagining seeing Yoda on the big screen (a much younger yoda) fighting sith with his crazy lightsaber style brings me hope…

That kid from The Phantom Menace who played young Anakin gives me a migraine every time I try and watch it. Revenge Of The Sith darker and much better.

But this trailer makes them all look like bad B-movies! WOW!!!

That’s a fantastic trailer! That’s the Star Wars in remember. Seeing that trailer gives me hope that the franchise could make a triumphant return; it’s only a matter of when or how.

If Lucas could make movies like that bring it on.

WOw that was pretty sweet, better than the entire latest trilogy. Its astounding to see the influence of Guelermo Del Toro in media these days, fans of his work should be able to spot it.

I think the trilogy, latest one, should be rebooted and reimagined like this.

WOW!

I’ve been a defender of the Prequels, but this is just sick.
THIS is what the Order 66 scene SHOULD have looked like in Revenge of the Sith…damn!

Star Wars has got to go down that route, much darker and nastier would be so much more fun. Loved how Vadar looked, we should get to see that in a movie.

Lucas get your act together and make one like that.

That trailer was great.

I think Lucas has just lost his edge with most of the content of the prequels.

But Revenge of the Sith was good.

your so right,thats why i traded all of my star wars films for the terminator films to my younger brother,that trailer was bad azz,and they need to make movies dark and gritty,well thought out,good acting,and great story,the fx have to be spectacular and the scenes were the slow down in the fight scenes were awesome. star wars im afraid is threw unless they strat makeing films a little gritty and dark like dark knight and x-men 1,and 2 ,then they will dwindle away.

No idea on the Star Destroyes, but did notice the similarities. Even something like the Tie fighters.
Can only assume these are the way Sith ships are and Sidious used the designs for the Republic’s new fleet.

Also, is that Boba Fett’s great grandmother?

Ditto to what Andy S said. I love both worlds but the prequels for SW were horrible; except SW 3 was watchable (best of the prequels, IMHO).

man i’ve never been a fan of either star wars or star trek, i found both boring i’m sorry but that’s how i felt… but had they made this into a movie i would have been there for the premiere based on this trailer alone.Only thing i ever liked about star wars… “Yoda” and of course “The green light saber”. After that those movie made me sleep… i always remembered waking up to luke destroying the death star then me thanging the channel. Whoever did this trailer deserves a chance i think at one of the movies or at least the battle scene of one of the movies…
