Dawn of the Jedi
A Series set at pretty much the beginning of a galaxy far far away, about how the first Jedi came to being and learnt the ways of the force. Could be so epic, amazing if done right
2# New Jedi Order, this is a series I read and loved and while the new series will most likely be something unrelated to the books, I can still dream can’t I? the Yuuzhan Vong have invaded the “Star wars Galaxy and seek the conquer it, and redeem it of it’s abominations, namely technology. This was overall a amazing series spanning around 20 novels, which is really long, but a lot of it was filler and not all of it was great, so it could be reorganized a bit, it also features awesome characters like Luke Skywalker, Leia Solo, Han solo, Mara Jade Skywalker (Luke’s wife and Jedi Master ) and the solo Children. Jaina, Jacen and Anakin Solo, this series was very epic, very character driven, which Is something which was greatly lacking from even the Original Trilogy. It was also very graphic and would be hard to tone down to a PG-13 level (It wouldn't need to be imo but mainstream audiences might not be so eager to see something Star Wars with an “R“ rating strapped to it .” let alone PG. I think it would work best as a tv-series, which would be fine by me, if they could get a big enough budget for it.
3# The Knights of the Old Republic, this is actually based on a video game, one of the best video Games ever though, and with surprising depth to it, taking place about 5,000 years before The rise of the Empire, it is when the Republic at war with the sith, which are not all sith (as in force users) a film wouldn’t necessarily take to be based directly on the video game, and with the new MMO “The Old Repbulic” it would be awesome to have a story-line taking place around this era.
4# George’s 7 8 and 9. Now, I love the books taking place after The Return of the JedI, but I still would be very interested in seeing what he had in Mind, for after the empire was defeated. And Imagine, if you could actually get the original cast back ? Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher, and Harrison Ford as old and wise, and Carrie Marks part Jedi Masters. Could be awesome, just not Jar Jar, and more character development please. Of course it could be pretty much anything maybe taking place hundreds of years after “Jedi” and Focusing on one of Lukes descendants.
5# The Thrawn Trilogy and Hand of Thrawn duelgy. Written by Timothy Zhan and the first book published in 1991, over 20 years ago now, It was the fist star wars novels to continue the stories of Luke, Leia and Han solo, and it received praise by critics and fans alike, winning numerous awards and becoming a instant best seller, and it introduces iconic villain Grand Admiral Thrawn, a Imperial leader with ingenious battles tactics and master mind intellect, it would also introduce Mara Jade, one of the most well known and beloved Star wars EU characters, of course they would have to recast the actors, which would be hard but not Impossible cause it takes place only 5 years after RotJ, I certainly wouldn't be crying if this was it, this would be most fans obvious choice and perhaps the safest bet, but they don’t seem to be going that direction. L
6# The Force Unleashed, This is also a video game, but taking place in-between episode IV and V so it would be more like Episode 111 ½. , about Vader’s secret apprentice, unlike some material it is actually official star wars canon, the actor Sam Witwer, looked like the character, and is still young enough to play him, not to mention he is a pretty decent actor, it may be the best story out there, but it is good, and some killer force using could be seen. I wouldn't mind seeing this on the big screen.
7# something completely new, focusing on new characters in a timeline unexplored, maybe hundreds of years after the fall of the empire, would give writers lots of room to work with, but this would mean putting a lot of trust in whatever direction they are wanting to go, they have a whole galaxy to play with. And lots of possibilities, but not all are good.
Also wouldn't mind seeing adoptions of “Courtship of Princess Leia” “Legacy of the Force” Fate of the Jedi” “Young Jedi Knights, and “The Old Republic: Deceived” amazing book and works great as a stand alone) Jedi Academy Trilogy,
I hear Shadows of the Empire is good too, although I haven’t got a chance to read it yet.
Oh and Shadow Games, was an awesome book!”
Just some thoughts on where they could go with this
What are yours?
In a stunning turn of events, George Lucas as made a announcement, to beat all other announcements.
Well for one thing he's retiring, next he's sold Lucasfilm to Disney.
and last but not least. they are coming out with more star wars movies!!!
Yes you heard it, thought your adventures in a galaxy far far away, were over? well think again, cause they are planing to release a new trilogy starting in 2015. with films after to follow every 2 or 3 years, this is what I was hoping for George to say, to realize that the star wars universe is far to big to be contained in six films, that it is ongoing and a cannon that should be treated like "Marvel" where stories can take place in the galaxy far far away and focus on different characters and story-lines, the launch date set is ironically the same year, as the sequel for the record breaking "Avengers". and the presumed launch date for the Justice League movie, not to mention the year, Avatar 2 is suppose to be released. this is great new for (most) Star Wars fans! it's what I've been dying to hear ever sense Revenge of the Sith hit theaters seven years ago and I was waiting in line for six hours to see the premiere, of course now that I'm older I see the faults in the prequels, bad dialog, stiff acting and lacking something that was in the OT. I do think "Sith" is still a great movie and was a vast improvement upon the other prequels. but let's just say I'm hoping these new movies will be more "Empire" and Less "Menace". so I So I wanted to explore on what new Films I think should be made, now that my dreams have became a reality, and on a side note, I know I never finished, my Top 5 movies of the summer, got side tracked I guess, so I'll list them briefly.
2# The Dark Knight Rises, Exceeding my expectations in every way amazing film!
1# The Avengers, Loved it, incredible amazing film, I'm currant favorite film of all time right now,
I'm planing on a top ten films of 2012 or something like that so I'll evaluate more, on "Avengers when I do that"
But I'll have my Ideas for what they should make in my next post.
May the Force Be with you always..

Now, if you Already Read my Review of the Amazing Spider-Man, you know I loved it,whats different about this is I wasn't expecting to. I mean an re-boot after only five years?!, Because Emma Stone wasn't in it I least it would be a alright film. and while it's far from perfect, (the whole mutating lizards thing was a little cheesy if you asked me) the characters were so likable that you couldn't help but enjoy the film, namely Peter Parker, Played by Andrew Garfield who stole the show in the role. and Gwen Stacy (how could you not love Emma Stone this role? or any role for that matter.) so this I what I would call the Surprise hit of the summer for me, thought it would be okay, turned out being a real treat, and I am awaiting it's arivial to Dvd just before my birthday. ;D

Okay, I know I've been taking forever to reel these out so I’m going to try and finish them up quick

I wasn't really sure if this would be good or not upon first hearing it, and then last Christmas seeing the teaser had me very interested and the theatrical was even better, and then I saw it, visually it was one of the best movies I've ever seen, the 3D was one of the best takes yet, it looked stunning, story wise was a bit more disappointing , there was a lot of stuff not fully explained and some things, that just plan obviously could not be possible even in Sc-if. Like Elizabeth having a sea section and then run all over the place hours later. For some reason that didn't bother me as much as it might other people, so overall I really found this a very enjoyable film. Vary flawed but enjoyable.
