I wonder what Mark Hamil would look like if he slim down and got into shape.

Yeah I heard that straight from the horses mouth in an obscure interview many years ago, but thought he was lying just to sell people the new altered versions.
2 thoughts:
1) I hope this means they take a lot of control from Lucas. I'm crossing my fingers so hard I think I just broke them.
2) If it's anything like I-II-III I'm not seeing them. I don't want Lucas to kill my imagination, because what little imagination I have I'm sure it's still better than what he would achieve.

An old man.
Thread ruined forever.
A big mistake? (Granted, for a number of reasons, but kid-ifying them for merchandise sales is certainly one of them)
He doesnt need to get into shape, if anything he'd most likely appear in an Obi-Wan / Old Spock kind of way.

Considering how well Disney handled Marvel Franchises I'm pretty excited about this.

Fuck Lucas, Fuck Disney
Don't even.
How is that even possible? The prints were fully restored for use in the special editions in 1997. It's only been 15 years since, how badly could those restored prints have degraded?

I honestly never thought a new trilogy would be announced in my lifetime, at least at this point.
Your avatar excites me.

And this is Star Wars, the franchise has remained massive since creation. Merchandising was never an issue, that's my point. You can make everyone happy.

Harry potter is an "all ages" film, as i expect this would be. How could it not be? it's source material are young adult novels.
Star wars is a different animal, and disney is likely aware of this, having taken a long hard look at merchandise sales.
Say what you will about Cameron, but he'd be the perfect fit for the Original trilogy-style Star Wars. I mean, he entered the film industry after he had seen it in 1977. It's certainly one of his biggest influences and it's pretty obvious Avatar was his attempt to create a similar type of legacy.
Sorry but he's automatically disqualified. Anyone who cuts/replaces the best passage from the Avatar score isnt qualified to direct a Star Wars film.
i'll never forgive him that

Cameron's got a bigger sci-fi money-maker on his hands right now. And it's one he has complete control over. He ain't doing anything SW.

No he wouldn't be, lol. Cameron can't write characters like those from the original trilogy (neither can Lucas, he he he..).

god I hope we get Avatar and Star Wars in the same year, somehow, I need to see the result of that
Because EA shot The Old Republic in the back of the fucking head, that's why.

he has an (original) war machine avatar. That character predates the disney buyout by quite a bit. he gets a pass.

So I would pretty much die if they released an actual movie of this:
Dash Render on the big screen..... making my dream come true... what year did that come out on N64? best. game. ever.

they're summer popcorn movies, as star wars is.
They're not aiming to make gone with the wind or ben hur out of these, they're looking to put as many butts in seats as possible, and then get them to all buy merchandise.
in that sense, Iron man (2), Avengers, and to a lesser extent Cap and Thor were wildly successful.

You should go back and play it sometime....... It's pretty aged and hard to appreciate now.

James Cameron is busy with his own epic sci-fi saga with Avatar, so I don't know why people talk if he can even do Star Wars. He has full control over the former to boot.

Shadows of the Empire is a book. The game was based on it.

Talk of keeping Star Wars consistent is kind if ironic considering how Lucas hasn't been able to stop himself from monkeying around with the original trilogy. He's erased at least two original actors (Anakin and the voice of Boba Fett). He's destroyed some of the series' finest scenes with inane additions like Darth Vader's "No...nooo!" in the Blu-ray version of the ROTJ finale. Since Star Wars Special Edition, he's shown no respect for his own material, except when it comes to jealously guarding it from the creative input of other people. He has no ear for dialogue, no sense for a balanced story, and no grasp of what made the original trilogy so good. All of which is illustrated by the prequel trilogy.
Maybe Disney's acquisition of Lucasfilm will mark a change in the downward trajectory of the franchise. New movies with less input from Lucas could be exactly what Star Wars needs to regain its original height.

Singer? This is the dude that directed Xmen AND X2, and wrote "First class."
star wars would be EXTREMELY lucky if it turned out as good as those last two.
I hate that distinction so much. I know you're talking in terms of money and stuff, but Star Wars is just a good film—period. We shouldn't have to say "it's good for a [big-budget genre here] film." No reason why we shouldn't be able to put Star Wars and Gone With the Wind (the two best selling films of all time anyways) against one another. The summer blockbuster did not exist before Star Wars and Jaws; Lucas and Spielberg just went out to make a good films; that's exactly how this should be approached.
Disagree with the bolded, but other than that, you're off to a good start.
I'm okay with this.
Disney has a pretty good record lately of not screwing up their established tentpole franchises. So this should be better than the prequel trilogy anyway.
And as much as the prequel trilogy and Indy 4 were disappointing, Lucas still had some cool action sequences and some good ideas that just needed to be improved upon. I'm sure there's things to build upon there.
The big questions are who writes, who directs, and how far after ROTJ it's set. I would hope they go off in a more original direction to some extent.
