He'd be a bit young for that, tho........

In Ep2 he was. But there's been like 5-10 years between Ep2 and Ep3. So he'd be like 16-20. Which is plenty old enough to become a bounty hunter.

Skywalker was already practically a Jedi Knight by the time he was 20-ish.

3 years, apparently - I remebered seeing something on this site; http://www.theforce.net/episode3/jtf/timeline.shtml about it in one of my insomnia-induced web surfing sessions.

Well that's just ****ing retarded.

Then again, They™ said Phantom Menace was going to be good, so They™ could be wrong about this too.

The commander of the Corellian Corvette wasn't Wedges father, his whole family was killed early into the rebellion. I think that the last name Antellis (sp?) is a fairly common last name in the SW universe, like Jonhson or Anderson and the like. And Boba Fett had a few lines in the classic SW movies, and if you count his screaming and grunting in ROTJ, he had a lot of lines.

And as for ideas of a SW movie, how about the X-Wing saga? Talk about a greate series of books. Hell, if they took material from both the comics and the books, they could do one pretty good mini-series. Same goes for the NJO books. Those are a perfect setting for a mini-series, and a movie series. Or, better yet, they could use the writers and creativ team of KOTOR to do a movie based off that.

Yes, Ep. I and II are horrible movies from a moviemaking standpoint, they are good in the sense that they set the premise for what is to come, if you look at it from a kind of historical standpoint. I just hope that good old George-y boy can pull his act together for Ep. III.

And for those of you who missed the Clone Wars micro-series, you can dowload the latest ten chapters off cartoonnetwork.com. Hell, they are better then Ep. I and II put together, but I don't think they are necessiary to enjoy Ep. III, except for the jedi hunter, who is going to be in the movie. Another point of interest is the Republic Commando game that takes place in between Ep. II and III looks very, very good.

You sure? I seem to remember him having a line about how come Han Solo was no good to him dead before Vader froze him.

"He's no good to me dead."

No, I think that they were actually related in real life. The Captain Antilles of the corvette was Wedge's uncle, I believe. In real life, that is. Their movie characters were not related.

I've read in some book or another that there was no relation between the movie characters.

And as for "what would make good movies?".... Thrawn Trilogy, by either Spielberg or Peter Jackson.

[Dough with Fish]

Imagine the Thrawn trilogy directed by Spielberg, and produced by Jackson.....

Other way around, produced by Spielberg and directed by PJ.

Of course, the same applies to almost any movie where that is the case.

[color=66ff00]You do know that Mr. Spielberg asked Lucas if he could direct the next starwars movie but Lucas turned him down.

I remember reading that way back when on a few fan sites, but I thought that the general conclusion reached was that it was just a rumor..... Maybe it was true, I don't know.

[color=66ff00]Somebody interviewed Mr. Spielberg about the projects he was interested in and he mentioned it himself.

Please correct this if it's wrong, but I've heard that because Lucas was pretty new on the film making scene he wasn't allowed free reign with the original 3 films? Now that SW has made him famous, he's been allowed to do anything he wants and we all know the results of that.  

See, I liked the ideas behind the first 2 films so far. The political manipulation by Palpatine: the fact that the whole Naboo thing was staged essentially only to get Palpatine into power; EpII was all about him getting the authority to weild a massive army as a move towards the events we know are going to happen. (which was then rammed down our throats in case we missed it )  They were good themes to use, I like films with devious behind-the-scenes maniplulation of events.

[Corsair]

The themes were okay, but they were poorly executed.

[Setekh]

I'm still getting over the power of eps 4-6. I mean, they pretty much created the space opera genre in movies. I can hardly imagine how eps 1-3 were ever going to live up to that.

[Bobboau]

well they could start by not sucking.
