I want to see the X-Wing series the most. Second would be the New Jedi Order.

I placed the X-Wing series as the Star Wars novel I want most to be a movie because there are characters inside that are not Luke Skywalker or Han Solo. Yes, they do make cameo appearances from time to time but the focus is more on Wedge Antilles and Rogue Squadron. Especially Corran Horn. How he became a great pilot and slowly discovered his Jedi heritage. And those space fire fights!!!:)

Truce at Bakuura, only one I've read.

It will probably be episode 7, anyway.

IIRC, GL said that after he finishes ep. III there will be no more SW movies.

Personally, X-wing could easily be made into a series, with each book being a season.  And Styxx, if you like FS, you'll really like X-wing.  And try a BOOK STORE for those.  It's a big place filled with books.

Something good.

Like the Hyperion series.

I still think the Thrawn trilogy would make a 1337 movie.....

Hyperion is good...

But!...

Ian M. Banks in my opinion would be cooelr :D (culture books)

Hyperion's got the epic feel to it, something that the Culture books do rather lack.

Different stories though, the Culture books are just things that happened (very interesting things that happened, mind you) whereas Hyperion is a pivotal event.

Either would work though.

well, I suppose the movie could be re-worked to be epic (for culture) but it probably ends up hyperion would be "easier" to be a movie that appeals to modern culture...

which, by the way I wonder what a hyperion movie would be rated (from the language and violence at leats PG-13 imho)

Probably just a PG-13, there's not really enough in it to slot it in R.

NJO! Black hole effects... new race... lotsa jedi!! If you read the latest NJO book, is it just me, or is it VERY confusing :D
I like confusing... that book tested my mental skillz to understand what the hell was happening. Very cool book, I recommend the whole series tho :)

I'd place Thrawn trillogy second :)

Star Trek was originally slated to end at "The Search for Spock", but we all know how that turned out. :)

What's also interesting is that "The Undiscovered Country" was also slated to be the last movie for Trek.  What keeps it going is the popularity of the series.  I seriously doubt GL will stop with EP3.  Look at the fanfic movies people have made so far!  Specifically the hilarious "Troops".  When the fans want more, Hollywood must comply or face hoardes of angry fans.
