so many closed topics time to make another one Anyway if Gl made EP 1-3 first and then the orignals whould they still be famouse ?

The only thing is luke whold look old lolz

It depends. He made the OT (wrote and produced, directed ANH) with many restrictions and its still a landmark in modern cinema, he made the PT with no little to no restrictions and it was a disapointment. It could have happened the other way around I guess.

It would never have been made that way. The way Lucas developed the first movie ANH there was never any story about a fall of a Jedi. It was always a Flash Gordon movie about a guy and a princess. The main story was never that of the rise and fall of the greatest Jedi ever. ANH was the natural first story.

I argee.It is go od that they had made 4-6 before.Then we know how good they are.If we saw the first three mo vies I would not be into star wars like I am right now.jm

4, 5 and 6 ARE the first movies. The 1, 2 and 3 films really came after that. Lucas made them up maybe a little during the making of the OT, but a lot came after it.

Yep, and I will never buy any of that crap he comes out with about knowing the whole story for the last 30 years utter b****cks

You mean alot of crap came after ep VI

Well, reading the Making of book..... Lucas did say something to the extent of making three movies in December 1976 whil writing the fourth draft to ANH, plus he did mention at that time that he'd like to do the story of OB1 and Luke's father and Darth Vader (apparently not Luke's father at that time) and the rise of the Emperor, but that that would be impossible to make. He did already come up with the fact that after killing Luke's father, OB1 foubt Vader and chucked him in the lava (hence the iron lung suit).
And this apparantly is historically accurate. But there wasn't much more than that. Just a thought as backstory to ANH.

This question is impossible because Lucas kept revising the story with main plot changes in each NEW movie. If the saga were made 1-6, it would be different today, but it never would have been as huge a hit if Lucas had the big picture in mind.

SW in 1977 was a hit because it was so general and basic, and didn't have all the subplots that the saga has today. You had stereotypical characters: a princess, a farmboy, a smuggler, a wizard, and of course the bad guy with a mask and cape. SW '77 has a true ending for anyone watching it in 1977, so it is not anticlimatic, yet it leaves wanting more if there is more to tell.

If Episode I were made in 1977 with all these ?????? as to what happens, fans wouldn't have fallen in love with it, cause there would be no story to fall in love with yet.

Good point.

And correct: Lucas just wanted to make a Flash Gordon style film with a princess, an Empire and space dogfights... THAT was the original idea. He crafted a story in that frame used ancient mythologies and came up in the end with a farm boy, a princess, an old man (the mentor) a pirate and his co-pilot, and two droids (as taken from Hidden Fortress) and the Force of Others. There is nothing about a force gifted boy taken from tatooine to become a Jedi and then falls to the spell of an evil chancellor.

I thought he just made a single movie and thats Star wars. It was so big he turned it into a trilogy and then a saga .

A new hope is like a fairy story a prince saving a princess and they lived happly ever after .

He was working on a single story. I guess he started fantasising about sequels because he had too much script (be it that it was still the one story of ANH) and he had to cut quite a number of scenes and planet due to budget restrictions and story development. Originally he planned to have as many planets in ANH as he did in the PT films. Don't know if that would have made it any better.

If it stopped him from making the pt than thats good

He made the OT... ANH in fact. From that grew the OT and just a mere wish of the PT in the far future.
Interestingly enough, those notes from December 1976 all came true. Quite a visionary.

I heard he was gonna make nine episodes but made a short cut and made 6

If 4-6 were made last, there might not be all the leaps in logic and story line that are present in the saga today. However, they would be adult disney movies like the prequels. So, I think I prefer them the way they were done.

I think that idea grew during the making of ANH. It was certainly around when ESB came out. But before shooting there was no such concrete idead.

If i was GL i would only make three episodes and leave it .The way they did it with the godfather trilogy

He couldn't leave it, and made another fortune.

that sounded like you were saying GL is a money-obsessed pig. there was some noun/adjective perfect for that in my mind, just couldn't fish it out.

No no... he really wanted to make a space movie. He really did. And by doing so he made a fortune and earned his independance. Quite a feat really.

Yes quite indeed!jm

Impressive.

not really ep 1-3 sucked

Its true it didnt feel or look like star wars

well.. it had the name.. and the lightsabers.. and the names.. and the star cruisers...

you catchin' my drift here lol?

No darth vader no luke no x wings its not SW

how bout the word skywalker? or ROTS?

it looks like star wars to me.. hmm

It does.

*shrug* he said it ain't SW...

sorry

ahh. well... ah.. okay.

Solved.

The OT has more fans

Which are therefor also fans of the PT... technically speaking.

If it wasnt for us there would be no PT fans lozzzzzz hahah

True

If it weren't for Lucas you mean.

No...you in the PT forum.

Huh?

YOU~!

ME?

No, of course not.

Ahh... thought it was an insult for a moment.

Me?

Always you.

ALWAYS.

What this time then?

you insulted a mod

*click-click*

Did not.

*shield goes up*

*thows EMP*

BOOM


Banning procedure complete.

BOOOM

*banning procedure complete*

EMP's don't work on me. 313

Why not, are you some kind of special droid?

Specially modified.

If you have EMP shielding...I'll just use this

*whips out a PLX-1*

You took too much time using the EMP, you have already been blasted.

Looks like a jedi v mod war going on lolz

Where's the jedi?

Your the jedi and queeq is the MOD

If tehre was such a war, G would be long gone.

I am no Jedi!

There you go.

I thought he had G a bad cough (ROTS)

I am a Jedi.

No your not. Stop playing make believe.

I agree.

It gets weird.

I'd shoot all of you bastards.

It is hard to hit something when it is behind a shield.

We'll throw the switch then.

I am the only one with a switch.

and what a small switch it is.

SW is still a "side project" for GL.

What is the actual project?

You must not have been taught proper English.

Sorry, its kind of hard for those of us when its not our native language.

Yeah, that's true, but I still don't understand BS.

um...

Its not that hard.

Not when a clone thinks they can speak it and can't.

khun glin men.

Indeed.

KMC does not support thai characters...so I tried.

Discrimination much?

Yeah..its pretty blatant. I already called the ACLU, but they didn't care...I'm not American.

So you have to be American to be properly listenned to?

Yes. and have a gun.

That sucks.

Fail, eh?

I thought I did.

Ok. Then that's cleared up.

Don't laugh about Europe, or pay the ultimate price.

do we win chocolate?

Mmmmm...I want chocolate.

lolEurope.

Europe

And you're from where?

Canada eh?

I knew that, I was simply pointing out how Canada is a relic in Europe's basement.

But we have grown away from that, we have shown great independance in both world wars, and shown that we can get along nicely on our own.

Heh. You're just a colony.

The Queen has very little do with what goes on here in Canada.

Also VERY off topic. CLOSING
