I haven't felt like I have been able to discern a direction for the show. It doesn't seem to take on any extreme characteristic, pushing in one direction. It seems to take middle grounds in all respects, except for that its animation. (Not the animation style, which i feel is also ambiguous and adirectional, but that the series in iteself is animated as opposed to live action).
Depends on how he tackles it, I suppose. Film noir can be very real and gritty, like L.A. Confidential. The Clone Wars are over by that point and there is relative peace under the Empire until the Rebellion springs up.
Well, all thats EU, and different sources have portrayed it different ways. We know the Rebellion is in full force by ANH.
Battlefront II portrays the Rebellion is immediately starting with assassinations on Naboo, etc. The Force Unleashed starts pretty soon after the clone wars (if not immedtiately I think) with the subjugation of Kashyyyk. The Rebellion is in full swing later in the game, when Leai is still relatively young, but old enough to be politically active.
I just bring these two up becasue especailly with TFU, Lucas had much more of a hand in them then other EU interpretations of this era.
I'd say realtive peace is improbable. What is he going to be filming, Star Trek? lol
Despite the fact I find that movie to be the worst of the saga, its is when Lucas started changing his views. Kenobi is correct in theory, but like his "only a Sith deals in abolustes" line, [size=0](what does that saw about you and your BLACK and WHITE conception of Star Wars?[/color] its a valid concept delivered in a very questionable justification. Kenobi was clearly drinking.
Oh yeah, I agree... Lucas has been shifting and yet persisting in the clear good vs. bad themes. I dunno, once he started make Jedi and Jedi religion more concrete, it kinda lost its flavour.
Thats because it ended up being something you didn't see it as....a major problem with fandom.
Thats why I just ignore the old man. I know he didn't intend for me to see his work the way I do and I appreciate his perspective as a creator, but he didn't execute hi s ideals flawlessly. Its the same way someone can say something innocent and make a dirty joke out of it. It wasn't their intent, but the subtext is clearly there for an alternate interpretation.
The point remians that, despite your personal feelings, if you accept Lucas as "The Word" you cant ignore/exclude the PT and his comments on it as canon.
