Total agree with PVS before the PT it was all about lukes journey, from a farm boy to becoming a Jedi Master. and obviously the battle between the rebels and the empire. But now after the PT it has changed to being anakin's story which is fine just if we were having this conversation ten years ago there would be no way we would be saying it was about Anakins story. How about it's the story of the Skywalkers that way there is room for the sequels.

But it would still have lightsaber's. But I do agree that there is no story left to tell, but at the end of the day it would still be star wars and I know for a fact that even if the early reviews said that it was the worst film ever to be made I'd still be trying my hardest to get premiere tickets and then i'd be shelling out for the special edition DVD's then the box sets etc etc. and i'm sure you guys would do the same.
not this woman.......Im done after next May.
PVS, thats the EU in you talking 😂 Star Wars is about ANAKIN"S journey not Luke's.

JP, that GL talking 😛
if you tell me that before the PT came out, you thought of the OT as the story of anakin, then ill leave it at that. but admit it, when you first saw the OT it was all about luke/leah/han/chewie/r2/3p0.

What's wrong with having a bit of EU in you. So If lucas suddenly decided to make ep 7, 8 & 9 you wouldn't be watching. JP do you actually like what GL has done with EP I & II?
question one.........EU sux IMHO
question two.........NOPE
question three......With the exception of Jar Jar YES
sorry man thats just the way I feel.

It's Lucas's vision PVS whether you guys want to admit it or not. No GL=No SW.
Actually sweetie, it has honestly ALWAYS been ALL about Vader for me clear since 1977 even.
Time for me to go to work peeps. Have a good one.
i am only swayed by my own way of seeing the saga.
i never had any interest in EU, because it just makes no sense to me to READ star wars. i guess i have played som SW video games, but i never base my views on what i see in those.
not that i took any offense to your EU comment JP.
i just felt the need to clarify my lack of care for EU.

well, i think GL is a liar, flat out.
when he wrote the original draft for star wars, vader was not luke's father.
he was just a villain. luke's father was betrayed and murdered by him. GL kept this idea even when he finished ep4. dont believe the fat man when he give you his "i had it all planned from the get go" speech, which he loves to give. i guess he's just too proud to admit that his mind changed through the
process of his work.

What is it you don't like about EU, no need to be sorry each to there own. I'm just intrested in your views. At least we Agree on Jar Jar though.
the tv series looks fairly likely to happen.....lucas won't do it himself, he'll farm it out like he did the clone wars cartoons.....
i have no idea about sequel trilogy, but for a long time the thought of lucas doing these prequels seemed insane and highly unlikely....think back.....
i saw the ewok movie in the cinema....though in my defense, i was very young, don't remember thinking much of them, and at my local cinema you just went whatever was on anyway......
the original star wars (ep IV at least, and probably ep V as well) is about luke....vader's hardly in ep IV, he's waiting in the wings....is about luke (although i concede it might be about luke in relation to the problem of vader).....do you think hamill wouldn't come back for episode 8?......although getting ford to join in might be a really tough assignment....
i will bide my time and see what happens, but when i think back to before phantom menace, if someone had asked me if i thought a new star wars film was possible, i would have said NO, most emphatically.....
PVS never said anything about eu as far as i remember, he just said original trilogy seemed to be about luke when we first saw it....
eu sucks in my opinion and always will....it's a hollywood remake....it's fan fiction....it's not kosher.....
however, PVS, i am of the firm opinion that vader was luke's father at the time of filming ep IV....maybe not in the old original drafts of the script, i can't remember, but during the filming of ep IV vader WAS lukes father.....it is hinted at again and again, i know movie shorthand, and it's in there solid.....
of course, i am very, very drunk......
