Thread as title reads.

Your opinions please?

By the time Lucas dies, I don't think Star Wars will be popular, anymore.

I think someone will buy the righs and make it into a porno series soit will be WIDLEY populr

Star Wars can do fine without him unless some nutjob takes his position.

The entire KOTOR saga is not his creation and yet it is amazing. There is hope from others.

I imagine that it will simultaneously stay the same, improve, and get worse. It depends on the specific medium and the area of the mythos that's being worked on. After his death, someone might end making a sensible call to Lucas' personal works--the films and the TV series--such as declaring certain parts to be non-canon, or re-working them in more preferable ways.

But Lucas has made some... decent contributions to the EU's canon. No more Wookiee Jedi for one. Killing Anakin Solo for another (IMO). He also clarified the power gap between Vader and Palpatine. And regardless of the game's quality, his blessing and go-ahead for TFU was, again IMO, a good thing. Character quality aside, I liked the overall plot and the tie-in with the OT's Rebel Alliance. Without his iron fist, little things like this might not have happened.

Overall, I think the mythos will largely go unchanged, development-wise. His involvement in the vast majority of EU works has been minimal at best, and writers and developers have been going their own way with stories for a long time now--which is, incidentally, how Lucas wants it. The only thing I hope they do once GL has gone the way of T.I. is maintain a firm stance on continuity (or rather I should say, strengthen the stance).

Lucien- are you black?

Wh-why do you ask?

Hopefully after he's gone Star Wars will establish a more consistent power level. The difference between Lucas' works and the EU is substantial.


Also a revised Prequals with actual quality would be good.


But on the other hand, can SW survive his passing?

Yes. Even if Star Wars began to fade today, and Lucas lived for another 25 years, his death will only remind everybody of it again. It'll go through a revival in popularity when he dies, though just what that entails is anybody's guess.

Lol so it is good if he dies

Its not good when someone dies, no.

So was it not good when Hitler died?

Hmmm. IDK. Do you not think that a person deserves a shot at redemption, no matter what his crimes?

Why the **** is Hitler even being used as a measuring pole? That's like... the most extreme example you can give.

Because of our good friend Godwin.

That doesn't count either because the discussion so far has been short. Going by Godwin's law, the chances that Hitler would be mentioned now would be astronomical.

Obviously Korto had a aged Ben Kenobi whispering in his ear as he typed up his response.

'Use the Hitler Card Vos!'

I was just kidding Neph...

BTW was a certain Bastila whispering in your ear as you typed up that response:

"Quote me Neph! Quote me!"

Well, considering some of the most tragic and upsetting elements come directly from his works (midi-chlorians, Anakin killing younglings and being an unlikable D-bag, the fight scene between Mace and Sidious, etc.) it would be great if someone who was a greater fan of the OT were to take over as an absolute canon editor.

But that doesn't happen. Leeland Chee couldn't give two ****s about continuity, instead blanketing EU canon with statements that cannot be enforced without intense subjective debate, and at this point every author and their mother has had a chance to muck up what is or isn't kosher in SW.

What was the problem with Anakin killing younglings? I thought it was one of the better showings of Anakin's fall, and lamented the fact that he didn't show more tendencies like that.

I thought it was incredibly extreme and out of character.

Yeah, Anakin felt emotionally overwhelmed because his lust-love partner was gonna die. Yeah, he had already crossed a point of no-return when he helped kill Mace Windu and pledged his allegiance to the enemy of the Jedi. But killing younglings? That's heinous and I don't see how it makes us embrace the fall any better. If anything, it made me totally disgusted with his desire to unite with his son in the OT after seeing it. A selfish child killer, wanting his son to join his side. No, **** you, dad.

Oh, well I'd agree with that to an extent. I wouldn't go so far as to say that it was out of character; considering that in the movie just prior he went apeshit and slaughtered an entire village of tuscan raiders, "the women, and the children" included. His turn in RotS was definitely rushed, though. Going from "reluctantly killing Mace to save Sideous/his wife" to "Kill kids and the people I've known my whole life? suuure" in the space of 15 minutes is one hell of a jump. But to be fair, it was all a jump. Killing all the Jedi in the temple at that timepoint wasn't any less realistic than the kid killing, imo.

Fair enough. I still think that his fall should have been far more sinister and slow.

Honestly, it wasn't out of character. It fit very well with Anakin, I feel. The man was just so f*cked up and extreme anyways, that taking it one step further seemed to fit. It really was only one step further--harbored a ten-year lust, experienced extreme emotional outbursts, slaughtered a village, boned/married/knocked up a senator (in secret), executed an unarmed man, stabbed a Jedi master in the back, pledged allegiance to the Sith, struck down many fellow Jedi, would go on to nearly murder the purpose behind it all...

The film's version of Anakin Skywalker was already a pretty f*cked up guy and a failure as a Jedi. He was also an extremely unlikeable character. Killing kids wasn't much of a shock after all that.

fans might get the OUT trilogy after he is dead

I wonder who would take over.

I believe his daughter is his heir.

So following the feminist theory of thought, Leia becomes the most powerful evah?

Or Jaina.
