A couple of buddies and I are Star Wars fanatics. Not on the level of Big Bang Theory Sheldon Cooper fanatic, but, maybe a few steps below. We have been debating whether Disney (who just bought Lucas Films if you live under a rock) should come out with an episode that involves the time between Star Wars III and Star Wars IV or Star Wars VII. They plan to release a brand new episode in 2015 and leaks have said it will be Star Wars VII. However, I believe that is a mistake. While the entire original cast has said they would do the movie......have you seen Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher lately? They've aged a little. Harrison Ford could still pull it off but those 2are hurtin. Anyway, my opinion is that they should make a Star Wars III.5 if you will. There is so much that can be be covered during that time period and it would have Darth Vader in it. They could use that to jump start the interest in the franchise again (because everyone knows Vader) and then go on with making the later ones. So, what say you. Would rather a Star Wars III.5 or Star Wars VII?
 
whatever it is i hope disney doesnt ruin it.

I think they should remake the prequels, but do nothing to the original theatrical releases of 4-6.

yeah, there is that chance, but it's not as big of a chance as it is with Lucas. That asshole doesn't even know why Star Wars is popular.

I don't think they will. Disney will put everything they have into making this a success, I'm sure. They know how much they will be scrutinized for it. I just hope there's no Ewoks or Jar Jar's in it. My 7 year old hates the first 2 Star Wars and Star Wars 6 (Return of the Jedi). He says there's too much "little kid crap" in those lol. I've raised him well.

best scene,

Disney will rock star wars. 70% of all of their animators are MONSTER star wars fans. I went to college with more than a few of those animators.

As for the question posed...To be honest, I wanna see 7, as opposed to 3.5. Just get an all new cast. I think that Fassbender dude could rock it.

Oh...yeah...unlike when George Lucas was in charge. God forbid Disney sullies the greatness that was episodes one through three.

Hey, that's a good call. Fassbender would be great in it. I know they'll probably do it, but, I hope they don't make a female Jedi the focus of the story. The best part about Star Wars is the heroine is a heroine because she is morally upright and strong, but not a Jedi. If they do that, I believe the movie will fail. Almost all action movies with a female as the main character flop.
 
I'm hoping one doesn't spend $4 billion before you even budget for an actual film without making sure that film is damn good.
 
Episode 7 please. I'm tired of prequels and focussing on characters who can't develop as characters (such as darth vader) or ruin characters that had a mystique (boba fett) in such a time period. No, I don't need to find out grand moff Tarkin was han solos biological dad.

Put it in the future and only involve the original cast to the point Yoda and Obi War were used in 4-6.
 
Star Wars Episode VII: The Life & Times of Jar-Jar Binks
 
Doing a movie in between the prequels, and the original trilogy would be interesting, though it would be kind of hard to do I think, because they would have to focus heavily on the childhoods of Luke, and Leia I would think, and they were pretty quite childhoods I can imagine. Following Vader, and the rise of the Empire would be awesome, and you can't get enough of James Earl Jones, but I don't know if there's enough for 3 movies in that.
 
Which episode is it that Han Solo and Princess Leia finally do the nasty?

I am so much anticipating the sex scene between a 70 year old Harrison Ford and a drug ravaged Carrie Fisher that I can hardly contain myself.

Fisher accidentally taking Ford's Viagra thinking it's a narcotic of some kind. Ford looking for lost treasure in Fisher's fat folds thinking it is some weird Jabba the Hut, Indiana Jones crossover.

Billion dollar idea here!!
 
In all seriousness, I think the best way to go is too just leave Lucas's story alone, he made his Saga, and make a new story in the vast universe that has been created over the years. Go back or forward in time far enough to avoid having to go in great detail about what happened, and focus on some new characters.

Obi-Wan "But I am just a ghost, and even I can still smell the skunk."
 
I'm looking forward to Sith Ewoks. They were a tough out using sticks and stones, imagine if they could harness force lightning?
 
I think a movie that delves into the history of the Jedi would be cool. Like, long long long before the first six. The intro would be awesome...long long ago, longer than previous, in a galaxy far far away...

Not sure if this was brought up elsewhere in the thread, but...

Keep in mind that the different trilogies cover a different generation.

The prequel trilogies have Anakin and Obi-Wan as relatively young men, with Luke an Leia just born.

Then the main trilogy has Luke, Leia, and Han as young people, with Darth Vader and Obi-Wan as older men.

So in the sequel trilogy, I would expect that Luke, Leia, and Han would be older, and that the trilogy would focus on the next generation, whatever that may be. That would work with the ages of the original cast, and it would also fit with the arc myth of each trilogy focusing on a single generation.

I'm also betting money that the sequels will have little to nothing to do with the Expanded Universe, since Disney doesn't want to pay credit to those who created the characters in the novels, comic books, and so forth. So doing such a trilogy would be easier for Disney to do in this way.
