What If Someone Remade Star Wars?

[NLS]

I'd like to see Star Wars put in a pirate setting. With big ships and everything.

The series already has been remade. About three times. Each more awful than the last.

The movies as they were in '77, '80 and '83 were perfect thank you very much. *Clutches LaserDisc of unedited trilogy to chest*

Also why does everyone seem to think there are six films? Everyone knows there are only three...

Ah, you mean like how Jabba was human wearing a fur coat in A New Hope, and a slug in Return of the Jedi? Some eedits were needed.


On that note, I've yet to see the blu-ray release and won't judge til then. That said, I like Peter Jackson's work. Especially his handling of Lord of the Rings.

Uh... You know Jabba was never in the original cut of Star Wars right?

The fat guy who was talking to Han? The one he walks behind, which made it harder to animate Jabba as a slug since his tail is right where Han walks? If Harrison Ford was in it, it was shot during production.

I'd love to not see a remake, but a complete rewrite of the prequel series. There is enough story there, but all the wrong parts are fleshed out and all the wrong characters are focused on. There is no need for characters like Pademe or Jar Jar. Hell, even Senator Palpetine could be renamed to a different person so that the emperor in RotJ is just an evil sith dude that gained power.

Also, give the clone tech to the bad guys and leave the robots out of it. The concept of the clone wars was better when it didn't end up being red-shirts vs kitchen appliances. A clone war should be fought with normal soldiers vs evil clones. They don't even need to be massive numbers of clones, just crafty or super strong. Hell, make them out of random civilians and mix them in the population so the republic has to figure out who is a clone and who is a civilian. It could have been a great way to push a totalitarian state.

 

[StrawHat]

No. Otherwise they'll just reboot it every 5-10 years like batman and superman movies.

Next thing you know he'll try to combine the et, star wars and indiana jones universes together.

Uwe Boll for a Star Wars remake.

KILL KILL KILL!!!
Never just never. /End sarcasm
Please tell me your joking.

OT: EH Just remake the new format into the orignol version and make a fucking sequal instead of trying to make more money by remaking the same thing into a more crappy movie.

Episodes V and VI were written and directed by people other than Lucas.

So, two thirds of the originals HAVE been made by somebody else.

GIVE THE JOB TO TARANTINO!!!!...the greedo scene would be about 10 minutes long with some great lines in it. imagine obi wan cutting down 88 japanese sith (maybe not japanese) the final fight will mostly be a meaningfull conversation whilst sitting down

Tarantino? Interesting, tell me more.

Been here, done this.

If I wrote for Lucas...

Episode 1: The Price of Freedom [http://www.blueinkalchemy.com/2010/05/29/if-i-wrote-for-lucas-episode-1/]

Episode 2: The Clone Wars [http://www.blueinkalchemy.com/2010/05/30/if-i-wrote-for-lucas-episode-2/]

Episode 3: Rise of the Empire [http://www.blueinkalchemy.com/2010/05/31/if-i-wrote-for-lucas-episode-3/]

I would only choose to remake it when I in the future (25 years later). Hopefully only few of the younger generation had seen it and there are not many of older generation (us) left to complain about it.

Yes. I'd love to see someone like Guillermo del Toro do it.

You've obviously never heard the terms deleted scenes. Nor have you seen the original theatrical cut of the film which is a grand shame. If you manage to get your hands on it you'll see that the scene you describe is not in the film. It was shot yes, but not used.

Ultimately the scene isn't necessary because everything is already explained in the scene with Greedo.

 

[Voodoomancer]

Contrary to what many people are saying, Star Wars has never been remade. It's been digitally remastered, and Lucas goes nuts retconning every few years, but it's never been actually REmade.

OT: Peter Jackson. Nothing else is in the question.

 

[The Grim Ace]

It should be a crime against nerdom to remake them anymore than they already have. So, yes, in my world George Lucas would either be serving a life sentence of have gotten the death penalty a long time ago. Justice!

 

[Rabid Gamer]

Lucas movies won't be remade until after he dies. He's kids will sell the rights or something. At most he'll keep editing them like he is now.

I'm waiting for the eventual remakes of the Harry Potter series in about 10-20 years.

 

[Deacon Cole]

Isn't Tyler Perry already working on this?

 

[The Serpent]

There's no need for now. Star Trek 2009 is pretty much what a "respectful", "with newer CGI" version of A New Hope would be, so we can just watch that. Also it is proof that the man for the remake-job of Star Wars could be no other than Star Wars-fanboy J. J. Abrams.

 

[fulano]

I'd rather that Lucas greenlit a new trilogy set some hundreds of years in the future and have it all start from scratch nicely, and hopefully give creative reign to a whole host of people and just take a step back and count his millions. That would be totally rad. No need to remake anything given how little I care that Lucas modifies things here and there.
