Afishymeadow 534 Posted December 20, 2010 Han Solo's son more likely. Knowing Bay, he'll probably miscast Megan Fox as Princess Leia. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Questor 501 Posted December 20, 2010 Why is anyone assuming that this would be worse than if Lucas did it? Heck, it might be better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Praeothmin 532 Posted December 20, 2010 Not with Michael Bay... Shall I present Transformers 1 and 2 as evidence? Just like SW, they forgot to add a story and compelling characters to an SFX fest, thus leaving us with but a shadow of the animated series we knew and loved... I mean, Bumblebee, a Camaro? Fuck no... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just like SW, they forgot to add a story and compelling characters to an SFX fest, thus leaving us with but a shadow of the animated series we knew and loved... I mean, Bumblebee, a Camaro? Fuck no... Yeah, but there was no potential. The Prequels HAD potential - and Lucas wasted it criminally. As evidence I present: Natalie Portman Liam Neeson Ewan McGregor Ray Park Frank Oz Samuel L. Jackson Keira Knightley Christopher Lee Christ... I'd never actually listed them all. Those actors could have improvised a movie better than the prequels.

Praeothmin 532 Posted December 20, 2010 What? No potential? Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Megatron, Starscream, Jazz.... Need I say more? Seriously though, I agree Lucas just wasted precious talent on inane dialogues, and dumb situations... On another note, can't sleep either? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Questor 501 Posted December 20, 2010 Need I say more? Two words: Black Swan On another note, can't sleep either? My bedroom is badly positioned. My head is the 3 feet from the A/C, and when it rains, I hear this continuous pounding. I'm going to go to work as early as I can possibly justify and sleep in my chair.

Questor 501 Posted December 20, 2010 Seriously, he should have known who he had by the time he needed to write Episode II. How about a galaxy spanning thriller about one Planetary ruler trying to hold a civilization together with both hands during the clone wars - working with Jedi Master Obi Wan Kenobi and his apprentice Skywalker, who makes a one time mistake with a said apprentice and regrets it, even hiding his children from him. After the fall of the Republic, she spends her effort hiding her children from her insane lover with an old ally and in the family of a political ally. Eventually being killed by Vader in a completely meaningless sacrifice that fails. EDIT: This is interesting. It could satisfy everything we know (better than the prequels did in fact) while still reorienting the series to play to the strengths of the actors involved (i.e. making Hayden Christiensen much less important in the grand scheme of things).

Questor 501 Posted December 20, 2010 OK, fleshing this out: Kickass John Williams Music plays STAR WARS Episode 2: Attack of the Clones More kickass John Williams music Intro crawl Pull down onto spacecraft flying in space over Naboo Spacecraft door opens (we see its space because gas and debris fly out. Robed figure leaps out of door and extends his arm - almost like the Green Lantern He falls through the atmosphere protected only by the force. He lands with a thump on the steps where the victory celebration in Episode 1 was held. He stands and ignites a red lightsaber. He spends the next five minutes killing anyone and everyone in the palace, eventually reaching a suite, where he stabs a young woman in the chest. As he walks to a closed door and kills two guards, he is shot in the back by SABE (Keira Knightly), the Queen's bodyguard. A few hours later, as AMIDALA covers the face of her bodyguard with a cloth, the security guy from Episode 1 pulls back the hood of the assasin, revealing an unknown face. Cut to scenes on many planets showing that they have been attacked by strike teams of varying sizes. On one planet, show an entire city destroyed with large ships lifting off. Show a space station being destroyed. On another, show a planet with severe damage and several Star Destroyer sized ships jumping to hyperspace. Weeks later, on Coruscant, YODA, OBI-WAN, AND MACE WINDU are briefing PALPATINE, and they show holos of many different types of armor, but they all have the same face. They pronounce that these enemies are all clones. After the briefing, PALPATINE recieves a message that the nemoidians have have moved for a vote of no confidence in him. In the Jedi Council chambers, YODA and the majority of the council are arguing with MACE WINDU. YODA is arguing that this is not Jedi business, and that they must not interfere. MACE WINDU believes that this is a threat to the Republic and the Jedi must investigate. He is overruled by the council. Later, MACE WINDU is speaking with OBI-WAN, he complains that the council has become too conservative, too afraid to act. He tells OBI-WAN that for the people controlling these clones to have sent such a powerful agent to assinate AMIDALA, then she must be important. MACE WINDU instructs OBI-WAN and ANAKIN to meet with her and act as her bodyguard until this situation has been resolved. The vote of no confidence is deadlocked. There are exactly equal numbers in favor as against. In response, the Nemoidians withdraw from the chamber and leave. As their shuttle reaches their ship, it is revealed to be the same design as the massive ships that had damaged the planet. In Palpatine's chambers, PALPATINE is speaking with a figure in a hooded Jedi robe, he says that this is perfect, and even better than the previous plan. He tells his "new apprentice" that he should be patient, and act only when the time is right. Perhaps there is still time to avert the future he has seen. On the way to Naboo, OBI-WAN and ANAKIN have a discussion, where ANAKIN displays a slightly bloodthirsty nature, but nothing that is completely beyond the norm, possibly just a very aggressive Jedi. For the next act of the movie, we follow OBI-WAN and ANAKIN and AMIDALA through various encounters implying that many months, even years pass, including a space battle between Loyalist forces and Seperatist clone forces. After barely escaping the encounter alive, ANAKIN and AMIDALA find themselves sleeping together. When AMIDALA awakes, ANAKIN is has left. AMIDALA and ANAKIN fight throughout the last act. ANAKIN becomes more and more angry, calling her weak. After a final encounter on a planet, ANAKIN disappears, leaveing OBI-WAN and AMIDALA alone. They barely excape some situation with thier lives. The Senate grants the Chancelor Emergency Powers. In his speach accepting emergency powers, he names the Jedi as complicit in the seperatists, and produces the evidence of the assasination attempt at the beginning of the movie. He declares the Jedi outlaws, and YODA orders the Jedi into hiding. MACE WINDU, observing the speech in the senate, is attacked by Guardsman. He responds by attempting to reach PALPATINE, but is stopped by ANAKIN. ANAKIN kills him. Later, after OBI-WAN leaves AMIDALA, as he is now a larger target than she is, sneaks her way to Alderaan, landing at a private platform near a palace. There she meets BAIL ORGANA and says, "I think I have made a horrible mistake." Cue Luke Skywalker Theme. Roll Credits. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Praeothmin 532 Posted December 20, 2010 But we're missing a movie... Was that all AotC? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Questor 501 Posted December 20, 2010 But we're missing a movie... Was that all AotC? Pretty much. I'd almost do Ep. 3 as a chase movie, with the backdrop of the formation of the Rebellion. I'm having a harder time envisioning it. Certainly a very different movie from the one we got. I'd probably set the Mustafar confrontation at the end of Act 2, and then do act three as one of those "everyone dies" chase concepts. I'd definately have kenobi visit Dagobah, might even have Anakin come there and visit the cave. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Airlocke 12,014 Posted December 21, 2010 Boobs are almost instant r ratings. I think you are only allowed like 3 seconds, or something like that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Praeothmin 532 Posted December 21, 2010 3 seconds total, or in a row? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Airlocke 12,014 Posted December 21, 2010 I just did some research. It has to be nonsexual nudity for it to be in a pg or pg-13 rating. Any sexual overtones and it is R. If you wanted to show her changing clothes, boob nudity could work, but it would have to be done in a way that does not accentuate the nudity. Any emphasis on the nudity, no matter how brief, and it is an R rating. In other words, any good nudity and it is an R rating. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Say she gets attacked while changing and has to defend herself naked. We're not accentuating the nudity, she's just fighting off droids naked, thus boobies everyhwere...

WalksInDarkness 4 Posted December 30, 2010 Natalie Portman only had one good movie, and it was not SW. "Leon", FTW!!! I am reasonably certain she died during filming, and was later replaced by a poor quality Replicant... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WalksInDarkness 4 Posted December 30, 2010 Vendetta was such a terrible movie that I shut it off after 30 minutes. I never noticed Portman in it. Not sure if she hadn't shown yet, or if I was distracted by the horror of being subjected to the movie. Black Swan? So how long have you known that you are gay?
