Apples and Oranges.. Boba`s early years would make a good three film run, Boba`s later years a hell of a good set of films.. And even though he was kidding Landos adventures wold make a great set of films sadly you would have to recast!. Luke is Luke he`s got no flash no real charisma he is what he is.. Leia is annoying pretty much never found her that attractive even as a slave on jabbas throne.. There are tons of movies that could be made. These 3 films should have furthered the story of the skywalkers which was the original 1-9 story line Anakin -Luke -Ben!! but then id love to see Cade Skywalker the drugged out bounty hunters tales on screen even animated would be a great adult oriented show.. which we need some of!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4104469133277555786.post-71885951700799648982014-06-05T16:37:00.095+01:002014-06-05T16:37:00.095+01:00I also want to add that the prequels were pretty l...I also want to add that the prequels were pretty lame in themselves. Honestly, The Phantom Menace should had been about a 16 yr.old kid, not a 7 yr.old. Anyone that followed/follows Star Wars knows that Anakin was supposed to be a bad ass and better at everything than anyone else. Wasted 2 hours of my life watching Jedi's babysitting a child. Then Attack of the Clones, another let down. Anakin should have been 21 to 30 yrs old in this movie and the dark side should have played a heavier role in his life. Someone smack this kid, time to toughen up! If one compares the acting abilities between characters in a New Hope, Empire Strikes Back to the Prequels one should be vomiting to the horrible acting. Alec Guiness probably stood up in his grave yelling WTF! Now this could have also been due to the over use of CGI in the films. Either way the prequels sucked and the sucked because Lucas didn't listen the 1978 to 1986 Fans, instead he listened to the younger children and lost track. Then comes RTOS, ugh! This film should had been focused entirely on the transistion to Darth Vader. Anakin should be 35 to 40 yrs.old in the film, he should have been in the true Vader costume by the middle of the movie killing everyone. There should have been fight scenes of Vader and other Jedi's. This is where Lucas really lost track, he's more fcused the bridge to A NEW HOPE that he forgets that fans want to see their favorite villian kick serious ass. Chewbacca is introduced, the babies Luke & Lea are there, WTF is Solo? So hopefully these new films will be what the fans want, and they will allow the story to move on its own momentum. What does that mean? It means, DISNEY don't assume your fan base can't put the pieces of the puzzle together by themselves. We don't need it spelled out for us. **Editing sucks on here to *Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4104469133277555786.post-9364183399366340842014-06-05T15:47:16.085+01:002014-06-05T15:47:16.085+01:00regardless of the plot/story in this movie.

So make them dark, evil, violent action packed thrillers ( i.e. Game of Thrones ). Are the Jedi gonna be bad asses like Mace, Yoda etc...or are they gonna be wimpy acting bullied victims like young Obi Wan and Anakin? Not to bust anyone's bubble, but Anakin was a whiney wimp and at no point was his character believable even with the transistion to Darth Vader. RTOS reminded me of the pitiful ending of RTOJ. How does a no trained half-jedi take out the worst villian of all time. Seriously!?

The first though...Great thought provoking article. The first thought I had when reading this was that Plagueis would be a perfect villan to tie all 3 trilogies together. In episode 1 Anakins mother talks about becoming pregnant without having intercourse, which if Plagueis could create life from midi-clorians, that could explain Anakin's high midi-clorian count and force sensitivity. In both previous trilogies skywalker is thought to be the chosen one based on the, Jedi prophecy, but if this was created by Plagueis, he could be the supreme manipulater for E7 that brings the story full circle.

The idea that he could have survived somehow all these years goes against the theme of the EU book you reference. The theme is that Plagueis messed with the Force so much that the Force struck back in the form of Anakin Skywalker. That whole book would be pointless if he was able to gain immortality. It was a tragedy, plain and simple. <br />Also, although Plagueis wanted to get rid of the Rule of Two, Sidious did not and kept it going, which is why he KILLED Plagueis.

I don't hate them because they don't make me feel like a kid again, I HATE THE PREQUELS BECAUSE THEY SUCK. They are objectively bad movies. The characters have no depth and no charm. The dialogue is horrible. Often the special effects were distracting instead of serving the film.<br /><br />There is almost nothing redeeming about the Prequel Trilogies. I truly wish that were not the case, but it's true.

After all that's what's balance to the Force really is right?<br />So what if, Darth Plagueis is the only Dark Lord of the Sith that can achieve the status of Force Ghost? <br />If so, that could explain his "slumber" between Ep 6 and 7 (although if that's the case of the villain I expect JJ Abrams to explain it even further and better in the movie) What if the last 30+ years after the destruction of the Empire he was possessing bodies or trying to master how to possess them as a Force ghost? And eventually he achieves this (enter Max Von Sidow) He could be the one with the power to bring Lord Sidius as a powerless Force Ghost to taunt him and show him his failures to destroy his Master and that the Master was always around and ever powerful.<br /><br />Food for thought :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07928771000414000788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4104469133277555786.post-73659414506137621342014-05-27T04:43:58.543+01:002014-05-27T04:43:58.543+01:00Darth Plagueis is Gloriously Interesting.

He was a super scientist so he found out he was infected. Knew in his current body he could not achieve his goal. Waited until he had set Palps in motion and Kissed the sky....<br />Only to Essence Transfer into a Max Von Sydow cloned Muun body. I suspect the Ancient Fear is a Sith who can not die. He may even get killed a few times in ST. He was also Maimed and missing pieces of his face, had damaged hearts, but most important lost his connection in his current body to the force. He knew this, he was Wise. He knew Palps would kill him if he got drunk. HE DID NOT FIGHT IT. HE WANTED TO DIE. HE WANTED A NEW BODY free of damage and infection. He did not teach Sid alot.
