Just give SW to Nolan. He would know what to do successfully.

What about taking the Clone Wars and making it live action instead of animation…the story behind the clones is pretty interesting…

Also what about a spin off on Boba Fett / Bounty Hunter back story?

Hmmm, difficult to see the future is…
I hope they do cartoons to cover the books, or a TV series or something because there are really some great stories. But for the movies, they should do something way in the past or way in the future, an entire new story line. I think Episode: VII would be pushing it.

Do a movie from scratch that covers Boba Fett’s earlier years. Make it not a pg movie. Include fight scene between him and vadar.

I’d say do an animated series of the Trawn trilogy. It was a brilliant series but would have to be shortened too much to film live. That gets the main characters from the original trilogy, who could be voiced by the original actors, in an excellent story.

For live action film, make a prequel set thousands of years ago – perhaps around the time of the Knights of the Old Republic video games or go even older.

I think a movie detailing the development of the light saber as some kind of ultimate weapon for the jedi could work.

I’d have to agree with option #3. I mean, maybe draw some inspiration from the books, but no need to be stuck to them. Especially as, sadly, I’m sure a lot of the public is blissfully unaware of the books.

Overall, this is definitely pretty exciting. Could be a horrendous bomb, but it’d be hard to do worse then the prequels. So, I’m maintaining optimism.

I know there is no way this could happen, but I just had this beautiful vision of Disney knocking on another top-director’s door every couple of years and saying: “This is Star Wars. Here you go, have some fun with it.”
I would love to see a Whedon-Star-Wars and a Nolan-Star-Wars and a Blomkamp-Star-Wars… oh, the nerd wars we could have!

I would love to watch a film about the formation of the jedi and later split of the sith. Then again it also sounds better in my head when I’m not trying to describe how it should work. I think Paul is right about the problem with origin/prequel stories is that you already know where the film has to end. My vote is for original story, original characters, mostly original locations.

I suggest more prequels (in the sense that they came before, not in the sense that they have anything to do with the movies). Like following the very first Force sensitives.

I have to agree with the third option as the best plan of action. I think the story in line from Legacy of the Force books series would be the best to take from. Make the old characters come back as themselves and have the story revolve around their offspring. That way you get the best of both worlds.
