i've watched star trek since i was a kid, cept i don't really like the new one "enterprise", its kinda lost its charm. I've been a star wars fan since i can remember and i'm pissed at George Lucas for deciding not to produce ep.7,8, and 9!! my favorite show has gotta be xmen though, and the standalone books are pretty good as well.

Star Wars.

And are there books or anything for SW episode 7,8,9? Because I know a lot of people are pissed he isn't making them, but I'm not even sure if they existed in the first place.

Yes, there are many books after RotJ. I own almost all of them, lol. I've read almost all of them twice. Yes, I know I'm sad.

I'm currently reading through them. I've read all of them up to Balance Point in the New Jedi Order, minus Tatooine Ghost. I'm going to finish up the NJO, read Tatooine Ghost, and then start on the prequel books.

You know..if you care...

Mmmmm, I love a good star wars book. Favorites are the Thrawn Trilogy and Thrawn Dualogy. I also found Boba Fett's trilogy to be especially interesting.

Ginkasa · 08-02-2003, 02:35 AM

I haven't read any of the books that take place during the Classic Trilogy either...minus Shadows of the Empire which was the book (and game and comic) that got me into the EU.

The Thrawn books are definetely masterpieces. Zahn is just as good at telling a Star Wars story than even Lucas has even been.

I also enjoyed the X-Wing books. Corran Horn is by far my favorite EU character. I really hope either Stackpole or Allston are given the oppurtunity to continue the series.

the entire script for all nine movies was written originally. It was supposed to be ONE MOVIE, but it was just *slightly* too big, so he decided to split it up into nine movies. Its all hiddin away in an office somewhere

Ginkasa · 08-01-2003, 07:15 PM

Yeah, but I doubt that those scripts would work now. At least not as they are. George Lucas made various changes to the story while making the original trilogy. Leia wasn't originally Luke's sister, Vader wasn't originally Luke's dad, the Ewoks were originally Wookies. There are probably more both those are the only ones I can thik off the top of my head...

I'm sure that the prequels were also changed considerably from the original idea as well. While the basic story is the same, the Star Wars movies are very different from the original one movie idea.
