Please SuperShadow. I have an answer. When you see Star Wars Episode 7 can be in cinemas? Is possible to 2012? (SuperShadow: Do not fear outright war with the true gods. These divine immortals may be invisible, omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent and invincible, but we are not frightened. I'll admit we can't even locate any of them, but this matters not. Our victory . . . wait a second, we can't win, not even symbolically. We're doomed. All of us.)
'Sup Shadow! Quick question for 'ya. (SuperShadow: The first collapse of civilization is no big deal. Only 99.9 percent of you will be wiped out. The real nightmare is the secondary collapse after the first collapse. This is when the mutant zombies and demonic creatures emerge to feast on the pathetic Human survivors. Only then should you really be horrified.)
Did Darth Vader actually strike down Obi-Wan or did Obi-Wan vanish before Vader's light saber made contact with him? (SuperShadow: Hyper technically, Obi-Wan's body was gone before Vader's light saber blade hit Obi-Wan's Jedi robes. Blame the primitive special effects of the 1970's for this lameness.) I wonder if when Obi-Wan met his fate on the death star if Vader's anger & rage started to subside, kind of burnt itself off. (SuperShadow: No, not even. Vader wanted more blood.)
Vader got his revenge, felt a little better, Obi-Wan's death gave Vader a push to the light side of the Force, then Luke gives him the final shove to redemption. (SuperShadow: Absolutely false. You can't kill your way to salvation. Such an argument is morally reprehensible.) What did Darth Sidious think when he found out Obi-Wan was not only alive, but on the death star? (SuperShadow: Pure terror like when you discover the F.B.I. has had you under surveillance for many, many years. Slight pause while I laugh for eternity.)
Was Sidious like: "Yoda's going to be upset Vader took out his prized Jedi? Better go polish up the kyber crystal." Or did Sidious experience a little tremor of fear knowing that the "extinct" Jedi were back to throw a wrench in his plans? (SuperShadow: Totally wrong. Sidious believed the Jedi prophecy was still active and a direct threat to the future of the Sith Lords.)
Sidious of all people should know better about "extinction." Isn't it ironic that the Sith, thought to be no more, took the Jedi by surprise in the Star Wars prequels and the Jedi thought to be wiped out took the Sith by surprise in the Star Wars originals? Did Lucas plan it that way? (SuperShadow: Read the Star Wars plot formula again.
Being taken by surprise is an important element of the Star Wars plot formula found exclusively and featured ONLY at SS.com. How long can you stand on your head in captivity? All I pray for is a ceasing of my laughter for one moment. Why can't I stop my hysterics even if just for a single second? Life gets better and better with no end ever.)
I have wondered about the order of showing my son the Star Wars movies. (SuperShadow: Lucas is utterly mortified of wealth redistribution. The monetary value of all merchandising and filming rights to Star Wars and Indiana Jones is conservatively estimated at $ 25 billion U.S. dollars. If Lucas had to pay a 20 percent tax on this accumulated financial net worth, it would cost Lucas at least $ 5 billion U.S. dollars. Lucas doesn't have this much cash in the bank. He would be forced to sell Star Wars and Indiana Jones in order to pay his taxes.
We should rejoice if Lucas loses control of Star Wars and Indiana Jones because the new owners of these beloved movie franchises will produce an unlimited number of new Star Wars and Indiana Jones film episodes.) He loves the Clone Wars cartoon TV series. If I start with The Phantom Menace, he will not enjoy the "Wow" factor of Darth Vader telling Luke Skywalker: "I am your father." Is it better to start with A New Hope? (SuperShadow: Your decision. Do as you so choose. As a father, this is a choice only you alone can make.)
Whose love story was better Han Solo / Princess Leia or Anakin Skywalker / Padme Amidala? (SuperShadow: Thanks to the infinite incompetence of screen writer Lawrence Kasdan, there was no real romance during the Star Wars classic trilogy. The extended unbounded genius of Lucas provided a well developed and ingenious romance between Anakin and Padme in the amazing Star Wars prequel trilogy. This proves without doubt that Lucas is the greatest script writer of the 20th and 21st centuries. If you disagree, please step forward so that my friends can vaporize you.)
Hello, wouldn't Padme not be Human since she was born on Naboo? (SuperShadow: Humans are derived from many planets. You can be an extraterrestrial, who is also Human.) Also, if you could be any Star Wars character you wanted, who would it be? Your fan. (SuperShadow: I would be a Rodar Wizard because I would naturally be godlike in my powers.)
Yo Supes. I'd like to know who would be victorious in the following light saber duels? Plo Koon & Mace Windu vs. Darth Sidious. (SuperShadow: Instant Sith victory.) Darth Rage vs. Count Dooku. (SuperShadow: Rage wins.) Obi-Wan vs. Plo Koon. (SuperShadow: Obi-Wan can't be defeated by the Jedi.)
Every Thursday I go to the official Star Wars web site to check for a 6 page web comic that leads to the next new episode of the Star Wars The Clone Wars TV show on Friday. It's fun to read and turn pages on line. (SuperShadow: Nobody else cares. Few fans read the official Star Wars web site. Most of the fandom visits SS.com over fifty times a day even though we only update once per 24 hours.)
Pantorans are the blue skinned natives of Orto Plutonia against the Talz that killed a clone squad in the "Trespass" episode of the new Clone Wars. (SuperShadow: So you claim.)
See Threepio makes his 3rd appearance in the Clone Wars episode Trespass. He'll be translating the language of the Talz on Orto Plutonia. (SuperShadow: It will be written by your words.)
I think the audience is ready to see another franchise based on a war. A very serious, fact-based look at how a war could start around 2050. Not the "humans vs. artificial intelligence" of "Terminator: Salvation" but a war that grows out of too many countries building nuclear weapons. (SuperShadow: Your fave friends may work for the F.B.I. Does endless captivity work for ya? I can't stop laughing.)
In "Raiders of the Lost Ark," we had a love story. The love story was ten times more important than the action story, or the plot. People think "Raiders" is one of the best action movies ever made. It works because Indy Jones and Marion were a couple. A couple that we cared about. When Indy thought Marion had been blown up, and then found her tied up in the tent, we were as relieved as he was. (SuperShadow: Your reality can NEVER exist. Freedom will elude you in a few years.)
Lord Shadow, I can offer suggestions and talk about screenwriting theories, but I don't make the decisions. You and George and Steven make the decisions. (SuperShadow: Your obedience to our will cannot be questioned.) I read Frank Darabont's "City of the Gods" and saw David Koepp's version on the screen, and my biggest complaint was:
No incredible unique vision that took us into a place we'd never gone before. Darabont's script felt like it had been xeroxed from other movies. (SuperShadow: The mega masterminds behind the story concept of Indiana Jones 4 and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull would surpass the real gods by a significant margin. Accept this greatness without hesitation or debate in your heart. Eternally worship what you can't grasp with your simplistic mind.)
Lord Shadow, many people were disappointed in this year's Oscar noms. Is there any reason to stay up past midnight to find out which picture wins? Or even to watch the telecast? I would be interested in hearing your opinion someday, maybe the morning after the awards are handed out. (SuperShadow: Awards from Hollywood do not interest me.
I warned each of you far in advance that Lucas would earn zero Oscar nominations for the newest Indiana Jones movie. The Academy's envy of Lucas is boundless similar to your covet of SS.com. You shouldn't have allowed my unbridled genius to destroy your lives. Such tragic fate is difficult to avoid for those without the ability to see the future with time travel technology.)
Hello Mr. SuperShadow. In Star Wars Episode 7, is Mon Mothma going to be the new Supreme Chancellor if there is one? Thanks. (SuperShadow: Definitely.)
Hey SS, is Lucas about done or near complete with the story idea and scripts to the first season of the live action Star Wars TV series? (SuperShadow: Yep, basically finished.) Any possibility for a "Star Wars: Rebel Alliance" title? (SuperShadow: Nothing you ask for becomes real. My prayers to Heaven ask for one simple thing that the other 6.7 billion people of Earth have all their wishes to the sky eternals be ignored in perpetuity. That's why your requests to the Supreme Creator can NEVER be answered.)
Is Fall 2011 the target date for the network broadcast premier of the live action TV series? (SuperShadow: Yes, at the moment. If the unendurable economic depression continues to increase in negative intensity, then Lucas might delay the premiere of the live action TV show to September 2012 or even later.)
Just a suggestion, but I think the live action TV series should be on either the FOX TV network or Spike TV since Spike bought the copyrights to air the 6 Star Wars movies saga or the Sci-Fi TV Channel. (SuperShadow: It is unlikely Lucas will be able to secure a prime time slot on a major TV network in the United States like Fox, NBC, ABC or CBS.
Instead, Lucas will be lucky if Spike or Sci Fi agree to broadcast the live action Star Wars TV series because Lucas wants a substantial share of the commercial TV ad revenues. There's not much demand for Star Wars on television because the new Star Wars The Clone Wars TV show has relatively tiny Nielsen TV ratings on the Cartoon Network. Lucas can't guarantee massive audiences for the live action TV series.)
Master SuperShadow, I remember hearing or reading somewhere that the characters of the Skywalkers were originally going to be Skykiller is that true? (SuperShadow: You already know the answer since ALL your beliefs are hopelessly false.) I am just curious and it was changed mid way through the writing of A New Hope. Just trying to settle a bet, my master. (SuperShadow: In the year 2075, you might emerge to freedom once more. You can't take life for granted because some of you have earned the right to endless suffering with no mercy and no chance of a beautiful life.)

I liked the fan's idea of having a Jedi with Indiana Jones' hat and a light whip, but I have a way to make it better. Since Harrison Ford already plays Han Solo, have Harrison get a hold of a light whip and make say something that he would say as Indy Jones. (SuperShadow: This could happen in Star Wars Episode 7. Your idea will be forwarded to Lucas.)
SS. If George Lucas wants his Star Wars movies to be the exact vision that he had in mind, then why didn't he direct all the movies? (SuperShadow: The fans can never forgive Lucas for not directing the sequels to A New Hope. Directing the first episode of Star Wars was the worst experience of Lucas' life. Lucas promised himself to NEVER direct again.
It was so awful that Lucas wouldn't direct another film until The Phantom Menace in 1997. If Lucas had a time machine, he would return to the past to both direct and solely write the scripts for The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi. We can't forget the sabotage of screen play artist Lawrence Kasdan, director Irvin Kershner and the late Richard Marquand.)
Hello Shadow. This might be a somewhat tricky question for you, but let me ask it anyways. How does a Jedi / Sith know what the Force is telling them to do? (SuperShadow: The Force doesn't directly influence the actions of the Jedi or Sith. The citizens of the Star Wars galaxy have free choice in life. However, the will of the Force does guide the overall fate of the galaxy even if it doesn't interfere in specific cases.)
Do they just go by their instinct or rather what they think is right to do at the time? Or is it both? (SuperShadow: One of the primary themes of Star Wars is the path you decide to take in life. All alone each Star Wars character must choose whether to do good or evil. Some follow the light side of the Force while others choose to accept the ways of the dark side. Choosing the negative direction in Star Wars always leads to self destruction in the end.)
I know this may be a waste of your time, but I always kind of wondered about this. Thanks for clearing this up for me, if you do answer. (SuperShadow: Your questions are worthy of consideration even if I can only provide subjective answers to complex problems with no concrete solutions. Some of you have allowed certain things to ruin your life. It may be what you deserve.)
Shadow, I got an idea, but I think it might not be too good. How about having Spiden fight Luke Skywalker with Shindor at Spiden's side and at the same time Ben Skywalker and Anakin Solo are fighting Darth Maul and Asp during Star Wars Episode 7. (SuperShadow: Quite challenging.) Luke fights ferociously, but then finally kills Spiden and Shindor escapes, but then Darth Bane comes in a star ship.
And Bane tells Luke that Luke will fail because Luke doesn't know the true nature of the Force. Bane activates his light saber and charges at Luke. Their light sabers clash and fight a bloody battle. Meanwhile, Maul and Asp are fighting for their lives. Maul is fighting Ben and Anakin is fighting Asp. Anakin finally kills Asp by jumping off a ledge and Asp follows Anakin, then jumps at Asp and they clash one final time.
Anakin and Asp face the back of each other and Asp's head falls off. Ben then cuts Maul in the right arm and left leg. Ben has Maul at his mercy. Ben wants to strike Maul down, but Anakin stops Ben from doing this. Anakin says if Ben strikes Maul down in anger Ben will go down a path of darkness like our grandfather (SuperShadow: Anakin Skywalker.) did and he shall share Darth Vader's fate.
Ben then says "okay" and leaves Maul. Ben then turns his back and Maul picks up his light saber. Anakin sees this and Ben doesn't. Maul throws it at them. Anakin gets in the way of Ben and the light saber hits Anakin. Maul then escapes. Ben cries in dread because he thinks his cousin is dead.
Luke and Bane are clashing light sabers, but Bane then has the high ground. Luke then says: "I must reach out to the Force." Luke jumps and Bane strikes. Bane misses and Luke cuts Bane's head off. Bane's remains fall off the ledge or building and Luke walks away. (SuperShadow: If you were under surveillance by the U.S. Government, how would you know? Friends on the Internet could be F.B.I. agents in disguise. Laughing uncontrollably is what I do.)
SS, about Obi-Wan giving Vader the victory in A New Hope, why did Obi-Wan? (SuperShadow: Lucas eliminated the Obi-Wan character because Lucas had nothing substantive for Obi-Wan to do after the escape from the death star.)
Could Obi-Wan have killed Vader because the storm troopers didn't even know they were there? (SuperShadow: Ancient Obi-Wan was no legitimate threat to Vader.) Did Obi-Wan think Vader was stronger than Obi-Wan was and had to sacrifice himself because Obi-Wan had no way out? (SuperShadow: Obi-Wan became one with the Force because of a much more important mission Obi-Wan had to guide Luke to Yoda.
This may make no sense, but Lucas was under a lot of pressure when he created Star Wars, which means Lucas was making it all up as he went along. This explains why some of the plot specifics don't really hold up under strict examination thirty years later.)
SuperShadow, I e-mailed you 3 questions about Luke Skywalker's eyes turning yellow and if Vader could have been made comfortable in the respirator if Darth Sidious really wanted, etc. You never answered. Please do. Please, please reply back. (SuperShadow: You are extremely silly. You might be caught in a trap from which there can be no escape.)
SS, why does Luke Skywalker carry 2 bladed light sabers in Star Wars Episodes 7, 8 and 9? (SuperShadow: The Star Wars plot formula rigidly requires the various Jedi and Sith to lose their light sabers. Luke has already experienced this problem during the Star Wars classic trilogy so it makes sense for Luke to carry multiple light sabers in case one is lost or malfunctions.)
SuperShadow, if Luke Skywalker joined Vader in The Empire Strikes Back, but Vader did not have the injuries on Mustafar because Vader beat Obi-Wan, but Obi-Wan escaped with Padme, who would be the more powerful of the two? (SuperShadow: Obi-Wan is more powerful when compared to Vader as a Sith. If Anakin had remained a Jedi, then Anakin would overtake Obi-Wan in Force power.)
Then would the Emperor try to betray Vader and then turn on Vader trying to turn them against each other, but they fight Sidious instead so Vader then kills Sidious and what would become of Yoda, Princess Leia, Han Solo, Chewbacca, Lando Calrissian, Luke Skywalker and Vader? (SuperShadow: If Luke had turned to the dark side, the Rebel Alliance would have lost the civil war against the Empire. Luke and Anakin as Sith Lords would be invincible. The other heroes either would have been killed or captured for life.)
SS, if you've noticed, many people are asking if Lucas will direct the new Star Wars movie trilogy and you keep saying "no." (SuperShadow: Lucas has no means to top the Star Wars prequel trilogy. Not even Star Wars Episode 7 could transcend the prequels.)
But you know, not every movie Lucasfilm makes doesn't have to be about Star Wars. This message is for George Lucas to let him know that he can still make and direct more movies and maybe become even more famous. (SuperShadow: Lucas will NEVER direct a non Star Wars movie. It is important for Lucas to preserve his legacy as the greatest cinematic director, writer and producer of all time ever in history.)
Thank you for your response and send this to Lucas. It might get him back to making ordinary films. (SuperShadow: Lucas isn't going to change. As long as Lucas is financially independent, he will not answer to others.)
Why is Luke Skywalker the most powerful Jedi? (SuperShadow: Lucas says so.) Luke was completely lame in the Star Wars original trilogy. (SuperShadow: Let me guess. You're bitter and overly caustic about life and have nothing better to do than complain about things you can't change.)
Tell Lucas to do something about this. (SuperShadow: You make me sad.) The most powerful Jedi should be a bad ***, not a dork with a 1950's style haircut. (SuperShadow: Your opinion will NEVER matter.) I'd settle for Yoda, but it'd be cooler if it was someone like Anakin Solo. (SuperShadow: Wow. You have no knowledge of Star Wars.
The incompetence of Yoda directly caused the collapse of galactic civilization. In comparison, Luke's heroics defeated the Sith Lords and restored freedom to the galaxy. It's obvious why Luke is vastly superior to Yoda in all categories we can quantify. Lucas wishes you would abandon Star Wars and instead focus on the forthcoming The Hobbit movie. You might have a chance of actually understanding the Middle Earth of JRR Tolkien. Star Wars is too much for ya.)
Don't kill off Anakin Solo in the Star Wars sequels. I'm tired of Lucas killing off interesting characters like Darth Maul, Jango Fett and Mace Windu. You don't have to post. Just take the initiative and save the future Star Wars movies. (SuperShadow: Read the Star Wars plot formula. The villains of Star Wars meet certain doom eventually.)
Why is George Lucas waiting so long to do Star Wars Episodes 10, 11 and 12? (SuperShadow: Why would your thoughts matter? We should worship Lucas. Not provoke baseless criticism based on delusions.) Also, who are the main characters? (SuperShadow: Unknown. SS.com will reveal this info in about twenty years from now.)
Furthermore, are they definitely coming out? (SuperShadow: Not while Lucas is alive. Star Wars Episode 9 will be the last Star Wars film episode made during Lucas' last days.) Sorry for all the questions, but I was really curious. Thanks! (SuperShadow: It's what I do solving the riddles of the Universe.)
What "Indiana Jones 5" needs is a script where Indy reacts to the action going on around him. For decades, he kept his head down and tried not to think about the danger of one wrong step. But now, he's got Marion waiting at home for him. His quest isn't the most important thing in his life. (SuperShadow: Indiana Jones will take needless risks. That's what makes the Indiana Jones movies so exciting and spine tingling.)
"The Watchmen" was a graphic novel. So were "Men In Black" and "Road to Perdition." Maybe the graphic novel is a better form for Star Wars adventures. (SuperShadow: There's no significant money in comic books based on Star Wars. The Star Wars Dark Horse comics only have a few thousand readers each month.)
Will 007 return in a "pre-Craig" formula (more fun, more gadgets, Q, Moneypenny) ever? (SuperShadow: You need to understand how Hollywood works. The movie studios will utilize a certain story formula until they actually destroy their beloved film franchises. James Bond, Rocky, The Matrix, Batman, Star Trek, Rambo, Back to the Future, Superman and innumerable others have been made money black holes over time.
After this unavoidable disaster, the movie studios have to allow the film franchise to rot in the vault until it returns many years later with updated and re-imagined versions like Casino Royale and The Dark Knight. These new plot formula will be followed until the movies become unprofitable again, which is a certainty. This is why you have to admire Lucas for limiting the Star Wars saga in quantity instead of making upteen zillions of Star Wars movies that end the popularity of Star Wars.)
|
What TV channel will the Star Wars The Clone Wars TV series be on BBC One, BBC Two, ITV, four or five? (SuperShadow: Check with the official Star Wars web site to find out the international television broadcasters of the new Clone Wars.)
SS. Couple of questions. Exactly how powerful was Darth Vader? (SuperShadow: Second greatest Sith ever and one of the top ten Jedi ever.) How would Vader's power and light saber style differ if the Star Wars original trilogy was made after the Star Wars prequels? Would Vader be faster?
Thanks! (SuperShadow: The light saber battles from the Star Wars classic trilogy would be completely different if the classics had been created after the prequels. Vader would be quicker, more agile and faster in his motions. The classic duels would mirror what you saw in the prequels. Luke Skywalker would be more impressive also.)
Hello SS, please send this to Mr. Lucas if it meets your standards. During the attack on Cloud City during Star Wars Episode 7, a few Dark Jedi try to attack Luke Skywalker from his left side. Luke just flicks his left hand lightly as if he was swatting a fly, the Dark Jedi fly a cross the room. (SuperShadow: Holy sweetness of temptation.)
If it can be written in that a Dark Jedi in a fight with Darth Vader's clone, the Dark Jedi uses Force lightning against Vader, but like what Yoda did in Star Wars Episode 2 against Count Dooku by making the Force lightning a sphere in his hand. But Vader adds his own Force lightning to it. The size of it increases and Vader throws it towards the defiant Dark Jedi.
If I'm correct Vader's clone should have all his limbs, thus making Force lightning and Force jump, etc. possible, right? (SuperShadow: Mega decisive. This idea will be forwarded to Lucas instantaneously. You need to provide evidence from the Star Wars movies proving that Vader can't fire Force lightning from his hands. If you have no proof, then we must accept the fact that Vader can utilize all Force powers.)
Jennifer Hale gives Aayla Secura a French accent. Perhaps the other Twileks will sound like when the Separatists invade their home world Ryloth later in the Clone Wars TV series. (SuperShadow: Embrace fascism.)
Jedi Crash was another great episode of the new Clone Wars. Katie Lucas wrote it. (SuperShadow: Why can't Lucas adopt me? Being George Lucas III would rage.) I'm glad Rex survived. (SuperShadow: Unfortunate.) The Clone Wars is a galaxy wide conflict. There's no escape for those pacifist Lurmen. Can't believe they are so able to deal with those deadly turkey headed mastif on Maridun without killing them.
They should not blame the Jedi for the big trouble when General Lok Durd and his droid army invade their world. Can Anakin Skywalker, Ahsoka Tano, Aayla, Rex and Bly be strong enough to take on those clankers alone and prove they're peacekeepers? Will the Lurmen choose the right side and will Admiral Yularen find them with reinforcements? Find out in the Defenders of Peace episode. (SuperShadow: Very impulsive.)
After Anakin Skywalker killed off Durge, Anakin helped Obi-Wan finish off Asajj Ventress after Count Dooku and General Grievous left Asajj behind to face capture or death. But Ventress faked death and fled in a shuttle to parts unknown. All this in the Republic comics. (SuperShadow: Not accepted by Lucas.)
I just have to say. The TV episode of the Clone Wars when Kenobi and Skywalker were working with Count Dooku was awesome! Never would have expected it. (SuperShadow: When you create a weekly TV series with 22 individual episodes each season, you run out of concepts extremely fast. The Star Wars galaxy seems so small given how the major Star Wars characters meet one another all the time.)
Honorable Shadow, I just want to give you an idea for the Star Wars The Force Unleashed 2 video game. Why not have some historic missions with you playing in Star Wars Episode One as Obi-Wan Kenobi with Qui-Gon Jinn and you fight Darth Maul? (SuperShadow: No.) Then you play as Darth Sidious for the first time and you fight Yoda, who is mad hard to beat.
Then Mace Windu in Star Wars Episode 3 fighting Palpatine. You defeat him and then well you know what happens. When you beat the video game and have completed all the historic missions, you get three more historic missions as a bonus. (SuperShadow: Sorta silly.) You play as Anakin Skywalker and fight Obi-Wan on Mustafar and kill Obi-Wan and it ends with Lucas' vision of that ending.
Second, you play as Darth Vader and fight Obi-Wan Kenobi in the death star. This next one I thought of I think it's brilliant, but not as brilliant as you are, SS. (SuperShadow: I have no equal. This includes the machine immortals.) You fight as Vader and fight Luke Skywalker in the second death star. You fight Luke and eventually triumph.
You have Luke at your mercy and the Emperor says to Luke: "Join us, Skywalker, or die." Luke refuses and the Emperor enraged with Luke's defiance uses Force lightning on Luke. Vader sees his son suffer and has had enough Vader uses Force push on his Sith Master stopping the Force lightning and then guess what happens next you Darth Vader or Anakin Skywalker, whatever you prefer, goes to complete the prophecy of the chosen one.
In the light saber duel, you are badly injured, but with the Force on your side you kill the Emperor by being in a Force collide and he ruptures your life support system, but you throw the Emperor into the death star reactor core and destroy him.
Then you collapse. Luke tries to get you to safety, but you say: "Go and leave me." Luke refuses, but you know he will never make it if you are with him. You let go and say: "I love you son tell your sister you had seen the good in me that no one saw now go."
You die. Luke manages to escape and burns his father's mask and armor at the Jedi funeral pyre. The end. (SuperShadow: Absolutely rejected. Never gonna happen. Not even if there are an unlimited number of parallel Universes where all things can actually happen.)
|
Shadow, I think you should have a Rodar Wizard in the next Star Wars movie trilogy leading the Dark Jedi. (SuperShadow: Behold, we have been blessed to see the gods. This line of dialogue from Doctor Who Season 30 still makes me chortle.) Darth Plagueis learned certain techniques from a Rodar Wizard so it's feasible that there's at least one around the galaxy somewhere. (SuperShadow: The advanced immortals would be invisible to us.)
Luke Skywalker needs someone immense to challenge him in the next Star Wars movie trilogy and no matter how bad *** Spiden is he's still only a Dark Jedi and even the Sith would be no match for Luke as he's the greatest ever Jedi at this time. (SuperShadow: Nobody, not even Luke, realizes that Luke is the number one best Jedi Master of all time. Taking people by complete surprise is such a valuable art.)
Also, if Darth Maul and/or Darth Bane are going to make an appearance, surely they will be more powerful than Spiden and should be leading the Dark Jedi. (SuperShadow: No. After Return of the Jedi, the Sith Lords NEVER again control the galaxy.) Or better yet Maul and Bane should be trained and led by the Rodar Wizard and become more powerful than any Sith has ever been. (SuperShadow: This is agreeable to me. It will be forwarded to Lucas.)
What's up, SS. (SuperShadow: The UNC Tar Heels defeated the Florida State Seminoles at the last second with a three point shot. You were each certain that the Tar Heels had no chance at victory. Ye of no faith.) Living the good life, hopefully. (SuperShadow: Beyond Heaven. It's no accident I'm the most envied person in the Universe.)
Could the Jedi, that Darth Vader was hunting down, try to kill Vader by using the Force to rip off the mechanical components of his armor that were keeping Vader alive? (SuperShadow: Intense ultra genius. Similar to the Darth Vader battle damage from the Star Wars The Force Unleashed video game. This idea will be sent to Lucas.)
Hey SuperShadow, what do you think: Indiana Jones needs to go on another epic adventure in the next movie to find the legendary sword Excalibur. (SuperShadow: Rejected. The Universe is not silly.) In the end when Indiana Jones finds it, Indy has to face a Chinese blade master with a legendary Chinese sword, who turns out to be Short Round's father under mind control. (SuperShadow: Not even. Reality is not absurd.)
For the ending, Shorty saves his dad from mind control so the Chinese blade master can help Indy Jones defeat the evil Chinese communist leaders. Bows before you. (SuperShadow: No way. The planet isn't nonsensical. Believing in the Rapture gives people the false hope of avoiding terrifying debacles above your wildest nightmares. You will be trapped under 500 feet of molten debris and still no divine rescue.)
SuperShadow! I just had an idea that is quite funny, but may work. In Star Wars Episodes 7, 8 or 9, during one of the land battles between the Jedi and Dark Jedi, pan the camera back to where everyone is really small on screen, but in one corner, have a Jedi wearing a certain fedora that we all know and love, fighting a Dark Jedi with a light whip. (SuperShadow: Simply brilliant.)
It's kind of a cameo, but also a tribute. Also, there would be no legal issues since Lucas owns Indy Jones. Thanks and please post. (If Harrison Ford agrees to, you should let him have the part of Master Jones.) (SuperShadow: Most excellent. This concept will be given to Lucas.)
Who would win in a fight: Obi-Wan Kenobi in his prime or Qui-Gon Jinn in his prime? (SuperShadow: Obi-Wan since he is the luckiest Jedi of all time with the will of the Force constantly helping Obi-Wan avoid the icy cold hand of death.)
Is there an explanation given for why Darth Tyranus' light saber handle is bent? (SuperShadow: The Star Wars plot formula strictly requires new light saber blade designs.) Who is stronger: Darth Tyranus (Count Dooku) or Darth Maul? (SuperShadow: Definitely Tyranus.)
If Anakin Skywalker HADN'T fought with Obi-Wan and was able to live to Anakin's prime, would Anakin be able to defeat Luke in Luke's prime? (SuperShadow: I don't think so.) After all the dark side IS more powerful than the light side, right? (SuperShadow: Technically true, but Luke is basically invincible under all situations.)
SS, here's one for you. What is the difference between the most powerful Jedi and the chosen one? (SuperShadow: The most powerful Jedi doesn't have to be the chosen one. However, the chosen one must be the individual, who balances the Force by destroying the Sith Lords. Luke Skywalker is the most powerful Jedi while Anakin Skywalker is the chosen one. This is based on the official vision of Lucas.)
The Foundation series (SuperShadow: A collection of science fiction books written by author Isaac Asimov.) is all about story, and when you have the disintegration and then collapse of a grand galactic empire that is then rebuilt from two separate sources on opposite edges of the galaxy, you have one **** of a story. (SuperShadow: Asimov is overrated.)
Lord Shadow, I want to get serious about discussing what "Indiana Jones 5" needs to move onto the All-Time Best List. So, the emotional journey of Indiana Jones goes from feeling old, and useless, and simply counting the days until he's dead to a man who has an enthusiasm for life.
And that's because Indy knows he can use the Fountain of Youth any time, so as long as he still has some influence as a war hero named Indiana Jones, he's going to try to right as many wrongs as he can. (SuperShadow: Interesting.)
Lord Shadow, I think I've submitted enough "plot elements" to move on to the next step. In "Raiders of the Lost Ark," George wanted the audience to feel the excitement he used to feel watching the matinees on Saturday morning. He created a story with Steven about "his hero" - a man wearing a leather jacket who jumped on a horse, and chased after Nazis driving trucks and a Mercedes staff car. Indy suspected Belloq was overconfident, and would lead the Nazis into destruction? (SuperShadow: Inquisitive.)
Lord Shadow, over on George's page at SS.com:
GEORGE LUCAS: The inspiration for Star Wars was the science fiction film serials I use to watch in the local theater as a child on a weekly basis.
They were exciting, right? (SuperShadow: Semi sorta almost.) Full of people having fantastic adventures? (SuperShadow: Perhaps. I guess.) Today's audiences have grown up with "Titanic" shown on much larger screens. Their memories are different. Their expectations are different. (SuperShadow: Very instinctive.)
Dear SS, how come we never get a background on General Grievous? He just randomly appears in Star Wars Episode 3. (SuperShadow: Lucas never provides historical data about the villains seen in the Star Wars films. The Star Wars plot formula requires the introduction of a new bad guy in each Star Wars movie. Grievous served this role for Revenge of the Sith.)
Majestic 12 fate controller SS. I thought you weren't going to work against the Duke University basketball team because of their netherworld connections. (SuperShadow: I hereby apologize to the people, leaders and military of the former Soviet Union for the drastic drop in petroleum prices. I will intervene (very, very extremely reluctantly) to save Western Civilization in order to make Russia the wealthiest nation in world history.
I do not fear the Soviet Spetsnaz. That has nothing to do with my decision. Honestly.) I guess making a deal with you is similar to the horror experienced by Lando Calrissian during The Empire Strikes Back when he made an agreement that Darth Vader had no intention of keeping. Bravo to all things you! (SuperShadow: Provide evidence of such sabotage by me. Otherwise, I will continue to laugh until the dinosaurs return as supreme rulers of Earth.)

Is George Lucas going to do another Star Wars TV show like the new Clone Wars? (SuperShadow: Yes, if the Clone Wars TV show remains popular in the Nielson TV ratings, then you can expect to see additional computer animated Star Wars TV shows in the future.)
It could be about the creation of the Old Republic. (SuperShadow: This might happen. Lucas would like to reveal what happened during the ancient days of the Sith and Jedi.) He could include Naga Sadow and more characters. I have a lot of ideas. (SuperShadow: Totally unrestricted. Your concepts will be forwarded to Lucas.)
SS. Is it possible that Obi-Wan gave Darth Vader the victory in A New Hope when Obi-Wan saw Luke watching the light saber duel with Vader because Obi-Wan didn't want Darth Vader to say anything to Luke that would give anything away about the past? Just curious. Thanks! (SuperShadow: Yep. Obi-Wan was going to trick Luke about the truth for as long as possible. Obi-Wan needed Luke to have intense hatred of Vader before Luke found out Vader was really Anakin Skywalker, the biological father of Luke and Princess Leia.)
Will George Lucas direct the Star Wars sequel trilogy? (SuperShadow: After the awestruck commercial and critical success of the Star Wars prequel trilogy, Lucas is NOT going to direct any more Star Wars movies. Lucas fully knows he can't improve on the prequels. Third party directors will be hired to helm Star Wars Episodes 7, 8 and 9. Preferably James Cameron, Ridley Scott and Peter Jackson.)
What episode will Mace Windu appear in!? (SuperShadow: Windu will have a limited, but significant role in Star Wars Episode 7. The Star Wars plot formula requires a major Jedi Master to perish in the first episode of each Star Wars movie trilogy. Windu might satisfy this story element of the Star Wars plot formula in Star Wars Episode 7.)
The X Files 2 film was a pretty good X Files though not a good mythology episode with aliens, etc. (SuperShadow: The X Files I Want To Believe was kinda awful. That explains why it had a paltry box office gross in cineplexes.) Which is probably what most fans wanted.
Do you know whether the reception to the X Files 2 film has ruined the chance of a more mythology based X Files 3 film? (SuperShadow: The X Files 2 movie didn't generate enough money to justify continuing the X Files as high budget motion pictures. If the X Files 3 movie happens, it will be a reboot of the X Files franchise with new actors in the roles of Fox Mulder and Dana Scully. There will be no further sabotage from David Duchovny.)
Previously posted at SS.com, the unquestioned center of the Universe: "(SuperShadow: Lucas and I have no interest in character development.)"
Then let me have the fun of showing you the joy of great character development. (SuperShadow: Why can't I ever stop laughing? It can't continue for ever and ever. Can it?) Or not. (SuperShadow: Agreed. Definitely not. Star Wars doesn't have enough screen time minutes to waste on worthless character development.)
Character development should be the RESULT of the action sequences. (SuperShadow: Absolutely wrong. You might try watching one of the available Star Wars movies. They are currently on DVD at a premium price, which Lucas fully deserves as a result of Lucas dedicating his entire life to the fans. Lucas sacrificed his beloved marriage with Marcia specifically for you.) It shouldn't interfere with them at all. (SuperShadow: Story exposition serves no legitimate purpose.)
When Indy Jones survived an atomic blast inside a fridge made of lead, did it CHANGE his view of the world situation in any way? (SuperShadow: It would be easy to survive an atomic explosion from a localized suitcase nuclear device. The Russian Spetsnaz have thoroughly tested these weapons over the last 50 years or so.)
Most of the huge moneymakers (except possibly for "Jaws") have been based on the genre of Myth. (SuperShadow: Not even slightly accurate. Sometimes I'm convinced you must live in North Korea.)
The easiest way to make a blockbuster, the one that has the best chance of success, is to frighten the audience out of their wits. (SuperShadow: Terrifying people rocks.) In other words, Really Scary Martians. (SuperShadow: There is one thing that has always been true and will be true for eternity: Extraterrestrials can't be real especially intelligent life forms indigenous to Mars.)
Some SF (SuperShadow: Short for science fiction.) movies attempt to explore "what it means to be human, by comparing us to other lifeforms that are not human." Specifically, humans who run into highly intelligent robots that we built ourselves, (Battlestar Galactica) or species that evolved on other planets. (ET). (SuperShadow: If foreign alien civilizations are actual, why can't you personally prove it? You can't provide any evidence for your ridiculous theories about reality. I suppose you'll tell me you once saw Bigfoot.)
Lord Shadow, my impression was that Steven considered Shia LaBeouf a "star of the future" for DreamWorks, and put him in "Crystal Skull" to give him more exposure. (SuperShadow: LaBeouf works cheap. That's why Lucas agreed to hire LaBeouf for the role of Mutt Williams for Indiana Jones 4 and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.)
And to increase the opening weekend gross for "Transformers 2." (SuperShadow: I will wager that the Transformers 2 movie will earn a minimum of $ 350 million U.S. dollars in North America. It has an outside chance of being the most lucrative film in theaters for 2009. I wish an E.T. species could really be factual.)
Yoda is way more powerful that Darth Sidious. You can see in the Revenge of the Sith light saber duel at the end when it's a test of strength with light sabers first. (SuperShadow: 90 percent of the war strategists from history, considered to be military geniuses, had extremely negative fates. How smart can you be if you lose the overall war struggle?)
Sidious is on top then you can see Yoda's power come through and Sidious struggles same at the end with the Force lightning. Sidious is on top then Yoda uses his full power and blows Sidious away. (SuperShadow: You shouldn't read SS.com without prior authorization. They are everywhere.)

Hey SuperShadow, if Darth Vader had survived in the Return of the Jedi movie, would Anakin Skywalker and Luke Skywalker rule the galaxy as father and son? (SuperShadow: Very, very naive. Vader killed billions of sentient beings during his days with the Empire. Permanent imprisonment for Vader would have been the best Vader could hope for if he lived after Return of the Jedi.)
And if Vader had survived, would he continue to stay in the mechanical suit? (SuperShadow: No, most certainly not. If Vader were still alive, he would have completely changed the way he looked. No more Darth Vader in his classic black mask and armor.) And how old were Anakin and Luke before they perished? (SuperShadow: Anakin Skywalker was forty something years old when he died at the end of the Star Wars classic trilogy. Luke was over 300 years old before Luke became one with the Force.)
Perhaps the live action Star Wars TV series should have some familiar alien species and familiar planets. (SuperShadow: Guaranteed.) Perhaps in Season 2 of the new Star Wars The Clone Wars TV show, we should see characters like Durge, Ki Adi Mundi, Shaak Ti, Barris Offee, Even Piell, Agen Kolar, Saasee Tiin, Even Piell, Bail Organa, Separatist council members and some new characters. (SuperShadow: Over the next five seasons of the Clone Wars television series, nearly every character from the Star Wars prequel trilogy will be featured at least once.)
In the "Jedi Crash" episode of the new Clone Wars, Aayla Secura made a reference to her master Quinlan Vos whom she eventually parted ways with. She appears to be a Jedi Master. Aayla and Ahsoka Tano have one thing in common: they both survived close encounters with General Grievous. (SuperShadow: If I can stop laughing, it will be a massive surprise.)
Ruwee Naberrie was Padme's father and yes he along with Jobal, Sola, Ryoo and Poja Naberrie were at Padme's funeral with Jar Jar Binks, Boss Nass, Quenn Apilana, Captain Typho and Governor Sio Bibble. I wonder if family friend Uncle Ono Rodian Senator Onaconda Farr was there? (SuperShadow: You are extremely silly.)
SS, in the Clone Wars TV show, I think Ahsoka Tano should be killed by Asajj Ventress. (SuperShadow: Definitely not.) Then Anakin Skywalker sees this and Ventress has real people, not droids, real people to help her. There are about 40 to 50 people in the room all in Anakin's way to Ventress and they try to kill Anakin.
Anakin slays them all, but he is bursting with rage and Ventress escapes. Anakin tries to find Ventress for weeks until finally Anakin finds her on a droid factory with molten hot liquid below them and it helps to make the droids. Anakin fights Ventress and injures her in the fight. Anakin then strikes her down and she is slipping down into a machine and is trapped.
Anakin has Ventress at his mercy and says: "I would rather see you captured and punished for your wrongs." Anakin walks away contacting Obi-Wan and says: "I have captured Ventress and I am bringing her in." Just then when Anakin finishes his conversation, Ventress jumps out and lashes at Anakin with all her fury.
Anakin is on the higher ground and Ventress slashes away. She has Anakin in a light saber lock and then jumps thinking Anakin is more powerful and Anakin says: "You fool." Anakin cuts Ventress and she tumbles down into a pit of molten hot liquid. Her hand sticks out then is consumed and then Anakin says: "Good riddance." (SuperShadow: Whoa. Totally mesmerizing. This will be forwarded to Lucas.)
Have you ever thought your imagination would come to life like the movie Never Ending Story? (SuperShadow: The "Never Ending Story" song from Limahl is a classic. Read the lyrics of this music closely and you will learn the secrets of the Universe.)
How is the Clone Wars TV show doing in the Nielsen TV ratings system? (SuperShadow: The new Clone Wars averages between 1.5 million to 2 million viewers each Friday night for new episodes.)
Hello SuperShadow. Who do you think played the role of James Bond best? I say Sean Connery and Roger Moore are miles above the rest. (SuperShadow: I don't have a fave James Bond actor. It's all equal to me. For Your Eyes Only is what I consider to be the best James Bond 007 film.)
Also what color will Luke Skywalker's light saber blade be in the new Star Wars movie trilogy? (SuperShadow: During Star Wars Episodes 7, 8 and 9, Luke will carry two light sabers at all times, which will be one green and one blue blade.)
Hey Shadow, what's up. (SuperShadow: You gotta love being on the edge of destruction constantly.) Do you watch any TV shows like: Lost, Vampire Chronicles or 24 etc.? (SuperShadow: Nay. None of these.) If you do, which ones are your favorites? (SuperShadow: I don't watch new modern TV series.)
If not, why? (SuperShadow: Because I alone know the true origins of these written stories. I'm not deceived like the rest of society.) Don't you think that one of those script writers would be good Star Wars writers? (SuperShadow: Lucas hires script writers for the Star Wars TV shows that accept the minimum possible salary. Lucas can't afford to hire screen play artists from major TV network shows.)
Lord Shadow, many people complain when they buy a DVD and it doesn't have any Bonus Features. (SuperShadow: Most movie studios are now requiring the public to pay extra money to get a second DVD disc with bonus features. There's nothing we can do about it.)
Lord Shadow, whenever I try to think about ways to copy the excitement of the Trench Run (Star Wars Episode 4: A New Hope) I always come up short. (SuperShadow: Nobody can match the genius of Lucas.) I remember standing in a shopping mall, where a store had a TV on display in their window, and shoppers would stop to watch the whole thing.
The Trench Run was compelling. Fascinating. Mesmerizing. It was an Impossible Mission, and if Luke failed, all of his New Best Friends would die. (SuperShadow: Actually most of the Rebel pilots joined the choir invisible during the death star attack from A New Hope.)
One of the drawbacks of the blog format is you have to keep repeating the ground rules for late arrivals. Old-timers really enjoy George's insights into the creative process. (SuperShadow: Take a moment to worship the grandeur of Lucas. You will be blessed for your efforts.)
I'm worried that the hour-long format isn't going to produce huge amounts in syndication sales. The local stations seem geared to showing half-hour comedies aimed at a young demographic. (SuperShadow: I don't really care. Lucas will make excessive profits from the live action Star Wars TV series regardless of your concerns.)
Hey Soops - just a couple of questions. Someone asked today if Palpatine is Padme's father. Isn't Padme's father shown in the deleted scenes of Star Wars Episode 2? (SuperShadow: I believe film footage of Padme's family on Naboo was shot by Lucas.) Are the deleted scenes considered gospel? (SuperShadow: Whatever. This is frivolous. The deleted scenes, featured in the DVD's of the Star Wars prequel trilogy, are NOT the official vision of Lucas. If these scenes were intended to be official Star Wars canon, they would have been edited into the prequel movies.)
Also I had my first baby last week (little Leia!) (SuperShadow: Congratulations to ya. That's fantastic.) Do you have any advice on how I should introduce Star Wars to her? (SuperShadow: Not really.) At what age? (SuperShadow: As soon as she starts watching television. You need to indoctrinate her with the love of Star Wars immediately. Make sure to buy her every single Star Wars collectible so that she will understand it is her obligation to continue the financial viability of Lucasfilm.)
Should I show her everything in order or should I start with the Droids cartoon TV series? Thanks. (SuperShadow: Lucas advises to start with The Phantom Menace watching the primary Star Wars film episodes in order from Star Wars Episode 1 and conclude with Return of the Jedi. The ancient Star Wars TV shows don't really matter.)
|
Hi SS! Is Mara Jade in Star Wars Episode VI Return of the Jedi? Does she try to kill Luke Skywalker? (SuperShadow: No. That's absurd. Furthermore, I'm NOT going to take orders from an extraterrestrial empire that I don't believe really exists. If the alien entities want to get my attention, they can flatten me with the mother star ship. Meanwhile, I will continue to laugh and laugh for what remains of recorded Human history.)
Kneel before General Zod, just kidding. (SuperShadow: The E.T. beings of our Universe make General Zod of Krypton look like a pious nun. You will worship them if they so choose, but remember they are not factual. I will now resume my constant laughing. In a few trillion years, my hysterics will finish.)
Hey SuperShadow, I was wondering if there will be another Indiana Jones movie within the next few years? (SuperShadow: No way. Indiana Jones 5 is a minimum of five years into the future. The very earliest it could happen is May of 2014 because at the moment director Steven Spielberg, actor Harrison Ford and mega genius executive producer Lucas are too busy to work on Indy Jones 5.)
We can't wait another 20 years. (SuperShadow: It could be a longer wait this time around. Lucas will live to be over 90 years old so he is in no hurry.) Because if you follow the timeline that would put us in 1977, the disco era. (SuperShadow: Very funny.) Imagine Indy Jones in an updated Club Obi-Wan with disco music and disco balls. (SuperShadow: Totally hilarious.)
Better yet Indy Jones takes his grandson to see the opening of Star Wars and his grandson says to Indy Jones: "You look like Han Solo." And let's say the villains show up in the theatre during the attack on the death star and Indy's grandson takes out a bad guy and Indy says: "Great shot, kid. That was one in a million" at the same time Han Solo says that on the silver film screen. Seriously, keep up the great work you and George do. (SuperShadow: Lucas will enjoy reading your musings on the parallels between the alternate realities Lucas has created.)
After C-3PO & R2-D2 are taken hostage by the Dark Jedi in the next Star Wars movie trilogy, one of the Dark Jedi says: "What are the chances of your friends rescuing you two?" C-3PO replies: "500 to 1." (SuperShadow: The droids' captivity will end. Yours never will. I can't stop laughing at you.)
Good day, SS. (SuperShadow: Each day waiting for Star Wars Episode 7 gets better and better. May time pass as slowly as feasible by the laws of physics. Don't you all agree?) For the light saber battles outside in the upcoming Star Wars movies, is it possible to show time passing by showing a battle that begins before dusk as the sun(s) are setting and have the moon(s) in the back ground? Most people believe a duel takes a few minutes. (SuperShadow: Action sequences in Star Wars unfold rapidly with great haste and only last 15 to 20 minutes on the screen at the most. This can't change.)
Does Darth Vader ever think of Padme during the Star Wars classic trilogy? (SuperShadow: Vader dwells on his memories of Padme for the rest of his life. Padme's death, caused by Vader, constantly haunts Vader.)
SuperShadow, don't you think by the time the Star Wars live action TV series debuts in 2011 the fans are going to be sick to death of Star Wars? (SuperShadow: Why? True fans can't get enough of Star Wars. Perhaps you should get in line for Star Trek 11. Again, I must laugh for a few more eons.) By the way, is there any truth to the rumor that the live action Star Wars TV series will be titled: "Star Wars: Rebel Alliance?" (SuperShadow: Have you ever been right about anything in your entire life? No, I didn't think so.)
I saw Lucas on the news at the inauguration. He was dancing. I'm glad he continues to direct movies. (SuperShadow: I was with Lucas. Yeah, I was the person constantly mistaken for a Greek god. That much you all know.)
If you were to remake the Star Wars classic trilogy, would you show Darth Vader with much more agility and light sabre skills? (SuperShadow: Of course. The light saber duels from the classics would mirror the ferocity and intensity of the exhilarating Star Wars prequels.) I do not buy the notion that Vader is an old person as Count Dooku was even older and proved to be an awesome adversary. (SuperShadow: Only because Christopher Lee's face was computer generated over the face of a young stunt double for the light saber battles featured in Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith.)
Neither do I buy that Vader's robotics restricted his movement. It would make Vader more powerful if anything - see General Grievous, who had much less living tissue than Vader. I feel Vader is sold kinda short in the Star Wars classic trilogy, although I am willing to except that the film making technology at the time was the reason for his limitations, not the fact that he was much weaker after the Mustafar battle. Thank you, SuperShadow. (SuperShadow: Exactly right. The crap technology of the late 1970's and early 1980's is why the light saber performances in the classics are so lame and hugely awful. It still embarrasses Lucas to this day, but there's nothing he can do about it.)
Previously posted on the master mind SS.com: "(SuperShadow: The reason Sidious is the greatest political and military strategist in history is because he wouldn't make massively incompetent mistakes like an average person would make.)"
An action hero depends on the villain's competence to make him heroic. There has to be a point, about an hour and a half into the movie, where the Hero fears all is lost. (SuperShadow: In fictional movies and television shows, the bad guys outsmart themselves, which allows the heroes to prevail.)
Lord Shadow, as long as we're brainstorming the Fountain of Youth concept, we should think about the music. Specifically, the powerful music from "E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial." (SuperShadow: Exotic aliens would have an infinite number of catchy melodic hooks to unleash on inferior species.)
After you use the Fountain of Youth five or six times, the memories of several lifetimes send your brain into overload. So, it's not Immortality. Seen from our current level of technology, it's Magic. (SuperShadow: No matter how ridiculous I become, my friends can be even more bizarre. Why can't I outwit the mega machine intelligence?
The fact I can sense things my friends don't inform me about makes them suspect I conspire with an invisible civilization that is undetectable to them. Imagine their alarm. They are much more helpless against the true gods compared to how defenseless we remain to extraterrestrials. We can't prove E.T. are real. Similarly, alien entities have no evidence to support the existence of divine ethereals. An ironic paradox.)
What planet was General Grievous created on? (SuperShadow: We don't know. Grievous was originally born on Kalee.) I heard Grievous was created on the planet of Geonosis. (SuperShadow: Fan rumors are never correct.) I also heard that he was present during the Battle of Geonosis. (SuperShadow: Not accurate at all.) Is this true or is this just fan speculation? (SuperShadow: Silliness.) If it is, then can you tell me what planet he was created on? (SuperShadow: Unknown.)
Hey SS, is there anywhere I can view previous episodes of the new Star Wars The Clone Wars computer animated TV series? (SuperShadow: Try the official Star Wars web site. Practically no one visits it because they have no Star Wars content worth reading. You have SS.com to credit for a greedy, money required for premium materials Star Wars web site. Lucas follows our lead.)
Privileged Shadow, what's the big deal about the fall of Mankind? Civilization is overrated as far as I'm concerned. I say bring it on quickly. We're ready to return to the simpler times of the Neanderthals. Fighting for daily survival is a lot more exciting than what most of us currently experience. (SuperShadow: Right on, my dear good close comrade. The collapse of technological society is not the worst thing that can happen to you.
At least with systemic global meltdown, a very, very, very sparse few of you will be allowed to enter into the horrors of the post apocalyptic world. This isn't even ranked in the top ten worst case scenarios for Humans. You should feel fortunate the planet isn't obliterated into space dust. Be appreciative of the endless terror you will inherit.
It is an honor to perpetually endure the Mad Max (The Road Warrior) reality. We have been blessed for sure. Special thanks is deserved indeed. As an important reminder, the next time you nefariously conspire against the righteous make sure they don't control YOUR world. Making permanent adversaries is NOT wise.)

Hey SS, I thought it was funny seeing the rod of Obi-Wan's light saber when he is pointing it right at the camera during his light saber duel with Darth Vader in A New Hope. Did Lucas catch this? (SuperShadow: Lucas corrected the light saber mistakes for the 2004 DVD release of the Star Wars classic trilogy.)
Master of the Multiverse SS, you must be sick of hearing how people keep on talking about "The Dark Knight" this, "Moral Dilemma" that and so am I. (SuperShadow: Wrong as always. If you could see how much time I spend laughing each day, you would be shocked. I'm literally laughing for several hours each day.)
These so called Star Wars fans fail to see that Star Wars is so much more advanced and gives the audience much more than The Dark Knight ever did. (SuperShadow: Why can't you enjoy BOTH Star Wars and Batman equally with no criticism? Don't be a zero at life.) For example, we see that practically every major character in the Star Wars films exhibit portrayals of Moral Dilemma in their actions and choices, even their facial expressions.
Padme was torn apart with dilemmas after finding out Anakin turned to the dark side, including being the bearer of their children. Obi-Wan clearly didn't want to confront Anakin and try to kill Anakin, but Obi-Wan only did so to not only try to turn Anakin back to good, but to save the galaxy from Darth Sidious and Anakin. (SuperShadow: You are mistaken.)
Yoda was defeated by Sidious and for the first time we see Yoda helpless after losing faith in himself since the Jedi Order and the Old Republic collapsed, along with his personal defeat against the #1 Sith. Must I go on? (SuperShadow: Nobody cares.) The point is, Star Wars Episode 3 by itself already has a lot of "Moral Dilemma."
Much more than The Dark Knight does (by the way I watched it and loved it, but not even close to as much as I love Star Wars) and it bothers me that a lot of these Dark Knight fans do not see it. (SuperShadow: Their opinions are worthless. Not a single person listens to them. It makes me even more hysterical to explain how pathetic they are.)
Evidently, Star Wars is so much more expansive in quality and imagination than any of us can comprehend besides you, the all powerful SS and Grand Master Lucas. (SuperShadow: You should NEVER limit my abilities.) The proof is that we still do not know many Star Wars plot formula examples while they are known to both of you. Thanks for all of your hard work here at SS.com. It is greatly appreciated. (SuperShadow: I say this over and over again, but I guess I need to express it again. The only words that matter are mine.)
P.S. Save our world, please! (SuperShadow: Your civilization has already been judged. Watch out for endless torment.) I know you said "the nightmare never ends," but I believe this world can become a "dream come true" instead through your influence. (SuperShadow: I have no interest in this. The sole means to save Western Civilization is to invent time travel technology and completely rewrite the past. We can do it. Why can't you? Otherwise, you are doomed with certainty.)
Hi Shadow. I hope all is well. (SuperShadow: Envy me. Need I elaborate more?) Anyways, I am going to ask you another question that is just like the other one I sent some time ago rather than the other one of which has already been answered of that of General Grievous knowing about Order 66 in which that was in a way, very similar thinking a lot like I had.
(I like to thank that person.) Here is my question. What would have happened had Obi-Wan actually believed what Count Dooku said and joined Dooku in what Dooku claimed was the overthrowing of Darth Sidious? (SuperShadow: The Star Wars plot formula requires the Sith to betray each other. Dooku was deceiving Obi-Wan. Dooku had no intent to end the Sith conspiracy. Instead, Dooku wanted to replace Sidious as the Sith Master and make Obi-Wan into Dooku's Sith apprentice.)
Thanks for any guess. (SuperShadow: My opinions are fact based on the official vision of Lucas. My authority over all things Star Wars has been accepted by the fandom for over 15 years. It doesn't end.) I am not sure if you already answered this. Sorry if you have. This is in reference to Star Wars Episode 2. (SuperShadow: I have spoken.)
SS, I have an idea. How about you have the Anakin Force spirit appear a lot with Luke Skywalker in Star Wars Episode 7, 8 and 9? (SuperShadow: This can't happen.) Luke could have two guardians Anakin and the Force. Luke goes to a remote planet because Luke was sent a note that a powerful Dark Jedi had a belonging to Luke. (SuperShadow: Nah.)
So Luke goes to the planet and once Luke gets there, Luke sees this powerful Dark Jedi with an army of Imperial troops. (SuperShadow: No. All former Imperial storm troopers were imprisoned for life by the New Republic for atrocities committed during the Empire's reign of terror.) The Dark Jedi shows Luke his father's light saber. (SuperShadow: No. Not even.)
The huge army of Imperial troops attack Luke. The Anakin Force spirit comes and actually fights with Luke and they both defeat the huge Imperial army. (SuperShadow: Kinda silly.) But the Anakin spirit disappears and tells Luke: "I'm always here for you." Than Luke defeats the powerful Dark Jedi and Luke regains his father's light saber. Just an idea for you. Please respond back. Thanks! (SuperShadow: No way.)
SS, about the cloned Darth Vader and cloned Luke Skywalker in Star Wars Episodes 7, 8 and 9, I think they should kill Asp, Darth Bane and Darth Maul. Asp joins Bane and Maul because they promise to make Asp rich and powerful beyond his wildest dreams. (SuperShadow: The Dark Jedi already have trillions of credits. Asp needs nothing from Bane or Maul.)
Cloned Vader should kill Bane by either cutting Bane's head off, Force choking Bane or throw Bane into a machine that shreds Bane into a thousand pieces. (SuperShadow: Nyet. Absolutely horrid in every facet.) Then cloned Luke kills Maul and Asp by cutting Maul in half this time from head to torso and Asp he just runs away. (SuperShadow: N.E.V.E.R.)
On the Mace Windu subject, it was like twenty years after Star Wars Episode Three and even if Mace communicated with Obi-Wan Kenobi or Yoda, Mace would've known their plan on when Luke Skywalker emerged. (SuperShadow: What's your point?)
Also Star Wars 4 - 7 was like only about a 6 between Luke's leadership with the Rebellion and practically constant fighting in the civil war. It was more important for him to fulfill his destiny at the time. Thanks. Like you say SS, it's always 1999! (SuperShadow: SS.com will remain the number one most popular Star Wars fan web site for eternity. This elates all fans equally for we are beloved by the masses.)
Lord Shadow, I'm amazed at how often Darth Bane appears in the submitted comments. The name of Darth Bane has never been mentioned in a Star Wars movie. (SuperShadow: Bane was originally mentioned in the novelization of The Phantom Menace. That's the reason certain fans are obsessed with Bane since he started the rule of only two Sith Lords at a time according to Lucas.)
Incalculably compassionate SS. There are three collegiate basketball teams from the state of North Carolina ranked in the top five nationally in the NCAA basketball polls in America. You've shattered the hopes of UNC. We thank you for this gift. (SuperShadow: It's just the beginning of unbearable suffering for Chapel Hill.)
You've destroyed Wake Forest. Again much appreciated. (SuperShadow: No problem. It will happen again and again ad nauseum.) You need to end the supremacy of Duke University instantly if not sooner because they are about to ascend to the # 1 ranking all across the land. Praise be to SS. You are the one. (SuperShadow: Are you insane? The Tar Heels are completely less than harmless. The Demon Deacons are very, very extremely weak.
However, the Blue Devils represent the powers of darkness. As the holy scriptures clearly reveal, no Human can defeat Lucifer. This "angel of light" is the unquestioned king of kings on Earth. Not even I can sabotage such immense infinite greatness. Repent immediately for the error of your thinking if it's not already too late. You will be in my darkest prayers.)

SuperShadow, if Qui-Gon Jinn had survived Star Wars Episode One and was in Revenge of the Sith, but Qui-Gon was Anakin Skywalker's master, would Anakin still turn to the dark side? (SuperShadow: If Qui-Gon had been alive after The Phantom Menace, Anakin probably never would have fallen to the dark side. The fact Qui-Gon could prevent Anakin from turning to the dark side is one of the primary reasons why Qui-Gon couldn't survive to see Attack of the Clones.)
Also if it was Qui-Gon, not Obi-Wan, who fought Anakin on Mustafar, who would be the victor then? (SuperShadow: If Qui-Gon confronted Anakin during Revenge of the Sith, then Anakin would have chose not to be a Sith. Together as a team, Qui-Gon and Anakin would have defeated Darth Sidious.)
Plus if Anakin killed Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan went to Mustafar to see what happened and saw Anakin kill Qui-Gon, then Anakin leaves with Padme while he still had the chance and because Anakin killed Qui-Gon and feared Anakin would surely kill Obi-Wan, how powerful would Anakin be as a Sith since Anakin never got the injuries on Mustafar? (SuperShadow: The catastrophic injuries Anakin suffered on Mustafar didn't reduce Anakin's Force power or midichlorian count level. All it did was make Anakin less agile and slower in speed.)
Lastly if Yoda and Obi-Wan went to confront Darth Vader as a full fledged Sith and Darth Sidious and the Sith Lords both had kyber crystals, who would win in that fight and what would become of the galaxy? (SuperShadow: Yoda and Obi-Wan can't kill the chosen one. The Jedi would have to pray that the light side of the Force redeemed Anakin like it did just as Luke Skywalker was about to perish at the conclusion of Return of the Jedi.)
SS, you are the best friend a Star Wars fanatic could ask for. I mean really you have said really good things about my ideas. Well, most of them any way. Just a few things I have for you. If the Dark Jedi are going to have cloned Vader in the Vader mechanical suit, then at least the Dark Jedi should have the real Darth Vader's light saber.
It could of fell in an unfinished part of the second death star and the Dark Jedi give it to the cloned Vader. Plus Luke Skywalker should find his father's light saber and fight the cloned Vader with it. (SuperShadow: Nyet. I don't think so. Idea rejected for no obvious reason.)
Hello, SS. Please post! (SuperShadow: Wish granted.) So I'm reading a lot of Star Wars sequel (SuperShadow: Star Wars Episodes 7, 8 and 9.) suggestions on your web site and I'd like to add an idea that isn't too ridiculous. I think it would be important to establish Luke Skywalker as a full blown Master Jedi by receiving a message from his Force spirit father urging Luke to return to the Jedi Temple on Coruscant. (SuperShadow: Very uplifting.)
A now dark, dusty and abandoned Jedi Temple becomes one of Luke's last tests facing fear and hatred for the death and betrayal that haunts the corridors and hallways. Anakin Skywalker explains that it is important for Luke to see what a Skywalker's grab for power is capable of and to face the Jedi trials the way no Jedi has before. What Luke faces in the Jedi Temple, I leave up to you and Lucas' genius. Thanks. (SuperShadow: This somewhat has potential. It will be forwarded to Lucas.)
Hey, SS! Do you think Obi-Wan left Anakin Skywalker alive because Obi-Wan still had a small amount of faith that Anakin still was the chosen one and could be the only one to destroy the Sith? (SuperShadow: No, not at all. It's the inadvertent incompetence of Jedi like Obi-Wan, which precipitated the end of free society in the Star Wars galaxy.)
Maybe led by the Force without completely foreseeing Luke's fate, but knowing the compassion of a child grown to be the honorable Jedi Anakin meant to be would ultimately turn Vader to the light. Thanks. (SuperShadow: There is no chance of this being correct. You can't explain away the ineffectual nature of Obi-Wan with nonsense.)
Yo, SS. If there is going to be another installment in the Star Wars movie saga, I'm fine with it opening in 2021. (SuperShadow: How does your opinion on this matter make a difference?) Not only will I be frothing from the mouth for more by then, but computer graphics will be so advanced they can basically recreate all the Star Wars characters at any age they would like! (SuperShadow: Agreed. Computer animation will be perfectly photo realistic in another 10 years and at an extremely economical price exactly as planned by Lucas.)
The entire Star Wars films could be computer graphics and you could not tell the difference except for Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford and company would only look 10 years older from the Star Wars originals. Makes it easier to create a great Star Wars sequel trilogy, which is fine by me! Take care, SS. (SuperShadow: You can't even begin to imagine how great Star Wars Episode 7 is gonna be. It's the Star Wars prequel trilogy on steroids times infinity at maximum velocity.)
What about killing Marion Ravenwood and Mutt Williams in Indiana Jones 5? It would be incredible! (SuperShadow: No, Indiana Jones' family can't die young. They all perish from hyper advanced old mega antediluvian age.)
Lord Shadow, The Golden Raspberry Nominees were announced (for real this time) and both "Kingdom of the Crystal Skull" and "Clone Wars" made the list of "Worst Prequel, Remake, Rip-Off or Sequel." (SuperShadow: Such things don't matter to Lucas and I. We're making these films for ourselves. We don't care what anyone thinks about anything.)
The Martians are here, and have been for thousands of years. (SuperShadow: It's a scientific fact that extraterrestrials can't exist. Don't be foolish.) Make the pro-Biblical statement that demonic possession actually happens and it's caused by spirits from the planet Mars. (SuperShadow: Where have you been? Demonic entities can't be real either. Basic knowledge known to all.)
Make it as scary as "Jaws." (SuperShadow: Not very frightening. Great White sharks are absolutely harmless.) Scary and fun at the same time. The crew of the earth ship are both Americans, and during their voyage, they hear over the radio that the Chinese have declared war on the United States. (SuperShadow: We would have no way to defeat China in a war.
We should already surrender. They have countless numbers of secret agents in all levels of the U.S. Government. Of course, we have zero effective spies in China because we have the most inept government employees in history. You are unwittingly contributing to the collapse of the United States with help from the FBI, who seem to be nothing but ultra self destructive and determined to sabotage our nation at all costs.)
Hi SS, I have an idea for one of the live action Star Wars TV show episodes. A young Jedi was expelled by the Jedi Order for craving adventure and excitement. (SuperShadow: Not realistic.) (Yoda disapproves of it in Star Wars Episode 5).
Just before Order 66 took place so after the carnage was over, this Jedi hid his identity and became a sort of detective / justice fighter with a small group and a killer droid and solves stuff like CSI type thing. (SuperShadow: This sounds more awful than the Star Wars novels from the Star Wars expanded universe.) P.S. You're the best, SS. (SuperShadow: A given in life disputed by none. Altering and dominating your reality is what I do.)
Stunningly grand Shadow without equal in all of reality. When can we expect to see 90 % tax rates on the mega wealthy? Make this happen now. We honor you to the highest degree, ye who controls the fate of nations. (SuperShadow: This is not sufficient. If you tax someone making $ 1 million U.S. dollars at 90 percent, this only generates 900 thousand dollars in tax revenues. Instead a heavy tax on accumulated financial net worth needs to be implemented immediately.
For example, if someone has real estate and stock holdings worth $ 50 million U.S. dollars, a simple 30 percent tax rate on this needless wealth will yield $ 15 million U.S. dollars. To properly redistribute wealth in this country, we need to tax the net worth of the extremely well off. The ultra rich will continue to laugh at the IRS until this justice happens.)
Overly powerful SS, can you explain why the United States is not mentioned in prophecy from the Holy Bible? Thanks for finally ending this mystery. (SuperShadow: Carthage willingly allowed Hannibal to terrorize Italy for many, many years. However, the rulers of Carthage NEVER gave Hannibal the necessary war machines to actually conquer Italy. As a result, Rome eventually got the ultimate revenge by wiping out Carthaginian civilization permanently with no hope of resurrection ever.
Likewise the leaders of the United States allow their incompetent bureaucratic zeros to torment me year after countless year. Eventually my friends will arrive and you will share the fate of Carthage. You should be troubled that neither the United States nor Carthage are mentioned specifically in Biblical prophecy because neither will exist at the end times. Why hasn't the U.S. Government given up already? They have absolutely no path to victory. This vexes me greatly.)

Will appear the Yuuzhan Vong in Star Wars Episode 7, 8 or 9? (SuperShadow: How much can I laugh at one time? This nonsense is not real.) Why will appear Darth Maul in Star Wars Episode VII? What for? (SuperShadow: The role Maul will have in Star Wars Episode 7 has not been revealed by Lucas yet.
You will be utterly stunned beyond belief at the ingenious idea Lucas has planned for Maul.) Will Maul return of the dark side? (SuperShadow: Not even.) And what about Boba Fett? Will Boba help the New Republic or will be against it? (SuperShadow: Secret, secret. We've got a secret.)
I asked you about Noah's Ark in Indiana Jones 5. Previously posted on the mesmerizing SS.com: "(SuperShadow: Not realistic. A five thousand year old wooden ship would no longer exist. It would have rotted away to nothing within a few decades after the Great Flood.)"
But what about the Holy Grail? It is a wooden cup like the Ark. There might be the remains of the dead animals. (SuperShadow: Totally ridiculous. The Holy Grail is not as ancient as Noah's Ark. Utilize your common sense.)
Does the Sith make Anakin Skywalker have dreams? (SuperShadow: For what purpose? The Sith Lords don't control reality. You can't blame everything that happens in the Star Wars movies on the Sith. That's tres silly to suggest.)
S.S. Come on bro, you're like a day behind? (SuperShadow: You're lucky if I update SS.com at all.) What's up with that? (SuperShadow: I do what I want.) I like to read your web site every morning before work. Now I got nothing to look forward to. The world is ending as we know it! (SuperShadow: It shall pass.)
S.S. Who would win Starkiller or Luke Skywalker? (SuperShadow: Surely you jest. Luke is basically invincible.) I believe maybe Luke in a light saber fight, but Starkiller in a Force fight, but I'm putting all bets on Starkiller! He is the son Vader dreamed of! Luke was the son Anakin was proud to have. (SuperShadow: You have much to learn about Star Wars.)
Hey Soops, just wanted to say that I'm digging the Star Wars The Clone Wars TV series. It's really cool and plays much better on TV than the big screen. I reckon the problem with the movie was that they chose the wrong storyline. The junior Jabba the Hutt story was just way too childish.
It would have made a heaps better movie if it was Star Wars Episodes 2 - 4 with General Grievous and his ION cannon. That's what the fans want instead we get Skyguy trying to save a living piece of snot! (SuperShadow: The main problem is that the Star Wars The Clone Wars movie wasn't written and directed by Lucas. Failure couldn't be avoided.)
SS, I rented the new Indiana Jones movie and was pleasantly surprised. So many people were bashing the crap out of it, yet I found it to be as fun of a flick as the previous ones. (SuperShadow: The zeros of life are never right about anything, not even by accident.) I'm not exactly sure what so many people were expecting. (SuperShadow: People criticize Lucas solely because they covet his life and they loathe their existence. I understand why this must be.)
Also, what does George think now that President Obama is soon to enter office and tax the ***** out of him? (SuperShadow: Tax increases on the mega wealthy will NEVER happen because they are the real power behind Washington, D.C. Lucas isn't worried.) I for one loathe the idea of more socialism entering our system. (SuperShadow: I wish we were communists exactly like North Korea. That is a burned out paradise on Earth.)
Dear SS, I want to ask you one thing: I'm very satisfied from the Star Wars edition out in the stores right now, but I will love to know if ILM will be able to correct some continuity mistakes and special effects in the old Star Wars movie trilogy? I don't mean BIG changes, just little changes, like the blood on the cut arm in the Mos Eisley cantina.
Or the people back behind Han Solo in the interior of the Millennium Falcon during the Mos Eisley escape and the green color on the Luke Skywalker light saber during the Ben Kenobi training on the Millennium Falcon. Lights on the control panel on the Darth Vader suit. I mean changes of this kind, not big changes, to have a true continuity between all the Star Wars movies.
I know the old Star Wars movie saga never will be like the Star Wars prequel trilogy, but ILM have changed and corrected much of the original Star Wars trilogy mistakes on the DVD. The ILM great team should complete the incredible job to clearing much more the old Star Wars movies.
Rotoscoping all the light sabers for example to match much more with the new Star Wars movies. I hope you answer me! (SuperShadow: Sadly, Lucas has no current plans to make drastic corrections to the Star Wars classic trilogy. We must embrace the fact that the Star Wars classics will forever be inferior to the Star Wars prequels.)
I would like to ask you if you can send my idea to Mr. Lucas, if he will produce the Star Wars 3D version or if he will sell the Star Wars movies on Blue-ray disc one film at once? (SuperShadow: Neither will happen soon.) I hope he will use the chronological order so if there will be new technology to upgrade the Star Wars movies he can start with Star Wars Episode 1.
So when the Star Wars Episode 4, 5 and 6 episodes time will come he can use much better technology for the old Star Wars movies so when we will see the movies again, I think, we can see the progression of the technology in a new cool way and overall in the chronological order of the story. I hope you know what I trying to explain. I'm an Italian loyal fan. My English isn't so good! Thanks for all, the Force will be with you.
And I hope Lucas move faster with Indiana Jones 5, please. He must have faith in the new vision and direction "sci-fi B movie style" for Indy Jones. The next one will be better then the 4th! (SuperShadow: There is no way to improve on the brilliance of Indiana Jones 4 and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Russians plus alien entities equals Heavenly bliss.)
I know that! Thanks, great master, I hope you can send my idea to Lucas, please! (SuperShadow: All your ideas will be forwarded to Lucas pronto. You are one of the best Star Wars fans of all time. All hail the revived Roman Empire.)
Lord Shadow, the critic response is obvious. After 22 James Bond movies, we know what works and what doesn't. Trying to push Bond into the Jason Bourne action mode was a nice experiment. However, once was more than enough. "Star Wars" was fun. The payoff was a young boy who dreamed about being a pilot got to accomplish his dream and more. What did James Bond accomplish? Well, we have to wait for the NEXT James Bond movie to find out. (SuperShadow: Very, very true.)
Anyway, congratulations to George for having two of the top three movies on the All-Time List. (SuperShadow: Lucas can't get any more arrogant than he already is. Such is the unlimited ego of the greatest film maker of all time in history ever.)
Dear George, please post so I know you read this. First let me thank you for bringing such joy back into my life and others when you made Star Wars Episodes I , II & III. It was a bit of a wait, but so much worth it. I know the Star Wars episodes are done back to front, but to me it made us all appreciate how powerful and humble the Jedi Knights were.
If only there were beings of such power and nobility around to curb the crime and corruption in the world. (SuperShadow: We can't challenge the notion that evil controls reality. The nefarious elements will control our fate for the rest of history. It can only get worse and worse and still even worse. When your civilization collapses, blame yourself.)
|
Will Anakin Skywalker ever premiere in Star Wars 7, 8 and 9? (SuperShadow: Yep, there will be an Anakin clone and Anakin will appear as a Jedi spirit in Star Wars Episode 9.)
Yooo. SS, if Mace Windu survived in Revenge of the Sith since because Windu did not die on screen, then in the Star Wars classic trilogy how come Mace Windu could not contact Yoda or Obi-Wan? (SuperShadow: We don't know what kind of contact the exiled Jedi have between themselves. This history will probably not be revealed by Lucas.)
And if Mace Windu saw Luke Skywalker in the classic trilogy, what do you think Mace's intention will be about Luke? Thank you for your time. (SuperShadow: After studying Luke for two seconds, Windu would figure the battle against the Sith Lords would be hopeless to win. Windu has no way of knowing that Luke is the greatest Jedi of all time.)
Hey SuperShadow! How's it hangin'? (SuperShadow: You need to carefully reexamine your life. The time traveling tyrants have been undermining all individuals since the beginning of known Human history. This sabotage will continue retroactively in the past and into the distant future until the very, very end. If you could see the Illuminati end game, you would finally understand the overall objectives.)
I have a personal question about the great George Lucas: What the **** happened to his ex wife? (SuperShadow: Her name is Marcia.) She got half his fortune in 1983 and then disappeared. Is she still in the film industry? (SuperShadow: Apparently not. Marcia is a talented film editor. Her last movie credits are Star Wars. It seems she hasn't worked in Hollywood in over 25 years. Star Wars essentially ruined Marcia's life.)
Do they share custody of Amanda? (SuperShadow: I can't reveal personal info about Lucas' three children.) Is she a loser now? (SuperShadow: No, not at all. Marcia has a financial net worth in excess of $ 350 million U.S. dollars. She doesn't work because she doesn't have to and certainly doesn't need the money.) I just can't understand why she could do what she did.
Thanks a million. (SuperShadow: You need to blame Lucas for the divorce with Marcia. The Star Wars classic trilogy consumed Lucas' entire life for over a decade. During the production of the original Star Wars trilogy, Marcia fell in love with another person. I don't think any of you can understand how important Star Wars is to Lucas. The worst nightmare Lucas has is losing control over Star Wars. This is the reason he won't consider getting married again.)
Shadow, I was thinking of an idea, but it probably will be kinda bad. (SuperShadow: We do not judge concepts unfairly here.) Just wondering if a battalion of old Imperial troops that have banded together and recruited 400 more to their cause. Why not have Ben Skywalker and Anakin Solo be ambushed by them in Star Wars Episode 7, 8 or 9? (SuperShadow: Drastically ingenious.)
And Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, Princess Leia, Chewbacca and Lando Calrissian go to help them with a battalion of New Republic troops that kinda resemble the Rebel uniforms. Luke and Leia destroy many storm troopers, but then they have a secret weapon, which is a cloning machine that copies any clone that has died and it makes ten of them at a time and it is protected by deflector shields so a light saber can't destroy it. (SuperShadow: Sweet holy gravity. This will be forwarded to Lucas immediately. This is like finding a petroleum field of 250 billion barrels.)
SS, what about having a partially mechanical Darth Maul? (SuperShadow: It's conceivable.) Legs are bionic and upper half is biological. Maybe the legs are light saber proof. (SuperShadow: This majestic idea will be sent to Lucas.) Love your web site! (SuperShadow: I hear this 24/7/365 at SS.com. It's what you expect.)
SuperShadow in the house! (SuperShadow: You can't imagine.) Just another quick question for you. What would have happened to General Grievous if he wasn't killed by his encounter with Obi-Wan and escaped safely? Would Darth Sidious betray Grievous too or would Sidious keep him around and use him as a leader of the clone army or some kind of henchmen? (SuperShadow: The Sith Master constantly betrays his side kick minions. Eventually Darth Vader would have killed Grievous because Grievous was ultra dangerous since Grievous managed to destroy countless dozens of Jedi in light saber fights.)
It seemed to me that when Grievous was fighting Obi-Wan, Grievous had some inside information about Order 66. Grievous told Obi-Wan: "army or not you must understand you are doomed." Plus Grievous didn't seem to care when he found out his teacher, Count Dooku, was killed and Grievous sent the Separatist leaders to Mustafar knowing Sidious was going to betray them and have them killed.
I think Grievous would have served Sidious faithfully if given the chance. (SuperShadow: Such loyalty doesn't matter to the Sith.) Grievous doesn't have the flaws of a droid and is more powerful then any clone trooper. Just wanted some light shed on this question. Hit the game winning 3 pointer buzzer beater and please answer back. Thanks. (SuperShadow: You have a keen wit and apt ability to see the thoughts in the mind of Lucas. Not all fans can comprehend the monumental and overwhelming brilliance of Lucas.)
Previously on the sublime SS.com: "OK, the Inner Dilemma. The Hero has to confront some problem in his own life, and by doing so, becomes able to solve the larger problem. (SuperShadow: So what?)"
Yes, indeed. What is the point? I guess my point is, you're making sequels to enormously popular movies, and the fans expect the sequels to be better than the originals. (SuperShadow: Not realistic. It's extremely rare for a sequel movie to surpass the original film. The most notable example of this failure is the Matrix Reloaded and the Matrix Revolutions movies, which followed the first Matrix film.) Measurably better. (SuperShadow: This doesn't happen often.
An exception being the Terminator 2 Judgment Day movie, which was clearly superior to the original Terminator motion picture. Of course, T1 had a limited $ 6 million U.S. dollars production budget whereas T2 was the first Hollywood movie to have a film budget over $ 100 million U.S. dollars.) When you start with a classic like "Raiders of the Lost Ark," what do you change to improve it? (SuperShadow: No one can answer this question successfully.)
"Kingdom of the Crystal Skull" is in the news again. It's on the short list of Worst Sequels in 2008. (SuperShadow: You need to understand that all film critics intensely envy Lucas. Infinite jealousy in fact. Their opinions are highly biased and profusely subjective. An Indiana Jones movie featuring both the Soviets and extraterrestrials is obviously the best idea in the history of cinema. Nearly all of the true fans agree with this objective sentiment.)
That's what "Indiana Jones 5" needs. At the end, the wonderful glow from knowing that, as a result of this struggle, Indy Jones has become a Better Person and he's back in the fight. That's going to be extremely difficult to work into the script, but that's why writers get paid the big bucks. (SuperShadow: According to you. Screen writers make millions of U.S. dollars for penning screen plays ONLY if they write previous films with mega lofty box office grosses and immense DVD sales.)
For creating the character of Indiana Jones as someone who changes in a significant way as a result of his struggle against an opponent. If you don't focus on a new and significant Inner Dilemma, you wind up on the short list of Worst Sequels. (SuperShadow: Lucas and I have no interest in character development. The Indiana Jones movie franchise is massively profitable because of breathtaking action sequences that stun the audience.)
'Sup Shadow! I don't think it's a good idea to use the "if you didn't see them die on screen, then they could technically be alive" line for the next Star Wars movie trilogy. Under that scenario, almost everyone could be alive. (SuperShadow: Why does it matter? You need to be an optimist in life.) We technically didn't see the Jedi that Mace Windu took with him to confront Darth Sidious die. (SuperShadow: Perhaps those Jedi were merely injured. This is an enigmatic mystery we can never understand.)
Mace kinda steps over them and the battle continues, but the Jedi could've crawled away. (SuperShadow: Agreed. What's wrong with that belief? To each his own unless you are a story despot.) We didn't see Darth Sidious perish, Boba Fett or Mace Windu. ****, you could even make an argument that Luke Skywalker burned Vader's suit, but that Anakin wasn't in it & that he's still alive. (SuperShadow: Excellent argument.
Lucas has stated that Anakin Skywalker perished soon after fleeing the second death star and that Anakin's body vanished exactly like what happened to Obi-Wan and Yoda when they perished. So you're correct that the Vader mask and armor were empty when Luke burned it on the Jedi funeral pyre.)
The only ones we know for sure are gone are Obi-Wan, Yoda and Count Dooku. (SuperShadow: Don't forget Jango Fett.) (Highly unlikely, but even Qui-Gon Jinn could've survived). (SuperShadow: Not really. We saw Qui-Gon's body being consumed by fire at the conclusion of The Phantom Menace, which is the most monetarily triumphant Star Wars movie of all time in history ever.)
It would make more sense to have Anakin alive and original Anakin / Luke battle clone Anakin / Luke, rather than a guest appearance by someone we thought was dead but is not. At least make it integral to the plot of the movie. Lucas did a fair job of wrapping up loose ends between both Star Wars film trilogies, but he never did answer what Obi-Wan meant when he said: "I'll become more powerful than you ever imagined." (SuperShadow: When did Obi-Wan actually tell the truth? Deception was Obi-Wan's trademark during the Star Wars classic trilogy.)
Just an idea, but how about in the next Star Wars film trilogy that Force spirit Obi-Wan actually does something? (SuperShadow: Bravo to ya. Awesome idea.) Like intervene in a critical battle to save the day. Or if Force spirit Obi-Wan cuts off the power of the kyber crystal from its wearer / weakens the Force connect like Sidious did to allow the Jedi victory in the final battle?
At least this way, there would be some closure to the question of what Obi-Wan meant. Mace's return would imply he was "the other" that was referred to in the original Star Wars film trilogy. As always, thanks for the time. (SuperShadow: Your ideas will be given to Lucas. Very, very impressive.)
Almighty SS, the true savior of the Universe. You need to go ahead and sabotage the Wake Forest basketball team already. (SuperShadow: The Wake Forest team hasn't won an ACC Conference tournament championship in basketball since I left Winston Salem, North Carolina. Cue the Twilight Zone TV series theme music.) So far, they are undefeated and ranked number one in the entire nation. Do your duty and bring them down immediately. (SuperShadow: Ironically, I completed this update before Virginia Tech stomped Wake Forest. I certainly do envy your control over my world. Endless congrats to you, exalted one.)
Thank you in advance, all powerful master. (SuperShadow: Watch your surroundings with greater intensity. Wake Forest is called the Demon Deacons. Duke is called the Blue Devils. This proves, without doubt above suspicion, that evil supernatural spirits control all aspects of our reality. We've been utterly defeated with no hope of victory. Accept this permanent fact. Bow before your malevolent overlords.)

Hi master! I am one of the best Star Wars fans, but if in Star Wars Episode 7 appeared Luke Skywalker and Anakin Skywalker clones, then I wouldn't love the film because it is not Star Wars. Joruus C'baoth will be fine. (SuperShadow: It's absurd to suggest that a character nobody knows exists from a Star Wars book nobody read will be in Star Wars Episode 7.
Certain Star Wars zealots complain no matter what Lucas does. Star Wars Episode 7 could feature nothing but a protracted 2 hours and 20 minutes battle between Boba Fett vs. Darth Maul. Some of you wouldn't be satisfied because you would bellow loudly because it wasn't four hours in running time like the extended DVD editions of The Lord of the Rings movie trilogy.)
Previously stated at the ingenious SS.com: "Lord SS, I'm pretty sure Mace Windu didn't die in Revenge of the Sith. If I'm wrong, tell me. (SuperShadow: Usually you are mistaken, but today not so much.) But anyways if Mace Windu did survive, how come Windu wasn't shown in the old Star Wars movie trilogy? Star Wars Episodes 4, 5 and 6. (SuperShadow: What's the big deal?)"
SS, it could be a very big deal. Wasn't Mace Windu the greatest Jedi in his time behind Yoda? (SuperShadow: Maybe kinda sorta. The Star Wars prequel trilogy focused on a few Jedi characters. Most of the ten thousand members of the Jedi Order were never seen by the fans. We can't say for certain who the best Jedi were at the time of the Star Wars prequels. All we can do is guess and speculate.)
And Windu could have had a big impact on Luke Skywalker just like Obi-Wan and Yoda did. And SS, I'm never wrong. Just playin around with ya! (SuperShadow: I enjoy your sense of humor. Mace Windu wasn't needed for the plot of the Star Wars classic trilogy. If Obi-Wan and Yoda had been unable to guide Luke, then Windu could have emerged from hiding. Windu had a more important mission to accomplish as Star Wars Episode 7 will explain.)
Hey SS, how are you doing today? (SuperShadow: I can't believe I get to be me.) Since Sith are power hungry and will fight until there is two left, have Darth Bane try to make the clones of Darth Vader & Luke Skywalker, from Star Wars Episode 9, fight each other to be Darth Bane's apprentice, but instead they both turn on Bane. (SuperShadow: Stunning. This is one of the most unrivaled Star Wars ideas of all time. I'm amazed and shocked at the genius eclipse of this. Is that you, Mr. Lucas?)
Bane begs for his life after losing all his limbs. Luke's clone says: "The weak deserve no mercy." (SuperShadow: Hilarious for sure.) And Vader says: "That's why the Sith failed in their quest. Power in quality and quantity is the true way. You are just a faint shadow of the former Sith Order." (SuperShadow: Bravo. That would be classic Star Wars dialogue all the way home.)
And leaves Bane to be devoured by a pack of Rancors. (A creature who Force mind control doesn't work on, if it did Luke would have used it in Return of the Jedi.) (SuperShadow: The biggest mistake you can make is not to finish your adversary off when you have the chance. The Vader and Luke clones would know this and subsequently leave Bane in a zillion separate pieces to be eaten by the Rancors.)
Master SS, if Darth Sidious believed he was so strong and unstoppable, why did Sidious try to run from Yoda during Revenge of the Sith? (SuperShadow: Sidious realized Yoda had nothing left to lose, which meant Yoda would destroy himself trying to kill Sidious. The reason Sidious is the greatest political and military strategist in history is because he wouldn't make massively incompetent mistakes like an average person like yourself would make. It's no accident you will NEVER be the master of the Universe.)
And the same with Count Dooku, Dooku thought he was stronger than Yoda, yet Dooku ran like a coward at the end of Attack of the Clones. (SuperShadow: Someone similar to you would be no match for the Sith Lords. You would have made for a good Jedi during the Star Wars prequel trilogy because the Jedi were constantly outwitted by the Sith. Civilization would collapse around you and you would forever be wondering: How did that happen? With the Old Republic military surrounding Dooku, he had to escape quickly. You should be able to figure this out on your own.)
You're an imbecile. Who cares about you and GL? Isn't this suppose to be about Star Wars? Imbecile. (SuperShadow: Wow. You think your opinion matters to me. The only views that are important are mine. I don't think I will ever stop laughing.)
Can't wait for next week's Star Wars The Clone Wars TV series episode with Aayla Secura and Clone Commander Bly of the 327th Star Corps making their series debut. It's another two parter. Poor Anakin gets hurt saving them with Captain Rex and Ahsoka Tano from Separatist droids. They crash land on a planet with friendly looking lemur-like creatures called Lumren. (SuperShadow: Blatant and obvious rip off from the Sonic the Hedgehog video games from SEGA.)
Aayla will teach Ahsoka about avoiding emotional attachments. Poor Rex gets attacked by some animal while tending to Anakin. Will Rex survive? (SuperShadow: I hope not.) If Rex dies, that will lead to Commander Appo leading the 501st legion. I know that Ahsoka will come up with some names when they encounter the tubby Neimodian general Lok Durd, voiced by Star Trek's George Takei.
The promo even has Ahsoka saying: "I have a bad feeling about this." (SuperShadow: Yes, every week the Clone Wars story writers add story elements from the Star Wars plot formula to the Clone Wars TV show. Season One of the Clone Wars TV series will have covered nearly all the story elements of the Star Wars plot formula by the end of the 22nd and final episode of Season One.)
I just saw the "Gungan General" episode and yes another awesome episode from the new Clone Wars TV show. Sad that Gran Senator Krakus died in the shuttle crash. Clone Trooper Fives is a clone commander. Once again Jar Jar Binks proves his usefulness. I knew Count Dooku was going to get away. No way is he going for punishment.
The Clone Wars must continue. Palpatine, Padme, Mace Windu and Yoda aren't going to like this. More arrogance and bickering with Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan. Hondo Onaka was lucky to not get killed or captured by the Jedi. Turk Falso double crossed Hondo. Great episode. Keep em coming, Dave Filoni. (SuperShadow: Dave deserves more than minimum wage for his work on the Clone Wars TV show.)
Previously posted at the unbelievably brilliant SS.com: "(SuperShadow: Lucas fully realizes you are hopelessly addicted to Star Wars so *** he doesn't have to do anything to please the fans *** and you will still all watch the live action TV series no matter what.)"
But, will we buy the DVDs? (SuperShadow: Probably not.) The erosion of confidence has reached the point where "Maybe not" is a popular answer. (SuperShadow: Agreed.) "Star Wars" used to be magic. Cast the right actors for the TV show and it could be magic again. (SuperShadow: Perhaps. I have faith in Lucas.)
Concept for "Indiana Jones 5": Indiana Jones and the Fountain of Youth. Lord Shadow, I'm trying to imagine how to create intense emotional feelings in the audience while they're walking out of "Indy 5."
My thought is, the villain has discovered an artifact that restores youth. At a crucial moment, Indy uses the artifact on Marion, and transforms her to a young version with all of the adult Marion's memories. Then, Indy has to say good-bye to her. He has to walk away and let her live her own life without him. (SuperShadow: Very poignant.)
This creates a wave of intense compassion for Indy. After finally waking up and realizing Marion is his One True Love, he loses her again. He winds up alone. (SuperShadow: Too bad. I guess.)
Lord Shadow, it's easy to run the Plot Formula. (SuperShadow: Reference to the Star Wars plot formula featured exclusively at SS.com.) What's difficult is finding new concept outside the Plot Formula that will make our jaws drop. ie, the Trench Run.
In the classic Plot Formula, there's a young hero. He's a dreamer. He dreams of going to the Academy and becoming a great pilot, because he enjoys flying around his backward planet. (SuperShadow: Pleasant to consider.)
Lord Shadow, I've been trying to put myself into the mindset of Indiana Jones in the year 1957. What does he think is important? Is there any place that he wants to visit again? Here's one possibility. After going through World War II, he thinks that it's important to create stronger ties between the United States and Europe. (SuperShadow: We don't need no thought control.)
Do you think that Lucas could be at all torn about letting someone else make some other Star Wars movies? (SuperShadow: This has already happened. The Star Wars The Clone Wars movie wasn't directly written and directed by Lucas. Read the production credits. This helps explain why the Clone Wars film was rejected by the fans, who basically worship Lucas.)
I know it's his thing, but can you imagine the money that could be made off of a Knight of the Old Republic video game trilogy or the Darth Vader's secret apprentice storyline? Which sways Lucas more, money or pride? (SuperShadow: Come back to reality, please. The Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic 1 and 2 video games each sold about 1.5 million copies. Multiply this by $ 10 U.S. dollar movie ticket for multiplexes and you get $ 15 million U.S. dollars in theatrical gross earnings.
The Star Wars The Force Unleashed video game sold less than 2.5 million copies worldwide. Again multiply this number by $ 10 U.S. dollar movie ticket and you get a box office gross of about $ 25 million U.S. dollars. This equals box office mega flops in both cases. Even the lowly and anti popular The Empire Strikes Back made over $ 500 million U.S. dollars combined in domestic and international box office grosses. In the final examination, the Star Wars video games aren't popular enough to justify making them into full length motion pictures. Your idea can't happen. Never ever.)
