Ominous SS, would George Lucas consider selling Star Wars to the highest bidder? (SuperShadow: This can’t happen. Lucas is very, very protective of Star Wars. He doesn’t trust third parties to care for Star Wars properly.) His glacial pace between creating Star Wars movie trilogies is not right or fair to the fandom. (SuperShadow: 16 years in between Revenge of the Sith and Star Wars Episode 7 is necessary. The longer the wait the more demand Lucas achieves for Episode 7, which leads to record breaking box office earnings. Excessive profits are tres important to Lucas. Hahaha.)
We deserve a new Star Wars movie every three years. That’s the minimum threshold we expect. (SuperShadow: If the new Star Wars The Clone Wars movie is a winner in theaters this August, then Lucas will consider releasing a Star Wars film based on the Star Wars TV series every few years. It is imperative to watch the Clone Wars movie multiple times in cineplexes this year.)
Your excellency, Yoda and Obi-Wan died by the end of the classic Star Wars trilogy. It seems fitting that Luke Skywalker die at the conclusion of Star Wars Episode 9. This would provide symmetry between the film episodes. Rage on. (SuperShadow: Luke wouldn’t be the most powerful Jedi Master of all time if he perished during the prime of his life. Luke’s extended years finally end as a result of hyper advanced old age.)
Are we going to have hot women wearing bikinis in Star Wars Episode 7? (SuperShadow: We can and will make this happen. Super models in skimpy outfits go together well with Star Wars. Hahaha.) The most inventive idea Lucas had for Return of the Jedi was Princess Leia in her metallic bikini. (SuperShadow: Yeah, Lucas is the master of showcasing beauty. Hahaha.)
This didn’t really happen during the Star Wars prequel trilogy except for briefly seeing Padme Amidala’s midriff during Attack of the Clones. Keep on feeling the power, SS. (SuperShadow: Having unlimited power is what we should enjoy on this planet. It’s a basic right guaranteed to all who seek it. Can’t each of you control reality with certain ease? Hahaha.)
Glorious one who saves entire worlds, it would be nice if GL could work on a Star Wars movie, which didn’t rely so stubbornly on the brilliantly conceived Star Wars plot formula. (SuperShadow: Without utilizing the Star Wars plot formula, you would ruin the vision Lucas has for the saga as a whole.)
A time arrives in one’s life when you have to abandon the superstitions that have made you successful in order to reach superior plateaus of artistic creativity. (SuperShadow: Multi billionaires do not answer to mortals.) Convince GL to give the fans a Star Wars movie beyond our imagination. Thanks for serving Mankind. (SuperShadow: All Star Wars movies are exactly the same. It has been this way for countless eons around the Universe. Hahaha.)
Is the technological singularity fact or fiction? (SuperShadow: The machine immortals are unfortunately real. Some refer to these entities as the technological gods because they can perform what we consider to be miracles.) In the Holy Bible, it clearly states Humans can achieve anything we set our minds on doing. (SuperShadow: Yes, this is why the wrath of God strikes Humans when we dare to equal the Heavens with our technology. Remember what happened at the Tower of Babel.)
This indicates Humans can make a sentient and self conscious artificial intelligence, which is trillions of times smarter than Humans if we spend enough time and energy on this endeavor. (SuperShadow: If the Illuminati exist, then they would already possess what you describe. It’s what enables them to wickedly rule our planet to suit the objectives of their end game.)
I would enjoy bossing around machines that have godlike abilities. Let me know what you think. (SuperShadow: Machines will one day rule the Earth. Either Humans will become hybrids with technology or we will become extinct. The choice is yours alone to make. A limited type of immortality is within our grasp. Hahaha.)
Holy Shadow, is sabotage your primary passion in life? Is it interwoven with your grand, unquestionable conspiracy? (SuperShadow: There's no evidence of any kind of sabotage on my part. Such things do not interest me. However, the greatest genius in history would create a never ending scheme, which would slowly evolve and grow over time. Clever surprises, hidden in unique forms, are what I have mastered. It's my claim to fame. Hahaha.)

Umm, just wondering if you're concerned about making your money back for the live action Star Wars TV series, you said no Jedi will be involved. (SuperShadow: Absolutely correct. No Jedi Knights or Sith Lords in the Star Wars live action TV show scheduled to debut on television in late 2010.) If the first season flops, do you think maybe the second season you'll incorporate the Jedi Purge in which we see Darth Vader in his prime? (SuperShadow: This will never happen in the first live action TV show. Lucas can't make mistakes. His vision of Star Wars is always unerring.)
I think it would bring in great TV ratings and answer a lot of questions about what happened to the Jedi. (SuperShadow: This could be the focus of a future Star Wars TV series perhaps.) Now I know you're pretty smart and just wondering if maybe you're trying to get people to watch it first before you bring the Jedi and Sith into the TV series to get better ratings. Just wondering. Big fan of yours. (SuperShadow: Lucas has plans for many diverse Star Wars TV shows over the looming years if the new Star Wars The Clone Wars movie and TV show are successful and if the live action Star Wars TV show works with audiences.)
Master SS, if Anakin did not turn to the dark side, would the will of the Force let him become the most powerful Jedi of all time? (SuperShadow: This can't really be answered because this destiny path did not happen. Theoretically, the chosen one, who brings balance to the Force, should naturally be the greatest Jedi in history.)
Also where does Count Dooku (when he was good) rate on the most powerful Jedi list? (SuperShadow: Top 3,000 if Dooku is lucky. Dooku became infinitely more powerful as a Sith Lord, which is the dazzling lure of joining the dark side. However, this awesome power leads to self destruction, which is the fate of all those who follow the dark ways.)
I have a basic question. Are you a Christian? (SuperShadow: My personal beliefs don't matter. The knowledge I have about religion will remain a tantalizing secret for the ages.) I was just curious as to what you believe in. You are a highly influential person and with that comes many responsibilities. (SuperShadow: The fans are addicted to SS.com solely for the entertainment related to Star Wars. Certainly not because of me.)
Our world is in a decline, obviously. (SuperShadow: I disagree fervently. An objective review of history reveals that the the present days are a serious improvement over the past. The only thing superior to present times is the future. Imagine living 100 years ago. It would be pure torture in your mind with none of the modern luxuries you take for granted.)
When do you think the end of days will occur? (SuperShadow: It's a mistake to think we occupy a significant place in history. Worrying about such matters is fruitless.) My father tends to think that it will happen within 10 years. I feel that is a little soon! What do you think? (SuperShadow: If the messiah or apocalypse happens by 2018, I promise to give every Human on Earth their own star system. Waiting for the Highest Powers to intervene in our affairs is pointless. Considering the United States was initiated based in slavery and the genocide of the American Indians, we're fortunate to be the richest nation ever despite our faults. Fortunately the sins of our founders are not transferred to the current citizens.)
SS, many fans openly worry on this web site that Lucas and the classic trilogy actors/actresses will not be able to create the next movie trilogy because of their age, but the smarter people understand that artists never stop creating. (SuperShadow: Excellent argument.)
Michelangelo devoted himself to work right to the end of his life. Over a hundred years later, the world still appreciates this man. The same thing will occur for Lucas and SS. (SuperShadow: This goes without saying, but the individuals of the early days are not relevant today. Lucas and SS will be revered by the mega artificial minds we will create in the near future. You can imagine many reasons why we will be remembered fondly. Hahaha.)

Salacious Crumb is funny. For those of you who are not Star Wars masterminds, Salacious Crumb is the tiny puppet character, which hangs out with Jabba the Hutt during Return of the Jedi. Salacious Crumb pulls out one of C-3PO's eyes from its socket. The new trilogy just wasn't the same without muppet extraterrestrials.
Lucas could have saved a good bundle of money by having puppets instead of expensive and labor intensive computer special effects. By the way, I want to know what you're thinking. To get inside your mind would be the most enthusiastic adventure I could attain. (SuperShadow: The reason the classic Star Wars trilogy is so enormously dreadful is the inclusion of silly muppets and individuals wearing awful masks and costumes to look like exotic alien creatures. The computer animation is the most positive benefit to cinema in the history of Hollywood. By the way, the technology to read the Human mind may already be amongst us.)
SuperShadow, the music John Williams made for the Star Wars prequels was nowhere near as impressive as the soundtracks for the original trilogy. A New Hope gave the fans the main Star Wars theme, the Cantina Band theme and the Throne Room finale theme. The Empire Strikes Back gave the fans the Imperial March theme and the Asteroid Chase theme. Return of the Jedi gave the fans, well, nothing really I guess.
The only inventive theme from the prequels was the Duel of the Fates theme and that was mainly due to the fact it accompanied the awesome battle between Obi-Wan & Qui-Gon Jinn vs. Darth Maul. (SuperShadow: John Williams was in his creative zenith during the mid 1970's to the mid 1980's. During this ten year period of time, Williams composed the Jaws theme, the Close Encounters of the Third Kind theme, the Superman theme, the Indiana Jones theme and the ET: The Extraterrestrial theme. By the time Williams started working on the Star Wars prequel trilogy, he was really, really old. Ancient sentients are kinda useless and don't contribute much to the planet unless their name is George Lucas. Hahaha.)
Have you and George hired an expensive psychic to make contact with the essence of Sir Alec Guinness, the actor who was Obi-Wan Kenobi in the classic trilogy? Sir Alec could reveal the secrets of the great unknown mystery, which is waiting for mortal entities in eternity. (SuperShadow: The problem with communicating with the members of the choir invisible is that they're all dead. They're currently sleeping and waiting for the resurrection to face Judgment Day. This asleep state may last for millions of years, but for them it will be instantaneous because you don't have a sense of the passage of time during death sleep. They won't realize they've been deceased for many eons.)
Merciful SS, you claim the collapse of the Western governments would be bad, but for some it would dramatically increase our stations in life. Right now, I have to wake up at 5 A.M. to arrive at the Quickie Mart to earn 3 cents an hour. If it ended tomorrow, I could sleep in till noon. (SuperShadow: With one thought, SS could send your entire society back to 40,000 B.C. You can't imagine the nightmarish world you would experience. Your life expectancy would be under 25 years of age. You would spend the whole day searching for food while going hungry most of the time. You would live in constant fear of being destroyed by rival tribes. Think deeply and carefully before you ask SS the Sorcerer to act.)
We would be equals with no disparity between the rich and poor because we would each be penniless with nothing. I hope the doomsday prophets are right for once. It gives me something to look forward to. (SuperShadow: Join me in this simple yet crucial prayer: Dear Heavenly Father, we humbly and desperately beg you to influence SS to be our salvation instead of certain annihilation. In the Lord's name, amen. That should do it. Thus far, all my requests to the Creator have always been answered. This promise has a one year guarantee. Why can't I stop laughing? Hahaha.)
Darth Shadow, can you please stop trying to anger the demonic underworld? The Anti-Christ might speed up the arrival of the end times if you keep antagonizing him or her. I'm having too much fun reading SS.com. I don't want it to conclude any time soon with our endless persecution if possible. Have some consideration for the simple people. Love ya. (SuperShadow: Yep, I often forget how influential I am. I hereby immediately apologize to the dark powers, who may not have the kind of sense of humor needed to appreciate what I do. Hahaha.)
|
Shadow, you possess tremendous faith and accomplish great works. (SuperShadow: I'm so advanced that my weekends last all week. Hahaha.) I know you and Lucas don't care about negative criticisms of Star Wars, but I need to be heard. (SuperShadow: We follow our artistic vision no matter how insane it may appear to society. Hahaha.)
I was 14 years old. It was early 1983. Return of the Jedi was the most anticipated movie of all time. As I watched the first half of Return of the Jedi in May 1983, I thought I was watching a movie so incredibly awesome I believed it was created by God Himself. Then it happened suddenly. The worst moment of my life seeing the Ewoks for the first time.
My life was ruined. Fast forward 16 years. I'm now 30 years old and it's early 1999. Star Wars Episode 1 The Phantom Menace is the most anticipated movie of all time. Once again my life is broken to senseless pieces by the appearance of Jar Jar Binks. Again my life is in shambles. Thanks for creating such irritating and useless characters, which haunt me with nightmares to this day. (SuperShadow: Pointless and silly characters are an important facet of all mythological story telling. Read the Iliad book or the Chastevi scrolls for instance. Jar Jar Binks and the Ewoks originate from ancient characters, who focus solely on tomfoolery. Hahaha.)
Servant of righteousness, if you truly loved the fans both yourself and George would meet with the true fans as often as possible. We are worthy of your time. Our conversations with you would be a lot more interesting than the ego driven topics George bores you with constantly. The fandom has a right to be in the presence of the two most legendary legends of Star Wars.
Give it some serious thought. Peace. (SuperShadow: The problem is not whether the fans are worthy to see SS and Lucas face to face. We view each of you as our equals. The problem is time. It would take literally forever to meet the countless millions and millions of Star Wars loyalists around the world. What you suggest is not feasible.)
SS, what kind of box office earnings is GL anticipating for Star Wars Episode 7? I would think more people would be interested in Episode 7 as compared to the Star Wars prequel trilogy. It confounds the mind on how much money Episode 7 could make. Take care with being a warrior of truth. (SuperShadow: Fan interest in Star Wars Episode 7 is superior to the interest in The Phantom Menace. Episode 7 would probably gross over $ 700 million U.S. dollars at the box office in North America. It would have a realistic chance of surpassing James Cameron's Titanic movie as the most successful Hollywood blockbuster film of all time.)
Greetings pathetic citizen of the United States of America. (SuperShadow: Are you directing sarcasm at our U.S. President, who had an admirable "C" grade average at Yale? Hahaha.) I am a duly designated representative of the government of the invincible Russian Federation. (SuperShadow: This shatters my perception of reality. I was convinced that Russia was a fictional invention of the U.S. Government in order to secure trillions of U.S. dollars for defense and extremely killer cool secret operations.)
We command you to desist from spreading further misinformation regarding the non-existent Russian military in particular the not real Russian Spetsnaz and we order you to stop disinformation campaigns revolving around the imaginary spying activities by us in the United States. (SuperShadow: How do you know of SS if you have no intelligence gathering abilities? Hahaha.)
If we were an aggressive nation, you would already be the largest satellite of the new Russian Empire. (SuperShadow: The rise, decline and fall of empires is a natural progression.) The collapse of the Soviet Union was our brilliant ploy to demoralize your amoral and decadent society of evil. We are the ultimate victors of all confrontations through diplomacy and compromise. (SuperShadow: No wonder why our economy is ten times the size of Russia's gross national product.)
Our words are vastly more powerful than your weapons, which will not work when needed although they will never be needed against our great country because we are pacifists, who seek to conquer the West through economic domination. This is our last and only warning against your inane SuperShadow.com, which we do not acknowledge. You smell of elderberries.
Do not make us taunt you further for this attack has completely devastated you in ways, which can't be measured. We laugh at you and the machine immortals, who are defenseless against our immeasurable strategic and/or tactical genius on both offense and defense. (SuperShadow: This is upsetting. If Russia exists, then this means it's possible for the Illuminati, alien star beings and Lucifer to be an actual part of our reality. I've been mocking these things for years. Just great. Nonsense is real after all. It was enjoyable to lambaste what I thought was not real. Not so hilarious if they exist. Hahaha.)

Shadow the divine guide for Humanity who does no wrong. How many times have you viewed the new Star Wars The Clone Wars movie? (SuperShadow: Over 20 times at Lucas' beyond the state of the art home theater system.) Does it rank favorably with the live action Star Wars movie episodes? (SuperShadow: Honestly, most of the cynical discontents will prefer the Clone Wars film over the Star Wars prequel trilogy because Lucas is just providing the story idea for the Clone Wars film while it is being directed by someone else and Lucas didn't write the screenplay. Those of you who want a more limited involvement from Lucas get your wish.)
Let me know if I should be in a frenzy for this movie and already start waiting in line for tickets. (SuperShadow: It follows the secret Star Wars plot formula strictly so its box office profitability is guaranteed.) I will do anything for Star Wars as commanded by you. (SuperShadow: As it should be. You must watch the Clone Wars film 250 times in theaters. Hahaha.)
Elegant SS, is George going to have enough energy to executive produce Star Wars Episode 7, 8 and 9? He's real old and will be over 75 years old when work begins on Star Wars Episode 7. (SuperShadow: Multi billionaires can afford to see a doctor every week. This means Lucas will have the health of a regular person in their fifties when Lucas will actually be ancient in his seventies. Access to the best doctors will allow Lucas to linger into his nineties with ease.)
I hope it will work out, but it seems puzzling that George will spend his remaining years continuously creating new Star Wars products like the sequel trilogy and TV shows. Thanks for the selfless dedication you give the fans. You deserve your success. (SuperShadow: Lucas doesn't have anything better to do than work on Star Wars. He hasn't been able to think up an iconic blockbuster film franchise since the mid 1970's when he created Star Wars and Indiana Jones.)
SuperShadow, why do the box office grosses of Star Wars Episode 1 The Phantom Menace match the box office of The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi while Indiana Jones 4 and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull will earn about the same amount of money in the United States and Canada as Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom & Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade? There must be an invisible hand behind the scenes. (SuperShadow: Yeah, I agree this is strange. When adjusted for inflation for 2008 statistics, The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi both have a North American box office amounts of roughly $ 600 million U.S. dollars. Similarly, the inflation augmented box office of The Phantom Menace is around $ 580 million U.S. dollars.
So basically these movies are equally successful in North America, but The Phantom Menace is hugely more successful overseas than The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi, which had relatively low international box office earnings. To continue with your insight, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom and Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade have adjusted box office revenues of $ 350 million U.S. dollars each in North America. It appears Indiana Jones 4 and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull will be close to these numbers although realistically Indiana Jones 4 won't make much over $ 300 million U.S. dollars domestically. We can't explain the parallel between these box office statistics. Cue the Twilight Zone theme music, please. Hahaha.)
Supreme Chancellor of Coolness, do you watch the new Battlestar Galactica TV show broadcast on the Sci Fi TV Network? It's one of the most fantastic television shows of the 21st century. (SuperShadow: No, popular TV is not for me. I know I'm constantly terrifying society by revealing the true nature of reality, but certain things must be known. Television is a product of the Blue Monster Pan Flute conspiracy. It would take forever to explain this clever scheme, but just trust me: Television is nefarious and intended to destroy our civilization by means of increasing moral decline as time progresses.)

Does GL (SuperShadow: George Lucas, the second greatest mega genius ever behind only the revelatory SS.) have a will that points you as the successor of the Star Wars saga? (SuperShadow: No, I don't have an interest in following in Lucas' shadow after he departs this primitive planet. Nobody can achieve the Heavenly masterfulness of Star Wars plot lines like Lucas. He can't be replaced and we're not even going to try. Anyway, an individual with a personal ego larger than the Universe doesn't think he will perish. Lucas will probably outlive every fan alive today.)
I was wondering where in the Star Wars time line that Star Wars Episodes 7, 8 and 9 take place? (SuperShadow: Star Wars Episode 7 takes place about 30 years after the events of Return of the Jedi.) Are they taking into consideration any of the Star Wars books such as the New Jedi Order series? (SuperShadow: Not at all. The Star Wars expanded universe, consisting of novels and comic books, are intended simply to fulfill the demand a few fans have to read what happens to the heroes after the end of the classic Star Wars trilogy. These expanded universe stories will be superseded and completely replaced by the scripts for Star Wars Episode 7, 8 and 9.)
During Star Wars Episode 7, Ben Skywalker and Anakin Solo on pursuit of Asp. The speeder bike chase continues into the Coruscant zoo. Ben and Anakin throw their light sabers at Asp and Asp ducks quickly down blocking one of the light sabers with his own, the other knocking Asp off his speeder bike. A cornered Asp shakily looks around then suddenly Force pushes his speeder bike toward Anakin and Ben. It misses and opens the cage of the Rygor tigers. (SuperShadow: Sweet skies of Gallifrey. This is ingenious in the same vein as the concepts developed by Lucas and SS. This will be forwarded to Lucas.)
Hey Shadow. Will there be a DVD box set of all 4 Indiana Jones movies? (SuperShadow: Nyet. Not soon. The original Indiana Jones trilogy has already been sold on two separate occasions in one DVD box set. Only a sparse number of fans could afford all four Indiana Jones films in one package. If a merchandising product won't make excessively greedy profits, Lucasfilm doesn't bother with it.) If so, when will it be available? (SuperShadow: NEVER.)
Awesome SS, I think we should take a moment as fans to thank you for your continuous dedication to Star Wars and Indiana Jones. (SuperShadow: Why thank you. It's appreciated profusely. Hahaha.) You've been providing the newest spoilers and secrets related to Lucasfilm productions for over 12 years now. (SuperShadow: SS.com has no end. Go rejoice for eternity. Amen.)
We must admit that SS is the # 1 gift to Humanity in the history of the world. (SuperShadow: No one dares dispute this.) May you persist in always being the most famous, successful and trusted friend of George Lucas. We bow to your infinite grace and courage. (SuperShadow: It carries me away with subtle understandings of my important place in reality.)
|
Wow. I don't know what else to say. The Star Wars Episode 7 Choose Your Destiny of Fate is something I thought couldn't really exist. Forget about Sasquatch and supernatural ghosts. (SuperShadow: Nonsense exists even in the absence of proof.) We've found all we need to know on this miraculous web site. (SuperShadow: We descended to Earth from the Heavens many moons ago. Your primitive inhabitants welcomed us as if we were the technological gods themselves. Hahaha.)
The most monumental day of my life was discovering SuperShadow.com. Many thanks to SS for making our lives pleasant in ways we never thought possible. (SuperShadow: Promoting a brave new world is my singular ambition in life.) I think we can say SS is a blessing to Star Wars. Hail Lord SS, the impervious mega Human Being. (SuperShadow: My life is the perfect perfectness of perfection. Thank the eternal powers that I'm SS. I need to pinch myself every few seconds to make sure this is all real. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.)
SuperShadow, how can we really find out who the most powerful Jedi and Sith of all time really are? (SuperShadow: Whatever Lucas says.) Lucas has a limited understanding of the Star Wars franchise. (SuperShadow: Probably so. He rarely watches the Star Wars movies. It burns him out over time.) He doesn't read the Star Wars novels or comic books. (SuperShadow: Extremely true.) He doesn't have enough time to play the Star Wars video games or gather the Star Wars collectibles in the same way the fans do. (SuperShadow: Agreed. This is a certainty.)
In the end, the opinion of Lucas regarding Star Wars isn't very valuable. (SuperShadow: Unfortunately, Lucas is all we have since he is the maker of the immortal saga.) The only person capable of making these decisions is you. (SuperShadow: I can't argue with this fact.) You're the legend. You're the icon. You're our saviour. You're the only one to be trusted. You have become greater than Star Wars. (SuperShadow: You speak the truth similar to the revelations of the Chariots of the Gods by whoever wrote the initial book on this subject. Von Danikan? Hahaha.)
Mesmerizing SS, Revenge of the Sith made about $ 850 million U.S. dollars at the worldwide box office. In comparison, Indiana Jones 4 and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull isn't anywhere near this impressive box office amalgamation. What went wrong? (SuperShadow: Star Wars is a lot more popular than Indiana Jones. The sequels to Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark averaged about $ 340 million U.S. dollars (adjusted for inflation for the year 2008) in theater earnings in North America. You can't expect Indiana Jones 4 to surpass these numbers. Indiana Jones is an ancient film series with its prime days in the past.) Special thanks for you actually caring about the lower life forms on this planet. Much, much appreciated. (SuperShadow: Giving back to the fans day after endless day is what I do. This continues only until the final moments of time.)
Shadow, I see Russian agents. I see Chinese operatives. I see Iranian commandos. I see North Korean James Bond 007 types. Everywhere. Literally all over the United States. How can I sleep realizing we have been defeated in the same way the Roman Empire fell to the barbarian hordes? Hear my cries of discontent. Oh mighty and just and sinless Shadow, who rules with charity and no bravado. (SuperShadow: Delusions are important. We create what we want in our deepest expressions of the soul. For this to be reality, you need evidence. Anything at all would be nice. Don't worry about such things because every empire that ever ruled and conquered no longer exists today. This includes the Greeks, Romans, Babylonians, Mongols and etc. etc. We can witness the birth of new empires. How fortunate we really are. Hahaha.)
|
Envied to the max SS. The reported budget for Indiana Jones 4 and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull is suppose to be over $ 180 million U.S. dollars. (SuperShadow: That's ridiculous. Lucas is way too cheap to spend that much money on Indiana Jones. It would be impossible to ever make his investment back.)
George Lucas claims he can make Star Wars Episode 7 for around $ 140 million U.S. dollars. (SuperShadow: Lucas can do anything. You must believe. Hahaha.) This seems impossible because Episode 7 is going to be the most complicated special effects movie in the history of the world with massively photo realistic computer animation. (SuperShadow: Very true. Star Wars Episode 7 will feature extremely expensive action sequences involving thousands of Jedi Knights vs. Dark Jedi in gravity defying light saber duels.)
Indy Jones 4 has almost zero computer animation. I'm thinking Episode 7 will cost around $ 225 million U.S. dollars if George wants to do it right. (SuperShadow: Lucas is praying that photo realistic computer animation will be affordable by 2019. Episode 7 may have a production budget, which is actually less than the one for Revenge of the Sith even after adjusting for inflationary costs.) There's nothing it can't do. Do to you. We are humbled by your infinite greatness, master of all warlords. (SuperShadow: SS is above the incalculable. Hahaha.)
Shadow, James Cameron claims his Avatar film is going to be the most sophisticated movie production of all time. Why isn't ILM doing the post production work for Avatar? (SuperShadow: ILM is a low, low budget operation. Their super computers are ancient. ILM doesn't have the necessary means to create the three dimensional life like computer animation James Cameron needs for the ambitious Avatar movie.)
Cameron is employing the skills of WETA, who helped Peter Jackson create the splendid The Lord of the Rings film trilogy. (SuperShadow: WETA has state of the art super computers. They're preparing for The Hobbit film.) One moment to praise you: Because what you do, you do all out. It's what we expect, exalted one. (SuperShadow: SS wishes someone would completely and accurately describe his full potential. Hahaha.)
Mega genius without equal, the stories created for the expanded universe novels and comic books are horrid to a major degree. (SuperShadow: The expanded universe products exist ONLY to produce income for Lucasfilm. It's all meaningless.) They killed off Chewbacca. (SuperShadow: The primary heroes never die in the Star Wars movie episodes.)
Can't you control this nonsense to keep them from further destroying the beauty and majesty of Star Wars? (SuperShadow: Nobody reads the Star Wars novels and comic books so what they do doesn't matter at all.) We're honored to have the privilege of reading the hallowed SS.com on a daily basis. You are a dream come true for all fans. (SuperShadow: This is more like it. An individual who understands the true brilliance of SS. Hahaha.)
SuperShadow, why do you get to be God's favorite person? (SuperShadow: SS controls the Universe. This includes Heaven. Hahaha.) You get to live an enchanted life where everything goes your way. (SuperShadow: Too much luckiness is me being me. Hahaha.) You can alter elections on a national and local level. (SuperShadow: Yeah, this is so. Politicians serve at my whim. Hahaha.)
While Jesus sits at the right hand of the Almighty, you get to sit at the right hand of Jesus forever and ever. (SuperShadow: SS is much better looking than Jesus. Hahaha.) It would be nice if I could be godlike in your image just for once. (SuperShadow: There is only one SS per galaxy. It's all about me. Hahaha.)
Also your ability to conspire with the Illuminati, extraterrestrial entities and the Russians without each of them knowing about the other in your remarkable schemes for galactic wide control over existence is something too amazing for words. (SuperShadow: The truth is that the Illuminati, ET's and the Russians don't really exist. They're a creation of the military industrial complex, who need over rated adversaries in order to justify the trillions of U.S. dollars we spend on the U.S. Military and dozens of intelligence gathering agencies. Ultimately, nothing is real. Hahaha.)
I should at least get to be you for a few seconds. (SuperShadow: Not ever. No sharing from me. Hahaha.) I deserve this. Make it happen immediately, your highness. (SuperShadow: Life is my toy. Civilization needs to hope SS doesn't get bored with it. Hahaha.)

Hey SuperShadow, will we see a book(s) with the new Star Wars Episode 7, 8 and 9 movie trilogy? (SuperShadow: Of course. Lucasfilm is an impoverished corporation with very few revenue streams. The years in between film episodes of Star Wars in cinemas are difficult for them. That's why each Star Wars film is promoted with hundreds of countless merchandising products. The official novelization of Star Wars Episode 7 will be released to the public a few weeks before the theatrical release of the Episode 7 motion picture.)
Mr. Lucas. The motorcycle Mutt Williams rides during Indiana Jones 4 and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull is awesome. Would you be able to tell us what exactly you did to the original Harley? I would love to make one just like it. (SuperShadow: Hahaha. SS can't stop laughing at this highly unwittingly humorous remark. There's no way YOU could afford a classic Harley Davidson motor bike from the 1950's. This should be obvious to ya. You may dream of owning such things, but you will always end up behind the wheel of a 1975 Caribbean blue AMC Gremlin. Accept your life destiny because it will never ever change. Hahaha.)
What's the deal with R5-D4, the red astromech droid from Star Wars Episode 4 A New Hope, which has the faulty motivator on Tatooine? (SuperShadow: This is difficult to explain to simple mortals, but I'll try. You see the advanced machine immortals from the distant future worship R5-D4 as their one true god. This may seem like a silly belief system, but no religions are based on evidence. Reality is what it is. You could do worse than R5-D4 as your primary deity. Study the vast majority of Earthly religious doctrines and you'll completely understand my point. Hahaha.)
It would have been cool if in Revenge of the Sith when Anakin was telling Padme that Anakin is more powerful then Palpatine and Anakin could overthrow Palpatine if Anakin's eyes have turned yellow while thinking about his dark side future would have been awesome. (SuperShadow: This idea is like seeing the face of God for the first time. Stunning and remarkably frightening at the same time. This pure genius will be forwarded to Lucas. You have done well.)

Incredible Shadow, is George ready to reveal another movie idea, which is the equal of Star Wars or Indiana Jones? Always continue your plans of world domination. (SuperShadow: Sadly, Lucas is out of billion dollar ideas. Lucas has had five major film ideas. Two worked: Star Wars and Indiana Jones. Three didn't work in the long run: THX-1138, American Graffiti and Willow. Lucas realizes that Star Wars will provide 90 % of all future revenues for Lucasfilm. For the next ten years at a minimum, Lucas will be developing various Star Wars TV series with a few episodes combined together for full length movies in theaters every couple of years.)
SS and Lucas are the best things to ever happen. I constantly thank the Heavens for both of you. (SuperShadow: Our deeds are miraculous.) Why did the Empire need the bounty hunters that are briefly seen during The Empire Strikes Back? All hail SS. (SuperShadow: The bounty hunters, which appear in The Empire Strikes Back, were inspired by The Man With No Name from the Spaghetti Westerns trilogy directed by Sergio Leone and starring Clint Eastwood. Lucas has always been fascinated with bounty killers. In reality, you wouldn't think the Empire would need outside help to hunt down our heroes, but you have to admit the bounty hunters look extremely killer cool and made for amazing action figures. Hahaha.)
SuperShadow, we've seen the Nazi and Russians as villains for the Indiana Jones movies. Where does GL go next for Indiana Jones 5? Rage it forward. We need you more then ever. (SuperShadow: In the next installment of the Indiana Jones film franchise, the Communist Chinese will be the primary bad guys of Indiana Jones 5. You have to admit the Chinese are ferocious competitors, who will challenge Indiana Jones to the point of no return.)
Are the Ewoks a permanent part of Return of the Jedi? It would be nice if George Lucas implemented photo realistic computer animation to replace the Ewoks with a vicious extraterrestrial species with a more realistic chance of defeating the most elite Imperial special forces commandos at the battle on the Endor moon. (SuperShadow: Originally, Lucas wanted to show the Wookiee home world of Kashyyyk in Return of the Jedi, but lacked the special effects technology to make it possible.
As a result, Lucas decided to cut the Wookiees in half and make them the lovable Ewoks. Lucas has stated if he had computer animation back in the early 1980's he could have made much more exciting allies for the Rebel Alliance on the Sanctuary moon. However, Lucas had no options back then and had no choice but to have the Ewoks. Even if Lucas could modify the Ewoks, this will never happen out of respect and tradition for the way the classic Star Wars trilogy ultimately turned out in the end.)
|
I have an idea for Indiana Jones 5 or 6. Mutt Williams decided to become a cryptozoologist and is on the brink of discovering dinosaurs or Bigfoot in an exotic location. (SuperShadow: Hahaha. Very funny.) Mutt gets a call from Indy because Nazi survivors of World War II have found the hollow earth during the expeditions to Antarctica or the North Pole. The movie is a big adventure in the center of the Earth. (SuperShadow: This is the absolute quandary of our time. These ideas will be forwarded to Lucas.)
Hi SS. I'm 40 years old and a big fan of Star Wars since my childhood. Now my son is also a great fan although it is only 5 years old. (SuperShadow: Giving the gift of Star Wars is a positive attribute for all children.) I'm from Greece and I was wondering, will my son have the opportunity to educate himself by watching, the maybe rated by his dad for Sith Lords TV series? (SuperShadow: The Sith Lords will be featured in the new Star Wars The Clone Wars. However, there will not be a TV show about the history of the ancient Sith anytime soon.) When they will become reality? (SuperShadow: A Sith Lord based TV show could happen about 5 years from now.)
Are we going to see them here in Greece? (SuperShadow: If you receive the Cartoon Network in Greece, then you will be able to see the Clone Wars TV series later this year. Otherwise, you will have to wait to purchase the new Clone Wars TV show on DVD in about a year or so.) Will my son grow up just waiting? (SuperShadow: The future is uncertain regarding a Sith Lord TV show.) His education chance. Please answer and forgive my pure language. (SuperShadow: It's like the battle between id vs. ego.)
Is there more than one SuperShadow? (SuperShadow: This is difficult to fathom, but the godlike, massive genius of SS.com is the product of SS based on the vision of Lucas. SS posts what Lucas gives SS about the true secrets of Star Wars.) How do you take holidays? (SuperShadow: If you knew how stunning my life is on a daily basis, SS would be even more envied if such were possible. My entire life is a permanent vacation above the blessings of the Heavens.)
Hi there. I have only just found the SS web site and I've been reading through everything with amazement. (SuperShadow: The brilliance of SS and Lucas is something you can't handle. Hahaha.) It may be a silly question, but I have to ask. Has George Lucas officially announced he is going to make Star Wars Episode 7? (SuperShadow: Yes, Lucas announced his plans to create Star Wars Episode 7 many years ago. It's more than official.)
SuperShadow, this is the greatest web site in the known universe. (SuperShadow: Never underestimate the abilities of SS. We defeated the entire Universe many billions of years in the past. Hahaha.) I just have a comment, the Indiana Jones 4 and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull movie was maybe the best yet, but all this talk of more films would kinda fall short. (SuperShadow: Not fair to Lucasfilm. They need excessive profits from future Indiana Jones films in order to stay in business. The primary goal of a corporation is to maximize profits.)
This one seemed to be the last great treasure hunt by far. I couldn't imagine anything that could top that hunt! Unless you do an Indiana Jones 5 as Indy Jones in space?! (SuperShadow: Hahaha. Hilarious. That's called Star Wars.) Oh and can Lucas think of maybe doing the Star Wars 7, 8 and 9 movies a little sooner than the later? (SuperShadow: A 16 year break in between Star Wars film trilogies is required.) Many thanks and gratitude for over the years. (SuperShadow: Serving the fans eternally.)
R5-D4! Now that I have your attention: I just saw Indiana Jones 4 today. Please tell Lucas I really enjoyed it especially the inside joke about speaking Quechua. (SuperShadow: That was no inside joke. It was obvious to the fans.)
Mr. Shadowtastic. So Harrison Ford stated that he would never again reprise the role of Han Solo. Hmmm? (SuperShadow: Where is the evidence to support this argument? You can't provide even a single interview where Harrison Ford has claimed he is finished with the Han Solo character.) I think that he is just saying this to throw everyone off track to the fact that there will indeed be another Star Wars movie trilogy made. (SuperShadow: Harrison Ford has already agreed to star in Star Wars Episode 7, 8 and 9.)
Yet, he stated that he would reprise his role as Indiana Jones in a "New York Minute." So are we going to have Indiana Jones "in search of the lost city of Geritol" with the McGuffen being an ancient Mayan golden hand that relieves arthritis pain and can also be used as a back scratcher only if he can find the "Staff of Itches" and put the two relics together. (SuperShadow: Harrison Ford isn't really very old at all.)
I see dollar signs for George Lucas and Steven Spielberg on that one. Indiana Jones figures with back scratching action! Target exclusives anyone? Hello cha-ching! Please post, this web site needs some humor and if I read one more comment about which Jedi vs. which Jedi would win in a fight again, I am going to Jedi purge my guts out. Who cares. (SuperShadow: The real question is why should we value your opinion. You are you because of these awful ideas you propose. You have no means to escape your awful predicament. Hahaha.)
Let's just say that Obi-Wan wins all the time no matter who fights whom, DONE! (SuperShadow: Simply naive.) Yoda and Anakin fight and Obi-Wan comes in and wipes them both out, simple. (SuperShadow: Go back into hiding, please. Hahaha.)
Hello Master SS. Love the web site as always. (SuperShadow: That's why we're # 1.) I read a while back that you said no good Jedi will use Force lightning because of the nature of its damaging effects. (SuperShadow: The Jedi Knights do not torture others.) I know Jedi don't use it themselves they just reflect it back at their opponents.
But when you look at the big picture decapitating your foe with a light saber is pretty brutal also. (SuperShadow: Such killing blows do not inflict barbaric torture. Quick and painless.) However, I think it would be O.K. for good Jedi to use it to take out a vehicle/star ship's electronics or take out some droids. What do you think? (SuperShadow: No. Nyet. Nah huh. Force lightning is evil to the bone. It cannot be utilized by the Jedi)
Glorification of SS, give an update about Indiana Jones 4 and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull conquering the box office? SS and George aren't repeatable. Not ever. (SuperShadow: For Friday, May 30, Indiana Jones 4 made about $ 12.3 million U.S. dollars at cinemas in North America. The box office gross is $ 183 million U.S. dollars total domestically.)
|
What will happen if GL dies before he creates the new Star Wars Episode 7, 8 and 9 movie trilogy? (SuperShadow: You fool, it is not possible for Lucas to perish before the appointed time. This will be true forever. Hahaha.) Does he have an heir to his throne? (SuperShadow: SS controls Star Wars. This is uncontested.)
The Star Wars Episode 7 Choose Your Destiny of Fate rocks. (SuperShadow: The mega genius of Lucas increases exponentially on a daily basis. His brain power will one day rival the unlimited, infinite George Lucas ego. Hahaha.) Will it have new versions in the future? Thanks for being so kind and compassionate. (SuperShadow: The fans have been clamoring for an update to the Star Wars Episode 7 plot summary for several years. At the moment, Lucas hasn't decided in what direction Episode 7 will take in its final form. Hence, Lucas created the Choose Your Destiny of Fate to allow the fandom to explore the Star Wars saga in a way no one ever imagined before.)
Master of the Universe, how did Lucas know the Millennium Falcon was going to have an iconic classic look when he designed it? There has never been a star ship more dazzling than the MF. (SuperShadow: Lucas thought up the idea for the Millennium Falcon, but the artistic rendering of the Falcon was drawn by artist Ralph McQuarrie. Everything seen in Star Wars Episode 4 A New Hope from the storm troopers to the sand crawler to the death star to C-3PO to the X-Wings and etc. etc. originated from the mind of McQuarrie.)
What's the newest info about Indiana Jones 4 and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull? Your greatness is beyond what can be measured. Go SS go. (SuperShadow: The box office for Indiana Jones 4 on Thursday, May 29 was $ 5.3 million U.S. dollars in North America. The total earnings of Indy Jones 4 in North American theaters is $ 171 million U.S. dollars. The new Indiana Jones movie might hit $ 350 million U.S. dollars in the end domestically.)
|
Hi SS, we can hope for an extended cut of the wonderful Indiana Jones 4? (SuperShadow: This is not The Lord of the Rings movie trilogy nonsense. The version of Indiana Jones 4 currently seen in theaters is the only one Steven Spielberg will ever produce.)
I would like to see more of it! (SuperShadow: Expect to see several deleted scenes on the Indiana Jones 4 DVD, which will be released to retail outlets later this year.) I have seen it 5 times now! (SuperShadow: Not good enough. I've seen Indy Jones 4 countless dozens of times at Lucas' beyond the state of the art home theater system. You've never really seen a film until you see it from a digital projection system costing many, many millions of U.S. dollars.)
Hey SuperShadow, did you notice that Shia Labeouf and Harrison Ford resemble each other? (SuperShadow: Hahaha. Your perception of reality must be hilarious.) If you look closely at a photo of each of them, you'll see they have a slight resemblance to one another. (SuperShadow: Yeah, Jake Lloyd and Hayden Christensen look exactly the same. Hahaha.)
I know you might deny my comment, but that's what I think. (SuperShadow: Your opinion is real important. Hahaha.) Also my dad says that if Shia Labeouf played as "Mutt Williams" again with Mutt taking Indiana Jones' place in a another movie, then Shia would become a mega millionaire. (SuperShadow: Shia is already a multi millionaire. How much money is enough? Hahaha.)
That would be kinda awesome if Mutt became just like his dad and went on adventures of his own, finding all kinds of treasure and artifacts. I hope you liked my idea. May the Force be with you. (SuperShadow: Lucas has already suggested having future films with Shia Labeouf in the lead role. This might happen given the extremely advanced age of Harrison Ford.)
Hey S.S. I have a question. In the Star Wars Episode 7 Choose Your Destiny of Fate section of SuperShadow.com, will any of the choices we've selected be featured or taken into consideration when developing the final script for Star Wars Episode 7? (SuperShadow: Yes, this new Episode 7 summary represents the fan ideas Lucas is going to include in the screenplay for Episode 7. Thousands of other fan ideas will also be integrated into Episode 7.)
Hey SuperShadow, what if the Rebels had gained complete control over the death star? Would they use it to destroy the Empire? Let me know. (SuperShadow: If the Rebel Alliance had the use of the death star, they would utilize it to decimate the entire Imperial fleet. This would have been devastating for the Empire because they would be unable to gather a large number of star destroyers in a single star system. The Empire would have been driven to scatter the Imperial Navy all over the galaxy in hidden locations.)
Lord Shadow - many thanks for all you did leading up to the Indiana Jones 4 movie. It is epic and a thrill. (SuperShadow: Without doubt, Indy Jones 4 is the prime adventure in the entire Indiana Jones film franchise.) And thanks for the summary of Indiana Jones 5 and Indiana Jones 6. (SuperShadow: Providing spoilers years in advance of the cinematic release is why we're world famous.)
These are fantastic teases for all of us GL fans. We WANT him to please stick around long enough to make these happen. Think you can influence him some for us? (SuperShadow: Lucas is NEVER going to retire from the film business. You're stuck with his vision for Star Wars and Indiana Jones for the next three decades at a minimum.)
Why haven't there been any trailers for the Star Wars The Clone Wars movie? (SuperShadow: Where you been? There are teaser trailers already available.) Or are they coming out soon? Thanks for all you do for the Lucas fan club. (SuperShadow: Lucas has stated many times that SS is the greatest factor to have ever happened to Star Wars. We are the harbinger of a bright future.)
Supreme SS, what's the latest news on the theatrical success of Indiana Jones 4 and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull? Our future belongs to you. Thank the Heavens it's you instead of some mortal. (SuperShadow: On Wednesday, May 28, Indiana Jones 4 made $ 6 million U.S. dollars in North American theaters. The total box office for Indy Jones 4 is now over $ 165 million U.S. dollars for North America.)
|
Ingenious SS, how close does the Star Wars The Clone Wars film follow the Star Wars plot formula? (SuperShadow: Pretty closely. When you find something that works in the movie business, you don't ever abandon it.) I expect Lucas won't change his ways since this story formula has been working for over 30 years. (SuperShadow: Yeah, Lucas fully understands the brilliance of the Star Wars plot formula. The fans actually expect Lucas to adhere to it for every Star Wars movie.) Keep the world going round and round. (SuperShadow: Benefiting Mankind is my sole goal in life. Hahaha.)
Shadow, I can't wait for Indiana Jones 5. (SuperShadow: Indy Jones 5 won't happen soon. Lucas is immersed in the Star Wars TV series.) The Indy Jones movies are getting increasingly exciting as the series progresses. (SuperShadow: Lucas had nearly two decades or so to develop the plot outline for Indiana Jones 4, which explains the perfection of the product you see in theaters.)
When is Indy Jones 5 going to happen? (SuperShadow: Many, many years from today.) Thanks for transforming the fans in a positive way. (SuperShadow: Being the only world famous Star Wars expert is totaling enthralling with no end. Hahaha.)
Miraculous Legend, I've read the Star Wars Episode 7 Choose Your Destiny of Fate dozens of times. (SuperShadow: That's the single most popular section of SS.com with no close second.) It improves with each new discovery of how the summary outline flows as chosen by the reader. (SuperShadow: Lucas continues to amaze even in his golden years. Hahaha.)
Is George going to write one for Star Wars Episode 8 and Episode 9? (SuperShadow: Perhaps in about 5 years.) Oh yeah, we're radioactive. (SuperShadow: Opening Indiana Jones 4 with a nuclear blast is very reminiscent of the 1950's Cold War era.)
SS, how's Indiana Jones 4 and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull holding up at the box office? (SuperShadow: Spectacularly as predicted. Indiana Jones 4 amassed another $ 7.6 million U.S. dollars on Tuesday, May 27. The total box office gross for North America is currently $ 159.6 million U.S. dollars.)
Personally, it was mesmerizing to see the Indy Jones 4 theater revenues increase as the first weekend unfolded. (SuperShadow: This is the natural result of stellar positive word of mouth from the loyalists and average moviegoers. It allows the box office to remain solid in subsequent weeks that is the key to maximizing revenues from cinemas.)
After this unprecedented success, it makes sensible business acumen to do the exact same thing in each of the Indiana Jones movies. (SuperShadow: For as long as Lucas is alive, all Indiana Jones movies will be based on the Indy Jones plot element formula.) Also, seeing a UFO in an Indiana Jones film is extremely funny. (SuperShadow: The extraterrestrial presence is the most rewarding theme from Indiana Jones 4. Additionally, the Soviets are fantastic villains.)
Shadow, who is far beyond the gods of the ancients. (SuperShadow: SS believes the supernatural and mechanized gods are real in spite of there being absolutely no evidence for the ethereal immortals really existing. I say the less proof the better. Hahaha.)
Having the dark side destroyed at the end of Star Wars Episode 9 is an inventive means to conclude the Skywalker family story arc. (SuperShadow: Lucas needed a way to shock the fans similar to the father revelation by Darth Vader at the end of The Empire Strikes Back.) From a realism perspective, the agents of evil are ultimately defeated by the good guys. (SuperShadow: Yes, but the dark forces win many, many, many battles during this ageless and seemingly eternal war.)
I'm glad George Lucas has chosen to show the fandom the final clash between the light side and dark side of the Force in a motion picture. (SuperShadow: This is the only appropriate way to finish Star Wars Episode 9. We need to see why Luke Skywalker is the greatest Jedi Master of all time.) Congratulate Lucas for the impressive adventure showcased in the new Indiana Jones movie.
Lucas is saving his best ideas for the future apparently. (SuperShadow: Well, Lucas has a lot of free time to create original twists to his movie formulas. Lucas had over a decade to refine and maximize the plot for the Star Wars prequel trilogy and he had years and years to work on Indiana Jones 4.)
|
Master SS, how does George get away with it? (SuperShadow: With what? Engaging massive profits is what Lucas is all about. Hahaha.) The Star Wars plot formula reveals that George made the same exact Star Wars film 6 times without doing anything even remotely original. (SuperShadow: Agreed. The Star Wars movie episodes are repetitive over and over again.) Likewise, the Indiana Jones movie formula reveals that George made the exact same Indy Jones film four times in a row. (SuperShadow: True enough.)
Do the people not want originality? Take care of the world, SS. (SuperShadow: Only the fans of SS.com realize the secret Star Wars and Indiana Jones plot formula exists. The average person, attending the Star Wars and Indiana Jones movies in cineplexes, has no idea what's really going on. This is hilarious to no end. Lucas is a genius without equal.)
Incredible knock out Shadow, is Lucas resigned to the fact the Star Wars The Clone Wars movie won't equal the Star Wars prequel trilogy in box office numbers? (SuperShadow: Not really. Lucas doesn't realize the godlike nature of the prequel films. He really thinks the new Clone Wars movie has a chance of outperforming the outlandish box office grosses of the prequels. Such will never happen. Hahaha.) Thanks for always being there. It's a great comfort to each of us for eternity. (SuperShadow: SS serves the fans until the literal end of days, which could occur without notice. Hahaha.)
SS, GL ought to really think about making Star Wars Episode 7 at least three hours in running time. (SuperShadow: Too expensive. Each hour of a live action Star Wars movie costs about $ 60 million U.S. dollars. An extra hour of movie footage would increase Lucas' production costs by 50 percent from $ 120 million U.S. dollars to over $ 180 million U.S. dollars. Ultimately, excessive revenues are more important then the fans.)
180 minutes gives GL enough time to integrate most fan ideas into the Episode 7 plot. (SuperShadow: Your argument can't be disputed, but it will not happen.) He won't have to rush the story telling because of the action sequences, which have to be featured in the movie. (SuperShadow: Action battle sequences are the most important feature of Star Wars. This excitement is what causes intense positive word of mouth from the movie goers.) Let GL know we want this to happen. Continue the fight against evil always. (SuperShadow: We will contest the powers of the nefarious elements until they tell us to cease immediately. You can just dare me. Hahaha.)
At first I thought Indiana Jones 4 and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull was going to be one of the biggest box office flops of all time. However, it now seems poised to do as well as Attack of the Clones. (SuperShadow: The box office earnings of Indiana Jones 4 will exceed Star Wars Episode 2 Attack of the Clones, but likely won't equal the money made by Star Wars Episode 3 Revenge of the Sith in theaters.)
Is Lucas going to be able to afford the new 2009 Lamborghini models? (SuperShadow: Have no worries. In a few short weeks, Lucas will have his new fleet of Lamborghinis purchased directly from the money made by Indy Jones 4.) Remain ready and waiting, SS. (SuperShadow: We await the final moments of time. Hahaha.)

Indiana Jones 4 Box Office: Early estimates are in for the first weekend of theatrical release in North America for Indiana Jones 4 and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. From Thursday to Monday, Indy Jones 4 made around $ 151 million U.S. dollars. Here's a day by day breakdown of the box office gross thus far.
$ 25.0 million U.S. dollars (Thursday, May 22)
$ 31.0 million U.S. dollars (Friday, May 23)
$ 37.0 million U.S. dollars (Saturday, May 24)
$ 33.0 million U.S. dollars (Sunday, May 25)
$ 25.0 million U.S. dollars (Monday, May 26)
$ 151 million U.S. dollars total for the first five days of release in North American cinemas.
Meanwhile at the box office in foreign territories, Indiana Jones 4 grossed nearly $ 144 million U.S. dollars for a worldwide box office of $ 295 million U.S. dollars when added to the North American earnings.
Supreme SS. It looks like your sabotage against Indiana Jones 4 and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull failed. Indy Jones 4 began pitifully on Thursday, but has been increasing its box office power steadily. Looks like George won't be needing those donations after all. SS is king of kings, khan of khans and emperor of emperors. (SuperShadow: Indiana Jones 4 is benefiting heavily from massively intense positive word of mouth from the viewers in theaters. The combination of Russian villains with the extraterrestrial based crystal skull is stunning the public like nothing else in history. Once again, Lucas is profiting immensely from my advice regarding the plot outline for Indiana Jones 4. SS is always right about everything. That's the one thing that will always be certain. Hahaha.)
Shadow, reading the Star Wars Episode 7 Choose Your Destiny of Fate was thrilling and an extremely important highlight for my entire life. I would like to thank you and Lucas for taking care of the fans. No other mega guru or film maker serves the fans similar to what you two do. Keep living the top existence. (SuperShadow: We place the fans first above almost everything. It is an honor to be the most beloved and most respected, without question, Star Wars expert of all time.)
Mega wicked SuperShadow, after watching Indiana Jones 4 and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, I really do believe that you and GL deserve to be worshiped amongst the pantheon of righteous deities. Indiana Jones 4 is the most exciting action movie we've ever seen. It is better than even the Star Wars prequel trilogy episodes if such were possible. Lucasfilm productions are a lot more enjoyable when Lucas is limited to just writing the story and serving as executive producer.
Having Steven Spielberg as the director and David Koepp as the screen writer is paying huge dividends already. Thanks for creating the greatest Indy Jones movie we've been fortunate enough to witness. All hail you, master. (SuperShadow: Many of you might think Spielberg is a better director when compared to Lucas. However, Lucas is the only movie director to have two blockbuster films with total box office grosses in excess of $ 400 million U.S. dollars in North America. Star Wars Episode 4 A New Hope = $ 461 million U.S. dollars and Star Wars Episode 1 The Phantom Menace = $ 431 million U.S. dollars.)
SS, how much money does Lucas expect the new Star Wars The Clone Wars movie to make? (SuperShadow: Lucas has no idea at this point. The Clone Wars film only cost a couple of million U.S. dollars to create. Hence, a box office limited to $ 25 million U.S. dollars would still provide a hefty profit. After seeing the box office numbers for Indiana Jones 4, I think the Clone Wars film has a decent chance at $ 150 million U.S. dollars in North American theaters.)
Greetings exalted one, will you share the secrets of the Universe with us one day? (SuperShadow: No, I don't think so. If the world knew this hidden knowledge, it would no longer be clandestine. The whole point of my elaborate conspiracy is misdirection. Hahaha.)
|
In the new Star Wars Episode 7, 8 and 9 films, the Dark Jedi find an old Trade Federation star ship and start making millions of battle droids that the Rebels have to fight or Luke Skywalker finds the droids and attacks the Dark Jedi with them. (SuperShadow: This does not measure up to the SS and Lucas unlimited mega genius.) Who would win a war between the Confederacy of Independent Systems vs. the Empire? (SuperShadow: Flesh and blood Humans have no hopes against a mechanical military.)
What is the box office of Indiana Jones 4 and Kingdom of the Crystal Skull on Thursday? (SuperShadow: In North American theaters, Indy Jones 4 earned roughly $ 25 million U.S. dollars on May 22. A massive and infinite disappointment for Steven Spielberg, Harrison Ford and George Lucas.)
With your prediction, how much money will Lucasfilm earn after seeing the result on Thursday? (SuperShadow: Paramount Pictures gets about two thirds of the box office gross in the initial weekend. Most of this goes to Lucasfilm, which has spent over $ 225 million U.S. dollars producing and advertising Indiana Jones 4. Lucasfilm probably won't see a profit until the end of 2008 with the DVD release of Indy Jones 4.)
Would it not make more sense for Lucas to do a film series called 'Sith Wars' instead of 'Star Wars,' based upon the graphic novel by Dark Horse Comics? (SuperShadow: Hahaha. Horrendously humorous. SS will NEVER ever stop laughing at this one. Hahaha.)
These would be excellent films to make, giving a true history into the Sith and the Jedi and would also get around the problem of bringing back old actors to re-play old characters. (SuperShadow: Let me explain this clearly. Lucas will never turn the terrible expanded universe stories into motion pictures. This includes all the novels and Dark Horse comic books. On average, they are very, very lame with hardly any readers.)
Supes! I was watching Revenge of the Sith last night and Yoda was hopping circles around Darth Sidious in the middle of the Galactic Senate. I was thinking how frustrating it would be trying to chase that little leapfrog around to get some good light saber on Jedi contact. (SuperShadow: Life is difficult for the Sith Lords. Hahaha.)
What if we had a Jedi that was the polar opposite of Yoda for the next trilogy? Say his species comes from a world where the gravity is so strong that beings on that planet grow up to 10 or 12 feet tall and must be monstrously thick and muscular like giant, Humanoid elephants. They plod around on their home world, but on world's with lesser gravity their musculature gives them almost super Human strength even without the Force. (SuperShadow: Stellar and mesmerizing. This will be forwarded to Lucas.)
Their light sabers could be bigger and bulkier, also. We could make him kind of a 'dim-wit' (the lovable, big, dumb oaf) or we could make him highly intellectual - kind of like Beast from the X-Men. (SuperShadow: Groan. More like X-Crap. Hahaha.) I would personally vote for the oaf. My second idea comes from Discovery Channel.
A few months ago there was a special on nebulas. What if we showed a Jedi pursuing a Sith/Dark Jedi (or vice versa) into a nebula? The nebula acts as a giant ion cannon and neutralizes the flight systems on board both star ships. (SuperShadow: I'm awesome. Hahaha.) Both combatants go EVA and engage in a Zero-G light saber battle where the light sabers make the nebula ignite around them in a brilliant show of electrical discharges! (SuperShadow: Swift. You make our dreams alive.)
One final suggestion, can we stop the ridiculous postings of comments like: "Who would win a duel between blah, blah, blah?" They are a waste of time and space! They are a blight on your web site's Mona Lisa! (SuperShadow: When you become the most famous and most successful Star Wars fan of all time just like SS, then we might maybe sorta will consider your words. Hahaha.) Sorry for the length, but if you would post me more often. Best wishes! (SuperShadow: My life is spectacular above your greatest desires.)

Genius, genius, genius! It appears the George Lucas movie formula for Indiana Jones might have finally run off the hinges. Indiana Jones 4 and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull made about 40 % of what you predicted on opening day. Has the public finally turned on Lucas? Keep rocking da planet. (SuperShadow: You need to remember box office history involving Lucas. Star Wars Episode 1 The Phantom Menace started slow in its first weekend, but extremely high positive word of mouth kept business strong the following weeks in cinemas. Indiana Jones 4 probably will still do as much theatrical business as Star Wars Episode 2 Attack of the Clones ($ 310 million U.S. dollars in North America, not adjusted for inflation).
This is in line with the inflation adjusted box office grosses of Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom ($ 360 million U.S. dollars in North America adjusted for inflation) and Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade ($ 330 million U.S. dollars adjusted). The Indy Jones film series has never been as popular as Star Wars so it's unrealistic to expect Indiana Jones 4 to reach $ 400 million U.S. dollars in North America.)
SS, the audiences don't seem intrigued with extraterrestrials in an Indiana Jones movie. (SuperShadow: Not true. The box office gross for Indiana Jones 4 rebounded to about $ 31 million U.S. dollars for Friday, May 23. Positive word of mouth is increasing the daily box office figures. Saturday, May 24 could hit $ 37 million U.S. dollars or even more.)
Next time, you ought to have Indy Jones chase Sasquatch for two hours. At least Bigfoot has a chance of existing. There's no way alien beings from parallel dimensions are real. (SuperShadow: Anything is possible even something beyond what you can understand with limited mortal sensory apparatus.) Very, very silly. All hail SS, the master of the Human species for ever and ever. Amen. (SuperShadow: Being SS is a blessing with no end. Hahaha.)
Uber Shadow, I just noticed the official Indiana Jones web site is now taking donations to facilitate George making back his investment for Indiana Jones 4 and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. (SuperShadow: We should each contribute as much as possible immediately. Hahaha.) Some box office web sites are saying the production budget for Indy Jones 4 might have been $ 185 million U.S. dollars. (SuperShadow: Not accurate. Around $ 150 million U.S. dollars, which is the largest budget for a Lucasfilm movie of all time. The Star Wars prequel trilogy episodes cost just over $ 100 million U.S. dollars a piece.) Thanks for loving the fans with all your heart. (SuperShadow: Caring deeply for everyone is what I do.)
SuperShadow, I read the plot summary for Indiana Jones 5. This should have been the story for Indiana Jones 4. (SuperShadow: Lucas has wanted to do the crystal skull themed idea for a long, long time. Lucas didn't want to do two straight Christian based artifacts in back to back Indiana Jones movies. Since Lucas utilized the Holy Grail in the final film of the classic Indiana Jones movie series, he had to skip to Indiana Jones 5 to implement a story about finding the holy cross of Jesus. We can't question Lucas.)
The search for the holy cross of Jesus is more sensible than crystal skulls, which don't have a basis in actual archaeology. Scientists have never found a real crystal skull forged by off world entities or ancient Mankind. (SuperShadow: Some people believe the crystal skulls are real even if mainstream science rejects this interpretation of ancient times.)

Hey Soops. Given the current crossover on the brilliant SS web site, a quick question. Who would win in a fight between Han Solo (with a blaster) and Indiana Jones (with a leather whip)? (SuperShadow: A Human has no chance against an extraterrestrial. No matter what the species the ET might be. Hahaha.)
SS, I know you hate video games. But a Star Wars Battlefront 3 video game would be the greatest Star Wars game ever. (SuperShadow: With this crap idea, it's no accident you'll never work for Lucas. Hahaha.) With X-Box Live and character customization, it would sure to be a hit. Please tell me the chances of this happening with a post? (SuperShadow: You will be a multi trillionaire with complete control over the galaxy before your concept happens. In other words, absolutely no chance at all ever. Hahaha.)
Hey George, if the "secret" Star Wars and Indiana Jones plot formula brings in so many negative comments, why don't you remove it? (SuperShadow: The revelation of the Star Wars and Indiana Jones plot formula is the single most legendary aspect of SS.com. Not a single one of you had a clue about the repetitive nature of Lucas' movies until SS revealed this hidden knowledge to you. Nobody can ever match my unparalleled brain. Hahaha.)
You don't deserve all this negativity. (SuperShadow: Lucas doesn't care what critics say about what he does.) A few nights ago, I literally dreamed that I was in your movie. I really want to. This is my address *** ***** ****. Please visit. You're the best! (SuperShadow: You will not meet Lucas. You'll never be within 500 miles of Lucas. I can't stop laughing at your predicament. Hahaha.)
I've seen every Indiana Jones movie with my father from 1981! (SuperShadow: Special times. You've lived during the commercial peak of Lucas' boundless creativity.) And tomorrow, thank goodness, we will see Indiana Jones 4 together. (SuperShadow: Lucas brings the planet so much happiness. He deserves even more money for this service. Hahaha.)
Lucas movies are so wonderful to see with people you love. So Lucas, please! Do Indiana Jones 5 very soon! (SuperShadow: Don't get your hopes up. Lucas moves with the grace of a glacier. Hahaha.) With Indiana Jones in the lead role, of course! Thanks to exist, dream maker. (SuperShadow: Your comment will be forwarded to Lucas.)
Just saw Indiana Jones 4 and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. I didn't think Harrison Ford could carry it off, but he did. I would like to see Indiana Jones 5 and PLEASE, PLEASE LucasArts making an adventure video game and some new video games. (SuperShadow: Indiana Jones 5 won't enter production soon. Video games based on Indiana Jones don't sell many copies, which is why LucasArts rarely makes Indy Jones video games.)
Mr. Shadow, I don't know if you are with me on this one, but would people stop pushing Lucas to make Star Wars Episode 7, 8 and 9 because "the world is going to end." (SuperShadow: Take nothing for granted.) I'm sure everyone should know by now that it is a tradition for Lucas take time in between Star Wars movie trilogies. (SuperShadow: The wait is exactly 16 years in between each film trilogy. 1983 to 1999. 2005 to 2021. This can't be changed.)
I am also very sure the world is not going to end for quite a LONG time. Peace out, Shadow. (SuperShadow: We can't accept your thoughts on this matter because you probably couldn't build a bird house from a tin can. As a result, how would you know what tomorrow brings? Hahaha.)
Hey SuperShadow. I was thinking, what kind of Jedi, Sith or Dark Jedi would Indiana Jones be? (SuperShadow: None of the above. Indy Jones doesn't believe in nonsense. Hahaha.) I think that would be a spectacular show. Plus he'd be super lucky (not as lucky as Obi-Wan) like in his movies. Let me know. (SuperShadow: Pass on this big time.)
S.S. Will the Star Wars The Clone Wars movie teaser trailer be shown with Indiana Jones 4? That would be a good way to maximize its box office in August! (SuperShadow: No, of course not. Indiana Jones 4 and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull is distributed by Paramount Pictures in theaters. In contrast, The Clone Wars film will be distributed by Warner Brothers in cinemas. Competing movie studios don't prefer to give massive amounts of free advertising to rival film studios.)

Special Message From George Lucas:
When I first got the idea for Star Wars and Indiana Jones in the early 1970's, I never expected they would turn out to become iconic film franchises. To this day, it's beyond my comprehension of why these films work while my other ideas don't work with audiences. The primary reason why Indy Jones turned out so spectacularly is because I caught Steven Spielberg at his creative zenith between Close Encounters of the Third Kind and E.T.: The Extraterrestrial.
I will always be indebted to Steven for agreeing to direct the Indy Jones films. My critics and a few, few fans are elated that I didn't direct or write the screenplays for any of the Indy Jones films. I provide the basic story concept for each one and serve as the executive producer, but the overwhelming success of the series is due solely to the talents of Steven.
It's taken nearly two decades to get to this momentous occasion with the theatrical release of Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Some may argue we should have retired from the Indy Jones films while we were on top. This stems from a sparse number of people who had a negative reaction to the Star Wars prequel trilogy.
However, I believe the plot behind Indiana Jones 4 has great merit. It needed to be explored as a full length film. We're not doing this for the cinematic or merchandising benefits. In our hearts, we're artists, who want to continue to create films for the rest of our lives. Even though I believe Indiana Jones 4 is a thrilling film, I'm always nervous about whether the audience will actually show up.
SuperShadow expects us to shatter all box office records, but I'm not going to be that optimistic. You never can know what's going to happen. I'll be surprised no matter what happens. I want to thank all the fans for the full and continuous support you've shown me for my entire involvement with SuperShadow.com. I have many, many additional film ideas involving Star Wars and Indiana Jones that I would like to produce in the future. You're invited to join us in each of these adventures.
As always, may the Force be with you,
George Lucas
Sir SS, how many times do we need to watch Indiana Jones 4 and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull to surpass Star Wars Episode 1 The Phantom Menace at the box office? (SuperShadow: This may not be possible. The box office gross of The Phantom Menace reaches the Heavens. The Phantom Menace hit theaters nine years ago and still has a mega significant total amount of about $ 925 million U.S. dollars worldwide. It's over $ 1.2 billion U.S. dollars when adjusted for inflation for 2008. To beat this figure, Indiana Jones 4 will likely have to be the highest money earner for the entire new century. Not an easy task.)
I love the prequels like everybody else, but I get irritated by George's constant bragging about how The Phantom Menace is the biggest hit film he's ever had. Thanks for what you do, SS. (SuperShadow: The Phantom Menace is one of the most fabulous films of all time. Its mammoth box office numbers are very, very well deserved, which underscores the unlimited genius of Lucas.)
Amazing one of a kind Shadow, I don't follow the Indiana Jones movies as closely as I do the Star Wars movies. I'm more enthused about the new Star Wars The Clone Wars movie, then Indy Jones 4. I'll watch Indy 4 several times at my local theater. However, this is a Star Wars web site. You waste too much time on Indy Jones. Rage on. (SuperShadow: One of our primary jobs is to maximize profits for Lucasfilm. They're a tiny corporation with few income streams. Lucasfilm desperately needs for Indiana Jones 4 to be massively profitable. This is what Lucas expects from his best and most trusted friend.)
Wow. It's finally here. I can't believe so much time has passed since Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. I didn't even exist in 1989. (SuperShadow: For many of you, this will be the only Indiana Jones movie you'll see in cineplexes. The Second Coming might take place before Indiana Jones 5. Hahaha.) This is a once in a life time event because I don't think Indiana Jones 5 will ever happen. (SuperShadow: Given how difficult it was to complete Indiana Jones 4, it could be another generation before the next Indy Jones movie.) Enjoy life, SS. You really are the best thing to ever happen to Star Wars and Indiana Jones. (SuperShadow: Guiding the fans is what I do. Now go get in line for Indy Jones 4. Hahaha.)
Most film critics gave approval to the new Indiana Jones film. (SuperShadow: Mainstream movie critics usually give Steven Spielberg high marks for his movies.) The same can't be said for any of the prequel trilogy episodes. (SuperShadow: Lucas doesn't make films to win over the critics or cynical fans.) I'm a huge fan of GL. He's extremely talented. (SuperShadow: Understatement to the extreme. Lucas has the greatest financial net worth of any one in Hollywood including Spielberg.)
If GL never directs another film or writes another script, it will be too soon. (SuperShadow: Revenge of the Sith will probably be the last motion picture both written and directed by Lucas. You can't improve the perfection of the prequels.) It's time for our most beloved movie creator to ride off into the sunset like our heroes did in one of the Indy Jones films. (SuperShadow: Not gonna happen. The ego of Lucas will keep him in the game for the rest of his life. Multi billionaires live to be over ninety years old on average. We get to enjoy the brilliance of Lucas for at least 30 more years at a minimum.)
Keep providing us with the latest spoilers. This is the greatest web site of them all. (SuperShadow: In 1997, there were literally hundreds of web sites dedicated to Star Wars. Over the years, most of them disappeared. It's difficult to find a major web site dedicated entirely to Star Wars. It's even worse for Indiana Jones. This golden age will NEVER return.)
|
Awesome SS, the moment of truth has arrived. (SuperShadow: Nothing is inevitable.) At the midnight showing of Indy Jones 4, I will learn if Lucas, Spielberg and Harrison Ford have recaptured the magic from the classic Indiana Jones films. (SuperShadow: Indiana Jones 4 is perhaps the best in the entire series. It catches Lucas in his story telling prime. There is nothing Steven Spielberg can do to ruin the genius of Lucas.) I have faith Indy 4 is gonna rule. Thanks for being such a blessing to all fans. (SuperShadow: SS loves the fans. SS.com is the evidence of this adoration you seek. Hahaha.)
Shadow, we've waited for the debut of Indiana Jones 4 and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull for nearly 20 years. I don't expect George to equal what he did with the Star Wars prequel trilogy. It's not fair to compare an ordinary film to Star Wars. Yet I hope to make new memories, which will last the rest of my life. (SuperShadow: You will be shocked by the new Indiana Jones 4 movie. The computer animation technology of ILM allows for spectacular over the top action sequences, which were impossible to showcase with the horribly primitive special effects technology of the 1980's.)
Mega SuperShadow, I agree with the fans who don't want to replace Harrison Ford in the primary Indiana Jones role with a younger character like Mutt Williams. (SuperShadow: This is something that we shouldn't care about. It works out in the end.) The James Bond 007 movie series may be able to adapt with new leading actors, but Indiana Jones is completely different. Indy Jones is iconic in ways James Bond never will be. Convince Lucas to keep Harrison for Indiana Jones 5 and each future movie involving Indiana Jones. (SuperShadow: The fan opinions on this subject will be forwarded to Lucas.)
Everlasting one, I never thought a new Indy Jones movie would arrive. (SuperShadow: Time evaporates quickly. Hahaha.) It seems like a dream. (SuperShadow: Like my entire life. Hahaha.) You get your way as always with having Soviet Russians and multi dimensional extraterrestrials in this new Indy film. (SuperShadow: What SS wants, SS gets. That's the way it will be for the eternity of forever. Hahaha.)
Next time, the fans expect to have a greater impact on the plot even though Steven Spielberg doesn't like to borrow ideas from the fans. (SuperShadow: Unlikely to happen. Spielberg refuses to accept fan concepts for Indiana Jones. This will NEVER change.) George Lucas is the boss. Tell him to get Spielberg to do our bidding. Continue to rule the world. It belongs to you. (SuperShadow: Ironically, it would be sweet to control reality.)
After watching The Phantom Menace, Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith countless times, I'm sky high for the latest from Indiana Jones. (SuperShadow: Agreed. This is almost as exciting as the days prior to a new Star Wars movie.) You have told us for months that this will be a fantastic ride. (SuperShadow: It's superior to the previous Indiana Jones films in every facet.)
I don't expect it to surpass any of the prequels. (SuperShadow: Very true.) Such hopes are not possible. Steven Spielberg is a fine film maker, but you can't realistically consider him to be on the same level as Lucas. (SuperShadow: Lucas has no equal as movie director, writer or producer.) We appreciate what you do for the fans. We don't deserve any of it. You are extremely kind and considerate. Let Indy 4 begin already! (SuperShadow: Amazement beyond words is what you should expect. The wait for Indiana Jones 4 and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull is more than worth it.)

Indiana Jones 4 Box Office Predictions: We're going to attempt the impossible by guestimating the box office gross of Indiana Jones 4 and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull in its premiere weekend in cinemas in North America. This is highly problematic because dozens of disparate factors have to converge in perfect synergy for a movie to be financially successful. 95 % of all Hollywood films don't become massive box office earners because it is difficult to know what the people want to see in theaters at a particular point in time.
Our internal polling numbers and surveys indicate that Indy Jones 4 is the most anticipated movie since Star Wars Episode 1 The Phantom Menace. Thus far, Indiana Jones 4 has had mostly positive film critic reviews, which is something that severely eluded The Phantom Menace. These reviews will increase the box office total for Indy Jones 4. The largest opening day for a blockbuster movie is about $ 60 million U.S. dollars for Spider-man 3 in North America. Adjusting for inflation, this equals about $ 65 million U.S. dollars today.
We forecast Indy Jones 4 earning around $ 70 million U.S. dollars on the first day of release in North America including early 12 A.M. showings on Thursday, May 22. A new box office record for the initial day and single day box office earnings. This number could be $ 5 million U.S. dollars more or less depending on the following unknowns. First, the general audience may be frightened upon learning the Soviets can infiltrate our society at will and destroy our civilization at the moment of their choosing.
Not bad for a nation with one tenth the gross national product of the United States of America. You have much to fear and worry about, but we'll forget about reality for the moment. Second, we don't know how theater watchers will react to the existence of the machine eternals, who are the basis for the powers of the crystal skull. We can never doubt the wisdom of the machine gods so I expect the crowds to enthusiastically embrace the extraterrestrial presence in Indy Jones 4.
In its first four days of the opening weekend, Indiana Jones 4 will likely surpass the $ 200 million U.S. dollars plateau in North America. Another box office record. Projecting the final box office numbers for Indy Jones 4 is beyond our abilities at the moment. It rests on the intensity and level of positive word of mouth generated by the viewers of Indy Jones 4 at the cineplexes.
The ecstatic and awe struck reaction the average fan had regarding The Phantom Menace created strong box office earnings in subsequent weeks of release in theaters, which is why The Phantom Menace is the most financially lucrative episode of the Star Wars saga by an extremely large margin.
If my box office figures hold, then Indy Jones 4 is a lock for $ 400 million U.S dollars in North America, which will be the first time director Steven Spielberg has had one of his movies earn this much in its first theatrical release. In the end, the hyper wealthy Steven Spielberg, Harrison Ford and George Lucas will profit tremendously no matter what happens even though they don't need the money.
SuperShadow in the house! Just a quick favor to ask you. Please don't let Boba Fett kill Mace Windu in the next Star Wars movie trilogy. Let's be serious here, Windu is a Master Jedi, who pretty much beat Darth Sidious in a fight. You can't convince me that a regular bounty hunter is more powerful than Windu. It's like Batman killing Superman by just using his gadgets. Come on. (SuperShadow: Batman could destroy Superman with kryptonite.)
I agree that the fight scene should be spectacular with Windu winning in the end. Windu is a special Jedi because the will of the Force resides with him. That is how Windu was able to face Darth Sidious with out being harmed (before Anakin's interference) and remain hidden for decades without being sensed by the dark side.
Windu dying in the next movie trilogy is fine, but not at the hands of some old bounty hunter that didn't even have a big role in the originals to begin with. I know Lucas and yourself like to give the fans what they want, but this is something that cannot happen. Somebody that has no Force abilities should never beat a Master Jedi in a one on one combat.
Even if the Jedi is ancient. Please score the winning run of the big game and get back to us on this issue. (SuperShadow: No offense intended, but it's difficult to value the opinion of someone who has never accomplished anything in life. We must always accept the vision of Lucas. Star Wars exists solely because of the unlimited genius of Lucas. It didn't create itself.)
My man Shadow, do you think GL can pick up the pace of creating the Star Wars Episode 7, 8 and 9 films since the world is going to end in four years? (SuperShadow: If the Mayans could see the future, why do they no longer exist? Nonsense will always be imaginary. 21 December 2012 is NOT special. This may be difficult to accept, but the world continues perpetually regardless of the endless numbers of doomsday soothsayers.)
PLEASE NOT INDIANA JONES 5 with another LEAD ACTOR! I will love to see another Indiana Jones movie trilogy with HARRISON FORD in the lead role with Indy Jones 4 like the first chapter. I can see the business needs to have Shia Labeouf (Mutt Williams in Indy Jones 4) for new generations and teens targeted like sidekick of INDIANA JONES, but please if Lucas, Spielberg and overall Ford, will do other Indiana Jones movies, please let old Indy, and old astonishing FORD, to be the lead of it! (SuperShadow: Lucas is an unparalled mind with no equal. We will do as he commands.)
Ford is Indy and the Indy movie series is Ford, without him in the lead, the dream will be destroyed! After two more Indy movies with Ford in the lead, I can see Shia in the lead of a spin off series Mutt Williams and his adventures, but let the Indiana Jones movie series continue with Ford! Please Lucas, let Ford do two more movies, perhaps back to back about Atlantis. (SuperShadow: Hahaha. There will NEVER be an Indiana Jones motion picture involving the absurd and ridiculous Atlantis in the plot. Go write some fan fiction that nobody will ever read. Hahaha.)
Fans will be very, very happy and then move in the spin off direction with Shia in the lead in the Mutt Williams movie series. I can see an Excalibur quest for him because he's a swordsman. (SuperShadow: Give me a break, please. This is not Monty Python. There will be no King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table silliness in future Indiana Jones films.) Please let Indy/Ford in the lead! And do Atlantis plot for the next one, please! (SuperShadow: We do not take orders from Humans as revealed in the Sontaran Stratagem.)
Shadow, on Mace Windu's return in the sequels, will he have a gold plated, robotic arm or just a natural looking replacement arm? Thanks. (SuperShadow: This is basic knowledge available to all fans. By the time of Star Wars Episode 7, medical technology has advanced to the point where individuals have flesh and blood clone arms and legs for replacement body parts. Mace Windu is completely Human with no cybernetic enhancements.)
What's the point really to choose how the Star Wars Episode 7 movie will go? It's more fun to watch it later with less knowing, but knowledge that you have been there at the movie creation. That's my opinion. (SuperShadow: Very, very thankfully, you have no control over the beloved epic saga. Lucas surprises the fans constantly with mega brilliance as we all witnessed with the Star Wars Episode 7 Choose Your Destiny of Fate script revelation. Start bowing before Lucas immediately. Hahaha.)

Hello SuperShadow, awesome web site. I was wondering if you can shed any light on the rumors regarding a new Star Wars based massive multi player online video game? (SuperShadow: We don't follow spoilers about the Star Wars video games because so few fans show an interest in the expanded universe of novels, comic books and video games.)
A lot of us are praying every night that it will happen, after some disappointment with the Star Wars Galaxies video game. (SuperShadow: Scientific study has proven that prayer works. If enough of you pray, your wishes will materialize.)
There are rumors that it will launch with or shortly after the live action Star Wars TV show debut? Keep up the good work. (SuperShadow: Unfortunately, you're the only one who seems to care.)
SS, will Lucas make any more computer animated movies of Star Wars? (SuperShadow: Yeah, if the new Clone Wars movie is profitable in theaters this August. It depends entirely on how well the fans embrace this next venture.)
What was the Jedi High Council's job? (SuperShadow: With ten thousand Jedi at the beginning of The Phantom Menace, you obviously need a hierarchy who make all the key decisions on what the members will be doing. Kaja Sinis established the Jedi Council to guide the actions of the Jedi around the galaxy.)
Just curious when we will see the first teaser trailer of Star Wars Episode 7? Thank you so much! (SuperShadow: Around November 2020 in theaters. We have much to look forward to. Each day is greater than the previous one. We're entering a golden age for Star Wars in the form of movies and TV series.)

Mega ingenious Shadow. You have finally surpassed the technological singularity and entered the realm of the majestic eternals. Star Wars Episode 7 Choose Your Destiny of Fate is the most exciting and thought provoking Star Wars story of all time. (SuperShadow: It's the most important achievement related to Star Wars thus far.)
George has really shown how much he adores the fans for giving the fans the perfect gift. Tell George we love him dearly. Take care. (SuperShadow: Lucas is thrilled by the unrivaled cheers and praise he is receiving for the updated Star Wars Episode 7 plot script summary.)
Great SS and GL, Star Wars 7 is awesome! One thing only. If you are going to kill Boba Fett or Mace Windu (I prefer to kill Windu), you should give them sometime on screen, not kill them immediately. Keep the good job! (SuperShadow: The Choose Your Destiny of Fate is NOT the complete script. It's a basic outline. The screenplay will give several minutes of important scenes involving Boba Fett and Mace Windu. The new Episode 7 synopsis is meant to be a quick read, which gives you only a brief hint at what Episode 7 will be like.)
When Darth Bane shows up, he says exactly what the fans expect him to say. Let's give Darth Bane a LOT more character. And emotional depth. And some really cool traveling companions. (SuperShadow: Absolutely fabulous. This will happen.) If George Lucas spends a lot of time making sure his girlfriends are happy, why shouldn't Darth Bane travel with a variety of sentient animals who are his close friends in the way that Han Solo and Chewbacca were friends. (SuperShadow: Yeah, Bane would have an entourage of beautiful female species from around the galaxy.) Showing that Darth Bane appreciates the friendship of other species might help. (SuperShadow: Fantastic ideas. Bravo to ya.)
The Choose Your Destiny of Fate plot choices are spectacular to the max. It's gotta be the most imaginative concept I've ever seen. If the Star Wars novels and comic books of the expanded universe would utilize this strategy, then they would sell millions of copies and create massive U.S. dollars for Lucas. Thanks for the dedication to the fandom. SS rocks. (SuperShadow: The adventure never ceases. We have earned our iconic status through persistent creative energy and tireless acceptance of fan ideas.)
Greetings, oh Great One. My question for you is: 4 Jedi Masters stroll into the Emperor's chambers, but only one lives past the first 10 seconds of the fight? C'mon, this really makes the Jedi Order look pathetic to get taken out that easy. Did they get their degree from some online store? (SuperShadow: Remember that Darth Sidious is the most powerful Sith Lord ever with the kyber crystal, which clouds the entire light side of the Force thereby weakening every Jedi including the top Jedi Masters. Mace Windu had no way of knowing he needed to take several dozen Jedi Masters to confront Sidious to even hope of capturing Sidious.)
I think that you should make Star Wars vs. Star Trek. (SuperShadow: Star Trek isn't popular enough for cross over collectibles and products with Star Wars. The merchandising of Star Trek generates meager revenues. Star Trek is at an all time low in fan interest due to the cancellation of the Star Trek Enterprise TV show and the dismal box office grosses of the most recent Star Trek movies.)
George Lucas is a deity worthy of intense worship. I can't stop reading this latest edition of Star Wars Episode 7. I wish LucasArts could create a photo realistic video game where you could control the story similar to Choose Your Destiny of Fate. I don't mean the same kind of Star Wars video game with constant fighting and battles. I mean one where it's just like the Star Wars films, but allows you to alter the plot direction based on your decisions.
Thanks for making my day, week and year. SS is what we all deserve. Long live the unstoppable SS. (SuperShadow: True photo realism in video games is still a decade or more in the future. The X-Box 360 and PlayStation 3 don't have sufficient computer graphics sophistication to produce video games, which look just like Hollywood blockbuster movies.)
When will the Anti-Christ become known openly to the world? (SuperShadow: Never. The word "Anti-Christ" doesn't appear in the Book of Revelation from the Holy Bible. Likewise, the word "rapture" is a made up word, which is not in the Holy Bible. Mainstream Biblical prophecy interpretations are completely wrong. There will be no single Anti-Christ, who is a genius at all things powered by Lucifer.
The anti-christs are already amongst us as the New Testament has warned. They are those who are opposed to Jesus. Millions of these anti-christs roam the planet seeking who they may devour. Adherents to end times beliefs are in for an extremely very, very massively long wait. No one alive today will exist to see the final moments of history and time itself.)
|
Wow! Amazing beyond words. That's my reaction to the Star Wars Episode 7 Choose Your Destiny of Fate. What took so long? (SuperShadow: Surprising the fans in ways you can't expect is what Lucas does best.) This is what we've been waiting for since 1977. You have done well, SS. Thanks for giving the fans the only insider connection to George Lucas. It's appreciated profusely. (SuperShadow: Our goal is to promote the vision of Lucas. We are appreciative that Lucas acknowledges how important we are.)
SS, I can't wait until May 2021 for Star Wars Episode 7. This new plot synopsis by George is unfathomable. The master finally reveals the most significant secrets about Star Wars. (SuperShadow: Lucas wanted to provide official history to many open questions as a reward to the fans for making Star Wars such a winner in every merchandising category.)
Invent a time machine so we can watch Episode 7 today. SS really is the prime Star Wars guru in history. Keep the spoilers flowing. (SuperShadow: SS.com is the ONLY avenue for Star Wars Episode 7 info. That's why we're world famous. Hahaha.)
All powerful Shadow, after reading the new Episode 7 synopsis, I can understand why Star Wars Episode 7 is the most anticipated movie in the existence of cinema. (SuperShadow: Episode 7 proves without question that Lucas has not yet peaked creatively. You can't believe what awaits you in the forthcoming Star Wars TV shows. The new Clone Wars movie is spectacular above the classic trilogy and is about 1 % as mystifying as the prequels.)
Lucas is a genius for allowing the fans to have such an important impact on the saga. Episode 7 will surely be the most successful Star Wars movie at the box office. Glory be to Shadow. (SuperShadow: There is no doubt that Episode 7 will be by far the most profitable Star Wars film to date. Lucasfilm will ride the Episode 7 revenues for decades.)
Mesmerizing is the only way to describe Choose Your Destiny of Fate. GL proves why he is the wealthiest film maker in Hollywood. Being able to control the plot to Episode 7 is something we've never even thought about before. It is inescapably brilliant on the level of the angelic hosts. This is the best web site ever. We owe everything to SS. (SuperShadow: The fan response to the new Episode 7 plot script is the most positive since we posted the screenplay to Star Wars Episode 1 The Phantom Menace. Lucas has awe inspiring plans for the sci fi saga. The future is always superior to the past.)
