One problem, which order should I make him watch the movies?
Are we supposed to start off with A New Hope, aka the original Star Wars, or does Lucas think it's a good idea to watch Episode I first, then 2 and 3 and 4?

Hmmm... There really oughta be a clear disclaimer about this sorta thing on Starwars.com but guess not.

Although the last three probably won't be made.

probably?!?! No no no. The last three will never be made. As Lucas spoke that after he will make 3rd one then that's it. No more. Nothing. Zero. Boom!

Actually, the way to do it is to do it on NewYears, start with the India Jones, and then do Star Wars in the order of their release: 4,5,6,1 ... Then, of course watch Monty Python and the Search for the Holy Grail. The great end, starting at 12:05 is either Fragging on some LAN game (read Quake III) or watch MIB (if your not sick of movies yet.)

Ummmm... I think this pretty much displays my lack of "norm" life, even on "amature night."

other movies that make great New Years Film Fests:
1.) All the Star Trek films
2.) MIB, Jurasic Park, Independence Day, Aliens
3.) All the Aliens moves
4.) The Sci-fi channels annual Twilight Zone marathon
5.) Any and all of the great classic Horror (Frankenstien, Dracula, Birde of Frank., Night of the Living Dead, Godzilla, Attack of the Killer Tomatoes and while it's not so classic Swamp Thing)

Must... resist... temptation...

After all, the quality is degrading already.

Ok, Lucas has already changed a few things in 1 and 2, unless he springs a huge surprise on us. In the books, Queen Amidala is NOT Luke and Leia's mother so we will have to see how that turns out.

You guys are arguing about which order to watch the Star Wars movies in. uh... that's funny, right?

I also find Unix is beginning to make sense... and then I stepped back a bit... and then SQL, and then C, but first there was ADA. help me.

Actually, I doubt that's an issue. He did it to the Daly books when he made Empire Strikes back. He could do it again.

Besides, those books SUCK. I want to see him make movies that directly contradict them so that I can laugh at all the fanboy afficianados of those terribly written pieces of poo.

Actually, my further remark is that I don't think most fans would care. What it would do is create an entirely new line of books to come out that meet the new time line.

And what do you mean by "agreed upon?" My understanding is that LucasFilm makes sure there isn't anything TOO whack (which they don't even do a good job of) but not that Lucas ever says "yeah, that's the way it will be."

"In his head, Lucas sees the nine films as a whole. He can't wait for the next generation of children to watch them in the right sequence. He gets enormously animated about it. "It'll be a very different experience, because when Darth Vader walks into that spaceship with the princess, they're going to think, 'Oh my God, that's Anakin!' and they're gonna see Luke and think, 'Oh my God, that's his son!' And rather than a surprise when he says, 'I am your father,' it'll be like, 'Oh my God, finally he's told him!""
