I like SLJ but he’s a million years old and it’ll be sad to see him “seamlessly” replaced with a CG cartoon for action sequences. He can barely go above a slow walk in that last SHAFT movie. It’ll just be embarrassing (like most Disney Star Wars) when we have to pretend this old dude can suddenly flip out.

I guess he could be a calm dude threatening with silent violence and an occasionally booming voice, that might be in the wheelhouse of current Star Wars. But I hope it's just plain Jackson if that happens, no robot limbs or half-cyborg head or whatever. Basically Count Dooku 2.0.

I'd rather he offer his voice to an animated series instead, so he could go all-out in a story set before/during/after the Clone Wars

I'm picturing him just walking real slow and everyone dumb enough to get in lightsaber range just falls to pieces in a purple blur.

Yeah this.

Whatever dumb reason they have for bringing Mace Windu back, and of course they will, they'll need to have a satisfying reason for 'why didn't Mace do anything the last 20+ years'.

They'll do that, and it won't be satisfying at all. And we'll see some sick flips.

I'd love a Mace Windu story. They could just have old man Windu as a very bitter worn-down half-cyborg lone samurai type that's purely out for revenge. Show how hosed up he is and how his previously delicate balance between Jedi & Sith has given way to much stronger Sith leanings and he's purely out for revenge. Have him after Sheev after discovering Anakin disappeared which leads to him boarding a Destroyer slaughtering everyone (like Luke in that one Mandalorian episode where he looks like Vader) and maybe using some Sith powers to show how far gone he is and Sheev genuinely being terrified of him because Windu pretty much had him beat last time. Climax is him getting to Sheev's throne room and meeting Vader for the first time and just having a flashy yet brutal fight with Windu fighting Vader & Sheev which isn't easy for them, but in the end Vader actually wins (he's jobbed so hard for so long he needs a good win and him against a Windu that's given in to the dark side with all his rage and bitterness would be apt imo) so we actually get something that shows just how powerful he really is and also get to see Windu loving poo poo up as well. Doesn't need to be a TV show, just make it a movie where we get to enjoy the most powerful force users going batshit for a while.

I'm not a hardcore fan and just like the fun cool stuff when it comes to Star Wars so this might be everyone's worst nightmare idk but I think it would be a fun movie v:shobon:v

Sometimes Lucas would even use Spielberg to trick the team into exploring his more out-there ideas. He found that the artists might push back against a suggestion if it came from him, but would eagerly accept the exact same idea if he said it came from Spielberg.

This needs to be made common knowledge to erase the insanely lazy RLM theory that Lucas surrounded himself with “yes men”

Each city level he falls closer to his death is marked by flashbacks to previous eras of his life, during which he is forced to relive all the bad decisions of a lifetime that led to this defenestration

His flashbacks need to be of his lifetime of defenestration where he pieces clues as to why he got out similar situations in the past. And how every time trusting a dumb Jedi youth always lead to defenestration

They could also use the series to flesh out other members of the council, sorta like they're doing with the upcoming Jedi Council novel: "The Living Force"

Too exciting, you need to be pitching at more of an 'Ahsoka' level. Maybe he can hail the cab in a feature film instead.

Thanks to the power of prequels, you don't even have to bring people back from the dead to bring them back. Just say that your story happened while Mace was out getting a coffee during two scenes in AotC or whatever.
