I just want to know your opinions, personally I think so, because they've already explained the gaps between the first three and last three films, aswell as between the second and the first.
The ideas have become all the same, use the same force powers to save a chancellor or damsel in distress. Battle with the dark side, though I must say The Force Unleashed did catch my eye for a while, because you could play an unknown character and start off at the dark side and move to the light, instead of vice versa. I am not talking about Star Wars Galaxies because that gives you choice. I'm talking about the console games where everybody has to play as the same person. Stop me if I'm wrong here please?

Edit: They are getting very tiring.

Star Wars Battlefront still my favorite...

Rogue Leader is still the best because you get to play through good bits of the good films.

I've enjoyed every Star Wars game that I have played. I think it comes down to how big of fan you are.

well i think he should continue with the games, but now with only little no name games, nothing involving the character only side stories like KNight of the old republic, just any thing to keep him away from making any more star wars movis

I dunno, I am personally a huge fan of Star Wars.
I read the books, play the games, watch the movies on my iPod.
I personally think that there is so much room out there for video games.
My favorite one was Galactic Battlegrounds, because you could make no sense and kill other Republic players. A strategy game, it was priceless, and I bought it three times since I kept losing my discs.
They could make so much more room, because there were maybe 50 years described after the end of the sixth movie. I want to see a video game with none of the trademark characters, though. I'm sick of Darth Vader. Let's get the Yuuhaven-Vong or whatever they're called in there with Anakin Solo. That, would be an intense video game. [Especially if they allowed to play both sides]

Edit: I definately agree the movies are stupid. Unless they had where Chewbacca dies. Than I'd be okay with it. But they can't have Luke in it, so Mark Hamil fucked Lucas over.

KOTOR, rougue leader, and battlefront are great examples of what they could be doing with the IP. I personally think devs should be doing this instead of Movie games.

I don't think he has gone too far. Just made some poor decisions as of late. The team behind SWFU was a joke. Such potential was just wasted on a half finished game. The whole franchise is ripe with awesome game ideas. Just give a good team some time and let the games flow.

They were meant to make another few movies, I think I saw the scripts on the internet... Though I'm not sure they were authentic, but it would have been good to see how they would have turned out.

The scripts that were leaked were just stuff from books some dick pitched to Lucas.
Lucas said no,
instead he made the Star Wars: The Clone Wars cartoon series to fill in the gaps instead of another movie.
I still prefer the cartoons than Episode II and III

Episode three was rather angsty haha.
But I really wouldn't mind a few more star wars films.
it'll take me back to the day when i was younger and went to see the old films, innocent childhood. Haha.

George Lucas has defintely gone too far with Star Wars movies.

Games, not so much.

Plus, I don't think he really has too much input in games like Republic Commando or Battlefront anyway.

There's been some horrid games, some great games, and some mediocre games. Just like the game industry in general.

Technically it would be revenge, as Lucas fucked Hamil's entire film career by giving Ford preferential treatment.

What I really love about the Star Wars universe, is how 3rd parties writers can add so much to expand the universe, add so much, to make even background characters like Bobba Fett become much more cooler than he would have been normally.

Like the poster above said, George Lucas doesn't have anything to do with the video games (Jedi Knight Series is still my favorite, followed by Kot0r).

The only real problem are the 'purists' of Star Wars, who hated the new trilogy, which to be honest, was a decent pre-quel and extremely well executed. Yes, Jar Jar was completely unnecessary, but hey, so were the ewoks in a way.

The Force Unleased, might have been a mediocre game, but can you say the same for Kot0R, Jedi Knights, Republic Commando and even Battlefront (3 is on the way =D)? I don't believe you can, I certainly hope to see more games in the SW universe, hopefully, even better strategy games in the long run.

Ah, that would be true.

cainx10a:
even better strategy games in the long run.

Definately agree with strategy games.
I love their strategy games they've come out with.

I dont understand the hate for the first three films, i mean they are not bad, and certainly better than mark hamil jumpin around in pyjamas to very bad special effects.

Most people hate the films because of very stupid stuff.
I just really don't like the actor for Anakin.
But I do still like them.
For the 70's though,
they did an amazing job of A new Hope.

I like the first three films too, but theyre certainly no material to fund a giant universe on.

It was never just the first thee films. If you look at George Lucas' work, he wrote most of the storyline way before the movies even came out. People who fell in love with the series expanded, creating the universe, developing different aspects.

Demand of more more more funded itself to create the universe, George Lucas had very little control other than how he wanted things to look, feel, and flow in the games.

He proposed giving different colours to the commandoes.

Veeeery significant.

He can always go lower.

Not to get all "Spaced Star Wars Geek" on you, but the Ewoks were used to convey (the admittedly corny) message that the smallest people could defeat the largest enemies.

Jar Jar Binks was used to....uhm...he was just stupid. Just stupid.

To quote Spaced,
"Jar-Jar makes the Ewoks look like fucking Shaft!"

Force Unleashed fit and was a great game, things wrong with it
1. Need to be M need more gore
2. Needs to have 2-3 more hours of content
3. Everbody deserves the vs. mode

I think The Force Unleashed was a great addition to the universe, but I have to agree with an earlier poster that the Battlefront line was some of the better games as was Shadows of the Empire on the N64.

minoes:

Yes he can. And that is not a good thing by any stretch of the imagination.

Video games are a really great way to fuck up a franchise like Star Wars, second only to novelizations, and a lot of these games have done exactly that. I've played a lot of star wars games, and while a lot of them have been great, they've filled in and justified far too much and it's hampered my enjoyment of the franchise. In my opinion, you really have to separate the original trilogy from everything else that ever came after it.

Basically, there are some great games, and there are some awful games, but none of them are really Star Wars to me.

Depends. The expanded universe is a little ridiculous (though not completely the fault of Lucas). I'm all for any Star Wars game that is decent. Why not?
