Should Telltale make star wars episode 7, 8, & 9 ?

edited November 2011 in General Chat
you guys think they should make these episodes as adventurer games, or should another company do it, it would be a lot more experience for telltale to at least try to do, let them see if they can manage creating something like this, too continue on with the starwars saga, george lucas sort of gave up, but if an adventurer game like that managed in here, yeah it would be awesome, but some of the parts would turn out to be shooter uppers, since how you think that would be boring having the whole game just a movie and push buttons! anyone else has an opinion know please do:D

    it would be an experience for telltale, too actually test their abillities to something like this, every company should deserve something challenging to create including telltale, so i agree,l definitly say yes

    Even if LucasArts could be persuaded to release their hold on Star Wars, I would be opposed to this. After the Star Wars prequels, I would be far more open to a completely original story, tailored to an adventure game style of play than an unmade movie story manhandled into something that roughly resembles a game. Which is what it would probably turn out to be.

    The only good addition to the Star Wars canon was the Thrawn trilogy.

    Considering that LucasArts don't seem to be working with Telltale on Monkey Island any more I doubt they'd give them their biggest franchise. And as somebody was saying in another thread, seeing as Star Wars is considered one of the biggest reasons adventure games died the first time it would be ironic if Telltale worked on a Star Wars game of their own.

    Also, this.

    YES! YES! YES! A THOUSAND TIMES, YES! I'd love to see Telltale make yet another good old fashioned Monkey Island style Star Wars graphic adventure, so why not after Jedi? I'd also like Telltale do a brand new point and click Indiana Jones graphic adventure game in the grand old tradition of Fate Of Atlantis/Last Crusade.

    I'd rather see Traveler's Tales do it

    I am all for it... in about 60 years... I will surely be dead and I will be beyond able to care about it.

    I'm beyond able to care, right now. The prequels killed any respect for the franchise I had. I came to this realisation a couple years ago when I read a summary of the comics cannon and... I just didn't care. I no longer felt heartbroken, or betrayed. It was just a thought of "okay, they did that....what else can I waste time looking up". I'll admit I enjoyed the Force games. Couldn't care less about the story, frying shit with lightening was just awesome.

    Note, this is just to the idea of 7,8, &9 in general.

    I can sometimes enjoy the prequels. Mostly by ignoring most of The Phantom Menace and half of Attack of the Clones. Enjoying the Clone Wars series. Enjoyed the Force Unleashed games. But the books and comics have done enough for post-Return of the Jedi. It's bad enough that the movies contradict the Expanded Universe, we don't need more games to screw it up too.

    However, if TellTale were to do it...I don't think they could screw it up any more than Lucas already has.

    Many of the books post-ROTJ are well-written and have good stories, but the problem is most of them only have the information from the original trilogy to go on, so of course they don't seem as good now.

    It was only starting with Legacy of the Force that Episode III had been released and the authors had the whole picture, and LotF and Fate of the Jedi are amazing novels.

    The novels taking place in the first 20 years after ROTJ should have been written with all the information from the prequels, if they had they would have been extremely good and not so contradictory.

    Oh hell no. Irrate star wars fanboys are just about managable in small doses but having the forum swarm with them, because Yoda is the wrong shade of green would be unbearable I think. Yes, I know Yoda is dead, but then so is jesus.

    No.

    The Star Wars series is done. It doesn't need more games, it needs leaving alone so we can forget about the crap that has surrounded the series and remember the original trilogy as it was.

    Every single thing that is added to the franchise by this point is just rubbing salt into the wound caused by the prequel trilogy. You could get the greatest writers in the world, or the most amazing directors, or the best producers, and they could do nothing to stop the series being stupid. George Lucas has single-handedly destroyed the franchise and shows no signs of stopping.

    The series has no future, and as good as Telltale can be, no-one can bring dignity and self-respect back to the franchise. It needs to be left alone. They need to stop making games and CGI cartoons and comics and books and Lego whatever. They need to let it die.

    If they stopped, right now, and moved onto something else, then maybe in 10 years we can look back and remember the good stuff. The original trilogy. The KotOR games. The Timothy Zahn books. Etc. But for the good to be remembered, they need to stop making shit and let us focus on it.

    But they won't. They'll keep making more. It'll keep going, and they'll never let it die. And it desperately, desperately needs to.

    No. No, no, no, no, no.

    The whole reason Telltale was founded in the first place is because a bunch of ex-LucasArts employees got upset when the company cancelled Sam and Max: Freelance Police. Why did LucasArts do that? Because the best point-and-click adventure game ever wouldn't sell as much as an average action game (especially if you slap the Star Wars logo on it).

    Telltale already seems to be starting a scary decline. BttF and Jurassic Park were both cases of deliberately making a subpar game and expecting the big pre-existing name attached to sell itself. If they made a Star Wars game, they'll have officially turned into everything they originally promised not to be.
    Also, I personally don't think Star Wars was ever good. :p

    well why not have lucas arts make the series than, if george lucas gave up on filming it then at least they can do is make the games for it, but having conversations and romance for the 7th episode, there isn't a whole lot of action,

    My last post still stands.

    And don't think I'm just a Star Wars hater. My name is Darth Marsden, for pity's sake. I just know when to draw the line and say 'enough'. That time was early in the 2000s.
