I don't agree with you that this is not the focus.

I agree with your disagreement. Lucas has flat-out said that the redemption of Anakin Skywalker is the focus of 4-6.

 

[John Crichton]

I do believe that Anakin/Vader is one of the major characters in 4-6, however he is not the main character in any of them. That goes to Luke, Han and Leia. The story is Anakin's but 4-6 is about Luke's adventure as opposed to 1-3 where it is Anakin's adventure. The story, in 4-6, revolves around and involves Vader but does not focus on him as much as it does the main characters.

The whole movie franchise is essentially the rise, fall and redemption (by his son) of Anakin Skywalker. It is also about Palpatine's rise to power and the fall of the Jedi, which is essentially the ultimate revenge of the Sith. So, the story is about Anakin but doesn't always include Anakin.

The biggest problem will be getting Harrison Ford to do it, he doesn't work cheap, not to mention he's really getting old (62 in July),

Yeah, but all Lucas needs is his voice. The rest can be cgi. Ditto anyone else who's "too old" for episodes 7-9.

A great plot would be that Luke, like his father, fails and falls to the dark side. Then Wickett the Ewok Jedi must form a new order, based on the Ewok philosophy, and defeat the new Dark Lord. An army of Ewok Jedi...man that would be too cool!

and what made Luke fall was that he created something, like a ring...yeah! a ring! and it held all the Jedi mind tricks like invisibility and all and Wickett the Ewok Jedi has to take it back to the sun Luke used to create it and toss it back in! Wow, that would be so cool!

And afterwards they could restore the Empire that was lost soo long ago... ahhh.




What Lucas needs to do is find more movies made in the far east and mix the plots together so we don't have to suffer anymore medicloran foolishness.

A different thought occured to me - hmmm, medicloran... Matrix.... hmmmm......

And have an Ewok party!

Coatee cha tu goo - Yub nub!

Well that's nice. Too bad it isn't remotely close to the truth.

Wait - I'm not sure who you're calling a liar, Whisperfoot or Lucas?

Are you saying "Lucas never said that", or "Anakin's redemption isn't the focus, regardless of what Lucas said"?

-Hyp.

That is riduculous.

The latter, most assuredly. The focus of the original trilogy was Luke and his quest to overcome the evil of the Empire through becoming a Jedi. A third grader could tell you that, regardless of Lucas' revisionism and current fetish for the character of Anakin.

Considering half the original trilogy is a complete ripoff of LOTR (though mostly very well done), I see no need to encourage Lucas further in that regard.

What Lucas needs to do is find more movies made in the far east and mix the plots together so we don't have to suffer anymore medicloran foolishness.

The "midichlorian foolishness" appears to have largely been the exact result of mixing plots from eastern films. Note how the 3D "chart" measuring the level of midichlorians in Anakin's blood is an exact replica of the measuring device with which the scientist monitors Tetsuo in "Akira."
