+Random Terrain Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 Take a look at this and wonder what things might have been like: archive.org/stream/Videogaming_Illustrated_1983-02_Ion_International_US#page/n28/mode/1upIndented text from the Videogaming Illustrated article linked to above: Director Richard Marquand's Revenge of the Jedi will be coming to theaters nationwide in May of 1983, concluding the trilogy of the rebel fight against the Empire. The fourth film, for May of 1986, will jump backward in time, detailing the rise of the Empire. The fifth and sixth films, for 1989 and 1992, will wrap up that storyline, after which 1995's entry will pick up where Revenge of the Jedi left off. That Star Wars saga will conclude with films in 1999 and 2002. Grand scenarist Lucas assures us that the only characters which will be featured in all nine films are the two robots. A quarter-century of Star Wars films! By that time, no doubt we really will be warring in space. If we aren't, then we surely will be enjoying—in some form or another—dozens of Star Wars videogames which Parker Brothers will have released. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Phruby Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 Everything is correct there except the dates and more Parker Brothers video games. Maybe we would have seen the Parker Brother's Hulk game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe we would have seen the Parker Brother's Hulk game. But what would have happened if the movies were made on that schedule and grand scenarist Lucas never got his brains sucked out by shape-shifting reptilian aliens from another dimension? youtube.com/watch?v=ykmZp5cgbkU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ykmZp5cgbkU Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HammR25 Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 I'm pretty sure it means Jar Jar Binks wouldn't have been technically possible unless they could have gotten someone to agree to walking around in a goofy suit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fiddlepaddle Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 By the time the Power Of The Market began influencing the franchise during production of Empire Strikes Back, Disneyfication was assured. No intellectual property owner can resist the Power Of The Market. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
