You know, I always did think I'd make a cool comic book superhero.

[shinygreenjesus]

I dunno, I'm probably cooler.

[owwmyspine]

But you're older, man! I'd relate to young people.

Or something.

Young people that have sentient armor. There's a market out there somewhere.

[shinygreenjesus]

Hey, I'm not that old, geez. Just. Mostly old. And I was only just out of college when I started in this business...

But yeah, sure. You can relate to the teenage crowd.

Though if we wanted to bring in women we'd probably have to make you a vampire.

[owwmyspine]

Hey, come on. Glowing does not denote sparkling, okay? And if it did, you'd be sparkling it up, too, you know! Just how much of this'll be made up bullcrap anyway, dude?

[shinygreenjesus]

Sorry, sorry, I was mostly kidding, to tell the truth. Just teasing you. To tell the truth? I want this to be as accurate as we can. I mean, obvious embellishments for Rule of Cool and all that, but mostly true to life.

And yes, you're right, you would make a kickass superhero, especially for the teen crowd.

[owwmyspine]

So, like--
Yes to the giant bug monster sitting on me, but no to the stupid sounds that came with it.

I can live with that, I think.

But what about the stuff we did lose? Like, all those movies or books. I mean, I don't know Star Wars word for word (but I bet that Weasel guy does), but why not try and remake those? Obvious embellishments for Rule of Cool implied, of course. And no Jar Jar.

Orrr...do the companies that made them still remember making them and are hella mad about losing their content?

[shinygreenjesus]

Exactly.

They do remember making them, but here's my thought. If the first comic book is successful, like... we could ask Obi-Wan and the rest if they'd be OK with Lucasfilm actually making a 'documentary' about them, and have them write the script. Or at least, the story behind it. And someone who isn't George direct them.

And that way we will have something 900x better than the prequels.

Heck, we could have Obi-Wan play Obi-Wan if he's up for it. And I think the companies would be pretty jazzed about having their bajillion dollar properties back. It's just a question of if doing it THAT way would get around the Porter's weird... I dunno, fear of having us go OHGOD WE ARE FROM COMIC BOOKS or whatever

[owwmyspine]

Now you're starting to fly over my head into "legal crap that makes sense kind of if I tilt my head to the side and squint" territory. Can't help you there--but hey. Lawyers we got! At least the one guy, but I don't know how into this he'd be. And I don't know if this is Nick's old branch of lawyering or not...

And doesn't that all mean we're just kind of in a race against those businesses to make that stuff? Like, to re-copyright it and all. 'Cause they do remember them being made and stuff. I mean, I don't think Lucas needs those old actors anymore. He'd just remake it all in CGI anyway. Half of them already were...So. Yeah. Ow, my brain.

[shinygreenjesus]

... ow, my brain.

This is way more complicated than I thought. And I totally hear you on the legal thing, this is why I usually try to avoid it.

...

Still, this is a noble cause and we must brave the vicious sharks and persevere for the sake of having our DVDs back.

And yeah any Star Wars we made would have to be better. We have superheroes, we don't need CGI.

[owwmyspine]

So, really, all this is saying to me is to finish my lightsaber. This is kind of like that movie Be Kind, Rewind or something, you know? Just...probably a lot better and not with Jack Black. And also not movies. Unless we could do that, too, but.

[shinygreenjesus]

... you have a lightsaber.

Oh my god I want one.

Ahaha, we're totally cooler than Jack Black.

And we make the comics first and THEN see if we can get a sweet movie deal. Or if somebody shows up with magical movie making powers. Or a filmmaker.

... I really hope Michael Bay doesn't get ported in with superpowers.

[owwmyspine]

Correction: I have lightsaber blueprints. Some of this stuff isn't exactly chilling out on Earth, so apparently I kind of have to...roadtrip across the galaxy and hope planet so-and-so exists.

Dude, what are you saying? You totally want a Michael Bay with superpowers. Explosions may happen, but the good guys are guaranteed to win. We'll just have to work on the whole "heroic sacrifice" bit. That's nothing a little brainwashing can't cure, right?

[shinygreenjesus]

... or get one of the crazy superscientists that lives here to help you make it. But that said, I'm always up for galactic road trips if you want a wingmate.

... okay, that's a pretty good point. And then everyone could sleep with Megan Fox.

...

Dear Miss Porter: Please bring us a pony, a plastic rocket, and Michael Bay.
