[COMPLETED]Star Wars Original Trilogy Steelbook (UK)

[schrute farms]

I ordered a SW OT Steelbook from Amazon.UK and the one I received was "damaged", so I requested a replacement and they let me keep the defective one. I figured I could give back to the HDN community. Please keep in mind that this steel is sealed and unopened, but I would not consider it MINT. It will be free however, and will only cost you actual shipping charges via carrier of your choice.

WINNER CHOSEN: Jaws Finatic!!!

MODS: This is my first give-away, so if I've forgotten anything, please feel free to tell me or change this thread.

Thanks for the giveaway. I think an interesting storyline would be the Legacy of the Force series where the antagonist is Jacen Solo who joins the dark side and becomes Darth Caedus similar to Anakin Skywalker.

 

[tono06]

i think this is the second best ever give away! thank you for that! the best ever i won it! the French Wolverine!....i just wanted to say thanks as i have this one...

Han & Lea's grandson will become the most powerful sith ever and he will recruit an army of evil jedi's. Meanwhile Luke's offspring will be Leader of the Republic and will have to outwit his cousin to be victorious. Should be epic.

 

[WKRP]

Luke will be older (I assume he was still around after Return of the Jedi), Yoda will be real old (but something tells me he got killed). I tell ya, it's been too long since I've seen these originally and think I missed one of the three, so I'd like to win. I heard the covers were on the dull side and canceled my preorder, hoping the next package would be better. Nice idea to give this one away. Thanks!

 

[mllNY]

Cool give-away schrute, are you Dwight or Mose!

Please count me in.

Book spoilers, don't read unless you know

Spoiler

I never read the later books however I do know that Luke goes on to marry Mara Jade and Han and Leia's sons pretty much all die and one even becomes a sith. Also my favorite author R.A Salvator kills Chewie in Vector Prime.

That said I would like to see Luke marry and rebuild the Jedi Order but beyond that maybe incorporate some elements from the Force Unleashed, just the concept of a secret apprentice would be cool. If this straight canon for Episoded VII-IX. That or jump years ahead with a a New Age.

That or go completely off track and make on offs for characters like I think I read somewhere

Finally, if you have an ending date please tell us if not and it is open ended that is fine too

 

[denizen]

Great giveaway indeed!

Wow, well despite a number of directions they can go, they will probably fuse elements of the books & game stories by naturally passing the story to the next Skywalker blood. I would presume Han & Leia's kids & or Lukes offspring. The trio of stars will most likely play father figures & Luke will most likely be the next Obi-Wan.

Personally, would love to know more of the Sith & their secret home world. There is still so much we do not know of them. Or even worse, who is a part of them that we did not even know about!

Thanks again!

It is in the OP. August 1st.

Spoiler

I am at a disadvantage when it comes to the NEW Trilogy since I've read all of the Expanded Universe material. I don't see any way to incorporate that material without stepping on a lot of toes so my guess is that they go the Star Trek route and create an "Alternate Universe". That is also more likely given JJ Abrams as the director.

 

[Blayze17]

I am hoping that the new trilogy will either follow the Thrawn Trilogy or follow Luke as he succumbs to the Darkside and becomes the clones Emperors new apprentice from the Dark Empire comic series

The Dark Side Join forces with the Rebelion and come to Earth to stop the Evil Elite who are forming a One World Government and putting through austerity measures on all the minions so the Elite become even wealthier than they already are.

To do this they must persuade David Icke and Alex Jones to spread the gospel and let the minions be aware so they won't be afraid of the Alien invasion and freak out when they see the Millenium Falcon Land on the Lawn of the White House with 10 Million Clones for back up. The Mainstream media collapses and bows to the power of Free Speech and mass awareness online.

The Minions form a massive collective and convince the World Police to take over all the government buildings in the world using C3PO as the spokesdroid. C3PO is fluent in over six million languages as you know.


Boba Fett hunts out the Evil Elite and they give up their regime and agenda scared that they will be tried and executed by lightsabre if they try and carry on their will on the world.
The banks get an audit from R2D2 and they all have to return all their corrupt money back to society which eliminates world hunger and austerity is finally ceased.

The Ewoks and Droids all go to work so the minions don't have to anymore and there are no more G8 or G20 or G192 secret meetings. The Police (now droids) work to protect the people from the Evil Elite ever forming again.

Governments and Royal Families are now no longer needed and Luke Skywalker now head moderates the localized Online Peoples Decision making Forums for all the people to vote on their own localised decisions.
Corporations and Companies now run for non profit and all profits must go to the people.

Han Solo employs an army of inventors that bring about free energy and the utility companies and Gas Stations are broken down in favour of home self sufficiency and Automated Vehicles powered by Water and all products are now sustainable.
Big pharma is now in public hands and now promotes all natural remedies from throughout the universe.

No Licenses are needed anymore, all forms of violence and weaponry are now not needed and everything is Open Source and Free.

All the old past rules are ripped up to start over again apart from Basic Common Law and the people are now Freeman on the Land.

The End.

 

[hogdefoo]

Luke get obsessed by collecting Steelbooks and the dark side will rule the world by producing a lot of nice Steelbooks

 

[Colombianlove41]

Awesome giveaway!

I think they'll be about boba fett sleeping in the sarlac and mace windu walks up in a dream. With sunglasses on, he whispers "hello Boba, welcome to the world of the real..." He panics because he suddenly sees Captain Kirk and Spock, trying to scan him with a tricorder. Then, a small rumbling happens and the sarlac lifts out of the sand, terrorizing Mos Eisley. When Mara Jade busts out some sabre moves but she...looks....like...Sydney Bristow!


I mean I don't want to give it all away but its called Episode VII: Watch out for the Smoke Monster!

 

[elverange]

I would like to see the story of Mace Windu, how he got his purple light saber and the stories of all the jedi masters (yoda, Qui Gon-Jinn etc...) A kind of pre-prelogy

 

[nickforall1987]

first question would be would they go even further back the story the same way they did with 3,4 and &5 (in terms of release)
but i believe it would be the same concept (aircraft planets, character, except of course different actors)
it would be some kind of darth vader son or something, trying to overtake the universe while son of luke skywalker would again be trying to stop it.
i just hope they dont introduce the typical love story into films that they tend to do later

I'm not very knowledgeable with stuff outside the films so here goes.

Many years have passed since the fall of the Empire. Han and Lea are happily living a peaceful life on Tatooie (Well, this planet's been an important place in the series). Luke has basically vanished from trace, on some quest to find an apprentice to continue the Jedis. One evening, Luke returns unannounced to the Solo residence. He informs the couple of a new treat to the Galaxy (A sort of Agents of the Empire, whatever.) taking over the place, constructing a new space station that'll make the Death Star look like a kiddy toy, and they're out to kill those that were part of the Rebels and played a hand in destroying the Empire, including the Solos. Having witnessed a genocide on the Ewok homeworld, Luke's purpose is to take Han and Lea into hiding.

So after some action and a case scene on that Land Speeder from A New Hope after some bad guys show up (I think this film will use new foot soldiers instead of Storm/Clone Troopers or those god awful CGI robots from the prequels), the trio arrive in that town from A New Hope (I don't know the name of everything in SW so please forgive me) and after an excuse for that catchy bar music later, the three arrive in a sort of garage for space ships where we meet the Solo's son and his friends who own the place. Han and the son don't see eye to eye much because Han wasn't around much when he was growing up or whatever. We also see Chewie, who works as the boss of the garage and a lot greyer, as well as a rusty R2D2 and C3PO (Well, might be fun to see them old and rusty). We see the Millennium Falcon at the back of the garage, either looking better then even or worse then "a piece of junk".

So eventually, they get going, space battle, end up on the evil space station, and work out how to stop them and inform the proper people what they're up to for a big climatic space battle, as well as Luke and the son getting into X Wings (Or NEW Wings XD) to join in, and meet whatever villains Disney hope will upstage Mr Vader and co.

The next 2 films explore the reforming the Rebels (With appearances like Lando and whatnot), the ever growing new villains, Han's relationship with his son, as well as Luke seeing some "potential" in the young chap and his friends as possible new Jedis.

So yeah, a mix of nostalgia and new thrown in, as well as passing the torch so to speak. Most of film I just thought up on the spot, but meh, can't refuse a chance to own SW in Steel (Edited or not) for free.

 

[Punker76]

I hear it's going to be about the Leia and Han's children. I reckon the actual story will revolve around them and the other local kids trying to stop their parents homes being reposessed due to "The man" closing down Mos Eisely spaceport - thereby introducing financial and economic uncertainty on Tatooine.

(Han loses his smuggling job and falls into arrears with the mortgage, Leia lets herself go and becomes addicted to scratch cards etc)

SO - the Solo/Organa kids (and their mates) go on an adventure to find "One Eyed Yoda's" lost treasure on Dagobah in an attempt to save the spaceport, save all their parents jobs and their homes etc

Along the way they'll probably be chased by "Ol' Ma Fett" and her boys who will also be after the hidden treasure. There'll probably be a scene involving a giant octopus which will ultimately get excised from the movie but stills of said scene will appear on trading cards that come in a pack of 6 with a free stick of chewing gum.

 

[patcrazystar64]

This pretty much sums up what I want from the new trilogy.

[rapta]

I really would like this as I realised my 14 year old sister has NEVER watched a Star Wars film, which I grew up on (apparently) on my own!

Here's my idea...

Boba Fett appears to still be alive and has new armour made for him by an old associate of Jabba's who still has a bounty on his head. He has set up a little contract business with old rival Han Solo to track down ex-members of the Republic that have gone into hiding across the galaxy - Han essentially acting as Fett's boss, sending him out on contracts whilst Han runs the business end of things (kind of like a sci-fi '24' situation). A second age of Sith has come about in secret and reformed on a dry barren demi-planet, manipulating the local population of nomads to construct a weapon within the very planet (carrying on from the death star idea but embedded in an actual planet) that can be used to destroy other planets - these Sith are strange and mysterious with a lot of inexplicable evil to their overall plan. The twin daughter and son of Han and Leia are raised as freelance Jedi by a splinter group set up by a small order of older Jedi on the forested planet Han and Leia now live on. Chaos ensues when one of the twins is imprisoned when investigating the barren demi-planet and brother, father (in the Millennium Falcon) and associates come looking for her, and come across the insane Sith master-plot...Fett and other contracted agents are called in to come together and amass a New Rebellion to fight this new dawn of Sith before it takes grip on the galaxy once more...

The thinking is this should be a step-up in complications from the original trilogy, in the same way WWII was somewhat less straightforward than WWI. An obscure, implicit evil.

 

[GroundZero81]

I think the sith lords need to take out the remaining jedi knights and also destroy the republic hun solo needs to betray them by working for the top level bosses alongside boba fett also with all the republic dead the planet should be left to the ewalks to save!!! them being so small and so many of them they should come together to save there race overal boba fett should be the main character in the new film even if he's a bounty hunter he should eventually take out whoever he works for

 

[sirdizzy]

I'd love to see something along the line of the Heir to the Empire series that kicked off the star wars books again in the early 90's.


20 years down the future Luke Skywalker is training a new generation of Jedi including Han and Leia's kids when a new sith lord appears to threaten the integrity of the new republic they have created. This allows you to include Mark Hammil and Harrison Ford. I'd also give Ford his desire he wanted at the end of Star Wars and allow him to die saving his kids.
