Best part about this picture is he has no one to blame but himself.

He looks so sad.

Wow    Don't really know what to make of this...

Yeah having the original cast come back to reprise their roles is a little difficult now...or maybe not. The actors are still alive so all they would need to do is use computer graphics to bring their ages back to a more youthful look, like they did for Jeff Bridges' character; Kevin Flynn in TRON: Legacy. But I think a movie version of Knights of the Old Republic could also work. Those stories were five thousand years before the original Star Wars. Lots of room to work with.

Well Arnold is playing Conan again, so I don't see why the hell not get some of the original cast back and do some kind of new story.

I'm calling it now, the next movie craze Is going to be sequels to old movies, with the original older actors.

You know what, I can totally see this happening. At least the nostalgia levels are going to hit Mars, bounce to the Moon, hit the side pocket of Jupiter, and comet back down to Earth.

And yknow what, it would in many cases be better than the reboots that often happen.

Arnold is playing Conan again?? Why'd they replace him to begin with if he was going to reprise his role?

If Kingdom of the Crystal Skull and Terminator 3 are anything to go by, I'd say likely not.

Sounds like they're going with an idea for the series which was getting ready to go right before he became the Governator. The plan was (at least as I read it in an Entertainment Weekly years ago) to have a transition movie where Arnold would play King Conan and pass the torch on to Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson who would play his son. But there were thoughts of switching The Rock out for another actor since at that time it had only been recently that Johnson had starred in another sword and sandal flick called The Scorpion King.

Also from what I've heard the attempted reboot was a miserable failure.

I always liked Robert E. Howard's other barbarian hero Kull better myself.

Heck yeah Kevin Sorbo!

Good point.

[Abnormal Freak]

Kevin Sorbo's the man in Kull the Conqueror. I gotta watch that again soon; I own the DVD.

My brother lent me a collection of Kull stories that's been on my shelf for over a year. I oughta read that.

Yeah I've got the DVD to, it looks good especially considering the age of the transfer. Funny coincidence, I lent out my collection of Kull stories before I had read it (mostly because it reeked of tobacco when I got it from ebay) about a year or two ago and still haven't got it back. Knowing the relative I lent it to I might be better off just getting another copy. I've read some of the Kull stories from marvel comics and they were good though.

PS- For a funny comparison check out how differently they were able to advertise the movie in the theatrical trailer as opposed to the home video one above, despite the fact they use most of the same clips.

KULL THE CONQUEROR TRAILER

The video trailer says "Epic Fantasy" and the theatrical trailer says "Rockin' good low budget 90s action movie wooooo!" Strange thing is that they're both right.

What about episodes VII, VIII and IX? I never read the books, but I know that they exist, they even show how

(click to show/hide)

Palpatine survived and how he can be really destroyed

, I read about this in a magazine years ago, before they launched the episode III.

[X]

I did hear some talk on the radio about how in the new episode VII Darth Vader is supposed to come back from the ashes so to speak. At this point I'll only see this as a rumor not to be taken literally. However it does leave me scratching my head in wondering how they plan to bring Vader back. He was saved by Luke at the end and his body was cremated on Endor. As for Palpatine surviving his plummet to the Deathstar's core where his body exploded? I highly doubt it. But that's not to say they can't clone him like they did in the expanded universe stories.

[Lelygax]

About Palpatine, his body indeed didnt survived, he transfered his soul to another body before dying, that his the ultimate power of imortality that he seeked. About Darth Vader I never heard about that, since he is dead and we can clearly see that in VI end.

Well of course it depends who's making them... Lucas has no idea what he's doing when it comes to movies, and only Cameron really knew what to do with Terminator. (he made it after all)

Cameron did make several continuity errors in T2 with regards to his original Terminator story so he's not perfect in that sense either. Like Lucas they both made mistakes in their creations.
