New Plans From Lucasfilm
Lawrence Person writes "Locus Online has the announcement from Lucasfilms stating that they have authorized an 'adult' line of Star Wars novels. From the article: 'While the movies were still an ongoing project, it was important to portray all aspects of the Star Wars universe as wholesome family entertainment. However, now that the cycle of films is done, we can finally broaden the Star Wars franchise into marketing niches we'd heretofore avoided, and adult entertainment is at the top of our list.'" Relatedly, H_Fisher writes "In a first-of-its-kind move, George Lucas has announced that Lucasfilm and 20th Century Fox will offer free 'replacement DVDs' to anyone who mails in pre-Special Edition VHS and Laserdisc copies of Star Wars episodes IV, V, and VI by April 30th. From the press release: 'This unique opportunity will help fans experience the complete and correct vision of my epic story.'"
these get worse every year.
And still, Luke's feelings for his sister will make his betrayal complete ...

In Soviet Russia, your incessant April Fool's Post Overlords welcome you!
I don't get it with you April Fool's story zealots. I've been sitting here looking at Commander Taco's cats for twenty minutes trying to get three chuckles...
Finally modding someone offtopic when they rant about what "Begging the Question" means: priceless.
you mean that they weren't already adult films... now I know I'm your average evangelical puritan, but I'm pretty sure that when Han Solo kissed the Princess THAT WAS A SIN... did we see a marriage before hand... hell worth almost... and don't even get me started on the possible incest situation, the killing (outside of an official, state designated, war) and the wife beating / strangling
*''I can't believe it's not a hyperlink.''
Even if this is a april fools thing, and there WONT be an adult star wars movie, the idea does have merit in one way; If you define adult movie as=Movie for adults, void of bullshit, jar jar binks, cute fuzzy animals added to make it more child friendly, if you added a bit of grittyness, a heavier plot and even blood, then you might actually have a adult science fiction movie, something that hasn't been done in a good way in a long time, and i'm not counting I Robot.
