I feel like the Original Trilogy time period is under-done now. It feels like everything is Jedi/Sith or Clone Wars oriented.
I'd rather see another Dark Forces game than Force Unleashed. Hopefully the live action telelvision show delivers on exploring the time period AFTER Episode 3, and we see more of the underground of Star Wars. I'm burnt out on lightsabers. I need more bounty hunters, smugglers and mobsters. |

I agree with what has been said about the reestablishment of the jedi order. To me, it seemed like the logical thing to do. I am not 100% in agreement on how writers have approached it over the years tho. I remember reading the NJO books(I think it was that..) and at one point it was stated that the Jedi Order had grown so large that Luke did not even know all the Jedi that were part of it. I can imagine the Jedi order coming back slowly. Realistically, Luke was barely a Jedi when he faced Vader during Return of the Jedi. Yoda told him that it would be the last part of his training or whatever. Luke was probably barely fit to train any Jedi himself..not for a long time at least. I just don't see the jedi Order exploding the way it did and so rapidly. I was not really behind the decision to add non-Jedi to the Jedi Council as well..

Heres how I would look at it. Luke probably shouldn't be finding or training anyone for about 5 years after Return of the Jedi. I think he's still stepping into the role of becoming a Jedi at that point. He should learn more about Jedi history, reflecting on the stuff that just happened to him and such.
That time should be spent improving his skills, exploring the galaxy, and eventually finding an apprentice. He should really take at least 10 years with that apprentice. Then what? That apprentice takes an apprentice, and Luke takes another? Even so, you're still 35 years (generously) past ROTJ before you have 4 real Jedi. Luke is about 60 at that point. Even if he lives and trains until he's 100, and those he has trained take apprentices, the Jedi Order would still be pretty small. I don't feel like doing the math out, but it would fit in a single room. No way they'd be spread out all over the Galaxy and some unbeknownst to Luke directly. Only if they were being rapidly trained via Luke's Complete Idiot's Guide To: Becoming a Jedi. Whether Leia and her children (or Luke's children) become Jedi is inconsequential too, since they'd need to be trained, and would just fit into that lineage of apprentices somewhere. |

That means they only need to make one more Ewok movie.

If it was an animated mini-series on cartoon network, then sure.
