What If John Woo Had Directed Star Wars?

Sengkor suggested something that got me thinking, what if John Woo had directed Star Wars? What would we expect to see in a John Woo's Star Wars film? Hypothetically we would see all his trademarks that he does so well.

All clone troopers would be carrying two guns instead of one for twice the impact and twice the firepower! This so call "Double Automatic Guns-Slinging" is becoming very fashionable in Hollywood and a lot of directors are copying it for their own movies.

Then there's also the "Ballistic Shoot-outs" scenes that John Woo is so famous for where you can expect to see bullets(in this case laser bolts) flying everywhere and bodies falling over all in slow motion!

There's also the "Back-to-back" where our heros come together to exchange a few words and to reload their guns in the midst of a gun fight with enemy fires going off all around them. It would be so cool!

Last but certainly not least we must have the "Face-to-face Stand-off" where two foes meet in an intense stand-off with both aiming their guns at each other! So it would certainly be exciting if John Woo were to direct Star Wars.

Hey this is brilliant! Certainly has got the John Woo feel to those photos.

So, how about pulling a Stanley Kubrick emulation?
