Yeah I've been hearing all sorts of rumors. I've heard Lucas is negotiating with several different directors -- including Spielberg. That would be cool. I've heard Mark Hamill coud make an appearance. I've heard Mayhew is involved. I've heard a lot fo things BUT I have not heard anything OFFICIAL from Lucas or Lucasfilms. ANd until I do hear from an official source I will just wait and hope. I mean, obviously there is enough life in teh story o continue, and obviously there are enough fans to warrant a following.
Maybe if we all pool our Force power, we can get some influence going...

wow.....now that would be waaaaaaay cool....and I wonder if they would base the movies (if done) on some of the books that are currently in print....maybe the Thrawn Trilogy...or....maybe the NJO and the Vong....wow...that would be an epic!
wow............possibly something to look forward to beyond Episode three.....

I would think it would be during or after the Vong war, because that would be the right age that Harrison, Carrie, and Mark are.
You know I went to the Peter Mayhew sight and it doesn't say anything about the rumor, which is contrary to the The Force.net's article. But we can only hope,

Well, as it came from the British press, I'd not hold my breath, they make up stuff all the time. Or else LFM jumped all over PM for saying it at all. My guess is that it might be possible, so, LFM might have added a rider to keep him available in case they decide to do it after all. As for the title, it's ok, but I think it will be more like "The Rise of the Empire" which sounds more in keeping with the old saturday serial thriller titles thet GL seems to use as inspiration. Besides, if the critics don't like the film, and they usually don't, we'll see The Creeping Crud or something as headlines on the reviews, it would just leave it wide open for stuff like that. But whatever it gets called, I'm waiting. Do I want EPs 7, 8 & 9 well, you know it, I think he'll take a break, make another film or 2 and then maybe........

and yet more conjecture: www.theforce.net/holonet/index.shtml#24669Lucasfilm Denies SW Sequel Rumors Wed, Aug 25, 04 04:26:22 AM EDT YourMom01 points us to Digital Spy for some interesting tidbits about the rumors surrounding the sequel trilogy: Lucasfilm recently denied plans to film more films in the Star Wars franchise, and George Lucas himself has always denied such plans. Perhaps the agreements allegedly signed by the effects company see the beginning of a change of policy. EOnline has a great story on the subject today as well. Here's a clip - head there for the complete story! But the franchise lay dormant the rest of the decade--the closest Lucas came to doing a sequel was green-lighting a series of best-selling books by sci-fi author Timothy Zahn in the early '90s. Things were looking grim until 1997, when Lucas revived interest in the space opera with spiffed-up versions of the original trilogy--1977's Star Wars (now rechristened Star Wars: Episode IV--A New Hope), 1980's The Empire Strikes Back (Star Wars: Episode V--The Empire Strikes Back), and 1983's Return of the Jedi (Star Wars: Episode VI--Return of the Jedi). Following those successful rereleases, Lucas went to work on the prequels. But in a 1998 interview with Vanity Fair, the writer-director denied ever having any plans to make nine Star Wars movies. "When you see it in six parts, you'll understand," Lucas said at the time. "It really ends at part six." Star Wars: Episode I--The Phantom Menace came out in 1999 and Star Wars: Episode II--Attack of the Clones followed in 2002. While both films took a critical drubbing, they more than made up for it at the box office, earning a more than $1.5 billion combined worldwide. Lucas plans on issuing a four-disc DVD box set of the original trilogy on Sept. 21 followed by the last prequel (or sixth Star Wars movie, depending on how you count 'em), Star Wars: Episode III--Revenge of the Sith, is scheduled to open theatrically on May 19, 2005. And that will be it. Unless you believe the rumors. |

I have believe that this will be it.....in terms of full lenght movies....
Since the original Star Wars was considered the story of Anakin Skywalker (as proclaimed in the Magic of the Myth exhibit)...then the story is indeed over after ROTJ...because Anakin/Vader is gone....

I don't know, these rumors could just be the Lucas machine testing the waters to see if there would be enough interest in doing 7, 8 & 9. I seem to remember that in the beginning he said he envisioned 9 parts but after Return of the Jedi he said then that he wouldn't be doing 1, 2 & 3 or 7, 8 & 9. We'll have to wait & see on this.  |

Yeah, that's how I remember it exactly. And I guess we'll just have to wait & see. I think the next project is supposed to be IndyIIII.
