Guest Jed Posted January 16, 2004 Share Posted January 16, 2004 TheForce.Net has reported that Peter Mayhew is to appear in Episode 3, but his contract will extend to Episodes 7, 8, and 9.... Interesting news, but do you think it has any validity? Will the fabled third trilogy of sorts actually hit the big-screen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IG-64 Posted January 16, 2004 Share Posted January 16, 2004 I was told that you shoud not belive everything on theforce.net. And GL did say there wouldn't be a 7 8 and 9 so, meh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taos Posted January 16, 2004 Share Posted January 16, 2004 As much as it would be neat to see a third trilogy, I think they should just end it after episode three lol. I think that is plenty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Fisher Posted January 16, 2004 Share Posted January 16, 2004 Hmm.. I dunno, a third trilogy?.... I think that they have doen enough... but, if they want to, I have no problem.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astrotoy7 Posted January 16, 2004 Share Posted January 16, 2004 AARRGGGGHHHHHHHH!!!!!! Runs around room screaming !!!! Although I closed my eyes very quickly after the first sentence or so of this post....Please Please specify "episode 3 spoilers" , just mentioning plain old 'spoliers' I actually though you were referring to the novels.... bugger spoilt and deflowered for Ep 3 Astro Sad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XERXES Posted January 16, 2004 Share Posted January 16, 2004 Man at this rate episode 7,8 and 9 will be out by the time I am 40. Lucas needs to learn from Peter Jackson on how to release a trilogy properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExcelsioN Posted January 16, 2004 Share Posted January 16, 2004 Lucas will probably forget he even said that (if he did). I find it very unlikely that there'll be and Ep 7,8,9. And I thought that Chewie got killed by Yuhzan Vong in the EU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MysticSpade Posted January 16, 2004 Share Posted January 16, 2004 i'm not sure if any of you guys have heard this or not. GL has sold the rights to 7,8, and 9 to good friend Steven Spielberg. and he said that most likely he would carry them to the BIG screen with good ol george as executive producer and technical adviser.

I'd love to see your source for this. I can't see anything on the official site, or theforce.net to confirm... Unless of course you are referring to this rumour on TFN: And we're hearing about a wish list of directors, too. Including Steven Spielberg I wish people would provide links when they offer questionable information - usually it turns out to be completely false. To be honest, from reading the articles on TFN, it seems to be a serious case of Chinese Whispers going on here. The rumour started with "Peter Mayhew's contract extends to Ep. 7, 8 and 9" - which was probably false anyway. Now, we have a situation where "there IS going to be a 7, 8 and 9, and Steven Spielberg's directing it!" I hate the internet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MysticSpade Posted January 17, 2004 Share Posted January 17, 2004 i didn't say it was FACT i said it is what i heard. the only place i can remember anything about it was on either the Ep1 DVD or Ep2 DVD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obi Posted January 17, 2004 Share Posted January 17, 2004 7,8, and 9? HA! Heck no. How would we get actors to play to parts of those in the OT? Those guys are like, almost 80 years old. No way. 7, 8, and 9 won't happen at all. If it does, Luke, Leia, Han, all those, probably won't be the focus of attention. There would be a new main character. There would HAVE to be one.

Darklighter Posted January 17, 2004 Share Posted January 17, 2004 If Episode 3 is not at least ten times as decent as the first two prequels put together, then there will be no more SW films. Ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know, CGI is pretty good these days...Maybe the won't need them to play - just someone with the same general features as the originals.

Astrotoy7 Posted January 19, 2004 Share Posted January 19, 2004 I cant believe this has turned into those "I heard they are making Ep 7, 8 and 9 threads." Sheesh After waging countless wars on this very topic on theforce.net forums, here we are in the much more 'sane'(I thought until now) lucasforums, and ppl are rabitting on about the same crap. *Peter Mayhew said, WTF does that matter. He plays a guy in a suit, he doesnt even have ONE LINE in any of the films.....It is all up to GEORGE LUCAS...who has EMPHATICALLY stated that he will NOT be doing 7, 8 and 9 EVER. This isnt from what "my friend said he saw it on the net" bullshyte, George Lucas says it himself on the EPI DVD, in an interview with Leonard Malten I nelieve, but has said it in various other sources. This has even been a question on "Ask the Jedi Council" on the official site. GL said NO. Making Ep3, doing the OT DVDs and producing Indy 4 have/will occupy the last 10+ years of his life...he will be in his 60s. Maybe something related to SW may eventaute one day(which I doubt), but say farewell to 7-9... be grateful that SW has a decent EU ! ANYONE who can quote a LEGITIMATE source of DIRECT evidence, about George Lucas corroborating those allegations himself will be awarded the medal not unlike Leia gave to Luke and Han in ANH, personally, by ME !! **Goes off to start, "I heard Epsidoe 3 will have bullet time, will be directed by Peter Jackson, and Keanu Reaves will play anakins pit droid, and Yoda fights against Aragorn and Mr Smith" thread** **Dragging fingers across blackboard sound** ...thats how annoyed I get everytime I read such pointless speculation...

Surfnshannon Posted January 19, 2004 Share Posted January 19, 2004 One can dream...however...if the series ends on a *high* note with this last one - I think they should just leave it... Maybe do a SW spin off - but let's leave our hero's alone....and not screw it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MennoniteHobbit Posted January 20, 2004 Share Posted January 20, 2004 Please forumers, where is the legitimacy in spoilers? I won't believe it 'til I see it. I really don't care whether 7,8, and 9 come out. I won't be excited, camping out the day before those movies come out like I would for episode 3.
