JediMasterEd Posted February 10, 2002 Posted February 10, 2002 There has been some discussion in the Starwars.com forums about Episodes VII VIII and IX being a possibility but there has been a lot of neglectance of it. I'm curious on what do you think of this.
CaptainRAVE Posted February 10, 2002 Posted February 10, 2002 Well I was hoping, but it seems very unlikely
darthfergie Posted February 10, 2002 Posted February 10, 2002 I wish... But Lucas has said several times...No. He has been known to change his mind...but why would he now? He would have to follow the guidlines of EU or risk totally annialating everything the EU was up until that point. That would of course negate all the wonderful reading I have done over the past few years and it would alienate thousands of fans who love EU and its characters such as Thrawn and Mara Jade...the list could go on and on, but I don't have time. EU helped build up some of the most beloved characters in SW (such as Boba Fett's numerous appearances) I don't think Lucas will dare to topple this mighty tower of fans...
Guest SlashAndBurn Posted February 10, 2002 Posted February 10, 2002 From what I've heard the whole New Jedi Order serries is acknowledged as official Star Wars lore. And was sanctioned by Lucas as a way to clear the playing field in Star wArs since there are so many characters right now. The goal is to make it so he can make the next three but since so much of the Star Warts universe is beign destroyed he wont have to follow the books all that closely. Who knows if it'll hapen...he might just retire after Episode 3.
CaptainRAVE Posted February 10, 2002 Posted February 10, 2002 Originally posted by Tie Guy the books make it very unlikely... Yea, it would spoil those stories
Xirion Posted February 11, 2002 Posted February 11, 2002 In an interview with McCullum, he said, that after Episode 3, if they are feeling good, they may do it. the NJO is not offical lore, lucas says the movies come first,
duder Posted February 11, 2002 Posted February 11, 2002 Perhaps about 20 years after George Lucas passes on.
chrisw_30 Posted February 11, 2002 Posted February 11, 2002 I'm hoping they make them with or without George Lucas involved with it... but i doubt he will let anyone else make it besides himself while he is still alive
Wraith 8 Posted February 11, 2002 Posted February 11, 2002 well... There might be a 7 8 and 9... but it will be with totaly different actors... and well... a different han and Leia...... i dont know if i would like that.... so...
captain_drake Posted February 11, 2002 Posted February 11, 2002 thats what i thought that whould be sracry to see a differnt leia becouse harrsion ford is still pretty young
Guest Lord Maul Posted February 11, 2002 Posted February 11, 2002 Back when Empire first came out Lucas had said that the SW saga was to be 9 chapters. The 9th chapter was to have been completed by 2001. As we all know that didn't happen. Recently, Lucas has said that he never said it would be 9 chapters only 6. I don't expect to see anymore after episode 3 unless Lucas sells the rights to SW. Which is very doubtful.
MercenaryI{aos Posted February 16, 2002 Posted February 16, 2002 I saw a T.V. show documentary and they said 7, 8 and 9 were coming up in the future. but still...
FlyBOy Posted February 16, 2002 Posted February 16, 2002 i hope they don't make 7, 8, and 9. they would ruin the whole expanded universe
Compa_Mighty Posted February 16, 2002 Posted February 16, 2002 I hope they make them, but I don't think they will
darthfergie Posted February 16, 2002 Posted February 16, 2002 Boy if he made 7, 8 and 9 most of the good books in EU like Thrawn Trilogy and many others would fall into obscurity. He would basically have re-written DECADES of work... He won't risk it...He would do more Indy before 7, 8, and 9...and even then he still wouldn't make them.
Kylilin Posted February 16, 2002 Posted February 16, 2002 I hear another Indy is coming out after the trilogy is done, which is not till say 2005? so if there were a 7,8 and 9, they wouldn't be out until the earliest 2008 or 9. I'm still going to say that it is possible, but then again it is also possible that scientists will clone a cat...(oh wait, that happened today...I guess it is really possible after all)
darthfergie Posted February 16, 2002 Posted February 16, 2002 it isn't happening...Lucas wouldn't be that dumb... If he does a movie he is going to want free-riegn over the storyline. If he can't have it he'll do something else... Also he has said several times he won't do it. I'm pretty sure he won't. He may want to have a life outside his film career...
Heavyarms Posted February 16, 2002 Posted February 16, 2002 remember guys, those novels can be like SotE kinds. They take place in between the movies. Take the Bakuran truce: in between episodes VI an VII.
Guest Lord Maul Posted February 16, 2002 Posted February 16, 2002 If Lucas were to start filming chapter 7 now it would be plausible. By the time he finishes ep. 3 and the DVD trilogy the original cast will be too old. If 7 were filmed now he could use the original cast and place it 20 years after ROTJ. But I still don't think he'd do it.
MercenaryI{aos Posted February 16, 2002 Posted February 16, 2002 Who said it was going to use the same main characters? He could always jump ahead to the future to make the characters older if he wanted so he could use different actors or the same actors since they look older. I think new characters would be better though.
Guest Lord Maul Posted February 16, 2002 Posted February 16, 2002 Ep. 7 would have to be the only one with the original cast. Have Han and Leia's kids take over from there. But to use someone else in the main roles (ie. Han, Luke, Leia) would be upsetting to many SW fans. Placing Ep. 7 20+ years after ROTJ would be the only way to utilize the original cast.
Sithcloak Posted February 16, 2002 Posted February 16, 2002 I don't think so because i heard that lucas said that the Star Wars saga is a story about Anikan. Now that anikan is dead what more could they write about? Its not that im against another Star Wars movie, infact i would be quite excited as long as it fit into the EU and it was good, but the problem would be that it just wouldn't fit in. But i think that i read somewhere that Lucas is considering ... Sithcloak
Compa_Mighty Posted February 17, 2002 Posted February 17, 2002 Make up is great this days guys, a small diet and some powder, and Harrison Ford will be 40 again...
darthfergie Posted February 17, 2002 Posted February 17, 2002 What are you talking about!!! They could make Harrison look 2 years old. Especially with the money LucasFilms have now. Seriously though, if they don't use the original cast you can forget the SW feel in it. I really doubt it is going to happen. Although if they made them on the Emperor Reborn I wouldn't mind. That is only in comics no novels or anything, yet it has a loose and workable storyline. It has possibilities. But I wouldn't bet any money on it. Not even if the odds were increased 20 fold in favor of them being made. It just won't happen, as much as I would like it too...
