Kyth'emos Posted August 4, 2002 Share Posted August 4, 2002 Originally posted by Lightning you mean make a movie about the books?? No, George Lucas has made rough drafts for episodes 1-9 that have nothing to do with any EU bull****. But he has said he won't make 7-9. I dn't really think he should... there just isn't enough material left for 3 more movies, in my opinion he would be very hard pressed to make one more good movie out of episode 7. Plus the fact that him making EP 7-9 would blow half the EU to hell and piss off all the idiots who think EU is cannon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Talliusc Posted August 4, 2002 Share Posted August 4, 2002 thats harsh, they could easily make 7-9 just different from the EU. nobody said they have to have one big plotline. and i dont think ANYBODY mistakes EU for cannon. but we do love the EU all the same because it is amazing.

Clem Posted August 4, 2002 Share Posted August 4, 2002 sure EU isnt cannon ... if george clashes with EU george wins but he did more than write a 3 film story ..... he built a galaxy .... in which there is ample room for other stories about other times ... and other people ....and other places and the same stuff ..... george has allowed this to happen .... so y cant u get used to it .... oh and george is old ... let him spend his money .... 7 - 9 would prolly be pants neway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ibballin Posted August 4, 2002 Share Posted August 4, 2002 i dont think george should make more. right now hes like what 55 years old? ok it takes 3 years to make the movie so hell be 58. then hell probaly want to take some time off from everything so thats another, lets say 4 years.(62)then he has to and i mean HAS TO make another indy movie so that ill be 3 years(65) then another 2 years vacation(67) then he just cant make one more film hell have to make all three so thats nine more years making him 76 years old. i doubt he would want to be making movies when hes 76. also it is very rare for movies that have that many sequels, actully become a success. some movies make a horrible sequel, some cant get the first one down! i think by going for 7-9 would be pressing his luck. dont get me wrong i want him too but he probaly just wants to relax and retire from doing stuff. he made 5 great movies and one on the way. not including his other films Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitedragon Posted August 4, 2002 Share Posted August 4, 2002 i think he should make it about the NJO that would be the coolest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkum Posted August 4, 2002 Share Posted August 4, 2002 If everyone pushes him to do it, he will. Besides, EU is just a whole bunch of other writers making up stuff, well mostly anyway. The movies are all Lucas' ideas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sivy Posted August 4, 2002 Share Posted August 4, 2002 I read alot of EU books, but I couldn't get into the New Jedi Order. I started reading Vector Prime got half way through it and just thought no, no, no! Then I threw against the wall and sold it on ebay the next day. If GL was to make 7-9, it wouldn't be based off any EU books. He says he doesn't even read any of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clem Posted August 4, 2002 Share Posted August 4, 2002 i bet he does read some of the books some of the film ideas are pure EU (dual bladed sabre for 1) (possibly even 2 sabres) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JandoFett1842 Posted August 4, 2002 Share Posted August 4, 2002 Originally posted by whitedragon i think he should make it about the NJO that would be the coolest NJO would be rated PG-13 if they made it, but that would make sence, since the acters look that age from the OT.

ronbrothers Posted August 4, 2002 Share Posted August 4, 2002 I was there when Episode 4 was released simply as "Star Wars". I collected the Marvel SW comics and all of the vintage Kenner figures. And I remember reading the Lucas interview in Starlog magazine in 1980 after Empire was released. He stated that there would be three trilogies and that the final trilogy would be about Luke Skywalker's kids. Then when he announced that he would start up working on the prequel trilogy in 1997, he denied that there was ever going to be a third trilogy. It is clear that he has shifted the focus of the saga from "The Adventures of Luke Skywalker" to Anakins story -- a move that I actually like. But according to this shift, his saga ends with Return of the Jedi. I think SW has taken a great effort and toll on Mr. Lucas. And I sadly agree that it would not be likely that he would be of age or interest to continue the saga. This is coming from a 34 year old who has waited for this since he was 12 years old ...

teutonicknight Posted August 5, 2002 Share Posted August 5, 2002 Make 7-9 would not make since in my opion. The Star Wars trilogy is about the "chosen one", meaning anakin. Anakin dies in 6. Story ends. 'Nuff said. i dont think george should make more. right now hes like what 55 years old? He is 60. I don't know about you, but when I reach 60, I will be sitting on a beach or in my private yacht for the rest of my days, not making more movies to a saga that is already complete. Think about it. When Ep3 is complete He willl 65. Helloo. Thats old. I do not think that he will spend 15 more years to make movies (80!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ronbrothers Posted August 5, 2002 Share Posted August 5, 2002 If it has to be, I'd hope that he would be directly involved.

Camus Posted August 5, 2002 Share Posted August 5, 2002 Originally posted by Dath Maximus i think he will make them cause he will want more money. It is all about the money... Im sure that will effect it... Originally posted by ronbrothers If it has to be, I'd hope that he would be directly involved. Look at what has happened to Star Trek since Gene Roddenberry died ... spin off after spin off ... money grab after money grab. He does have a final view of the last trillogy... If he doesnt finish the last 3... Someone that runs lucasarts will finish it... and it wont be any thing like the ones GL made... So Im sure hes relized if he wants it hes story to finish the way he wants it he better finish it before really big money grabbing Lucasarts big wheeles get ahold of it...

ronbrothers Posted August 5, 2002 Share Posted August 5, 2002 nothing was wrong with Star Trek untill the last season of Voyager... but after that things started to get ver f*cked up. Not to make this a Star Trek thread, but ... I'm not saying anything was wrong with each Trek series as individual efforts, but you have to look at the big picture as a whole. I loved DS9, VOY and now ENT, but they are nowhere near the Star Trek created by Gene Roddenberry. They were fine, but not his creation. With each series, you get farther and farther away from Roddenberry's Star Trek and what made it timeless as it is (60's look not meant here). I'm afraid the same thing would happen to Star Wars. Themes created by Lucas would be gone back and revisited and SW history rewritten to suit the current LucasFilm CEO .... can you imagine?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jubatus Posted August 5, 2002 Share Posted August 5, 2002 GL has expressed his lack of enthusiasm to make Episodes 7 - 9. He wants back to making more down to earth movies, pardon the pun. I really shan't want for a continuation beyond RotJ; that movie and its finishing of an epic tale has been around for almost 20 years now, and to weave more history from that point would be like continuing on the story of Tolkien's Lord of the Rings. It would deflate the original story, especially its ending that should rest in itself. I know GL planned from the very start a continuation beyond RotJ but if he stands adamant about his decision to end it at Episode 6, I will respect it. But here is where my greatest fear comes to light; that at some point in the future some other than the master will step in and make 7 - 9. I have some faith in GL making sure no one messes with his baby as long as he is around, but I have a nagging suspicion that somewhere in his copyright contract there is a time limit or some such unfortunate clause. Perhaps when he dies some relatives or his lawyers decide to sell of the rights to some punk, whose directing/production skills will be blown out of proportion to make the public accept his potential for lifting up the legacy. He will then try, and surely fail miserably. Now, he will be blamed for the failure but even more so should the public for demanding 7 - 9 without GL's hand. It's easy to fall victim to the lure of wanting more of something wonderful, but beware the onset of rot in a ripe, sweet fruit. Instead, appreciate the completeness of a piece of art and let it rest in itself. In short, be careful what you wish for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teutonicknight Posted August 5, 2002 Share Posted August 5, 2002 I fully agree with Jubatus and ronbrothers. What is with stupid people?, shut up and stop asking for more! The triolgy is complete when Ep3 comes out! Deal with it!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why the hell isnt he? He's going to pass on the rights to somebody else, from what I've heard. Rumor is that they'll start a new SW series, probably from the books like Heir to the Empire. The Star Wars movies are just a small part of the huge SW Universe. I, personally, would like to see what happens after the fall of the Emperor from someone else's POV.

thehomicidalegg Posted August 5, 2002 Share Posted August 5, 2002 maybe he should just think up the story, lucas is goos at that....and let spielsberg direct it...(dunno about you but i think lucas aint that good a director, nice ideas but execution is slightly lacking, spielsberg did a much better job with esb and rotj) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
