Tie Guy Posted January 21, 2003 Share Posted January 21, 2003 I don't know, could have just been a mistake on his part. It would be nice to see Episodes 7-9, but i doubt it at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wassup Posted January 21, 2003 Share Posted January 21, 2003 Not a chance...that's probably some mistake he made trying to get his words out. He might have been referring to his orginal plans or had too much booze with PJ that night... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogue15 Posted January 21, 2003 Share Posted January 21, 2003 that would be awesome....well....depending what timeline he sets them in. would be sweet to see what sw is like 3000 years after rotj, and let him give people something to write up to. =] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katarn07 Posted January 22, 2003 Share Posted January 22, 2003 He has more projects he's dying to get out I read. He doubts there will be a third trilogy, and if there is, it won't be done by him.

Darth_Rive Posted January 22, 2003 Share Posted January 22, 2003 I dunno. As much as I'd love to see the new trilogy, I think it'd be a better idea to license out the universe, to let other people write screenplays and have GL and his co-writers go over them and check them for their appropriateness... if that's even a word... But yeah, I know that I'd love to see Kevin J. Anderson's "Jedi Academy" trilogy made into movies, for definite, as well as "Shadows of The Empire". I think that the later trilogy might be a bit... I dunno, dull? depends on that he's got planned. I mean, technically, he's got peace throughout the galaxy (apart from the Remnant forces, Admiral Daala, etc, but they're not really canonical characters / situations, so as far as the movie story's concerned, they don't exist), so the stor could probably just be left there. I just think that it'd be nice for GL & friends to let other people have a go for a change. Like me, for example... It'd be nice to see a SW film without a single plot-hole in it for a change...

Darth_Rive Posted January 22, 2003 Share Posted January 22, 2003 True, but as I said, technically Thrawn doesn't exist as far as GL's concerned. I mean, if he's going to do the final trilogy, Lucas and his team are going to have to do a hell of a lot of reading and note-taking, plus they'll have to pay out royalties to the hundreds of authors that have had their books about after Episode VI published, because of having to include some of their stories in the films. The thing is that almost all these characters, no matter how different, all end up having their paths cross in the books, so it's going to be extremely difficult to do. I can just see it now. GL goes ahead with his planned story and bulldozes all that has been written before the films. I mean, I know that the SW universe is technically his intellectual property, blah blah, and why should he have to re-write his own story to accommodate these authors, but think about it. Star Wars VII-IX will be made for the fans of the previous movies. This could potentially end up like the Star Trek (oops - swear word )universe, where "Enterprise" has basically knackered up the whole thing by getting all the facts wrong. The people that are watching the series are fans, and know roughly what went before, and are all pissed at the fact that it's gone all arse-over-tit. I hope GL takes a look at that and realises that he's potentially sitting on the verge of the same situation. Well, whatever happens, it'll probably break all box-office records again, even if tey do end up crap, simply because of the big gold lettering of "STAR WARS". Apologies for sounding so cynical today... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keiran Halcyon Posted January 23, 2003 Share Posted January 23, 2003 Well of course if lucas does more movies, the EU will be driven off. unless he pretends to end the Yuzaan Vong Era with movies And i think he wouldnot have to pay any royalties to any writer, he is his universe and his license.... (the writes should be prying him to insert a character created by him in the movies, not suing him for that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think deep down GL has heard enough critics bash his movie and compare it to films like American Beauty and Fight Club. I think what critics really want is to see Ben Affleck come out in a spandex Darth Vader Suit and swing a lightsaber around to Mecco's Star Wars, while Quentin Tarrentino, in yet another shameless cameo, discusses with Mace Windu the social, significance of the "Pam and Tommy" video. Well, that's just my opinion..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JediNyt Posted January 25, 2003 Share Posted January 25, 2003 GL said he would not make a sequel trilogy. This is all gossip. Rumors. I read the above article at TF.net I think and the writer corrected themselves saying they misstated GL saying 9 and ment 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Talliusc Posted January 26, 2003 Share Posted January 26, 2003 Originally posted by Tie Guy One word: Thrawn. you just sent shivers all up my spine. if they DO make another trilogy it had BETTER be about thrawn. but maybe tweak the story a little bit, i mean Thrawn deserved a better death. and the nohgri better look damn cool. oo and finally they better focus on the imperial side alot more, i cant get enough Thrawn tactics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JediNyt Posted January 28, 2003 Share Posted January 28, 2003 Yeah if a third trilogy was made I think the Thrawn series would be great. Thats also where Mara Jade first appears. Shes quite an important character as far as Luke is concerned. Or do the New Jedi Order series. Maybe combine the two and see Leia and Hans kids born and grow up and Luke and Mara meet and eventually get married. Great stuff yes. But it wont happen. Not with GL anyway. He may make a permanent Lucasfilm contract to never make another SW movie even after hes gone. Or if not his kids may create a whole new SW generation of movies.

Reborn Outcast Posted January 28, 2003 Share Posted January 28, 2003 I don't think its true because it would conflict with the EU books... but it would be nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pnut_Man Posted January 28, 2003 Share Posted January 28, 2003 At this point I'm convinced that Lucas will not make another trilogy. Dumb ass half brain critics have complained that Star Wars is dying and that LOTR shall rule. Of course, this is bull If George Lucas does not create another trilogy then it's almost definate that some other director will buy off the rights and make the 3rd trilogy. I believe creating a trilogy about the Yuuzhan Vong would be most wise. People + fans in general are probably tired of the ole "kill stormies" routine. Let's see film making brought to the next level with the Yuuzhan Vong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swphreak Posted February 1, 2003 Share Posted February 1, 2003 Yes, they should make a Yuuzhan Vong trilogy. If they cant get GL to make it, then I'd even settle for a CG cartoon (not cartoon cartoon, but Computer Genterated.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nova_wolf Posted February 2, 2003 Share Posted February 2, 2003 He has said 'no' everytime he has been asked. I think he was toying with us (collective fan base). You all know how we are viewd by him and the original cast - it's not always that favouravle or repeatable! HE won't, but there are some good stories, so indeed - someone else may. But I think that CG cartoon series are the way to go. It what kids today want, it would do the series justice, we don't need to worry about the aging actors, and GL can make a bundle from it (always a motivator with them these days) *go to Betty Ford to kick the habit - cynicism* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
