Oh no...too many questions.

If true, is there any conceivable way that these movies could ever be good?
Is he doing this just because Cameron made a killing with "Pocahontas: Blue Furry Edition"?
Is Lucas going to live to see these new travesties hit theaters?

Oh for the love of god!

At least it won't have Anakin the little ***** in it!

I don't think this would end well. The fact that some many people rally behind Star Wars despite all of the problems they have is part of the problem, and why I think the quality of the prequels was so badly lacking in so many areas.

Also I'll be honest in saying that while he might be thinking of this, it would require him to make another move against people he sold the continuity to yet again. Right now we have at least *3* versions of the future of the Star Wars universe all of which were canon when he sold the rights. We have the young adult books future "Glove Of Darth Vader" and the like which involved the Grand Moffs putting an imposter "heir" of Papaltines on the throne as a new Emperor, We have the "Expanded Universe", and we have the "Dark Horse Comics" future.

A lot of this stuff is absolutly horrendous as well, written by people who have no idea how the universe is supposed to work, yet someone were able to write canon. While popular with some of the fans the whole "Yu'zan Vong" plotline is a good example of something created and written by people who literally didn't have the first clue about the nature of the Star Wars universe or how things work.

That is to say that the universe works in cycles. Good gets a chance to rule, followed by a period of balance, and then a period of evil. The Force dictates these cycles. This is why the Sith in the prequels were so powerful seeming, and why the Jedi found the Force was "cloudy" for them. This was literally an assasination as it was time for the reign of good to end. Anakin was the harbinger of the balance, and Papaltine made the mistake of thinking that he was going to get to rule the new era of evil, when in reality he missed out on the whole "balance" aspect of things.

The idea of Force invisible aliens and things like that miss the entire point of how the universe is supposed to work.

At any rate, the only real way that a sequel could be done at this point is if it was set so far in the future that it was time for the new reign of evil to end. You'd see how all of the things from the original triology went bad in the long run, and you'd have Sith ruling the univese, only to find The Force turn cloudy for them and these "Jedi" guys who they barely remember from the distant past coming out of nowhere and start whooping up on them big time.

The problem with doing that though is of course legal. It comes down to contracts, and quite possibily if the legal system is going to allow George Lucas to violate his own agreements again to gain control of his continuity, since really it can be argued he doesn't own the rights to the future of the Star Wars universe anymore, no matter how far ahead he sets things. So far he has sold those rights three times... right up there with the con artists who sold the Eiffel Tower twice.

I believe this is why he said back when the Prequels came out that he would probably never tough sequels (although he never explained himself). If he really is thinking about doing it, it means that he's obviously got some kind of legal angle he wants to push I'd think.

I love the star wars franchise, but I know when a story has to end. Why must he keep doing this to us?

you know, I know these are probably gonna suck, but even as I'm writing this, there's a hyperactive voice in the back of my brain freaking out over it. Cannot... Suppress...any... longer!

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!
New Star Wars! Oh boy oh boy oh boy -snip-
THIS

I agree with that. I'm hoping for more in-depth info on Yoda's species x3
Wasn't Yoda the last of his kind and hundreds of years old? I could be incredibly wrong though. Actually now that I thnk about t I don't even think thhe books mentioned his race much... I'd love to see a trilogy on he thrawn wars, since thrawn was such an interesting character

As long as he stays away from the time line starts immediately and keeps going all the way up to 140 years after Return of the Jedi, then I'm good. I love my Star Wars books, and I won't be able to stomach any movie that is made that is set during that time. Because any said movie will end up destroying the cannon set in the books, unless he follows the book story lines. If that happens, then a whole new set of issues is raised? No one besides Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher, and Mark Hamill can play Han Solo, Leia Organa Solo, and Luke Skywalker.

I'm not sure how I feel about this.
One one had, setting it a thousand years later could give him the space to develop new characters, and distance himself from the Prequel Trilogy
On the other had...He made the Prequel Trilogy

This may upset me if I were a fan. Can anything ever be left untouched? People should take the Seinfeld approach to things more often.

George Lucas. Why do you hate everything you've created? Why can't you just let your creations rest in peace? Why do you have to keep murdering them and urinating on their corpses?

Yeah the so called canon star wars is set for something like 300 years? I dont remember exactly. So maybe the next part is set even further in to the future? Who knows.

As for the fanrage that's apparently over 9000, why so serious? Nobodys forces you to go watch these if they are excrement of the century. Wait for review census from rottentomatoes or something. I know thats what Im gonna do. Wait till there's reviews, see if its atleast above average, then go see movie.

If 99 out of 100 agree, that its the winner of poo-poo olympics, just ignore it.
