Rumor: Lucas Planning New Star Wars Trilogy

[AstylahAthrys]

What? WHAT? No. I can get myself excited about the 3D releases but new Star Wars movies? Though I enjoyed the PT, they were not as good as the OT and imagine if these aren't as good as even the PT. They'll suck so badly! The only good thing is that they'll un-cannon all those terrible novels. Of course this is assuming that this is true. I hope it isn't.

Let's face it - the fandom deserves it.
They've been buying toys, legos, costumes, games, books, comics and so forth for decades and I'm sure as hell the cash hasn't stopped flowing. Whatever you hate or love the new trilogy know - your willingness to support the franchise caused this.

...

There is no justice in Hollywood.

The prequel trilogy might not have been perfect, but they were still enjoyable, especially Revenge of the Sith. I'm looking forward to this, if just for the reactions from the fanboys.

As long as Palpatine doesn't resurrect himself (which was what finally turned me off all those expanded universe things set after episode 6), I guess I'll give it a look

ouch, lucas would be nearly 80 going 90 by that time...I suppose the question would be if he could live long enough.

 

[Flunk]

Meh, why not. If it's bad I'll just watch them once.

He gave his wife the scripts as an anniversary present and said he wouldn't touch them unless she gave him permission because of how upset she was at how much time the movies took of his life. I doubt she folded so quickly. This is probably wrong.

He needs to touch the scripts of the old films to make a new one?

 

[DaxStrife]

Who wouldn't want to see more Star Wars movies? I just hope if they're being considered, they're letting other people write and direct them; Lucas can step in as a consultant and have the final say, but I don't trust another movie by him, not after the prequels and "Crystal Skull." *Shudder*

I was about to scream NOOOO! at the top of my lungs but if it's way in the future and not related to the current storyline then maybe he came up with something new and original. This might not be bad, I'll give him one more chance to redeem himself.

What Lucas needs is people who actually challenge his ideas. Thats what made the original trilogy so good.

Rick McCallum struck me as a bit too much of a Yesman which lends credence to your argument. I do like the idea of continuing the series but this is nothing but a rumor, and until something concrete surfaces nobody should invest into this.

 

[zenoaugustus]

Da fuck?

 

[Zhukov]

It's as if a million fanboys cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced.

this.
I really hope he doesn't strap the stomtrooper down this time. (cookiez for referencez)

South Park?

Anyway....I don't know what to think of this.

 

[Awexsome]

My reaction is... skeptic.

But my curiosity cannot repel a rumor of that magnitude.

 

[Helios_(DEL)]

ahahahah shit in bed lawl

 

[Callate]

The source credits the success of the movie Avatar and the Clone Wars TV show as inspiring Lucas to create new material.

...And the failure of the Clone Wars movie didn't "inspire" him to lay off?

George, you broke the last trilogy we gave you. You don't get another one.

 

[legend forge]

FFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-

 

[Not G. Ivingname]

... Huh... what to think... what to think...

The original triligy was great mostly a great deal to the fact that GEORGE LUCAS WASN'T REALLY THE DIRECTOR. The only one he did officially direct was a New Hope, and he had his wife do a lot of the work and had to completely recut the entire movie. The second and third, he was no where in sight of the director's chair, he had two other directors work their magic.

When we got him in the director's chair, we got the prequels. Nobody could say "hay, I think this is a stupid idea" since he wrote, funded, and directed the entire thing. What does he plan to do with sequels?

If he makes direct sequels, he will have to deal with all of this crap: http://www.cracked.com/article/167_5-reasons-star-wars-sequels-would-be-worse-than-prequels/

He would have to set it thousands of years afterwards, at which point it really loses all conection to the other six films...

Uhh...

Why does Star Wars have to keep making money? When can the new material come to an end and the rerereleases stop? Can't we all just peacefully remember the first three films where the only bad film was that Holiday special we don't talk about anymore?

 

[Why do I care]

Let me say this in the most serious manor:

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH

SHIT!

Lets just see how it goes...
