Rumor: Lucas Planning New Star Wars Trilogy

[BrionJames]

I, for one, will not be seeing it. Ever.

 

[Jadak]

Ignoring the fact that Lucas would probably ruin it either way, I couldn't care less about something in Star Wars if it were to take place so far in the future.

 

[latenightapplepie]

The problem is that Lucas can't write scripts.

Agreed. The dialogue he writes makes me cringe.

That said, I'm not against this idea. A new trilogy could be mildly pleasant. I never loved the original or prequel trilogies to death all that much. I just like force powers, lightsabers, spaceships and laser beams. Give me those with a half-decent plot that doesn't have some of that terrible dialogue, and I should enjoy myself.

Lucas is a buisnessman first and film maker second.
If he makes it with this mindset, I'm not going to watch it.
If he Produces it and someone else makes it, that might be a different story.

Buuut to still go along with the fun habit everyone's doing for Big Nos, I will now link this.

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 oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy.

THIS

I agree with that. I'm hoping for more in-depth info on Yoda's species x3

 

[SpaceCop]

I can see this happening; Mr Lucas just loves $$$torytelling.

 

[SturmDolch]

Oh sweet! I didn't mind the prequels. There were a few epic parts, namely Darth Maul, Battle Droids, Droidekas (seriously, pure awesome), Curroscant (sic), Jango Fett, Clone Army, Clone Wars, General Grievous, Mace Windu...

Yeah, lots of cool things actually. It's just the dialogue sometimes and some lame scenes that were obviously just made for the special effects.

If he learned from that, these could be epic. If it's even true. I hope it is.

Another trilogy? [http://www.nooooooooooooooo.com/]

ba bum chaaa.... just think if there was no 2nd trilogy...you wouldnt have that link right there....
But to be honest. this sounds like a good idea. He will have nothing to hold him back. and the story can go anywhere

 

[Rigs83]

Lucas sucks as a director, look at all the Star War movies he directed versus produced. He is perhaps the best producer ever and I hope he sticks to writing and directing.

I would love it if he let's his pal Spielberg direct. He had actually planned to have him direct Empire Strikes Back but a dispute with the Directors Guild prevented it.

 

[BlueHighwind]

YAY!

I was kinda hoping that Lucas would be dead before Star Wars VII came out, but assuming that he is a functional thinking human being he won't possibly make the same mistakes as the prequels. This actually won't be too bad.

I gotta make a kid soon so I can take him or her to this.

 

[meowchef]

Simply awesome.

 

[duchaked]

yay? go for it

that's all I gotta say haha

 

[Ldude893]

Do you feel that, Mr. Lucas? I'm choking you from a distance.

 

[bismarck55]

YAY!

You assume much. Never underestimate the depths of incompetence people can sink to.

The farce is strong with Lucas.

I just crushed thousands of star wars fanboy dreams by providing a single link.

yay me.

 

[Dana22]

Dont mind, new trilogy wasnt so bad in my oppinion.

 

[Mafoobula]

Fact: The only way this could be awesome is if it's largely written and planned by anyone who ISN'T George Lucas. I've read a few books set in the expanded universe, the games range from average to excellent, hell, there are probably a few good fan-fics out there (bell curve theory says it must be so).

Maybe I'm wrong though. Maybe George Lucas CAN write a good Star Wars movie, if it really is set far in the future. Hell, he's the one who came up with Star Wars in the first place. Maybe it's time we give Mr. Lucas the second chance we never really gave him. He's still a great director, as evidenced by the original trilogy.

I dunno, it's just so hard to reconcile these two men. On the one hand, we have the man who dreamed up Star Wars and managed to make it happen. On the other, the man who made Jar-Jar Binks, midichlorians, pod racing, pointless scenes of pointless discussion of pointless politics... ye gods, I haven't gotten half-way through the first prequel. Okay, screw George Lucas, bring in somebody else. Bioware and Bethesda, R. A. Salvatore, Richard A. Knaak, anybody. Give me a few months, I could bang out a half-way decent screenplay.

 

[WeatherMan11]

Hasn't he turned his back on us fans enough?

We can get clone wars animated movie and tv show plus a new trilogy, but nothing from SHADOWS OF THE EMPIRE, an amazing book!!!

UGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

 

[hem dazon 90]

Ill kill him.


Give me a sniper rifle,a safe house in The Budayeen and 2000 Kiam (cookie for the reference) I will stop him.
