While I've heard the eventual game plan was at one point to have three trilogies, I would doubt that work would start on a new Star Wars film so close to the television series.
Yeah it's been years and years since he said he wanted a prequel trilogy and a sequel trilogy.

I was still in School when I first heard him talk about it.

So this news is super duper late and not in any way surprising.

I remember hearing that the series was planned out as 4, 5, 6, 1, 2, 3, 7, 8, 9, even before The Phantom Menace came out. I always felt that Return of the Jedi left too many unanswered questions, and that the EU didn't answer them satisfactorily. Having 3 more movies seems right, even if Lucas can't be trusted to do them well.

And just like that, every Star Wars Novel is rendered completely non-canon.

Ha.
If he goes 1000 years into the future, that's largely unlikely.

However, if he
unkills Chewbacca
this might not suck after all.

Who am I kidding?

It's going to be really mediocre.

Personally, I'll just be playing The Force Unleashed 2 and The Old Republic, games that seem to be getting Star Wars right.

Meh.

I think the prequels get a lot of undue hate(except the first one, obviously) and they steadily got better. Even if this new trilogy sucks, the battles and CGI will still be entertaining.

No. No. NO.

Lucas, stop destroying everything I love about your series with mostly mediocre movies and let me enjoy the last sanctity of the Old Republic and the novels. PLEASE!

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

yay me.
Kudos to you. Would have called it had someone not beaten me to confirming it.

It's not the first time rumors of a sequel trilogy have gone around, and frankly, I don't see it ever happening at this point. The six films we have are about the fall and redemption of Anakin. Sure, the EU may cover the rest of the universe, but to make another series of movies without focusing on a Skywalker at all, let alone Anakin?

I wouldn't bet on it.

I, personally, prefered the prequels. The only reason people were baisd against them, at least ai think, is because of the whole medichlorians thing because other then that they were pretty solid movies.

I think I read something years back about George wanting to do 3 trilogies, but decided to do 2 instead. But really, there's no need for another trilogy.

What Lucas needs is people who actually challenge his ideas. Thats what made the original trilogy so good.
This. Unless George watches every one of those Redlettermedia videos and takes his criticism to heart, these new stories are going to be nothing more than new opportunities for toys.

But wasn't the universe expanded in books? There are dozens of books talking about twhat happens before and after, even with leia and han's children! How will he do this? He'll need to follow the books or make them moot after they've been out for years
Sure, it was, but you don't have to focus on Leia and Han's children, nor must there be any attention paid to any lineage from the original or second trilogies. Granted, with Jedi and Sith, you may have to touch on past history, he could focus on a completely different storyline. There are many, many more people in the Star Wars Universe than the small fraction we've been introduced to.

But we already know what happened after the Return of the Jedi, due to the Expanded Universe (I must say, some EU stories are really good), but even if we didn't know what happens, I'd be skeptic, since it's been a while and he must know that the fan backlash will be really bad.

As long as they're good like ep. 4, and not crap like 1,2,3 It's fine by me. And please: don't milk the movies with franchizes like the current ones... It draines away the FUN.

I find the very idea of this profane. Is it okay to report the news post?
I had a good long laugh at both of these.

Hats off to you, Gents.

I'd love to see a movie based around Rogue or Wraith Squadron if only to see characters rely on their wits instead of lightsaber combos.

If they gotta have Jedi, it oughta involve Knights of the Old Republic or Saba Sebatyne. I'll take either one.

Best would be to have something original and new, or at least something different. I have some hopes for this, not high hopes, but some. If the rumors are true.
Oh my God, you gave me an idea. A Republic Commando movie!
OT: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO...
