George Lucas May Be Completely Evil

gabec writes "Sci-fi Wire is reporting a couple rumors about the changes being made to the original Star Wars trilogy for its next release. That being that Natalie Portman may be being inserted into Episode VI: Return of the Jedi and that universally reviled Jar Jar Binks may be being inserted into Episode IV: A New Hope. May The Force forbid." Mind you this is reported as rumor, but it's so unsurprisingly possible...

Re:Not 9 Movies. No, really. Just 6.

As an addendum to the above post, here's a quote from the Star Wars FAQ on the official Star Wars website:

# Episode VII and Beyond

1. Wasn't Star Wars going to be nine or more parts? Will sequels be made set after Return of the Jedi?

Early on in the saga's development, some thought was given to have a trilogy set after Return of the Jedi. George Lucas has long since changed his mind, and the entire Star Wars saga will now encompass six episodes, starting with The Phantom Menace, and ending with Return of the Jedi. There will be no future Star Wars films set after Return of the Jedi.
