Lucas Returning to Digital Animation
deadwood writes "It seems Lucas is creating a Digital Animation studio as a subsidiary of ILM, according
to this Yahoo! article.
Lucasfilm Animation is created roughly 17 years after George Lucas sold Pixar to Steve Jobs. I wonder if Episode VII-IX would be a good choice as first projects?"

Well, you're right - Episodes I and II were disappointments. As much as I wanted to enjoy them the way I enjoyed IV - VI, I couldn't. That being said, some artists only have a few great works in them. I think it might be safe to assume that Lucas has used up his stock so at least he's pushing the technology so that future teams will have digital film as the standard, rather than the costly alternative. It seems clear that Lucas has lost his vision and that when I think of Star Wars, it will only be IV - VI, but perhaps someday when the copyright period is over, some kid will create a new Star Wars film that rivals Empire; oh wait...copyright extends infinitely thanks to Congress and Disney now; my bad.
I hate liberals. If you are a liberal, do not reply.
I think the Detroit Free Press must have gotten it wrong. I believe Lucas originally had a general idea of a nine story sequence but he's since said, in many places and it has been widely reported, that only six will be made.
