Star Wars Sequel Trilogy Rumors

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the let-the-rumors-start-flying dept.

Stop reading if you're spoiler paranoid. ChazeFroy writes "The actor who played Chewbacca in the original Star Wars trilogy, Peter Mayhew, will be in Episode III. Of course, this has been previously reported and comes as no surprise. However, TheForce is reporting that Mayhew's contract contains a stipulation that he must also appear in Episodes 7, 8, and 9. This was first reported in the British movie magazine Hot Dog, whose December issue with this news just hit US newstands."

    Incase any of you didn't know, regardless of how much you/we think EP I & II may have sucked, they still raked in a wack of cash domestically:
    Episode I: $431,088,295
    Episode II: $310,675,583

    I think what we're seeing here are at least + 741,000,000 reasons Lucas is considering 7,8,9.

  2. Chewbacca's speech by aquabat · · Score: 2, Informative

    Apparently, there will be a scene in episode VII where Chewbacca addresses the governing council on Cashyyyk. Mr Lucas is developing a Wookie language expressly for this purpose. The grammar and vocabulary will be available before the release so that die hard fans can follow along without reading the subtitles.

    In the original drafts of all 9 episodes, they were grouped by threes, and the only recurring characters (from one trilogy to the next) were supposed r2d2 and c3p0.

    Has anyone noticed just quite how bad the Hot Dog site is?

    The "Current issue" and "Back Issue" link to 192.168.1.100/... addresses for crying out loud!

    The trilogy is

    The Heir To The Empire
    Dark Force Rising
    The Last Command

    The followon two parter is in

    Spectre Of The Past
    Vision Of The Future

    I strongly recommend all 5 of them in order (and pretty much ignore most of the other Star Wars books which are nowhere near as good - indeed, many are utter crap).
