Lucas to Make Sequels to Star Wars After All?
SageMadHatter writes "After denying the possibility of three new Star Wars movies taking place after the original triology story line, it appears that the possibility has actually opened up."

His work on the last couple movies has been outstanding. I hope he keeps directing them himself. May the force be with him!

Not only has George Lucas destroyed our Star Wars past, but the future as well!
My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with a girl who saw Lucas pass out NDAs at 31 Flavors last night. I guess it's pretty serious.
Without ten more years of new Star Wars, whatever would fans have to complain about?
...Also, I didn't know Buggalo could fly.
By episode 9, there will be no live actors at all.
Jar Jar Binks and Ewoks team up to make a suckfest...
"What? More money? OK!"
-_-;;
I'm still clinging to the fleeting hope that the Ep. 3 doesn't completely suck ass. And maybe we'll get lucky and he'll have someone else write/direct/cast/everything the next three...
I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror, and were suddenly silenced.
Not content with raping the childhood memories of fans of the original movies, he's now doing the same for fans of the prequels. All seventeen of them.
I for one look forward to:
Star Wars VII : Jar-Jar Wars
Star Wars VIII: Jar-Jar Strikes Back
Star Wars IX: The Return of Jar-Jar
Lucas Arts personelle are just signing NDA's...that say they specifically cannot discuss Star Wars 7, 8 and 9.
I can neither confirm, nor deny that statement.
Although this begs the question, should we ponder if it will happen or if we want it to happen?
I agree with everyone equally.
The cancel button is your friend. Do not hesitate to use it.
Greebo? Greebo??
Go stand in the corner and think about what you've done.
I've got a bad feeling about this...
Have you read my blog lately?
"If I don't make them, someone else might later," said Lucas. "I want to be sure I'm the one to fuck them up."
Is it possible to fashion my lightsabre into a noose?

Interesting how a post titled funny can be rated insightful!
I submitted this story last night, and it didn't get posted.
hmm she was hot 20 years ago, but that was 20 years ago. will she be up to the task again?
Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony.
Personally, I'd like to see him delegate these to another director.
An interesting idea. I'd like to see the Episodes co-directed by John Carpenter, David Fincher and Paul Verhoeven. Just imagine it: stoned Jedi anarchists with a grand dollop of T&A. Mmmm.
Tubal-Cain smokes the white owl.
he could shit in a bucket and hopeless sw geeks would fight each other for it
Worse yet- Episodes 7-9 could be endless parlimentary procedure of resetting up the galactic senate.
SJW: a person who perceives an injustice, and while correcting it, commits a greater injustice.
Yeah, SW1,2,3 fucked up story line in such matter that not even one more movie and reedited 4,5,6 couldn't bring it back.
In parts 3.1, 3.2, 3.3 (or 7,8,9) you can expect that final truth will be revealed, Luke is in fact illegitimate son of Christel and Steven Carrington (here is the surprise twist that Lucas was carrefully preparing for last few years, Steven is supposed to be gay, but Lucas will show that all the facts were run by money play in Dinasty) and 3PI0 gets killed with can opener from sundays commercial. Oh, yeah Ewoks that were cut from part 6 are now replaced by alieans who resined their role in Alien vs. Predator sequel (Thay are fed up that they loose every time, and wait with thrill to replace Ewoks in now completely new "Aliens dance").

These aren't the sequels you're looking for...

Required reading for internet skeptics
Carrie Fisher can play the harpy Leia. Billy Dee Williams and Harrison Ford will make great smugglers in dotage. This could be really dark. . .
sig semper tyrannis!
Screw that - he should reprise his role from Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back, in the new Star Wars movies! Oh yeah. And Shannon Elizabeth can take over as Leia. I guess James Van Der Beek can be Luke - nobody really cares there. Piefucker can be C3PO. Kevin Smith as a new Sith, maybe. Jason Mewes as Darth Bong, for sure. Snootchie bootchie!
As long as Natalie Portman is casted into it somehow, as say, Leia's daughter and wears a Bikini I'm sure it'll be a box office hit.
...why must we feed off the table scraps of George Lucas?! WHY?!!!!
I'll tell you! Because we all want a lightsaber and an X-Wing!

Meesa thought it couldnt get any worse... Meesa was wrong...
Maybe Spielberg should be the one to direct the new Star Wars?
And through the miracle of CGI, all the roles will be played by Tom Hanks.
I'm no mensa member, but I can spot a pattern here.
If you were a Mensa member you'd be spending so much time praising your own intellect and insulting your 'inferiors' the pattern would make a 'whooshing' sound as it flew over your head, unnoticed in the neon glare of your ego.

My god carries a hammer. Your god died nailed to a tree. Any questions?
I heard that Lucas decided to steal the title for the yet-to-be-made sequel to Spaceballs
I'd rather see a sequel to Mel Brook's Spaceballs.
Anyway, Yogurt promised! "Spaceballs II: The search for more money!"
After all, who can dismiss a wonderful parody like this:
Lord Helmet: I'm your father's brother's nephew's cousin's former roomate.
Lone Starr: And what does that make us?
Lord Helmet: ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.
Hannibal is pissed with Tolkien and Lucas, I'm sure.

ANH: good
ESB: excellent
ROTJ: the muppet show
TPM: attack of the mincing CG robots
AOTC: excrement of bantha attack it does
You see, aside from not realizing that ESB is the greatest film in the series you just were not being subjective enough.
The movie will be called Star Wars: Episode VII: The Blatant Grab For Cash

10. You don't need to see my goddamn indentification, 'cause these ain't the motherfuckin' droids you're looking for.
9. Womp rat may taste like pumpkin pie, but I'll never know, 'cause even if it did I wouldn't eat the filthy motherfucker.
8. This is your father's lightsaber. When you absolutely, positively, have to fill every motherfuckin' stormtrooper in the room . . . accept no substitutes.

I don't know which is more depressing, that 2/3 didn't care enough to vote, or that 1/2 of those that did are crazy.
Behold the Unholy Union of Clan Binks and Clan Fett, Jar-Jar Fett!
Or is it Boba Binks?

To put a witty saying into 120 characters, jst rmv ll th vwls.
Recent experience suggests that it will be a piece of sith.
Not necessarily in this order: 1. Buy extra large coke. 2. Buy pint of Jack Daniels 3. Mix ingredients. 4. Drink half during previews. The movie turns out halfway descent, and you pass out just in time to miss the "love story" of AotC.
Hang on to that memory. Eventually, he'll buy the rights to the interviews so he can re-edit them for consistency.
There were always nine movies planned. These aren't the interviews you're looking for.

My favourite part is when, even though Princess Yukihime does reveal the location of the Rebel base the Death Castle fires it's SuperArrow at Edo...
1. Make three cool movies
2. wait a long time
3. make six shitty movies
4. profit!
Help! I'm being repressed!
EPISODE VII
A CURIOUS MALADY
Soon after the dubiously abrupt collapse of the Empire, the Galaxy finds itself confronting a new threat. Emboldened by their decisive victory at the Battle of Endor, militant EWOKS are wreaking terror on several helpless star systems, whose colossal battleships and armored troops are of no more avail against the Ewoks' invincible logs and pointy sticks than the Empire's Walkers and Stormtroopers proved to be.
To resist the Ewok juggernaut, General HAN SOLO has volunteered to lead the armies of the Foboombah system, but his leadership has not proven valuable, since the Ewoks don't use blasters and he inexplicably refuses to fire the first shot. Nor can LUKE SKYWALKER be of assistance. Not only is he forbidden to instruct a new generation of Jedi, on account of his master's deathbed edict that "the last of the Jedi will [he] be," but he is also battling depression and hallucinations of ghosts who tell him profound-sounding things that usually turn out to be total bull a few years later.
Meanwhile, Princess LEIA SKYWALKER-SOLO-CALRISSIAN is leading a diplomatic mission to Naboo, to ask for assistance from the only race with a military track record that matches that of the undefeated Ewoks; only the GUNGAN arsenal of slingshots and superballs is sufficiently primitive to stand a chance against the Ewoks' own weaponry. And Captain WEDGE ANTILLES prepares to attack the Ewoks on the Forest Moon itself, accompanied by two Jawas and a malfunctioning R2 unit, on the principle that the victory always, without fail, goes to the smallest party involved....

Cameras? They use cameras in Star Wars movies?
More like just rumors until the SGI machine boots up.
CBG: Last night's episode of Itchy & Scratchy was the Worst Episode Ever. Rest assured, I was on the internet within moments, registering my disgust throughout the world.
BART: Hey man, what gives you the right to complain?
CBG: As a loyal fan, I feel they owe me.
Bart: They've given you hours of entertainment for free. How could they possibly owe you? If anything, you owe them.
CBG: (pause) Worst. Episode. Ever.

scene: George Lucas and a horde of head-bobbing clones are all seated around a table.
(you, a dashing job applicant, walk in, head bobbing already like some dashboard toy)
George: Hi there!
You: Yes.
George (flicking through CV): so, it says here that you have no experience with the film industry at all--
You: Yes!
George:-- but I see here listed under hobbies that you are completely malleable, have no free will and enjoy words starting with Y?
You: Yes!
George (stroking fat-neck hiding beard, then punches this question out with a keen gaze and pointed finger): Hrm, so tell me your greatest skill!
You: Yes!
George (leaning back to crowd of yes-men): We gotta hire this guy.
Crowd of goons: Yes! (with head bobbing)
One goon trying to impress: Ya-huh! (George's scowl wipes the smile off his face)
