Might Episodes VII - IX Still Be Made?
LE UI Guy writes "According to the HoustonChronicle.com, with all the hype surrounding the recent release of ROTS, speculation abounds that someone may still take a stab at creating episodes VII - IX. Gary Kurtz, producer of Star Wars and The Empire Strikes Back, gives some insight into where the storyline may, or may not, go. On a related note, Roger Ebert, is also giving a thumbs up to a continuation of the storyline as well. Where does the line start?"
LMAO!
Seriously though. The series had a happy ending, so what are they going to do? Morph a new bad guy? Have R2 turn evil?
Make the ewoks rabid?
Luke, I am your grandson?
Apparently it is one has the right to see those episodes and Lucas should be punished as a human rights criminal if he doesn't produce them.
If there's a VII, VII and IX, you just know there's going to be X, XI, and XII after that.
Then it's the prequel to the prequel. Negative I, II and III. I don't know, maybe Darth Vader discovers time travel.
Unless you get Natalie Portman to be wearing that outfit Carrie Fisher wore in RotJ, I don't want to hear any more about it. Please.
Enough already.
I think Episodes 7-9 are specifically mentioned by name in the UN Convention on Torture and Inhumane Treatment.

"Lucas you sonofabitch, you have shat upon my childhood."
Stage 2 - Attack of the Clones:
"I still hate him even though these movies are absolutely gorgeous. Last 15 minutes were ok."
Stave 3 - Revenge of the Sith:
"Wow that was cool seeing all those early Darth Vader moments and... wha? no more? Noooooooooooooo! Make more! MAKE MORE"
If Jesus wants me it knows where to find me.
that in these sequels, the Ewoks will shoot first.

So are 1-3, didn't stop Lucas!
Don't think of it as a flame---it's more like an argument that does 3d6 fire damage
My guess is it'll go "up". That's the only place it can go, from these last three travesties of writing/directing.
Note to filmmakers of the future: bad dialog leads to anger, bad directing leads to hatred, shallow action sequences lead to suffering. Farming out a movie to a corporation of computer animators is a path to the dark side of filmmaking.
Star Wars VII: The Search for More Money
Job? I don't have time to get a job! Who will sit around and bitch about being broke and unemployed then?
I smell some hot Jar-Jar on Ewocks action.
Stooge 1 - Moe:
"You're holding the wrong end of your light saber, moron."
Stooge 2 - Larry:
"This isn't a light saber. Moron."
Stooge3 - Curly:
"Now THIS is using the force, Nyuk Nyuk Nyuk."
Stooge 3 1/2 - Shemp:
"I always knew they were gay."
STFU.
Seriously. How many times does Lucas get to kick us in the nuts before we finally decide enough is enough?
"He really didn't mean Episode 1&2, and especially Jar Jar. He really does love me. We deserved what we got from Ep 1&2"
Mod me down with all of your hatred and your journey towards the dark side will be complete!
I'm still waiting for Spaceballs 2: The Search for More Money to come out!
...those were made a long time ago.
Episode VII: The Ewok Adventure
Episode VIII: Ewoks: The Battle for Endor
Episode IX: Star Wars Holiday Special
LOL
Let's do X, XI, XII
then wait 10 years to do VII, VIII, IX
Two words: Chewbacca Defense.
Join the TWIT army now!
I thought it was Spaceballs 3: In Search for the Second Episode
Life is not for the lazy.
Hopefully, George Lucas will not destroy his own creation by cheapening it.
You're right, he would never do something cheap like allowing his characters to appear in diet pepsi commercials or something.
Doh!
"Nobody knows the age of the human race, but everybody agrees that it is old enough to know better." - Unknown
Because if there's one thing that George Lucas is known for, it's restraint and knowing when to stop, right?
I can't wait until he re-re-re-releases IV, V and VI with computer-aided wooden actors replacing everyone that wasn't Mark Hammil (whose acting was bad enough that Lucas probably won't want to change it.)
FreeBSD for the impatient.
Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to ???. ??? leads to...profit.
NNNNNNNNNNnooooooooooooooOoooooooooooOooooo *wave arms like a robotic monkey*
"Star Wars is a 20 Billion Dollar industry, all told, between movies, DVD, toys, merchandising tie-ins, commercials for those tie-ins, etc., etc., -- "
Don't forget about TIE Fighters.
Except that no lifespan has been defined for Jar jar's species They could live 30 years, or they could live 3000 years, though I think most fans would be in support of a short lifespan.
All misspellings and grammatical errors in the above post are intentional and part of my artistic expression.
In a way, you're right. Lucas should produce them. PRODUCE them. Not write, not direct - produce. He's a great producer. The rest... I'm not so sure about.
Wait a minute. Of course I'm sure.

Yes, Ben Affleck is slated to play Obi Wan Kenobi in the remake. Han Solo will be played by Commander Taco, and Linus Torvalds plays a cameo as a Finnish Wookie. Steve Balmer is the captain of the Death Star. Princess Leia will be played by Paris Hilton. You KNOW who Darl McBride will play. Excuse me now, I must go and have my head Roto-Rootered.
Steve Balmer is the captain of the Death Star.
That should read Steve Balmer is the Death Star.
I think you meant:

There are three kinds of people in this world: those that can count and those that can't
Episode I : The Phantom Penis
Episode II: Attack of the Boners
Episode III: Revenge of the Syphillis
Actually, it is going to be called Spaceballs 3: The Search for Spaceballs 2
Girls can't direct.
After RotJ, I can just imagine Ewoks with Jedi powers trying to mind-trick Wookie females into bed.
The day will be saved by the muppets.
Ugh.

He might be married. He intended to say 'girls can't direct anything entertaining'. Lots and lots of drama, very little action, no explosions.
That does not make sense.
The road to hell is paved with good intentions.
OTOH, retouching the movies every so often means that you can re-release them and get people to buy them. After all, have you seen Star Wars IV version 3.4.2 yet? It repatches the "Han Solo Shot First" bug.
Picard/Crusher?
...oh you mean Beverly.
No! Say it isn't so!
