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?"
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.
Join the TWIT army now!
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.

"I always knew they were gay."
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
Let's do X, XI, XII
then wait 10 years to do VII, VIII, IX
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.

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.

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.
Girls can't direct.
I assume your not married...

He might be married. He intended to say 'girls can't direct anything entertaining'. Lots and lots of drama, very little action, no explosions.
