Aside from the obscene amounts of money involved, the way lucas left so many mysteries in EPIII leads me to beleive two possibilies.

the main mysteries i speak of revolve around darth plageus, sifo dyas, qui-gon jinn, and anakins birth. there is no good reason, from a movie-making point of view to RAISE NEW QUESTIONS in episode III without answering them, let alone answer the question around who sifo dyas is in EPII. sure, it could be explained in a book, but great movies dont leave the books for explainations.

Here are the 3 possibilities:

1. Lucas plans on atleast 3 more movies. they would be set before episode I.


2. Lucas plans on creating "ultimate editions" of all 6 movies and re-releasing them in theatres at some point in the future. He would do small things to make the movies more interconnected, but mainly, he would add scenes in episodes II, and IV-VI which answer the questions around sifo-dyas, qui-gon jinn, darth plageus, and anakins birth.


in my opinion, #3 is the only real possiblity. from a continuity standpoint EPII is awkward b/c you saw sidious all throughout EPI and III, but he's absent until the end of EPII. it doesnt make sense. then, if the saga is really about ANAKIN SKYWALKER, not luke, we need ALOT more scenes of vader and the emperor in episodes IV-VI.

this would be really easy. you can stick anyone in a vader suit, and ian mcdirmid has aged and can play an EPIV-VI emperor easily. we already got a taste of this in the ESB DVD with the additional vader/emperor conversation.

but whatever lucas does, star wars is not over, there are new MOVIE experiences to come.

i shall agree

i hope ur right. i would actually prefer seeing either more footage in ep I-VI and making the movies how lucas really wants them without worrying about time. make them 4 hours long for all the fans. i would like to see that or a pre prequel. like seeing plagesis and qui gon in more action or something of that sort. it'd be interesting.

...what?

What questions?

sifo dyas was already answered wasnt it ?

i hope so as well..but i dunno

Peter Jackson has royally messed up the movie industry!!!!!!!I cannot believe that people think that Lucas isn't done with this! Just accept the fact that if you want more Star Wars, you will either have to read a book, wacth the tv shows, or watch the movies. There is going to be a extened director's cut like LotR! What youhave see is what it is....no more no less

dealwatjins: im sure you like to make money, think about this for a sec, who in the right mind would put on the shelf a phenom that makes $300 million in one weekend? If i was the owner of FOX, i would make sure that i suck as much money out of it and give the people what they want.

FYI.....I do not work....i have no need to....I am not rich...Money means nothing to me.....However, What I bring in I spend on stuff that I need, and what is left over i spend on little things that makes me happy. Now with that said i wouldn't know what it would be like to own a company that makes that much money. But what i do know is that Star wars has been apart of my life since I was little. I am as die hard a fan as they come, but I can also accept the fact that what Lucas has put out on film and what he has changed is a great piece of work. If you what to talk about money, why would he what to go through the hassle of making another movie, or 3, when he can have someone write a book or put it on tv and still make billions. He did that for twenty some odd years before making the PT. Talk about 4hr long dvds and ultimate editions is just absurd. Peter Jackson has made people what more from a movie that can be allowed. LotR was the exception because it tried to stay true to the book. Star wars isn't like that. Get over it Lucas is done.

nah.

In 20 years or so after Lucas is gone, I think his kids might ultimately be interested in possibly adding to the franchise with more films. Will this actually happen? I guess we will have to wait those 20+ plus years before we find out.

You DO NOT know, like the other one said.. only time will tell.

No i'm pretty sure the man is done with movies....

how many times does lucas have to say NO MORE MOVIES?

I'm happy with the 6 movies, and if he made more of them, they would suck. What would it be about, EP7 - , be about, Leia and Luke fighting more sith which would than have the same ending as EP3. or before Ep1, it would be like wow, so thats how Palpatine was created. (which is basically all it would be) Anyway, if lucas did anymore movies he;d be too old cause it still would have to write new ones and stuff.

Anyway, I'm glad we at least had star wars to begin with. Imagine if there was no George Lucas, we would all be loving LOTR, cause thats all there is (although I think LOTR is ok, but nothing compared to SW)

Star Wars is finished as far as the movies go...

And that comes strait from Lucas. He also said that he dosent plan on releasing extended versions as Lord of the Rings did.

He is finished with Star Wars as far as the movies. But there is room in the TV series that is coming! So maybe we get some info there.


But the movies are what they are.... The only legitemate continuity!

no more movies, end of disbute!!

He said a lot of things

I just hope he takes Starwars to his grave. Dont want no retard in the future making more star wars movies, killing it somehow.

Greed is a very powerful thing. Do i think GEORGE Lucas will make a new movie no i dont. Do i think another Lucas or someone completely different will re new star wars cinema, yes but anyone alive for the original release of a new hope probably wont see it. By that i mean theyll have passed on by that time.

If theres money to cash in on in the future itll happen but to far in the future to see who or when itll happen.
