I can't find the page at Cinescape but here's a write up about the story from
Movie Tab

Lucas has said he has an idea for a third Star Wars trilogy. It would be set about 88 years
before Episode I, would promptly feature Yoda and Lucas won't be directing.

Of course it's just an idea but considering Lucas has said he won't direct makes me
wonder if it just might happen.

Read Story

Bollocks, says I.
Also, I love "about 88 years". So nice and vague.

Now why would lucas go and do that?


$$$$$


I severely doubt this.

I doubt it will happen although it might be cool to see yoda kill a sith.

I don't really think there'd be much point to it. Who really cares what happened before Episode I? It's not all that important.

It is merely more rumors.........













And they are going to be around for at least the next 20 years, so we better get used to it.

Maybe I could see what I look like....

The more, the merrier. If they wanna make it, go ahead. We can always ignore it if it sucks.

And we would all go see it.

This new trilogy will feature prominently on just how the force decided to impregnate Shmi with Anakin. Thus all 9 films will be about Anakin.

From the earliest idea of a chosen one, to conception, to pregnancy, birth, early childhood, life as a toddler, up to Episode I where we meet him as a little boy, and...

you know the rest.

Seriously, how could this tie in at all with Anakin's story? I thought that was George Lucas' original vision for Star Wars. If this rumor has any truth to it at all, apparently that little green friend from Dagobah is what Star Wars is really all about.

Instead of a space scene, episode -3 should star off with Midichlorians penetrating the egg.......

LMAO... that is EXACTLY what I meant.

Look master shmi's fallopian tubes dead ahead

Not likely.....6 movies were dedicated to the rise, fall and redemption of Anakin Skywalker.....that is the story and the story has been told.

To Shmi or not to Shmi....

If any movies are to be made, it would be Episodes VII, VIII, IX

Why would he go negative in episode numbers?

Im sorry charlie plagueis i was having too much fun

I think it's real. There are so many lines in the Star Wars filmes that would work with a movie like that.

Darth Maul: At last we will reveal ourselves to the Jedi. At last we will have revenge.

Palpatine: I will not let this republic that has stood for a thousand years, be split in two.

Mace Windu: I do not think the sith could have returned without us knowing.

Ben Kenobi: For over a thousand generations the Jedi Knights were the guardiands of peace and justice in the old republic.

theres a few others. I can't think of them all at once.

I would love to know what you guys are talking about...

Well.. I hope there will be another trilogy, it could be great.

But as I know Lucas says that to make another trilogy it will take a long time and he don't want to do it. That's why he plans better to make this Tv serie for the next year 2006.

Is the TV series animated? Or with real actors?

real actors...
IE: something like Star Trek was.

Lucas says "The TV series, the animated TV series called 'Clone Wars' is about the clone wars. Some of it has been on the Cartoon Network, but we're making it into an actual half hour, 3D animation series, and the other one deals with minor characters. And the time period is between episode 3 and episode 4, that 20-year stretch, but the characters aren't any of the main characters that are in the movies."

Dark Horizons

Isn't this considered EU? And I get rapped for talking EU..

To be honest the ONLY other Star Wars film I would like to be seen made now is a film filling in the 20 or so year gap between ROTS and ANH. Of course that seems logically impossible because what would it be called? Episode 3.5?

Anyway the reason it seems like the best choice is because it would still involve the rise and fall of Vader, and as a SW fan I would be heartbroken to see 20 years of Vader's infamous life never be told on the silver screen.

If Lucas is writing it, then maybe it won't be considered official EU.

They couldnt involve any Sith becasue Yoda and the council said they had been gone for 1000 years in E1, or so they thought.

Return Of The Jedi was always the last chapter. As number nine, or as number six, it doesn't matter. It is over.

Roll on the TV show.

ONly if lucas isnt writing it, which he is doing regarding the tv shows, at first anyway

I am reminded of The Ewoks Adventrues and Caravan of Courage.

Do we want another one of those?

Hell yeah!

I don't know how Lucas could pull off a trilogy set before Episode I, but if he does decide to let Episode 0 be made, I would bet that it is for the purpose of strengthening everybody's least favorite episode... The Phantom Menace.

We shall see what happens.

My least favourite Episode was II. I quite enjoyed Episode I.

I think one of my biggest problems with I is the fact that Padme was ELECTED queen at 14 years old. How does that happen?

Republic Credits will do fine...

Dunno, but she wasn't the youngest ever, as she points out in II, so maybe they don't care about age.

You might as well ask yourself how Gungans happen, or how Palpatine/Sidious originted from there......face it, Naboo is one f****d up place to be during that period of it's history.

Gungans make ewoks look bad ass.

I have 250,000 Republic credits and 15,000 Trugets, which is money on Tatooine.

You know, if you do a one-quarte, second letter reverse anagram of Gungans Ewoks, that it comes up GeeeeekS???




hey, i'm in the choir.....

Episode II was an episode of CSPAN. No. CSPAN 2.

the last scene of the last movie in the trilogy should be a hardcore porn romp (ala team america) between Shmi Skywalker and the ghost of Darth Plaugies

I couldn't bear another trilogy where the first two movies suck. My old SW heart wouldn't be able to take it.

Hell yes...I'll take teddy bears over dumb ass geckos.

It would really suck, I mean why do we have to keep watching the timeline backwards?

It's not gonna happen...

What would he call them? Episodes -1, -2 and -3?

I would love to see VII VIII IX done, maybe I am alone here, but it would be nice to see the Jedi come back to glory again with Luke as head of the council and his kids as the new Jedi knights =) we saw the rise and fall of the darkside and now we need to the rise of the light side once again. I dont think it is really complete as it sits, sure Vader and the Emp fell but now what ? who is in charge now? who does the senate come back ? and who leads that? besides everyone knows that there was 12 books made and then it compacted to 9 books, if your gonna tell a story you dont stop 3/4 of the way through do ya.

It's complete dude. Vader and The Emperor fall, it's over.

Return Of The Jedi was the final chapter. It was going to be number nine, but became six.

Lucas has told the story. It's over.

What can he do now anyway? Star Wars is marketed on Vader. People expect Vader to there somewhere, either on the horizon on on the screen. That's why the prequels made sense to make.

What now? Have Luke turn to the darkside? Have the Empire Strike Back AGAIN? Emperor Clones? Leia as a Jedi? Oh and good luck finding actors that look just like Ford/Fisher/Hamill/Williams circa 1982.

It's about the Chosen One. He ends The Sith. Luke becoming a Sith would be super lame, it would defeat the point of the chosen one ending the Sith. It's over, done.

EU post-ROTJ is pretty crap. The interest is gone. The Empire will never be as much of a threat as it was in the OT, so why bother with the crappy remnant and second rate Sith Lords?

I don't think Lucas has to do trilogies if he wants to keep Star Wars going. With a trilogy, it is 10 years of his life, and he is not getting any younger, and sometimes there is not enough material for 3 movies. What happens, as with the prequels, are the first 2 movies become a setup for a big payoff in the third. That is why ROTS is so much better than TPM & AOTC, everything we wanted to see occurs in it.

I think Lucas could just do individual movies that are part of the Star Wars saga. It doesn't have to be Episode VII or Episode 0 or Episode III.5. You just make a movie called Star Wars: Triumph of the Republic, then you make 1 movie about Yoda vs. Darth Plaguis and a very young Darth Sidious and how the jedi took back the republic from the sith. There would be no setup, just one movie that gets to the point and has a beginning, middle, and end. That way it would be very interesting, have resolution, and then a couple years later, do a different subject about the Star Wars galaxy and you're not locked into any story. Remember, A New Hope at one time was a single movie, and that one did just fine!

You can stick a lightsaber in the trilgoy, it's done.

Lucas did indeed, say he did think about having a third trilogy 7-9. Where you see how Luke is training young to become Jedis. But they deicided not to and they never will. Unless Lucas's Great great great great great Grandson/daughter does 7-9 and though it may sound cool, would be idiotic and the death of the Trilogy.

Again... the biggest problem with having Episodes 7,8, and 9 is that you need a compelling villain. Without Vader or the Emperor, and the impossibility of the Sith returning (chosen one destroying the Sith), who would that be? (In Yoda voice) Hmmm? Hmmmm? Anyone?

Everyone's right. 7-9 would only kill what we love. There is no sith anymore, only those little wussy dark jedi (EU, I can't talk about it). But maybe he could turn the Jedi Acadamy trilogy into movies, or maybe the Young Jedi Knight series. Those I would watch.

And the hit threads just keep on coming.

JP!!! how ya doing babydoll

I wil rather see a trilogy based on The New Jedi Order after episode 6 to see what happened to the characters.

I have to agree doing a trilogy after Return of the Jedi wouldn't be anywhere near as good as going before, because there's no way I'd want to see Han, Luke or Leia get recasted with younger actors and that's what I'm afraid would happen.

After seeing Revenge of the Sith for a second time I'm more hungry for another trilogy.

doesnt "episode 7" take place during the jedi academy according to books with lukes son and han and leia's son as jedi's

Yes it does, and Luke and friends wouldnt be cast younger cause this would be 20 years later so they would be in thier 40's - 50's. It can be done and I bet people would come to this like they EIII, cause its star wars and you know we all want more.

I like the idea of them doing more Star Wars movies, not them acutally doing them.

Truth be told, the only good villains we could get out of another trilogy would be some dark Jedi (ooh, scary) or some remnants of the empire (i just pissed myself). It wouldn't be very compelling, but it would have Han.

There are book sequels, yes, but none of them, at least to my knowledge, are labeled as "episodes".

Here's a thought I had...

Even though Anakin does destroy the Sith in ROTJ, and the force is balanced, is there any reason to believe that it could not become unbalanced again? Is there anything that says the balance would be permanent?

You know... Return Of The Sith! LOL!!! But seriously... what if after the events of ROTJ, a dark jedi were to TRY to re-create the Sith order? Perhaps someday (many many years from now, Lucas will explore the idea of an episode 7 - but I'm not getting my hopes up )

Ive said it before and ill say it again, there will be more expisodes but not anythime soon anyways and for sure not directed by lucas. I know i want another film and i know most of you guys want to see more. What really bugs me is that people who bash others when they post a thread like this think they know it all. Just look at the facts, opening weekend profits was $300 million, why stop now.

Lucas has always seemed to have the attitude that if there's a demand for Star Wars will keep seeing more Star Wars. Taking a look at Sith in the box office and it's not hard to imagine why he might be persuaded to make more movies.

To give us a vision of the Star Wars universe of the distant past .
Personally I love the idea and hope he gets off his ass to produce them soon .... I ain't gettin' any younger .

Top Marks !!!

I don't think he will do 7,8,9 but here's what I would like to see:

20 years have past since ROTJ, now Luke is married with a kid, and Han & Leia are married and have 2 kids. You focus the sequel trilogy on the kids. That would make the whole saga of Star Wars about 3 generations of Skywalkers. You can still have Luke, Leia, and Han in it, but you focus on the kids and make them compelling enough where we love them as much as their parents.

For a bad guy, which you definitely need a cool one. I believe Lucas should have 2 villains this time, but they are not on each others side. The republic thinks they are working together like the sith do, but they both have different agendas. You have one villain who is loved, and leads his men by loyalty. You then have another villain, who leads by fear like Vader.

Lucas would definitely have to come up with a totally different story than the previous 6 films. You can't have another death star, or Luke turning the dark side. That would get repetitive, and I think people would start to lose interest. There are so many worlds that Lucas can make, and I'm sure if he sat down, and got the hunger back to make a great Star Wars Trilogy, he could write something that would blow our minds away! But as I said I just don't see it happening.

these murmurs of a new trilogy are indeed intruiging. the idea of another set of prequels about yoda and the jedi vs the sith sounds very cool. however if GL went with VII, VIII & IX & decided to base it on EU novels id much rather see timothy zahns "grand admiral thrawn" trilogy instead of the still very good "jedi academy" trilogy. grand admiral thrawn is a very cool bad guy

I would love to see a 7, 8 and 9 if they were done well.

I don't think that will happen because that would just spoil the 1st and 2nd Trilogy. I heven't yet seen the Revenge of the Sith yet but it is meant to be the best yet in the new trilogy. I think that episode 2 was a bit of a letdown to be honest. It was more of a love story thatn a classic that star wars has been well known for. The action did not start to kick in untill nearing the end of the film.

Probably the biggest reason Lucas has said there will be no more is that he is running out of ideas. Which face it... it is better for him to stop now before he does run out of ideas completely.

Sorry, we have been overloaded with threads like this over time. Similar threads can be found in the EU section, use those.
