there never has been scripments for 9 starwars chapters
actually the 1977 starwars movie didnt have "chapter IV" at the beginning, the 9 chaptes where kind of a vague idea gl had of how he wanted to create his universe, after making the first one he had the money to do the next and so on. remember he didnt do any movie after the indiana jones series which he didnt even direct, he only produced movies acter ROTJ. If it took him 20 years to do the prequels (well he waited for technology also) which take him to do 3 years each, that means 9 constant working years spent in prequels.
if i work one month straight i wanna rest 3 months. look at him he is kinda old he is pretty fulfilled with his universe he is a billioner he has proven that he is the master of creating movie sagas and holding box office records. what else would he want?
he aint gonna spend another 10 years making movies i dont think so. and i dont think anyone else will want to take his empire and make more movies for the respect everyone in the business has for him. after 2005 no more starwars my friends. just expanded universe i believe.
Originally Lucas outlined 9 chapters to the Star Wars saga. The first three were done to establish a background to A New Hope, so that it would be easier to write and direct. The last three were mere scribbles, Lucas never finished them in any significant way.
When Lucas decided on filming the first three chapters, he granted permission to authors to publish novels about the post ROTJ Star Wars universe. He has no plans for Star Wars beyond chapters 1-6.
Remember, Lucas is an old man and so are many of the people who he works on Star Wars with. And he hasn't exactly been aging like wine...ever since ROTJ the his films have sucked. One can only imagine how horrible chapters 7-9 would be if he actually filmed them. Undoubtedly he would create a race more cutesy and ridiculous than the Ewoks, represented by a character more obnoxious than Jar Jar Binks. Need I say more?
"Meesa not writin' the lassa chaptas, meesa too old to be playin' directa and stuffa lika thata. Meesa go ka ka, and poo poo, and pee pee all ova meesa selfa!"

No, but his character ruined an already mediocre movie. In 80% of the scenes with Jar Jar, there was absolutely no reason for the character to be in them. There is no reason for Qui-Gon to let Jar Jar follow him all over Tattoine, except that ILM created a CGI character, and Lucas was going to use that character, damn it!
Without Jar Jar, TPM would have been far better movie, there is no denying that. And without Jar Jar, Lucas would have had extra time to be used towards developing other characters and expanding some of the important scenes that lacked focus.
Too bad about Jar Jar being in AOTC...I guess that character is going to drag down that movie as well. Hopefully reports about him being in only a few scenes are correct, but I'm not optimistic.

I am not necessarily disagreeing with you, yerss, but "life-dept" doesn't ring any bells with me...
Oh, hang on. Life debt! I just got that. Ahem. Well, what I think BF means was that there was no reason for Jar-Jar in a FILMMAKING sense, not a PLOT sense. Obviously, plot-wise they can make up any reason at all. BF was questioning the point of having him in the story in the first place.
Mind you, this is one of those things that is better looked at in the context in the trilogy as a whole.
Personally I didn't mind Jar-Jar at all.
If you even TRIED to get info about AOTC you would know that his role in AOTC is small but tremandous important!
Odd that you assume I don't know the rumors of Jar Jar's appearances in AOTC. But of course when a person is wrong about something, they sometimes resort to personal insults, as you are doing. I'll say this much, Jar Jar's role doesn't have to be important, ANYONE could do what he is rumored to do in the Senate. Even a Wookie to do it! Although it is nice that Lucas makes Jar Jar indirectly responsible for the creation of a dictatorial Republic. Ha! Still, if Lucas really wanted to do justice to the character of Jar Jar, then at the assassination attempt of Senator Amidala, Jar Jar would die a slow, bloody death. It would be great if a ship was damaged and fell on top of Jar Jar, then Obi Wan force lifted the ship to reveal a bloody mess of Gungan carnage that used to be Jar Jar Binks. He could save an ear for memories sake!
Yerssot, you are clearly biased in favor of Jar Jar for some reason. Sometimes fans invest too much personal emotion into a series, so much that they lose sense of the quality of the material. It seems that you have fallen into such a trap. The character of Jar Jar Binks has few redeeming qualities, and ANY person with an objective mind would conclude the obvious: Jar Jar Binks' character sucks. It is a horrific use of CGI in a movie, with terrible lines, bad humor, and NO PURPOSE, other than to annoy the audience and make them want to leave the theater.
Lucas could have written a much better script for TPM if he had left Jar Jar Binks out of it. Any reasonable person can see that, why can't you?
