yeah, right, and nathalie will appear in ROTJ like said 😉
No, just that it's cheaper to sign someone to a six picture deal for three films that never get made than to wait and pay the actors much more money. There is normally a time limit, but the actor is still contracted for any future films at the agreed price. The point is that even if the Mayhew story is true, it's just to lock in his salary if the sequels are ever made. It does NOT mean that Lucas is even considering doing another trilogy.

But wait, all you guys are forgetting the the self proclaimed greatest Star Wars fan of all time, Lord Mickey Suttle himself is going to make episodes 7-9 in cooperation with his bestest buddy in the whole world Gearge Lucas. 😆 😆 😆 😆
is this guy also known as super shadow
Ok, here's EVERYTHING TheForce.net has to say about it:
Jon Parton sends us this update to an earlier story about the Star Wars sequels being made.
Tonight, Ahmed Best was being interviewed on a local radio station (96.5 The Buzz in Kansas City). I didn't hear the whole thing, but the dj asked Ahmet about Episodes 7, 8, and 9. Ahmet said he couldn't say anything about them. He didn't deny anything, just saying that he was under contract and couldn't talk about it. Don't know if it's newsworthy or not, but there you go.
Peter Mahyew denies the original report on his official website where says the following according to a news tip from M. Kryger:
Hi, Well, that's very interesting, but no, it's not true about Ep's 7, 8 and 9....don't know where the guy got that one...but yes, I'll be in Ep III for sure.....thanks for the email... and Cheers, Peter
Then AICN is posting rumors about Lucasfilm cutting deals until 2012 and special effects wings staffing up:
Pacific Title employees working at Skywalker Ranch have just signed new contracts to run until 2012. Pacific Title are an optical and digital effects production company and the extended contacts are a carry over from their work on Episode II & III.
Obi_Shawn_Kenobi sends us this report from Canada, who probably just took the lead from our story about Hot Dog but still it hit the mainstream there:
I was just watching "The Stars Tonight" on a local television station in Toronto. This is the Entertainment News segment of the 6 o clock news on channel 8 here in Toronto. They mentioned that Peter Mayhew has signed and has said that he signed a contract for a Episodes 7, 8, and 9! This would help validate your previous story that you though might be just a big rumour.
Troy gives TFN visitors to watch it here.
And finally, Wolvskar sends us this note from the latest issue of the Star Wars Insider. This is Mark Hamill talking about the sequel trilogy:"I knew they were going to be about other characters with a possiblity of my doing a cameo in the ninth one."
We called Lucasfilm, but Jeanie Cole in publicity left the company recently so we're working on who to speak with next to try to get a straight answer. And we're hearing about a wish list of directors, too. Including Steven Spielberg, who is also connected to Episode III in some specific way, believe it or not.

you didn't post everything from it, when I read itbut Mark Hamill and Peter (the one that plays chuwie, always forget his last name) stated that there will be NO sequels what so ever, not with them nor with any one else
That's the news post copied directly and unedited, fool. All Peter has said is that email that's in there, and Hamill has never said one way or another. (How would he know?) No one, in fact, has said there will be NO sequels since this rumor came out.
Remember Yers, you're not always right. 😉
