StarWars Episodes 7-8-9 ?

from http://www.theforce.net

Mr Lucas was overheard by an associate of mine at a private party in Los Angeles discussing the use of new digital technology. He mentioned, a Star Wars Series, between Episodes VI-VII possibly with HBO. Also, Star Wars, Episodes VII - IX and a probable new director were discussed.

This could, if true be very exciting. Now, those who do follow the SW movies have kinda always been lead to believe that there will be 9 films, George Lucas himself said that he needed 9 films in which to tell his story... but was able to do it in 6.

The question then is what 'might' the story follow in 3 further episodes? Luke's rumoured turn to the dark side in a plot to finally destroy all sith, the twins of Han and Leia coming to the rescue? Splinter sith yet to be announced?

What is for sure is that IF there is to be 3 more movies we wont actually see the first one for at least 3 - 4 years.

Until then ... those of us who are interested can start dreaming ...

Well, there's a new Rocky film, so why not?

Will they be good though?

There was some talk of that spin-off series a while back, something on TV. Apparently/allegedly Harrison Ford was approached to feature in it and turned it down saying he'd rather do Indy IV for the same money ($20m was what istr reading).

I care if it's good. Didn't care so much about the new films (still ain't watched Nooooo, aka Something to do with the Sith, alhtough I hear it's alright), but if they're good films in their own right then I'll be happy. I like Sci Fi that's decent. I doubt it'll be good though, but maybe... maybe.

Lucas should digitise the bastard!

but then again he would probably charge the same amount for his likeness.

Speaking of scifi that's decent, alt.binaries.dvd.midnightmovies and alt.binaries.multimedia.scifi have been on a roll this last week or two, I've got the following classics sat waiting to be burned to DVDR:

Teens From Outer Space
Killers From Space
Invaders From Mars
Invisible Invaders
Devil Girl From Mars
The Phantom Planet
It Came From Outer Space

...and I've still got to get around to watching the beautifully remastered 50th anniversary edition of Forbidden Planet I got for Chrimbo.

I need a week off work to get my 50s scifi fix!

If Lucas doesnt write and direct them then we could be onto a winner, they'll either be prequels to the prequel-sequels or sequels to the not-prequels...get me??

The Hammer remake of Quatermass & The Pit went up a few weeks back, too, so you'll probably want to add that to your list

Hmm...I wouldn't go that far...it's not a patch off the BBC original!

If he makes 7,8 and 9 that means he can release another boxed set and possibly retcon 4, 5 and 6 to fit in with whatever the new movies add.
