StarWars Episodes 7-8-9 ?

[ddraig]

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

great film that, one of my all time favourites.

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

Havent seen any of the originals unfortunately, but for clips..except for the Stonehenge one.

Dude, you owe it to yourself to find them at all costs! The Hammer ones were good in a cheesy 50s scifi sorta way but the original BBC versions were genuinely scary and incredibly atmospheric, real landmark television productions. Unfortunately the tapes of the original Quatermass Experiment have been lost but you can still get Quatermass 2 and Quatermass & The Pit on DVD from BBC Worldwide.

It should, however, be pointed out that you should avoid the recent (2006) BBC remake of the Quatermass Experiment at all costs, complete bloody waste of time and money. Instead, see if you can find A For Andromeda or Random Quest instead, both cracking shows.

thanks man. yeah thats too bad about the original, that depressed me almost as much as finding out the source code to Blood had been lost.

anywayz back to Star Wars, I'd be interested to see what came out with 7,8 & 9 especially if it is produced with HBO. The only thing I have been watching on TV anymore (well downloading ) is their current Rome series which is head & shoulders above anything the other networks have on over here (HBO's extras & curb your enthusiasm notwithstanding).

This could, if true be very exciting.

No. It really couldn't.

I thought the plans for episode 7, 8 and 9 were common knowledge. I've heard from pretty reliable sources that he will begin filming them in 2015 and that they will be starring the original cast.

[TFO]

Pretty much all the cast are still alive.
Except for Sir Alec and he was kinda killed off anyway.

So why not? Set it 30 years after the Return of the Jedi - job done.

I thought the plans for episode 7, 8 and 9 were common knowledge.

That's right. The outlines (and I think books) were written about them.

Luke goes to the dark side, and eventually comes back to the good side. Solo and Leia marry and have many children who become Jedi's (through Leia's blood). That's about all I know about it.

Of course there were a ton of non-Lucas books written about the events after Episode 6. The Boba Fett trilogy-of-books which occurred after episode 6 (yeah, he didn't die) were QUITE good.

Someone told me that Lucas didn't want anything written about what happened after 6, and wanted Fett dead, but liked these books (and others) so much that he let that slip.

The idea that mini-series continuing the saga will be created. Also, by 20XX, I'm sure they could make 7 8 and 9 completely out of CG using the original actors, as they're a bit too old to play the parts anymore (without heavy use of photoshopping skills - like that scene in X-Men 3 with Picard as a young lad).

Nobody is forcing you to watch anything he or anyone else produces in the future. Let him do what he wants.

[Istar]

I'd pay money to see Timothy Zahns' "Heir to the Empire" trilogy on the big screen.

[Darkflame]

I really hope there is new star wars films.

Even before eppisode 1 was released, there was an interview were Lucas talked of a "trillogy of trillogys".

Think it will depend on the success of the tv series.



For the record, I get quite sick of Lucas-bashing.
Sure, 1,2,3 arnt as good as 4,5,6.
Big bloody deal.

Personaly, I still found them perfectly enjoyable films, if a bit patchy. The whole thing has been overhyped beyond belief.

Lucas still has one of the most amazing sci-fi imaginations in the industary, and visualy his work is amongst the best, most heavily realised fantasy depictions.

I look forward to more Star Wars, no mater what form it takes.



That said...
...I do wish the industary did a high-budget mini-series based on Asimovs Foundation

[GrapeApe]

Screw $tar War$, I want Howard the Duck 2.Howard done right.

[Jamesac]

I want The Iron Giant 2, but nobody listens to me.

[Viscount Charles]

Hang on - wasn't Lucas saying it was just going to be episodes 1-6, and that was IT, not so very long ago? I thought that he'd been at pains to distance himself from all the stories that Star Wars was originally conceived as a saga in 9 parts, and was busy telling anyone who would listen that the story was complete at the end of Jedi?

Or am I misremembering?

[PeeknPoke Lee]

its all wishful thinking

heres the official plan:

No - no 7-8-9 episodes thats ya lot - so lucasfilm says. Lucas said no way, yet the fans still start rumours.

Yes - 3D versions of the original films should start to appear this year, it is the 30th aniversary of Star Wars

Yes - TV series still on for 2008

I love me Star Wars, me
