well in 5 days Revenge of the Sith has brought in $300 million bucks worldwide.I don't see the end in sight for a long time..after all last year Lucasfilm extended their license with hasbro until 2017. I for one am all for it. We really don't have alot to look forward to in the movies besides the hit and miss Marvel movies..which I am not a big fan of anyway.

Uncle George Keen on New Star Wars Prequel?
Cinescape is reporting a rumor that was sent to them by one of their scoopers. In short Uncle George wants another prequel prior to Menace. But is there any truth to these rumors?
I had to once again call our "sources" at the Ranch to see if there has been any talk about other "prequels". Our contacts have been dead on regarding the Star Wars TV series including the fact that it was two and not just one and that there was plans for animated and live action. So what about another batch of films?
"Lucasfilm is concentrating on both the live action and animated TV series and there is currently no official work or talk on other films," said one of our sources. The key word was "official", so what about unofficial talk about other films? "Plenty of it," says our contact.
The belief over at Lucasfilm is that the Star Wars TV series will spawn off a whole new batch of films. Not just new trilogies but it could be just a stand alone film from a certain storyline.
What timeline? They know that the main storyline for the TV series will take place between Sith and New Hope but there is talk that there will be flashback episodes/scenes that will take us back 800 to 1000 years before the Skywalkers.
Our earlier reports that any actor that becomes involved in the TV series will have their contracts option for films is dead on according to our sources.According to one of our others contacts at 20th Century Fox who prefers to remain anonymous believes that Fox is expected to start applying pressure on Lucasfilm to agree to have more films made in the not so distant future. "With the amazing opening weekend that Sith has has had there is no doubt that we are barely tapping the ice burg that Star Wars truly is" said our contact.
One question does remain, how much pressure can a distributor apply to a completely independent filmmaker such as Lucasfilm? Not much but they can definitely try.
