However, If he does make them, I just hope Lucas doesn't die in the middle of making it and having some other guy take over and screw everything up!

If they borrow from any of the books -- the ones that have been made official Lucas "Canon" -- then you'll get some pretty interesting characters all the same. Chewbacca could come back, but more importantly they could bring in Lobacca, Chewie's nephew and the first Wookie Jedi ever. Even if they're using all-new characters it'd be easy to make 'em instantly likable. Provided Lucas doesn't write it over the weekend like Phantom Menace.

Of course. Problem is that Lucas would never use that material because the audience would know immediately that he didn't write it.

Well, there are BOOKS already out about their children, but they are NOT written by George Lucas.


As much as I love Star Wars... quit while ahead should be the name of the game.

I believe one of his children had a bit part in Episode III.

EDIT: Turns out he is George Lucas' adopted son, and was one of the young Jedi kids in Episode II and III. Jett Lucas

The will be made. Either Lucas will run out of money (unlikely considering he probably makes a tidy living on royalties alone) and decide to shake the Star Wars piggy bank a few more times, or after Lucas passes on, someone will decide to finish the story....and hopefully redo the first three episodes.

EP 1 -6 were a single story with a common thread throughout. Darth Sidius and his protege Vader are dead in EP6 - ROTJ. What's more to tell? It would have to be another story with a few new characters, unless they try to say the Emperor didn't die in his fall.

Go to Starwars.com and check the Expanded Universe BIO on Palpatine. It will spoil some things if you ever plan on reading the books or comics.

i thought i read on dark horizons that they were planning on putting the next series onto tv rather than at the cinema, like doing a mini series.

That's from the Dark Horse comics. The Emperor is reborn and Luke goes to the dark side and Leia has to rescue him. Then the Emperor tries to posses Leias unborn son.

For who ever said FU to the EU, learn to read. The books are far more entertaining that any of the crap Lucas has put out lately.

Plus, even if they just did the Rogue Squadron series that would be cool. Wedge ended up being one of my favorite characters

George Lucas will not make any more films. Unless he changes his mind. Given that he is a self-absorbed fading talent guy, I'd say he won't change his mind. He wants to go and make "real movies" apparently. Stuff like intellectual science fiction. Unfortunately I think he's lost all of the ability to make such films at this point in his life.

What will happen is that someone will inherit the franchise when he dies and make more movies which totally disagrace the franchise to a degree that Ep 1 will look great. This pretty much always happens with sci fi franchises.

The zahn trilogy was better than the dune EU by the herbert family, but that's not saying much. I for one felt that it went in a direction that was not true to the spirit of the films, in that they went away from adventure and the "romance" style.

Oops I actually quoted the wrong post.

But yeah, Zhan is the man. Hell if they started with the Vong invasion they could use the real actors. It takes place 25 years after ROTJ.

It'd be hilarious if they were willing.
I immediately thought of what Mark Hamill looked like in Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back.

We need Obi-Wan to come back and say "Luke, use the force to lose weight."

Actually there ends up being a lot more fighting. The empire just doesn't collapse overnight. They Grand Moffs start fighting for control of the star systems they are currently governing. Then in Zhan's book, Grand Admiral Thrawn comes in and with the help of a slightly mad (as in insane) cloned Jedi (in the books the clone was consisted of cloned Jedi killing off the real ones) and makes all sorts of trouble.
