But I have no interest in SW anymore, because I finally realized after Episode III that I was naive to think that Lucas could put out anything in the quality of Star Wars or Empire. I realized that Star Wars really jumped the shark in 1983, as it started with Jedi. It has alot of sentimental value to me, and a few great scenes, so I can live with that as the final leg of the Original Triloy. Everything since then, IMO, has been shit, so I'm not stupid to think that Lucas is going to give us something good or great.
The only fun thing of Star Wars anymore is arguing with Fanboys who defend the PT :) My point was that if it's just a 2 hour movie, you'll watch (maybe YOU won't but the majority of peole who say they won't are fooling themselves). There's no commitment beyond that; unlike a tv show that gets fleshed out over weeks / months. It's also ironic that people are posting in this thread but claim to have no interest in the SW universe anymore. I say bring on the movies but I have reserved expectations. I'll watch them but I've also watched Kitty Galore and both Alvin and the Chipmunk movies in the last two years too; I suspect anything Lucas does should be better than those movies :) |

I think people have been burned too many times, and most people like me have lost hope that any future movie will be ESB quality. Trust me, I remember in the spring of 2005 telling my friends, "Episode III will be as great as ESB, this is the one Lucas will get right." I wont make that mistake again, because I know he can't pull it off. |
Re: Star Wars SEQUELS Rumored!
Wasn't this rumored a long time ago. I remember hearing bout this before the prequels even came out.
My only hope is that he doesn't write them, which likely won't happen. |
Re: Star Wars SEQUELS Rumored!
I'm disappointed we'll now have to wait a little bit longer to see those "small, personal" movies Lucas promised after Episode III. :(

Re: Star Wars SEQUELS Rumored!
This report was pretty accurate. Hope Luke and the others aren't completely absent as it indicates, though.

Episodes 7, 8 and 9 were rumored a LONG time ago, but never seriously. And there were no rumors of episodes beyond that that I can recall.
The best things is now George can't change them anymore. Maybe now they'll do an original OT |

I love quotes like this. As if EVERYONE replying on this thread wouldn't watch the movies if only to judge how shitty they are and say "I told you so!"... come on, SW is one of, if not THE most polarizing movie franchise of all time and we'd all see it either at the theaters or on DVD / digital media. But don't say you have no interest if so and so is writing/directing/grip boy.

Re: Star Wars SEQUELS Rumored!
Damn, just re-read the first post and IESB nailed it. Lucas must have really had these plans in his back pocket for years.

Re: Star Wars SEQUELS Rumored!
Ha! I forgot all about this post. In hindsight the Disney deal makes perfect sense though.
I'm going to just say we have three periods of Star Wars now. 77-85, 91-2012, and now '12-? |
