9 Star Wars flicks?!?

[MrBishop]

OK...so I heard a rumor, then I checked a bit and this rumour's getting wings.

Anyone hear about this?

Lucas also told me that he and Lord of the Rings director Peter Jackson have become good friends, commiserating with each other in Australia and New Zealand on their shoots about making their two series. "Essentially, Peter is making three three-hour movies out of one book," Lucas said. "And I'm making nine two-hour movies from one book." Of course, Lucas wrote his own book, but the mythology harkens back to Lord of the Rings. "We discuss it a lot because they are similar in nature," said Lucas.

There were always 9 Bish. Where ya been, under a rock? (Oh yeah, Canada. )

 

[freako104]

the last three to my understanding are not to be made but yes there are 9 total actual movies.

 

[MrBishop]

9! Damn...smack me with a pocket-protector and call me Betsy!

I feel like a geek-wannabe who didn't get asked to the SciFi prom

 

[HomeLAN]

*WHACK*

Betsy.

"And I'm making nine two-hour movies from one book."

It was my understanding that the last 3 were not going to be produced, but no doubt that's a hint in the opposite direction.

Guess he needs even more money...

 

[IDLEchild]

Despite dismal reviews each movie makes hordes and hordes of cash....is anyone really surprised there might be more of them.

Isn't he getting a bit too old to be worrying about producing the 3 three 'sequels'?

If he does, I hope Thrawn's in them.

Admiral Thrawn is a complete knee-biter. I prefer 'The Emporer's Hand', myself...Ms Jade...

In "Oath of Fealty" by Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle, A reference is made to "Star Wars 26" or something like that (I don't remember the actual number and I'm too lazy to go get the book).

I just remembered something I heard about Harry Potter. As long as it keeps making money, we'll be able to look forward to "Harry Potter and the Midlife Crisis."

the last rumors i had heard was that lucas was actually writing the first 6 movies and then he was turning the reigns over to someone else to write the last 3. but im sure he will be involved in the producing arena.

Oh please, and what does that make Mara Jade? An ankle biter?

As long as he isn't the director...

 

[freako104]

Yeah, and he also directed phantom menace and return of the clones. need i say more??

 

[paul_valaru]

well the latest rumor fromthe force.net is that employees of lucas had to sign a NDA (non-disclosure agreement) about the episiodes 7-9....why sign if your not making them?

 

[AlladinSane]

By what I heard of the storyline I bet these last 3 IF they come out will be very boring...

 

[PT]

It'll be Luke, Lea, and Han lounging about some planet having an incestual threeway for about 6 hours.

 

[AlladinSane]

Well, at least it will get better reviews
