Episode 1 was ruined for me because it was overhyped. I'll let this one pass me by. Apart from that, cool. We can always do with more scifi on the silver screen.

I hope that Lucas don't make those

Well, he can fund and produce it, but he should keep his filthy semen-drenched hands off the script. If they are going to actually shoot these horrible, horrible abortions of a film, they must first feed Lucas locusts and strychnine, so he does not have a chance to fill the sequels with the most horribly boring and stupid drama.

Well, I'm not really, really passionate about Star Wars - the original were pretty nice sci-fi flicks, which had nice crude industrial look and often pretty sharp and simple dialogue. I liked them and they were original.

The sequels, on the other hand, were just horrible - I've seen rocks that act better than some of the actors in new movies, the dialogue appears to be written by someone who makes plots for porn films and apparently production team went completely insane as soon as they got ZOMG COMPUTARS!! and filled everything with MS Paint -level CG.

Add Lucas' asshole attitude and you have the basic reasons why ~every sci-fi fan absolutely detests the man nowadays.

Lucas has repeatedly stated that Episodes 7-9 won't be turned into films....which is good

[Bobboau]

he also said the prequills wouldn't suck.

Whether a film sucks or not depends on subjective opinions. Having 7, 8, and 9 done are objective. The original actors are too old for their roles by now. I am not pretty sure, but there is an at most ten year gap between the Battle of Endor and the Heir of the Empire(Ep. 7). I haven't read the after-Endor trilogy yet, they are simply too long for me. . What may be a detterent is that the events of Ep 7, 8 and 9 are well-known. You did not know anything when you sat into the cinema to see Episode 1, 2 and you will sit into the cinema chair without any knowledge about the events. Unless you visit the www.theforce.net 's spolier forums.
As I said I do not know the events of the Thrawn trilogy(I am ashamed of it, by the way), but as far as I know, Obi Wan's spirit reappears in one of the Episodes, which would be impossible to film since Alec Guiness died since then.

only the films are cannon acording to lucas, so the final three films could take place any arbitrary amount of time after ROTJ and include any arbitrary number of unnessisary cartoon charicters

It says harrisson signed, but did it say anywhere that hammill is under contract?

[Sandwich]

I cannot imagine this having any validity whatsoever, for one reason: Carrie Fisher. She's become - last I saw - rather rotund. I heavily doubt Lucas would allow Princess Leia to balloon out in such a manner.

[J3Vr6]

Ever heard of slimfast and forcing gym upon her?

what the hell else is he going to do?
its not like Lucas has to worry about him getting other commitments in the mean time. I mean parts in videogames next to worn out pron stars don't come along every day

[Lt.Cannonfodder]

I thought Lucas was planning on making the sequels as a tv-series. This is good if you are doing Band of Brothers quality, but most likely we'd end up with something like the Clone Wars cartoon

[Flipside]

The Pension of the Jedi!

What they should have done, imho, is get a whole new group of unknown actors together, and carried on the story from the Han and Leia's childrens point of view, whilst most of the rest of the cast play token roles

no making fun of wing commander

(but who the hell was that playing rachel?)

[Bobboau]

Ginger Lynn, probly one of the most... proficent porn stars of all time, was realy.. popular... in the mid 80s.

and I'm not meanting to make fun of it, but going from hero of one of the biggest blockbusters of all time, to, well, working with porn stars on a video game, it's not a step up, I supose I could also mention "The Gyver" or what ever that horable move was. the point being he isn't exactly in demand these days

[J3Vr6]

u forgot cartoon voice overs and comic books...

Everything on www.starwars.com is canon and official. And the Thrawn trilogy is also canon.
