Star Wars "SEQUALS"!

**N3R0** · 25th August 2004

Heard this on radio 1 and the cast also seem to have signed non-disclosures....

Star Wars creator George Lucas could be poised to make three sequels to the original space opera trilogy, according to insiders at Lucasfilm.

According to fan site Theforce.net, employees at Lucas's company Industrial Light and Magic have all been made to sign non-disclosure agreements to promise not to talk about the possibility of episode's seven, eight and nine being made.

Now industry insiders are predicting the director will make the follow-ups, which pick up where 1983's Return of the Jedi left off, despite insisting he would never be lured into filming them.

A posting on the site says, "You didn't hear this from me, but you might be curious as to why everyone at ILM just signed NDA's saying that they will not discuss Star Wars episodes 7, 8, or 9.

"Since they're not being made, why the NDA's? Of course, since when has Lucas been consistent?"

Now the only thing that could make this a cool thing is if they get Mark Hamil,Carrie Fisher and Harrison Ford on board....other than that i gaurantee it will be shiiite! :thumbs

Great thats all we need, more dodgy screenplays and special effects

Lets hope they never see the light of day.

this was widely discussed when episode 1 came out - and Lucas categorically said that there would not be any further sequels

maybe the lure of the cash has changed his mind

I dont think he needs to worry about cash!!! There were alot of sanctioned books which carried on the story after Return' but he has stuck to his guns on most things and I dont think he will do it...

So what if a number of his team have recently signed NDA's, doesnt mean it is to do with Star Wars... he might have another project in mind, perhaps even Indy 4?!

It was my understanding that he originally wrote all 9 parts to this, then made the middle three as they were the most technically feasible.

When talk started about the prequels being made i couldn't wait and hoped that he'd make the sequels as well.

Now, after having seen the two prequels, i couldn't give a flying monkeys whether he makes the last three, and personally i hope he doesn't.

What a complete waste of one of the greatest sets of films that could have ever been.

Hang on, he could have hired a whole "new" bunch of 8 year olds to write the new scripts....lets not condemn it yet...
