I actually planned a pretty lame Star Wars 7 after all 6 films in 2008 (including the prequels we can speak of, SR!) It was called Star Wars Galaxy G5: Part 1). Basically, Darth Vader is avenged by a rebel, and Princess Leia’s daughter escapes and unfreezes Han Solo (Kurt Russell). Then, Jon Skywalker, the Princess, Han Solo, and a Wookiee who speaks fluent English travel to the planet Goofball in Galaxy G5 to protect the royal king and queen (Forest Whitaker and Lake Bell).

Sounds more like “Spaceballs 2″, right? Oh, what is meesa saying? (Don’t kill me for saying that.)

I want to see Episodes 7,8 and 9 because:

1.I want to see Mark Hamill back as an older,wiser Luke Skywalker traning a new generation of Jedi Knights like in the novels. But I want to hear it from Lucas’ point of view.

2.I want to see the grandchildren of Anakin/Darth:Ben Skywalker,Jacen and Jaina and Allana Solo as Jedi Knights perhaps inheriting the Millennium Falcon from their father/grandfather Han Solo.

3.I want to see the Jedi Order and the Republic/Galaxy rebuilt under Luke,Han and Leia and the state of the galaxy after the death of the Emporer and Vader.

4.I want to see the original cast back:Mark Hamill back as an older,wiser Luke as a Jedi Master having new adventures and facing new dangers,Harrison Ford donning Han Solo’s vest and flying the Falcon once again and Carrie Fisher as Jedi Knight Princess Leia.

5.To see the Millennium Falcon fly all over the galaxy and jumpin through hyperspace on the big screen again and this time show the hyperspace effect again. (I was pissed there was no hyperspace effect in the prequels).

6.For the Galaxy and our heroes to face new enemies:Lumiya,Yuzzhan Vong,Shadowspawn/Blackhole,Grand Admiral Thrawn,Imperial Remnants,Space Pirates or dangers lurking in the Unknown Regions,Wild Space or the Coporate Sector.

7.It’s too damn much of an interesting saga to end only at Episode 6.
Episodes VII,VIII and IX AND THE RETURN OF LUKE SKYWALKER AND HIS FURTHER ADVENTURES AS A JEDI KNIGHT/JEDI MASTER PASSING ON WHAT HE HAD LEARNED IS A BIG BIG BIG BIG MUST!!!!!!!

After all didn’t Lucas once say that the sequel trilogy was to be about Jedi Knighthood,Justice,Confrontation and PASSING ON WHAT YOU HAVE LEARNED as were Yoda’s dying words? LUCAS FOR THE LOVE OF GOD PLEASE RECONSIDER DO EPISODES VII-IX IN BEAUTIFUL CGI! PLEASE PRETTY PLEEEEEASE!!!!!

What are you guys babbling about?!
Star Wars 7, 8, and 9 would be amazing. Bring Grievous, Vader, and Maul back as a trio of villains and make a Grievous spin off. That’s all there is to it.

Hey all, I red this news on other sites, and here I got a lot of information I'm happy of it. But I think if we want a new star wars trilogy in 3D we have to insist to lucasfilms. Since we live in a world that facebook groups have influence, I just created one called “FOR A NEW STAR WARS TRILOGY IN 3D”. If you don't find my group just add me (Tom Seagle) and send me a message and then I'll invite you.

I’m defiantly in the 7,8 and 9 camp! I’ve never really been a big fan of prequels. IMO I thought lucus was just trying to be too clever! I did read some of the Timothy Zahn books a few years ago and agree that they could be a template for future movies!

I still would like to see Episodes 7, 8 & 9………there is still one more story with the grandchildren of Darth Vader.

I think they should do an “Old Republic” era trilogy. I loved reading the books about Darth Bane and how there used to be armies of jedi and sith. Seeing the PC video game trailer enough was convincing. But seeing it live action, thousands of jedi and sith fighting each other, would be fantastic. And i love the idea on Cameron. Hes the perfect director. Star Wars needs a good name.

Well from my point of view chrisj, seeing it as one body, the autopsy has been poured over so much I wonder at the persistent attention. If I dwell on it, then I’m bummed and the future prospects are looking lackluster as it is. That’s enough angst, especially over whats suppose to be entertainment…

Im not a big fan really, i just like the movies. But howcome people hated the prequels? Namely Episodes 1 & 2?

He had a point in 2008 though, that saga was the story of Anakin Skywalker, he’s said it plenty of times. There’s no real story reason to do sequels now unless they were spin offs.

March 17, 2008 Coming Soon interview by Edward Douglas; “Do you think you’d have other people continue the “Star Wars” saga past “Episode VI” or turn some of the other material into films?”
Lucas: But there’s no story past “Episode VI”, there’s just no story. It’s a certain story about Anakin Skywalker and once Anakin Skywalker dies, that’s kind of the end of the story. There is no story about Luke Skywalker” He goes on to say that other peoples “Star Wars” vision isn’t his and he’s not able to keep up with that.

From: TIME Magazine By Gerald Clarke;Denise Worrell Monday, May. 23, 1983 An Interview with George Lucas.

“The sequels, the three movies that would follow Jedi, are considerably vaguer. Their main theme will be the necessity for moral choices and the wisdom needed to distinguish right from wrong. There was never any doubt in the films already made; in those the lines were sharply drawn, comic-book-style. Luke, who will then be the age Obi-Wan Kenobi is now, some place in his 60s, will reappear, and so will his friends, assuming that the creator decides to carry the epic further. Hamill and the others will get first crack at the roles—if they look old enough. ”

There the contrast between what he said in 1983 and what he said in 2008. By the way Hamill is around 58. Lucas has been talking about 100 episodes of the live action show. Four to five years worth of “Star Wars” on TV. Hamill will be about the right age then. Will you still want Lucas’s 1983 story then? Perhaps 2018 give or take a year? In that period how many more books, games, and toys do you think will be out?
Oh and don’t forget the original trilogy is looking like it’s slated for 3-D. It seems kind of crazy to spend your golden years telling war stories? If the TV shows go the distance it will be around 36 years of “Star Wars.” Isn’t that enough?

The Timothy Zahn Trilogy is considered by “Star Wars Nerds” everywhere as the Episodes 7, 8, and 9. The story is all there it just needs to be adapted to screen in full beautiful CGI. This transition would not be hard to stomach after the strong CGI infusion to Episodes 1, 2, and 3.

Plus, Episode 3 is awesome and it’s too bad that it gets lumped into the disasters that are Episodes 1 and 2.

I was always hoping there would be a third star wars trilogy set years after Return of the Jedi because I want to see Mark Hamill back as an aging Luke Skywalker noe a Yoda/Obi-Wan type Jedi Master traning a new generation of Jedi to protect the galaxy and to see the aftermath of the Emporer and Vader’s death and to see the Millennium Falcon flying all over the galaxy again either piloted by Han Solo or one os Han’s children or Luke’s Son Ben Skywalker or his heir and dealing with Luke’s protege or Luke’s son or Han and Leia’s children and grandchildren as the main heroes facing a new threat to the galaxy perhaps from the Unknown regions of the galaxy. This trilogy could be set after thr Fate of the Jedi novel series(perhaps 45-50 years after ROTJ) with the original cast of Hamill,Fisher and Ford as mentor roles. Perhaps not only having Luke pass on the torch to the new Jedi and his son Ben but Han passing on the Falcon to his daughter Jaina or granddaughter Allana. I think it would be cool to see a SW sequel trilogy in not only 3D but IMAX3D like the upcoming Tron:Legacy. I hope Lucas and Lucasfilm will reconsider in the future.

I am not a prequel hater. I like all the movies and each one has good points and bad points. I do see many of the points that the haters have against the prequels but I also believe the existence of the Internet by the time the prequels came around allowed those complaints to fester and pustulate far more than necessary. However, I wouldn’t mind seeing a FINAL Star Wars trilogy that is produced by George but probably not directed by him. Another option is that he could have a co-director on each.

On the other hand, I believe the movies were intended to be the story of Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader and he originally planned it to spread out over nine movies and then came to realize it would really be a six movie affair. But people won’t let the “nine movies” thing die. So, yeah, if you can make a good trilogy that won’t be hated on as much then go ahead and do it, George.

I’m a star wars geek who love the old trilogy, and… well, at least I don’t HATE the prequel trilogy. It was a disappointment – shure – but it had its moments… anyway – let’s hope this is just a stupid “supershadow”-type rumor, and that we wont see anymore star wars movies. Havent seen the Clone Wars movie, and probably wont.

Looking forward to the live action series though, but there’s a strong chance that it will be another dissapointment from skywalker ranch.

When I compared Cally to Han, I meant in terms of character, not force ability. She would be the wise cracking rouge, not a typical hero like Luke or Anakin. Star Wars needs characters like that, it was so lacking in the prequels.
That’s my idea anyway. I started on the script last night, but so far it doesn’t feel like star wars. Maybe that’s a good thing.

@drsambeckett198

In your little synopsis above Cally would be the Luke character not Han Solo. Han was just a normal guy with no Force talent (or latent at best arguably) so to say she is ‘incredibly powerful’ Force user and compare her to Han? Nope, doesn’t compute.

A-lot of you still don’t see it. Why would Lucas tell you a different story? He’s told you the same story six times now and you’ve bought into it six times! What do you want him to do, tell it to you three more times? Look at all the things the six stories have in common. Their’s over 100 elements they all have in common. You’re allowing your “id” to govern your reason, all for a cheap Adrenalin rush…

@ M-CAT
while i do agree that sequels should be made and im sick of prequels(even though i loved episode 3 and liked both 1 n 2) i just dont like what the future after 6 has to offer.unless they go past luke n han and all of their offsprings.i really dont like cloning idea they had. or they could make some movies based in the KOTOR(knights of the old republic) era. the mandalorian war, darth malak raven oh ya
