George Lucas is rumoured to want to make another new Star Wars movie.
Last decade, Lucas made claims he wanted to make six more films, three prequel Star Wars movies about Darth Vader (potatohead) and three sequel Star Wars movies about Luke Skywalker (lightsaber).
But then, when he released the Phantom Menace and everyone realised
that is was the rubbishest film of all time, he changed his mind, and
told the world that he was only going to make the prequels.
Then Attack Of The Clones came out, and people still thought it was
pants. And George deepened his resolution. He’d make one more Star Wars (DVDs) film, and that was it.
That "one more Star Wars film" turned out to be Revenge Of The Sith,
which is making more money every second than you will ever see in your
miserable lives. The sound of cash registers has wafted over into the
ears of George Lucas and, surprise surprise, he’s rumoured to be considering making
another one.
Thankfully, and if the reports are true, the new movie won’t be about Luke Skywalker and Han
Solo. That would just be two hours of them both going "Wow, we’re
brilliant, aren’t we? We defeated the evil emperor and everything!"
with nothing for them to do. They’ve already beat the two most evil
beings in the universe – what would be left for them to do? The film
would have to be called something like Star Wars: Episode VII – Luke
Eats A Nice Biscuit.
Instead, the new film is likely to be set 100 years before The
Phantom Menace, and will feature Yoda as the hero among an all-new
cast. Who’d have thought that a green Muppet with Fozzie Bear’s voice
would go on to be such an icon? There are said to be no firm plans right now about
a plot, but Yoda will be 100 years younger, so really he should be
bombing around picking up chicks in a red sports car.
We’re going to ignore the huge titling problem that the new film will cause, by the way. Will it be called Episode 0? Or will it be named Episode I, and all the existing films will have to scootch up an episode?
Best news of all, if this film actually gets made, is that George Lucas will try to take a back seat
in the production of the movie. So it might actually be a subtle, witty
script directed in an imaginative way. For once.

If you do a little fact-checking on this story, you’ll find that Lucas has “announced” nothing of the kind. The entire string of headlines about the supposedly new sequel was generated by a report of a drunken conversation on the beach with Lucas by some dude on his honeymoon — I’m not kidding — on somebody’s blog.
Many thanks Steve – headline amended.

I dont know.
Now that it is almost over, there is now a new website thanking George Lucas for 28 years of Star Wars to present 1,000,000 signatures and stories to him later this summer. Look at http://www.thankyougoerge.com
actually i would rather them continue the story after “return of the jedi” showing how luke starts the new jedi acadamy and how leia and han have their three children and luke gets married to mara jade
hey i think it’s great that george lucas is going to make a new star wars movie he will get alot of money like episode III so if he dose make a new star wars movie then i”ll be very happy like all the star wars fan’s in the world
The Star Wars films (all six) are shit and any one who disagrees ia a mong.
obviously are not shit, if sooo many people like them, so keep your stupid fucking opinions to yourself
Pay no attention to Stingray – last I heard – he was a stand in double for a stand in during the Ewok battle on Endor – remember how short and crabby those scruff-muffins were?
i thought there was going to be another starwars movie and it would be called starwars episode 7 because i just read the script a minute ago and no it wasnt fake
I hope they make a sequal 2 the third 1 because i never liked star wars they are just addicting to watch and see what happens next now i am starting to like them again so hopefully their is new version of episode 4 sometime soon
If they ever did make a new star wars saga, it should be about the Yuuzhan Vong invasion. It could even have the old cast in it if they wanted. but a new one with the solo children would be good.
he should make a film of the new sith wars that took place thousands of years before episode 1 he should have his film about the sith how they started he should have characters like naga sadow…lord kaan…githany an probably yoda would be there when he was young an count dooku when he use 2 belong to he jedi council it would make money i think an also be interesting to watch
i def. agree with the idea of making another film set back in the day. not every fan knows what happened before the first movie because there wasnt one ever made! so either george lucas should make a prequal to the prequal or remake 456. no disrespect. i love the originals and they will always be greatly appriciated. its just that ALOT of star wars fans would like cooler FX. everyone loves FX so why not make it more advance?
I think they should make 3 more movies about the Darth Bane series of books just amazing books that explain how there came to be only 2 sith lords.
yay yodas 100yrs younger! and i started every word in that sentence with a Y! But no really that makes yoda 800 -.-
i was told,that recently G.L.,was on a television show,talking about making a film based on darth plagious the wise. It would involve the betrail of sidious,and the creation of anakin…….
I completely think that there should be a movie based in the old republic era with bane malak revan plageis and all those peeps
I think george lucas should make one more movie Star Wars 3 1/2 so the gap between the 3rd and the 4th makes sense and show how luke grow up etc.
you could have another movie before the phantom menace!
like having cout dooku on the jedi side and you couls see more of qui-gon jinn
I love star wars always have always well I hope that there will be tons more
I think that if you believe that George Lucas is only in it for the money and I’m not saying that he doesn’t enjoy it. I just have to believe what he has done and will continue to do is to fill his enjoyment of the fantasy and that of the fans. I truly believe that. It is to wonderful and adventurous and imaginative to be excited about, especially if you created that world. Not to mention the countless amazing people he has working with him through it all. Also, it is sooo much deeper than the movies, there’s more galaxy, more characters. You develop a better understanding of the whole concept itself. I personally just finished one about Darth Maul and it was EPIC! Titled Darth Maul Shadow Hunter. Great book Fan Kids!
May The Force Be With You!
i will admit that even this ever does happen and they suck, i will be in denile and love them anyways. i dont care how old carrie fisher is now either, i wanna see that senior citizen back in the gold bikini.
I take it none here have read the three books in a trilogy done by Timothy Zahn? Diehard Star Wars fans who read – have read these and swear they should be the new movies – but problem with douche baggery Lucas – he’s a spoiled child and gives no credit to anyone else’s ideas.
Does Lucas really have any speculation on the outcome of a seventh? It would earn him millions upon millions!
you know how they made the 4th 5th and 6th movie first shouldnt they make a remake and have the new / younger people do the role i think that would be lots of fun
UR GAY. PERIOD.
