IOL: Lucas to make more Star Wars?

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.

    This is such a bad idea.

    Bad idea? I agree: Yoda pimping mota is something I never thought I’d live to see.

    For better or worse, Lucas has always maintained that the story was originally a 9-part tale. Seems like an awfully long story though and his way of telling it out of sequence has damaged the franchise on many levels. Don’t know how he can be totally blamed though, because telling a story out of sequence is very difficult, if not impossible to carry out very well.

    Just imagine if he hadn’t started with the good parts — parts 4, 5, and 6 — the parts that continue to bear financial fruit as recent as today (DVD release for original trilogy) then we may never have known that Vader was Luke’s father.

    Or be speculating about parts 7, 8 and 9 possibly someday seeing the light of day …

    Bad idea maybe, but it should generate millions. This is the land of profitable bad ideas. California is the capitol for this sort of stuff. Blogging can be a bad idea, but people do it for nothing with no hope of a return. I’ll never do another blog. Next week I may change that thought. I’ll be called a flipflopper. So what. If Lucas wants to do this, that’s his deal. I say go for it.
