WILL THE LAST TRILOGY BECOME A REALITY?

[thomasallencummins]

Given that Lucas has at times in the past mentioned a third trilogy, one wonders if a few years from now with the glory of episode III fading and tanalizing new filmmaking technologies available if GL might consider giving it a go. There are book story lines that suggest that Luke is destined to be some kind of god-like super jedi. If this is the possible future for the Star Wars saga it might have some interesting aspects. Would we want to see another 3 films after what we've seen of the second trilogy? I'm not sure. I'm such a Star Wars dink, I'd almost watch anything. Lucas has stated that he has no interest in exploring Star Wars beyong Ep. III. He did mention in times past that he had no interest in filming a second trilogy, so who knows?

I'd watch it. But I'd want it to stick to the accepted post-Jedi story-line, and how they gonna match all that in 3 movies? Maybe in the future, once Lucas is dead, people will film things like Zahn's "Heir" series, but I don't see it happening soon.

What I expect is that the moment George ascends into Jedi heaven or simply gives his blessing, studios will clamor for the rights to produce more Star Wars films. I expect the first thing screenwriters will explore is the once talked about final three films. I hope I'm still around when this becomes possible.

On this point we are in complete agreement. I plan to watch the proposed Live Action television series that Lucas in working on.

Haha And I'm about to play KotOR II for the 15th time.

Technically, we have no archeological or astronomical evidence to suggest the first two Star Wars trilogies became reality.

After the mess of the last three films, I don't think I want three more.

Now, if someone were to film Splinter of the Mind's Eye.......

Now that would be awesome. I really liked that story. It's the only Star Wars book I've ever read.

Other than the novelizations, it's the only one I've ever read either, and I haven't read it since the late '70s.

But it was a good story that stuck with me all these years, and I think it'd make for a good film.

I feel the same way, Cail. There was something kind of eerie and disturbing about Splinter that if captured in film form would be pretty awesome. The solution? Don't let Lucas within a hundred miles of the production. :-)

Well obviously this came to pass and it was pretty much a train wreck.
