EP3: Updates to SW Sequels Rumor
Fri, Jan 16, 04 09:14:32 AM EST
Jon Parton sends us this update to an earlier story about the Star Wars sequels being made.
Tonight, Ahmed Best was being interviewed on a local radio station (96.5 The Buzz in Kansas City). I didn't hear the whole thing, but the dj asked Ahmet about Episodes 7, 8, and 9. Ahmet said he couldn't say anything about them. He didn't deny anything, just saying that he was under contract and couldn't talk about it. Don't know if it's newsworthy or not, but there you go.
Peter Mahyew denies the original report on his official website where says the following according to a news tip from M. Kryger:
Hi, Well, that's very interesting, but no, it's not true about Ep's 7, 8 and 9....don't know where the guy got that one...but yes, I'll be in Ep III for sure.....thanks for the email... and Cheers, Peter
Then AICN is posting rumors about Lucasfilm cutting deals until 2012 and special effects wings staffing up:
Pacific Title employees working at Skywalker Ranch have just signed new contracts to run until 2012. Pacific Title are an optical and digital effects production company and the extended contacts are a carry over from their work on Episode II & III.
Obi_Shawn_Kenobi sends us this report from Canada, who probably just took the lead from our story about Hot Dog but still it hit the mainstream there:
I was just watching "The Stars Tonight" on a local television station in Toronto. This is the Entertainment News segment of the 6 o clock news on channel 8 here in Toronto. They mentioned that Peter Mayhew has signed and has said that he signed a contract for a Episodes 7, 8, and 9! This would help validate your previous story that you though might be just a big rumour.
Troy gives TFN visitors to watch it here.
And finally, Wolvskar sends us this note from the latest issue of the Star Wars Insider. This is Mark Hamill talking about the sequel trilogy:
"I knew they were going to be about other characters with a possiblity of my doing a cameo in the ninth one."
We called Lucasfilm, but Jeanie Cole in publicity left the company recently so we're working on who to speak with next to try to get a straight answer. And we're hearing about a wish list of directors, too. Including Steven Spielberg, who is also connected to Episode III in some specific way, believe it or not

Before the prequels came out, Lucas(I think it was he)was going on about how it would be good to have the original cast back as old folks for 7,8 and 9...later I heard he cooled on the idea, because he wanted to be in control of the movies and they take so long to produce.

And he'd actually have to have real people in it.
And talk to them. |

And have them grouch at him about the dialog and restrictive direction, and blue-screen, etc.

I like the word grouch.
Star Wars, why have you forsaken me? |

Maybe Lucas will be dead by the time 7 8 and 9 are on the burner.

| I always figured there would be more after Episode 3. However I figured they'd re-make Episodes 4, 5, and 6. |

mmm, that would suck, but what I don't understand is that everything has to be a trilogy.
What if they had done 1,2,3 in one film, they maybe could have made a better story. But that aside, why would gl do a 7,8,9. Why not only a 7? Just to finish everything. I think return of the jedi is a good closer, but not the perfect closer.

I'm not sure where they would go after Jedi though...
In the books, the war isn't over even though the battle is won, though the destruction of the second death star, Vader's flagship, and of course Vader/Palpatine is a turning point in the rebellion. They still have to take Coruscant and establish a new Republic. I don't think Lucas would take that path...
Maybe it would be set another 20-30 years in the future and things are established, which would be better anyway as he could use new characters and a whole new story, but then it wouldn't really be fitting as the closing third of a larger (prequel, original, sequel) trilogy.

a long time to come, in 2005...
STAR WARS
Episode 3-There's No Hope
The story so far...the evil emporer Lucas holds the rebel allience(i.e cast and crew)under his iron fist...while meanwhile the heartless trade federation is forcing the cast to trade actorly skills for stiff preformances and 'taxing' there creative energy.

I think Lucas originally planned out the story in nine parts, so that's why.

yes, he originally envisioned the story to be a trilogy of trilogies, but I dont know if he ever meant to actually film them all. I think it was more to give it a serial feel, as if you're walking in part of the way through a movie

| JarJaromir...actually, I saw that on some website,with J.J's head substituted for Faramir's. Perhaps Ewan MacGregor could play a young Gandalf? Cue hammy Ian McKellan impersonations.... |

There is a delete button where you can delete your double posts.
That is, unless you're just trying to jack up your post count. |
