Should Lucas Make SW Episodes VII,VIII,& IX
7:46 PM 6/17/2008
it was raining today so i decided to watch one of the Star Wars "episodes" out of pure boredom, which brought me to realize how much i used to like the series..god forbid i'm probably the only one on here who does. But, I had thoughts of the unlikely (nevergunnahappen) final triolgy of the series..and what everyone else thought about 3 more additions to the "saga."

Why? The old man is insane and has proven repeatedly that he can't write for crap. And the story is already there in books and would not translate well to the cliffhanger 3-part format the movies use.
There is a GC miniseries in the works that'll take place between Episodes II and III, during the Clone Wars. Fortunately, Lucas won't be the main writer.
There's also the new game "Force Unleashed" which follows Darth Vader's secret apprentice on his mission to eradicate the Jedi following Episode III.

i guess everyone's entitled to their own opinions but i think force unleashed was released a good two years ago. As for that CG movie i don't know why their doing that since they already released the cartoon series before III even hit the theaters.

Force Unleashed definitely did not come out two years ago. You must be thinking of one of the many other Star Wars games.
Does seem odd that they're not only doing another animated series (though CG instead of traditional animation) covering the same time period and with almost the same name "THE Clone Wars" instead of "Clone Wars." Still, the original was a short miniseries made to bridge the two movies. The new series will be a lot longer and won't be tying any film plotlines together...it's it's own story.
I should probably clarify my "can't write for crap" satement, too. I should have said "Anymore." I love the original 3 movies. It's the new 3, plus Indiana Jones and the other recent writing he's done that are crap. He really needs to step away from the pen and let someone else do the writing while he "oversees" the project. Things work out a lot better that way.
After the newest three movies, no. He should not. I didnt even see the third one though. I cant imagine its better than the first three movies, because the others were not.

Boom right there. Lucas shouldn't be writing.

So he has an Integra and you have a 240? I know why she left you. She likes it in the front better than the rear. Welcome to NICO.

Yeah I really wonder what is going to come of that..I'm having conflicting thoughts in my brain wether it would be good or bad.
Good, as in being like the best prime time sitcom or Action drama show, or Bad as in ending up like a 1 o'clock daily snoother such as start trek, Stargate SG1, or Xena the warrior princess.
the **** he called episodes 1-3 about ****in' ruined the original trilogy for me.
"Now you may ask if I regret it, if I would do it differently if I could, if I would take it back. NOT A CHANCE!!!!! I went for it. I put it all on the line. I always will. I knew what the consequences would be if I failed, and I was willing to accept them. So any of you reading who might be feeling a twinge of sympathy, don't. I made my decisions, and I accept the consequences. I'm no victim. And to those who are thinking about preaching at me, don't bother. I won't hear you. I haven't accomplished anything in this life worth remembering by playing it safe. That's boring to me anyway."
