Sorry to jump in on the conversation, but you said this is the last ever Star Wars.  Is that definate? 

I remember a radio interview with Dave Prowse, must have been in the eighties, when he said there would be 9 films in all... No's. 4,5,6 - 1,2,3 then 7,8,9.  Anyone know if this is still the case?

[trouble16]

hey! yeh i am pretty sure it is the last one cos on the clip i saw in the cinema, it has lots of battles and stuff and im sure it had nine in roman numerels, although im in the same boat, i saw the clip a long time ago and i may have being imaginging it all!lol!

Re the number of SW movies, when SW:ANH hit big Lucas announced that he had plans for 9 movies (some reports say 12) - mind you, it was fairly obvious that he hadn't actually planned 3x trilogies, but the money was pouring in.

Sometime between Jedi and Menace he obviously decided that he would probably not fit all 9 movies into his lifetime and (given his relutance to entrust them to anyone else/his penchant for "improving" his own movies with new SFX) stated that the 6 movies would be the lot, and that it would all make perfect sense etc etc.

Recently there have been rumblings (no doubt stirred by the amount of cash being made) that he may in fact go back to the 9 movie plan.

I'm pretty sure there are going to be the full 9 movies.  Episode 7 is a peach.  They have to do it.

[trouble16]

i hope they do to, but i dont half get a tad confuse wiv all these different episodes and the fact lucas jumps from different subject each time a films relased! ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!

[SteveH75]

I turn my back for 2 seconds to do some work, and come back to all this! Heh Heh!

Insane Wally, it's a good point. I'd heard such rumours, although after Phantom Menace I'm surprised he went back to II & III .. although IMHO, he did redeem himself a bit with II.

I think he'll leave it personally. The studios might shout for more, but I think he saw the reaction to Ep1 and it tainted the reputation to an extent.

And trouble16, It went 4,5,6,1,2,3 ... so when they are all done and you watch them in order they should make sense.

The reason for him going backwards in time was that Lucas "allegedly" had the idea for the whole lot, but not enough money or time to cover it at first as he was a new filmmaker. He had to start somewhere, and about half way through seemed the best to him for a one off film ... just incase it bombed and the studios wouldn't pay out to make any more. Hence it starting with Episode IV in the famous "A long time ago in galaxy far, far away ... ". The rest as they say is history!

I swear, I'm into films in general! I'm not just a star wars gimp!!
