emotionalvampire Posted January 16, 2004 Share Posted January 16, 2004 The latest on any possible sequels is that it has been reported that Peter Mayhew (the chap who played Chewbacca in the original 3 films and returning for Ep3) has signed a contract to also star in 3 more sequels. The doesnt mean 100% that there is 3 more films, just that it will save some money in getting Mr Mayhew back if there is any. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have not heard anything about this so please keep us informed, thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Idril Posted January 16, 2004 Share Posted January 16, 2004 lucas has said, they wont happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emotionalvampire Posted January 16, 2004 Author Share Posted January 16, 2004 Not exactly. Lucas said that he wont, mainly because it will take another 10 years of his life to do. There is nothing to stop someone else stepping into his shoes. Plus there are alot of good stories already written from after the Return of the Jedi time frame.

SALEMSLOT Posted January 17, 2004 Share Posted January 17, 2004 As much as I would like to see more Star Wars movies, I have to be realistic - It's never going to happen! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Narago Posted January 17, 2004 Share Posted January 17, 2004 Yeah I am not sure I would want there to be anymore films after Episode 3 even though I am a big SW's fan. I know there are books about stories after ROTJ but I just think once Episode 3 is finished that should be it. Having said that if someone did make more I am sure I would go and see them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emotionalvampire Posted January 17, 2004 Author Share Posted January 17, 2004 Ahmend Best is also being a bit quite about his contract. He too was asked about the sequels and responded by saying that he's under contract not to talk about it. Mark Hamill has been ask about it as well. And supposedly has been ask to come back in 9 as a cameo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emotionalvampire Posted January 17, 2004 Author Share Posted January 17, 2004 Well I think it might happen. George Lucas set up LucasFilm and they only seem to produce the Star Wars films anyway. George will eventually retire and someone else will take up the reins of the company. The company will still need to make money and what better way to do so than producing more Star Wars films.

I hadnt looked at it that way, good point. I guess time will tell, I'll just be happy to get to see Episode 3 for now though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Kenny Posted January 19, 2004 Share Posted January 19, 2004 As much as I would love to see this happen I find it highly unlikely for numerous reasons. For one thing, George pretty much considers Star Wars his baby, he has said definitively that he won't do it and I can't see him letting someone else take over. Secondly, can you see Ford, Hamill and Fisher committing 10 years of their lives to the project? By the time they finish episode 9, Ford would be in his mid seventies! If they plan to use all new actors in the parts of Luke, Leia and Han I think it would be a total disaster. I can't see them using any of the storylines already written in novels set in that timeframe, so are they basically going to rewrite the established history? I'm pretty sure the reason George licensed novelists to fill in the events after Jedi is because he knew he would never make the sequels. George has said that the Star Wars saga is the story of Anakin Skywalker, how he turned to evil and how he was redeemed. That story ended in Return of the Jedi. The only option I can see is that Episodes 7,8 and 9 are set years after Jedi and possibly feature the children of Leia and Han (if they consider the novels as canon.) Frankly I shudder at the thought. K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emotionalvampire Posted January 19, 2004 Author Share Posted January 19, 2004 Thats all very true and I agree with what you are saying. Whose to say though that when George eventually retires, someone wont try making 7,8,9. Anyway, on another note, maybe all these signings are for the DVD'; for the interviews and what not. I know that all the digital guys at ILM that worked EP3 have just had their contracts renewed to 2012. So who knows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
