More Star Wars sequals?

The original 3 were great - staple films of my childhood!!

I've seen 1 and 2 of the new ones and they were, quite frankly, pants! Was very disappointed in them :(

Maybe its different for kiRAB now, maybe they love the new ones as much as I loved the old ones when I was their age??
 
Purity - I couldn't agree more. I saw the original when I was 5 and still remember that cinema trip vividly. And I still watch it whenever I can. As for the latest ones, yeah, seen them both - once - that was enough.
 
alot of ppl say that the first 2 (TPM and AOTC) were crap, but i think they are ok, they arnt THAT Bad, ive definetly seen worse, but these are ok and i think they go good against 4, 5 and 6., but if they make a 7, 8 and 9 then that would be weird, cause the ending to 6 is perfect !
 
Talk about milking it. 4,5 & 6 were the prefect films when I enjoyed them as a kid. 1 & 2 are crap. I think that 7,8 & 9 when or if they are released are going to be even worse.
 
well - he can't really be accused of milking it, seeing as that was waht was originally intended - 9 films.

ep1 was a big let down, but it was always going to be, so long after the original. ep2 was better - pretty decent entertainment really, which is all its meant to be - certainly a lot worse out there. (although the romance bit was especially dire)

ep3 will be interesting to see what lucas does, seeing as its the one where the good guys get a kicking - so presumably not much of a happy ending.

The big problem with 7,8,9 is the actors, Carrie and Mark and Harrison are far too aged to play the leaRAB unless its set 20 years on from ROTJ. I really dont thik it will happen, this is all based on ILM signing non disclosure agreements.....maybe they wil do a cartoon series or full computer generated....in any case the negative reaction should stop him.....maybe this was a leak to test the water...
 
The new Star Wars sequels are definatly not happening as I saw this earlier:

Talking to Moviehole this morning, Lucasfilm are quick to state that there won't be any further "Star Wars" movies, adding that news about employees having had to sign a non-disclosure agreement with something about the sequels on them is false, because agreements are never film-specific there.

John Singh, of Lucasfilm, tells Moviehole : "The rumors of "Star Wars" VII, VIII and IX are absolutely false. "Star Wars" Episode III: "Revenge of the Sith" is being released worldwide on May 19, 2005, is our last and final installment. ILM employees sign a standard non-disclosure agreement that does not pertain to any particular film or project."

As much as I'd be interested to see what Lucas can do with a post-"Return of the Jedi" story, you've gotta admit : there's gonna be some severe CGI needed to make Mark Hammil, Carrie Fisher and company look younger. In addition, can anyone actually see Harrison Ford signing on to reprise his role as Han Solo? Buckleys chance there.

Still, you never know, we mightn't have seen the last of the "Star Wars" world. There's rumours of a TV series too remember - and that ones yet to be debunked. In fact, IESB heard from a source who says that might be what Lucasfilm have in mind. Says the site, "I received an email from one of our sources deep inside the world of LFL who is backing up TheForce.net's claim that there is indeed rumblings up in "The Ranch" regarding the rumored sequels. We were told that "Uncle George" isn't planning to make anymore theatrical movies but he is looking at a possible animated TV series that might take advantage of Lucasfilm's new Singapore animation venture that was announced a few weeks ago. That is the only way that we will ever see Luke, Han, Leia and the rest of the gang in any new adventure that would take place after Jedi.I was also reminded by our "friend" over at LFL of our video interview that we had with Steve Sansweet at Comic-Con last month where he clearly stated that they are indeed looking at several different avenues for Star Wars including animated and live action weekly TV".
 
I hope you are right - I couldn't take anymore :cry: . they are turning into those kind of films that you have to watch but then wished you hadn't.
