Knights of the Old Republic

by richard

George Lucas said he was finished with the Star Wars movies. Ebert didn’t believe him, Karina didn’t get it, but more importantly – WE wanted more. Stupid Us. It seems George Lucas told a scooper that he has an idea for another add-on to the Star Wars movie series: a prequel to The Phantom Menace. The story would follow the Jedi regaining control of the universe from the many Dark Lords some 88 years before Anakin Skywalker ever graced the universe. Yoda, who, according to Lucas, was instrumental in the effort, would apparently have a headlining role. However, Lucas, now age 60, says he won’t be captaining such a ship if it ever happens.

I though we were going to get episodes 7-9….

I guess the books have sufficiently muddled the storyline that he can’t make a film about it…

Lucas said a while back that he has scrapped any plans of making films for 7-9. But he did drop some hints about TV versions. But apparently, the pre-prequel stuff is his interest now.

Which is a shame, because the Zahn books would so rock as episodes 7-9 …
