Star Wars Prequel Prequel Update
Filed under: Action, Sci-Fi & Fantasy, RumorMonger, Celebrities and Controversy, Fandom, 20th Century Fox
We reported this week that George Lucas had an idea for a new Star Wars movie. The scoop originated from Cinescape, where we now find out the conversation apparently took place at a resort last year, so it's nothing new. What the director was actually asked was which period he thought would be more interesting for future of the Star Wars universe. Lucas's replied that, without question, the pre-prequel period would be more interesting - the story of the fall of the Sith lords and the rise of the Jedi, many years before Anikan was born. He added that Yoda would have a big part in such a story. So again there is no sign of commitment or to any indication of serious consideration. Lucas may have just been thinking out loud. The Cinescape report ended with a quote from Lucas: "Star Wars will never end. My involvement may, but the story will go on."

It would be really nice, but I would like to see one after episode 6. I mean, would the empire just disband all of a sudden and there be peace without anything else? I don't think so.

Fine, but as long as he doesn't write the dialog, direct the film, choose the actors, or create Jar Jar Binks' grandfather in the pre-prequel...otherwise fine, go ahead.
