lazypadawanMommy, make it stop!
This is the second time this year some dope tried to spread a rumor there's a new "trilogy" on the way. Today it was IESB.net posting a blind item from an unnamed "super top secret insider" that there's a new set of movies in the works, due for release sometime after all of the existing films have been released in 3D. It makes total sense, right? Didn't they put the Special Editions out in advance of new movies?
Ah, but back then we knew there would be more movies. We'd known since the early '90s.
There are so many things off about this rumor, I have no idea why IESB.net ever posted it and why Wired.com jumped so quickly to report it. This new trilogy allegedly wouldn't involve the Skywalker family (what's it going to be about, Jawas?) and that it would "probably" be set in the Star Wars universe. Well, where would a Star Wars movie take place? Middle Earth? Even more absurd is the story that it might start with Episodes 10, 11, and 12, mysteriously skipping 7-9. WTF? Why, so Lucas can go back at age 100 and finally do that gap trilogy everybody's been dying to see? Will it explain why the Skywalkers were suddenly dropped?
This nonsense drew so much traffic to IESB.net, the site crashed and some poor schlub at Lucasfilm had to take time out of his weekend golf game or whatever to deny this preposterous story, which Wired.com posted.
Guys, repeat after me...NO MORE MOVIES. Got that? Yes, we'll see lots more Clone Wars, Seth Green's upcoming comedy series, and once they figure out the money aspect of it, that mythical live action show. We will see the six films in 3D shortly. But if Lucas were to wake up tomorrow with the idea of making more movies, it will be several years away and the man is now 66 years old. Give it a rest.
