*yawn* He lost me after the Empire Strikes Back.

[RandallFlagg]

Hmmmmmmm. As long as there's good lightsabre duels, I'm in!

[Larry Lucido]

Great. Harrison Ford can return to play the geriatric Hans Solo.

[VisualizeSmallerGovernment]

Why not go further back in time, showing the Emperor and Darth Maul as cute cuddly little kids?

ILM NDAs for Episodes 7,8 and 9
Tue, Aug 17, 04 02:22:05 AM EDT

A little Jedi stopped by the inbox today with some information fans have to pray is actually happening. Rumors at best folks ... ones we love, but we have to remind you: rumors!

You didn't hear this from me, but you might be curious as to why everyone at ILM just signed NDA's (Non Disclosure Agreement) saying that they will not discuss Star Wars EP7, 8, or 9. Since they're not being made, why the NDA's? Of course, since when has the flannel one been consistent?

[AmishDude]

Pingarooni.

[midwestmidnight]

Hopefully, 7 - 9 will have more chemistry among the characters than the vacuous Episode I and the vile (of helium and argon) Episode II!

Here's a great article about the "evil" Empire...

Like the United Nations, the Republic has no armed forces of its own, but instead relies on a group of warriors, the Jedi knights, to "keep the peace." The Jedi, while autonomous, often work in tandem with the Senate, trying to smooth over quarrels and avoid conflicts. But the Jedi number only in the thousands--they cannot protect everyone.

What's more, it's not clear that they should be "protecting" anyone. The Jedi are Lucas's great heroes, full of Zen wisdom and righteous power. They encourage people to "use the Force"--the mystical energy which is the source of their power--but the truth, revealed in "The Phantom Menace," is that the Force isn't available to the rabble. The Force comes from midi-chlorians, tiny symbiotic organisms in people's blood, like mitochondria. The Force, it turns out, is an inherited, genetic trait. If you don't have the blood, you don't get the Force. Which makes the Jedi not a democratic militia, but a royalist Swiss guard.

apparently george lucas feels their is a shortage of crappy movies today, and needs to extend the series further to fill the cap.

There's got to be at least a cameo appearance in there for the Star Wars Kid:

I always fall asleep during the clone movie... I don't know what it is ... but its a big yawner to me. Haven't bothered to the other one in the series.

Now, StarGate SG-1, on the other hand ...

you mean we have to hear about this junk for a few more years? sigh...

[solitas]

¡No más, no más!

A friend sent me a quote a while back from someone cursing George Lucas. It starts out suggesting an obscene use for a pine cone upon George Lucas' person and then continues, "he managed to think up new movies so stupid he actually leeched the enjoyment out of the rest of the movies... Like a black hole of plot development."

[Fintan]

Gosh. Can't wait.
