Just a rumor, but it sounds great.

Chewbacca actor Peter Mayhew said that when he signed his contract to work in EPISODE III, there was a clause that he would be "required" to work in EPISODES VII, XIII and IX of the STAR WARS film series.

I shudder at the thought of a 7, 8 and 9. I mean, how awful can they get and still get me to go watch them. While I did see the EPs I and II once but EP IV 10 times or more. I saw them to see where the story goes but couldn't see them again. I believe that puppets or people in costume are more believeable than CGI characters due to actor human charactics that are put into their characters. In LOTR, Gollum was a totally CGI character, but there was a man in a costume that interacted with the main actors and created more believable scenes. Besides, what story is there to be told since the Empire was defeated and the (New) Republic is (re) established. Here's one, In spite of their best efforts to prevent a future where the machines take over, the machines still win anyway. No, wait, that is 'The Terminator.'

We got you partially surrounded.

Just as long as I don't have to wait so long for each new installlment to come out, I'll be happy.
Maybe Lucas should give this potential project up to a different director who can do it in real time, not Lucas-time.

actually if the movies for 7, 8, and 9 followed the books, then the story for them is awesome, but seering as how they cant make good movies anymore i am sure they would screw it up.

As long as Lucas neither writes nor directs the third trilogy episodes...

They could be good!

yeah, but which books? The main characters are too old for any of the closely following books. I suppose they could take a story from the books and just set it a bit further out.

I think that making some of the better novels (Black Fleet Crisis Trilogy in particular) into movies would be great, but they gave us the Prequels, which actually conflicted with some of the books' 'canon'. That fact ticked me off to no end, as did Jar Jar Binks, the childish gags, the overabundance of CGI effects, the wierd midriclorian thing... let's just say that I wasn't entranced with them. Episode 3 will have to be really good to get me back to the Star Wars fan ranks.

When Lucas originally spoke about this back in the 80s he said that it would be centered around The children of the original cast. Of course he also said in an interview that there would be 9 total then 12 total then 6 total so who knows. Besides by the time he writes them the people will be less interested in space sagas cause we will be living on Mars and visiting with little green men from other systems.
