    Sounds like a good idea to me.

    Re Ep1: I can't be bothered getting that one. I'm only interested if it comes attached to the original three.

    There are too many DVDs coming out in the next few weeks.... Star Wars: Episode 1, Final Fantasy (movie wasn't bad, but it's a GREAT reference disc), Monty Python and the Holy Grail Special Edition.... TOO MANY, I tell ya!

    And the Episode 1 DVD has NOT been out for a while....if you already have it, you've either got the Japanese bootleg, or you managed to get the official DVD early. Here in the US, the DVD streets on Tuesday.

    Don't you mean all 9 episodes (maybe even 10 with that crappy Ewok movie)? We all might be retiring by the time that happens. LOL

    No, there are only six.

    EP1: The Phantom Menace
    EP2: Attack of the Clones (goofy ass name if you ask me)
    EP3: n/a
    EP4: A New Hope
    EP5: Empire Strikes Back
    EP6: Return of the Jedi

    Where you got nine from..I don't have a clue. I can see 8 if you count the SW holiday special and the Ewok movie...

  • Lucas said that he always intended Star Wars to be a 9 part saga!!!!

    The original three
    break
    The ones he is doing now
    break
    and finally three set after the original star wars

  • HasdrubalHasdrubal Earthforce Officer
    It will be something like 2057 before the last three are done at the current rate, and all the actors will be decrepit old men. I say old men because the way hollywood works, they will probably get some woman at least 30% silicone by weight to play Leia. Doesn't really matter, though, because Lucas will probably be dead long before.

    The SW Ep1 DVD is supposed to have 7 new scenes never before seen (no pun intended)...

    It's a two DVD disc set.

    Comes out Tuesday officially...

  • BigglesBiggles <font color=#AAFFAA>The Man Without a Face</font>
    I believe that Lucas has stated he will no longer make the final 3 episodes, as all the books have filled in that period in the timeline (silly him for allowing people to write whatever they wanted about it).

    I thought everyone knew of the Nine true Episodes. [img]http://216.15.145.59/mainforums/smile.gif[/img] I just never believed he'd ever film them all, until he started Phantom Menace. When Ep1 first came out, they left room on [url="http://www.starwars.com"]www.starwars.com[/url] for VII, VIII & IX, but this link explains the confusion: [url="http://www.starwars.com/site/faq.html"]http://www.starwars.com/site/faq.html[/url]

    [quote]Episode VII and Beyond
    Wasn't Star Wars going to be nine or more parts? Will sequels be made set after Return of the Jedi?
    Early on in the saga's development, some thought was given to have a trilogy set after Return of the Jedi. George Lucas has long since changed his mind, and the entire Star Wars saga will now encompass six episodes, starting with The Phantom Menace, and ending with Return of the Jedi. There will be no future Star Wars films set after Return of the Jedi. [/quote]

    I still reckon he'll try to do them all. After all, the last three are largely written in the form of the books.

    Really, REALLY crap. Be grateful you've never seen it.

    I hadn't heard of "The Star Wars Holiday Special". This must have been truly awful, since it had all the cast (Han, Luke, Leia, Darth, Chewy) and I've never seen it aired.

    Maybe Lucas will make a telemovie about Jarjar and his family... on the other hand, let's no give him any stupid ideas. There's enough suffering in the World already.

    You make it sound bad. A collection of perhaps 20 authors, collectively and individually, have written a massive volume of excellent SW fiction. The great thing is, it all ties in to a single storyline, and is regulated by some committee organisation who approve new plot lines.

    Unfortunately someone has started a new set, that continues AFTER the surrender of the empire to the new republic. Its silly.
  • WORFWORF The Burninator
    There are 2 Ewok movies, I saw them both when I was about 8. Then there are the Ewok and Droids cartoons.

    Most of the Star Wars books have been good (like the Thrawn Trilogy) and some have been bad. I think the new series is good but definatly not the best of Star Wars.

    I'm more interested in the stories about Star Wars ancient history...

    The era of the Jedi Sith Lords thousands of years before the Star Wars saga, and the things that culminated in the Valley of the Jedi being created, other long forgotten places, people, and times heavy in the Force etc... that kind of thing.

    It's this same thing that intrigues me about the Babylon 5 universe. I want to know about Valen's war in greater detail, how the First Ones came into being, how the Shadow and Vorlons came to power etc. Much of this is eluded to, but never really expanded on. For this reason I enjoyed "War without End", "Thirdspace", etc.

    Given that this is all make believe and created from the mind of some talented individuals, you'd think we would have seen more than we have...

    no, it was a made-for-tv live action thing which while I haven't seen it in its entirety, from the little bits I've seen and read was pretty dire.
    I also read that Lucas would destroy every
    last copy he can get his hands on.
