George Lucas

Update: This new story turns out to be false, Click here to find out more. 

We absolutely knew that George Lucas was not done with the Star Wars universe. The Star Wars creator revealed to Fox News that he will make two more live-action Star Wars films.

“But they won’t have members of the Skywalker family as characters,” he said. “They will be other people of that milieu.”

The two “extra” movies will probably be one hour in length and made for television.

At the one hour length, what will differentiate the upcoming hour-long live-action Star Wars television series from the films? Wouldn’t it be a good idea to make them a bit longer?

  • For the love of God, no.
  • Nobody Important
    Please, no... Why?
  • Yes! Two More Star Wars Films... They'll probably tell the story of Post ROTJ Era! The TV Show... are to be 1-hour in length... so if GL said he plans two more films... he's talking about theatre release... not TV!

    Keep em coming George!

    Ok, Im a big fan of Star Wars but c'mon if he's really going to make 2 more 'movies' why doesnt he just put them in theatres. Lucas would make a fortune on that. The only reason its on TV is for advertisements. C'mon Lucas get it together man

    Do either of you remember The Ewok movies, the caravan of courage or battle for endor? They went straight to TV debut and had that old time feel of the early eightys Star Wars flicks. I think with all the disappointment people have expressed with Episode 1 2 and 3, that this may be a good idea.
  • blah
    spin offs for the tv show

    The whole focus of the Star Wars saga surrounded the Skywalker family. Lucas could be making a mistake of Epic Proportions.

    THE MOVIES WILL BE ABOUT jAR jAR BINKS AND THE BATTLE OF THE SWAMP FISH
  • Chuck
    If it's about Jar Jar Binks... i will hunt down George Lucas and cut his head off with my light sabre.

    They really know how to run themselves into the ground don't they.

    the only reason to put this on tv is that you a want to make money and b know it will suck worse than the last 3 so you can say it was rushed or comprimises were made etc mark my words when this stinks the put it on tv excuse will be explanation or it didnt pan out the way i wanted to becuase it was only an hour which is crap because he could make them 2 hours a piece and the network would kill each other for the rights to it if it does well this is just his version of a pilot to test for a full time sitcom

    why oh why cant this guy accept hes rich made a great movie and just be happy why the greed?
  • Chris
    I think the story line has something to do with sharks and water skiing?
  • glib
    Because no one has said it yet:
    I have a bad feeling about this.
  • Chris
    If only George would give the money he's going to blow on these two to Joss Whedon we might have Serenity 2 and 3, now that would be worth watching.
  • I hope he continues the story of the Skywalker.

    Or redo episodes 4 to 6 with new casts.
  • BongwaterJoe
    NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
  • Eric the driver
    George is a very good story teller. Why would it upset anyone that he is going to continue the story. I know there is problems with some of his movies.
    I will watch though. Don't like it then don't watch. I mean really....

    @Gorgeous Girl

    REDO EPS 4 to 6! Are you fucking crazy?! they are what made star wars, redoing them with wanky blue screen would be sickening to watch!

    Oh and before you ask i dont live in my mums basement masterbating furiously to the princess and jabba. But i do work in IT.

    If Goerge did do this please take the time and money to build some real sets. You dont get storm troopers hitting their heads on low ceilings in blue screen and its golden moments like that which make me watch the films again and again. God im such a nerd.
  • H0ser
    The made for TV movies might be an introduction into the series. Sorta like what battlestar galactica had with its mini series.
  • Stupid George
    Make Luke land in the LOST island, and maybe then we will watch it
  • The dark side, I'm afraid, has taken over him

    *in Yoda's voice*
  • serge
    no,no,no,no, is rubbish, the last three episodes puag!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  • PYPO
    POR DIOS QUE DEJE DE JODER LA SAGA!!

    QUE HAGA AMERICAN GRAFFITI 2, 3,4,5,6...

    PERO QUE DEJE STAR WARS!!
  • no
  • Dennis
    great news, i have realy like all the movies 1-6.

    Didn't he say one time that he was giving episode 7-9 to some other director to do?
    It was going to be about the jedi's getting back in control, and the sith order trying to stop them.
  • Jared
    I bet the movies will be about Boba Fett. George did say that the movies will be based on other characters, not part of the Skywalker family. The story of Boba Fett would be a good one I think. Knowing George, he will probably even splice in clips from the original Star Wars Return of the Jedi when Boba Fett gets eaten by the thing.

    This isn't even confirmed people.

    Where are you getting this slashfilm? From your ass?

    These are not the movies that you are looking for. You can go about your business. Move along.
  • Lord Navelfuzz
    Damn...I was hoping he'd finally make "Howard the Duck II"
  • Los Disappointos
    This will be good if:

    1. Lucas does not direct the films.
    2. Lucas does not write the screenplay for the films.
    3. Lucas only has a part in funding the films.

    And I can't believe he called Spidey 3 "silly with no storyline". Has he read his own writing? His movies have the best action, they lack story and plot depth. He's a moron.
  • FunkSith
    That's not new news as last year, it was already announced there would be one
    movie (2-hour worth) about young Yoda and how he leads the remaining Jedi to
    destroy the Sith Order.... that might explain no Skywalker as it'd be 700 or so years before the 6 movies.

    Bring it on I say!! Lightsabers duels to no ends!
  • Dan Fielding
    @Star Wars Cards - Your a dumbass. You are just hanging on to the hope you will get to wait in line for 2 days for movie tickets, since you have no life. These are going to be 1 HOUR TV PROGRAMS!! It is going to SUCK! Deal with it you punk!
  • they are goin to be about what happened inbetween episodes 1 and 2 and 2 and 3 lol THERE ARE GO1N TO ROX!!!!!!1!!!!!!!!!!!11?1?/1/!!!/!??!!!!!!!!1
  • Lucas Sucks
    Lucas SUCKS.

    It may sound like an idiot's mindless comment, but nothing more really need be said. He SUCKS. And Star Wars is dorky.
  • They almost sound like pilots for a tv series.

    Are you mental?
  • Ham
    Lucas can do what he wants with HIS movies, get over all the things you didn't like about the movies and accept, some people like the idea of this. Everyone is entitled to their own oppinion and do not deserve to be pointlessly insulted for that.
  • Jason Lamb
    Oh for f••ks sake, he's not making two more movies. He's making a live-actions (mini?) tv-series that's been announced for close to a year now! That's what the quote is relating too...
  • Roland
    Good 'ol George needs to pass the sputtering torch of the Star Wars legacy over to somebody new, someone who would of NEVER allowed or created a character remotely close to Jar "fracking" Jar

    The SW Universe has so much potential in the right hand's it's not even funny!

    It certainly doesn't need a watered down, trivialized hour long tv show /crazy

    :(

    Im a big fan of the star wars novels. Almost all of the 100+ novels center around the Skywalkers and/or the Solos. The next novel which comes out at the end of May takes place 40 years after the dealth of the Dealth Star. Luke, Leia, and Han are old folks but still play large parts in the story. Keep in mind that these are official Star Wars stories which Lucas owns the rights to, Picked the authors, and controls the content of. Official Cannon, Lucas sanctioned Material. I Hope they stay true to the long, rich story line that exists in the Star Wars fiction
  • Search your feelings people...you will know what I am about to say to be true...

    Apple and iPod are all over this. The reason you'd make it two one-hour films rather than (at least one) feature-film release is because people will download this until the end of time. Each movie will be released on iTunes for download, and will be the #1 most-downloaded video of all time.

    Think the problem is that people in general have forgotten the magice the full-scale theater provides. For me, I'd never opt for watching a movie on my (albeit a bigscreen) over the theater experience. Because that's exactly what going to the movies is...an experience.

    Saying that, I can't BELIEVE people would actually opt for having a movie on the ipod in their pocket over seeing it in the theater, but again, that appears to be what's going on....
  • chris
    For heavens sake................NO ....enough already. NO more star wars please..
    as a fan of the movie's....the story is now done with.... i know he not going to
    talk about luke and hans etc....enough
  • Actually its based on kotor
