I have no problem with this at all.

I would be happier if Lucas didn't write or direct them but let a more competent team put them together.

SW fan JJ Abrams would be ideal....or perhaps Christopher Nolan.

Please no JJ Abrams. He fucked Star Trek already

I didn't read the whole thread and am not the first person to notice this error

It's not an error, though.  It's a joke.

Means a double "fail" for me :-)

All that comes to mind is, "crap, here we go again", if this is true.

Contains several clips of GL saying there's no more SW movies.

Have you seen RLM's reviews?  This joke is, I believe, an allusion to one of the reviews.  If you had seen the review, you might find the allusion at least mildly diverting.

Am I the only one who believes this is possibly related to the upcoming Star Wars: The Old Republic MMO? Those type of games either flop, or generate a ridiculous amount of money and a large subscriber base.

And from what I've read (although personally, I have no intention of playing TOR, which ironically in my language means "feces") it's an insanely expensive project. The most expensive game ever, with a budget higher than that of a prequel movie? Surely they must be expecting millions of subscribers and a huge revenue.

And since that thing will probably reach its peak a few years after release, accidentally around 2015-16, why not release a new set of movies then? The release date of Star Wars 3D already coincides with that of TOR.

IMHO, it's all a hugely powered all-round media drive to milk out Star Wars as a franchise.

If a good writer and director were behind it, I'd love to see a new trilogy based on BioWare's Knights of the Old Republic game. Sadly, I can't see this happening...

I bet whatever LucasFilm makes, if anything, it will be complete stupidity. I'm not exited at all.

They come and go every few years. Last I remember was during Revenge, there was a rumor Peter Mayhew was signed on for more movies.

I wouldn't be terribly confident in new movies, but I'd see them sooner than I'd see the others in 3D. 

I'd just hope it didn't turn into some sort of EU "Pantheon of non-Sith dark siders trying to destroy the universe."

Please Stop Mr. Lucas!!!

Wait six months, the same story of a "secret new trilogy" will be wheeled out again, and it'll be just as horse-crap as this story always patently was.

If they were to make more SW movies and after the failure of the prequels, they should call the first one 'A NEW HOPE'.........oh, that's already been used.

I don't give two shits.

If they were gonna do a sequel trilogy, they should have stuck with their post-ESB plan and given us an Episode VI with a more open ending, then done the sequel trilogy in 1987, 1990, and 1993, followed by a different prequel trilogy in 1997, 2000, and 2003.

 I remember reading Lucas plan right after Jedi came out, and all through middle school I would wait anxiously for the Sequel Trilogy.  Back then without the internet, you just kinda hoped when the spring rolled around for that first TV spot of a Star Wars movie.  By 1987, I was in 8th grade, and finally gave up hope for the ST. 

What is there against Rick McCallum? Does he have any creative input at all? Isn't he a logistics man who does Lucas's bidding? I know his voice is grating, but seriously, how does he even deserve blame?
