[Anne Thompson] Are you planning to do the final trilogy as well? To make it a saga of nine films?
[George Lucas] No, no. [After Star Wars came out] somebody asked me if I was going to do a sequel. And I said, “I’m doing the other two parts to this one.” And they said, “You’re doing this trilogy – do you have any more?” And I said, “I’ve got a backstory, which I’ve got laid out. I could probably do that.” And they said, “But are you going to do a sequel?” And I said, “I guess maybe I could do a sequel at some point.” And that got turned into doing nine films.
So it’s really six films.
It’s six films. It’s really not nine films. It’s extremely unlikely that I will go on and do any more.
