Too late for that. Unless u exclude Harrison Ford.

And as much as i would like to see a VII VIII IX, i don't see how it can be done. if any SW movies should be made, it should be a novel from the Old Republic or something before or during the Clone Wars.

three films about the old republis would work too.  Just the fact of  how much profit these films would bring in guarntees their eventual making. There is no  two ways around it. I agree that  7 8 and 9 if directed and writen by george would probably suck as bad as the PT   but I would hope he has learned something  or would hand the ball off to someone else. Know lucas he would have the ewoks and gungans in episode  7.

You know, I think Star Wars and Empire are awesome, great movies, you know, the usual rant...

Then Jedi is still good, I love it but I'm biased because it was the first movie I ever saw, but there's a significant drop in quality compared to SW and Empire. It's tolerable and the movie still has a lot of redeemable moments.

Then we had The Phantom Menace, another big drop in quality, this time is not so tolearable, at least it still looks like a film for the most part, and Liam Neeson did a good job and in short it was not the clusterfuck that the other prequels were.

Which brings us to Clones and Sith, incredibly, from my point of view, there was another huge drop in quality when compared to TPM. I'm not sure which is worse, maybe Clones, because I feel nothing in it makes any sense, but Sith is pretty much the same shit with a slightly cooler ending and whole lot of ridiculous moments. So I guess one could say the quality remained the same with those two.

Anyway, my point is that every SW movie, with the exception of Empire has been worse, and many times a whole lot worse, than the last, so for that reason I don't think there should be another trilogy, by the time we get to Episode IX we'll be on Ed Wood territory.

Not a big deal to me. Just do something that involves a whole new cast of characters.

I have always thought an episode between 3 and 4  would be a good idea  as there is much that can be shown  and  their is a back story to take  to it.

At the end of episode 3 the death star is under construction. In a new hope no one knows what the death star is as they approach it in the falcon but all the sudden obi-wan  knows its a space station. I have always thought the force told him that and I still do but there is a chance he knew because he has seen it and been on it before. Hence vader telling ben on the death star "you should not have COME BACK"  as if he had been there before. Vader tells luke that obi-wan once thought as he did when luke tried to turn him back to the good side of the force. That can be bens reason for being on the death star at that time.  Going to try and make one last attempt to save his old friend. Not to mention such a film would give us a chance  to see costumed vader  in saber duels.Which Im all for if it is not the ninja kung fu sword styles we got with the PT. We  could get to see vader hunting down what is left of the jedi. they numbered in the thousands. no way order 66 killed them all.  Plus  qui gon could be in it mentoring obi-wan and training him.

There is much  an episode 3.5 could touch on.

That's what the upcoming live action series is.

 Yes, there's enough material to make an episode 3.5 even if it was a fan film, a fan animated film or whatever. The live action series... I think GL won't be doing it about Vader persuing the Jedi; IMO he will do as usual, about "the trooper's pov, and the smugglers pov". Why? Because he loves it. He loves those pov, he not only did it in the clone wars, but he put a greaser as a pseudo-HanSoloish character in Indiana Jones IV, and is making a movie about the pilots in WWII.

He loves this characters that have "fonzie's style", and loves to show the quotidian side of things in his galaxy far far away.

When did I ever mention the PT in my post?? ;)

 Second the story line dictates it  and it needs it.   After episode 6 the  galaxy is still in turmoil. the  jedi council  needs to be restablished and the republic rebuilt

 I for one never thought this. The Empire is destroyed, and things are looking up for everyone, and the people did it without Jedi (for the most part) so why are they so important?

Hal it's funny, one moment your bashing the hell out of George and his prequels, then the next your talking about how he should do more work.

Yes I do hate the PT films.  They make me sick. i also hate what Lucas turned into and what he has done but that doesnt mean he cant redeem himself.  He knows     how to make  star wars good again  if he wanted to.  Hire kasdan again and maybe another talanted writer  and bring in a great director and hire kurtz back. Bring back the peoplwe whop have emotion invested in the story  and people that actually care. Rick mcallaum is pure scum
