...and another thing that Mark said that seemed to ring true, was that George wanted to make the middle 3 films first because they were more commercial and entertaining that the first 3 films which were much darker.

It's apparent to see that the first 3 films were supposed to be darker, but of course George has tried to make them into fun childrens entertainment at this point. This is why they are so awful. They are intended to be these dark films but george has copped out and tried to make them all fun.

It's definitely true what Mark said tho, that the first 3 films are less entertaining!

It would be good if he could let Speilberg run with it after all, like some of the rumours are suggesting.

Something definitely seems to be going on tho. Mark has suddenly come out with this stuff which implies he thinks it's okay to talk about it now. Chewbecca has been signed on for episode III but also another 3 films and there was an advert for employees at ILM that mentiones working on episodes 7,8,9.

I guess we will see!
