Yeah, I think it's just fanboy fantasizing. They all think because Lucas was suddenly willing to do the PT that he would want to do an ST (Sequel Trilogy). I don't see it happening. Especially after all the flaming that Lucas has been getting on the PT. But, then again, when has he cared what fans think?

I think we had a thread about this a while ago and we were talking about how far in the future he would have to go to avoid showing andy of his OT characters in the ST. There's no way he could have any of the human characters from the OT in there for several reasons. 1) Fans would bash it more than they bashed Jar Jar, 2) They're too old unless they time the script that way, and 3) I doubt any of them would come back. If Harrison Ford wanted Lucas to kill him off in ROTJ, what are the odds that he would want to do a new trilogy? Carrie Fisher is happier behind the camera as a script doctor even though she does do a very occasional appearance on screen (Jay and Silent Bob is the most recent I can think of). Mark Hamill won't show his face on screen unless he has a beard (Comic Book: The Movie) or makeup (Jay and Silent Bob), otherwise he's just a voice for movies/TV (Batman) and video games (Wing Commander) due to his skin graft scars showing. Okay, Billy Dee Williams might do it just because he has no other discernable Hollywood life (most recent was in Undercover Brother - while I like the movie, his role could have been done by anyone).

Just my two Lincolns.
