I know, he keeps saying that...

...but something tells me he's a liar.

I also think he doesn't want to take the focus off his current projects.

I remember seeing am interview with Lucas in his private study. Behind him setting the scene was a bookshelf filled many of the books you would expect George Lucas to have. (Cambell, etc..)

Upon seeing the books in GL's library, a friend and I thought it would be interesting to still frame and zoom in on the book titles, just to see what George was reading.

Among the volumes was a recently published book called what else?

Telling Lies.

I think THIS may be the book in question.

So you never know what the future holds.

I also remember reading a post over at Episode-X that was an excellent collection of "Lucas Quotes" regarding the matter. He's actually said quite about the subject. (I wish I had saved that post.) He's actually said enough to make me think he's lying.

If I could read his mind right now, I would say that his hubris is telling him that the Star Wars TV show will last 7 to 10 years. Then after that series has run it's course, and possibly after another couple of years worth of media silence, he will suddenly decide to fullfill his original promise of 9 films.

A trilogy of trilogies.

Who knows...

George Lucas on Star Wars & Indiana Jones
Source: MTV Friday, September 10, 2004


George Lucas talked to MTV and he reassured that Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith is the last live-action film in the saga (though a TV series is in the works, more on that here).

"The original 'Star Wars' was only three films, and that was what it was meant to be," Lucas said. "After a lot of pondering and thought, I went back to do the back story, but that pretty much tells the story. Episode six is the end. There isn't any more to it."

THE HISTORY ACCORDING TO GEORGE:
THE STORY CHANGES EVERYTIME HE TELLS IT, WHEN MY GRANDMA STARTED DOING THIS WE PUT HER IN AN OLD FOLKS HOME.

Heh.

Images of George being carted off to a 'home' in a wheelbarrow. Lalalalalah...

Maybe someone should start a care facility for directors who've lost 'it'.

I see places being reserved for Spielberg, Landis, Reitman and Sonnenfeld to name just a few.

Are you saying we should put GL on a nurse home?

"I shouldn't be here! I created Star Wars and Indiana Jones!"
"Sure you did grandpa..."
"And I created Howard the Duck, and... I'm pretty sure I've created He-Man... I think..."
"Sure, grandpa... Want more pie?"

The words "live action" make me quiver a little bit. Those don't need to be in there to say what he wants to say, unless there are non-live action movies on the way.

Maybe shudder is a better word.

Hey motti I live in that house.

We just call it the house of ill repute.
