he announced officially in 1990 at the florida star tours that he would start working on the new trilogy at the end of the 90's. before that he had been pestered in interviews about the prequels and he never denied he wouldnt make them. i dont get older fans being so in the dark in regards to the prequels. i had been waiting for them most of my life

Well this makes me want to become a Trek fan. All post 1990 Star Wars anything OUT OF MY HOUSE.

Scratch that, post '89.

Hey, I like Star Trek. *wink*

I just wish Lucas would stop skirting the issues. Okay, so we all thought that episodes 7, 8, and 9 were going to happen, but that was pre-ROTJ. Lucas combined all of those story ideas into one movie, so essentially when you watch the end of ROTJ you are watching what would have happend at the end of Episode 9.

Why doesn't he just come out and say that instead of, "Oh it is all a lie by the media." We all know that the sequal trilogy won't happen because that trilogy is basically ROTJ in a nutshell. But we had to find that out through secondary sources instead of Lucas himself because he a friggen' liar.

Not doubting you battlewars but do you have a link to this documentation? Remember us older fans did kinda follow a LOT of what the old boy said... we didn't have too much else to do. No internet you know!

Well, in that case he's not lying about the whole "I never thought about what happens after Return of the Jedi" line of his.

Tell me battlewars, in the pre-SE/pre-PT era, were you a Lucas-gusher?

Wow, it's hard to believe how much Lucas aged just in between 1990 and 1995! And those costumes in that first picture look horrible!

There is no lingerie in space…

Not that that is going to stop you from dreaming… Only in this case, Gaffer is actually a guy.

I think 'Chewie' was a rejected costume from the Country Bear Jamboree!

anyways i always knew theyd make the prequels, in the first zahn books from the early 90's he was forced to take out anything regarding the clone wars

Wow! Mark looks hot in that first picture! He even looks younger than he did during ROTJ even though it is 7 years later!

Not too shabby. That's a great hair style he's sporting there too. Kind of like Ewan's Episode I Obi-Wan.

Eh, I think it's a bit too short, but you're right, he does look very youthful in that picture.

Yeah, that Chewie costume looks pretty horrible. Looks like a friggin' idiot with his mouth hanging open like that. Chewie never looked like that before!

I guess he took too many drugs during the rest of the '80s.
