It actually looks like no one knows...
There are interviews with fatty where he totally denies ever having mentioned 9 episodes... (Big fat liar!) There are also interviews with people who have contracts to be in them. Apparently the special effects studio is contracted until 2012 still, as are certain other companies... But that could all change. My personal belief is that Hollywood always revisits stuff. So perhaps in 2050 a descendant of Peter Jackson will do them again, and make the last three epsiodes into good movies and carry on with the rest.. Look at Star Trek.. Dead and dead again... I bet we see another Star Trek movie in our lifetimes.. DR. Who... Talks of movies, then no movies, now a new series and a another one next season... So I would be willing to bet money that we will see 7, 8 and 9.. I just pray that Fat Boy is long gone by then..

Not only do I agree with Paul, but if Lucas tries to fabricate three more episodes, I will send out a hit squad. That or maybe send him a great big banner that says "BRANCH OUT AND TRY SOMETHING NEW, GEORGE!"
Seriously man, sell your ranch, move into a giant high-tech thatch hutt in Jamaica and smoke some creativity-inducing ganja for inspiration. Listen to some Buffet, eat crab cakes... live a little. There's a whole great big, wonderful world out there George, just waiting to teach you what good script looks like! ...into the light of a dark black night. |

George can't try something new, though, Moogs. He doesn't have any original ideas. Let's look at his rep sheet:

Raiders was a collaborative effort with Lucas and Steven but, yes, it was mostly under Steven's wing. I can't remember the specifics on who did what; so, I'll just have to watch the DVDs again tonight.

Regarding "Raiders of the Lost Ark", I believe the story and general vision was George's. Steven actually directed the movie (with lots of input from George, I'm sure).
Now THAT was a butt-kicking collaboration if there's ever been one! And yes, "American Graffiti" is awesome. Got it on DVD for Christmas, and it's one of those "near perfect" movies. I actually dig everything about it, even though the sound and picture are rough in places. And holy cow...what a cast! Any scene with Terry the Toad just does it for me. "Yeah, that's real tuck and roll. Climb in and I'll let you touch it. Um, you can feel it...um...". And him at the liquor store, buying everything BUT a bottle of liquor, was a hoot also. "Some beef jerky, a comb, the ink pens..." and slyly mentioning the liquor in with all that stuff, in hopes the clerk would just bag it with no questions asked. |

These six will - and should - be IT...for many, many reasons! Anything else left to explore can be done with novels, comics, animated ("The Clone Wars" is actually kinda cool, the few I've seen), etc. I believe George has told the story he wanted to tell. |

THX1138 isn't so far out if you look at the % of the US population whacked on pharmaceuticals.
Ritalin, Vicodin, PhenPhen, Viagra, Valium... a pill prescribed for every feeling. The overmedicated state where will is pacified by the teevee teat isn't so fictional now. And dystopian futures are always popular cult classics after the calendar catches up. Last edited by curiousuburb : 2005-04-08 at 11:33. |
