· The rumors about Lucas’ plans to make Episodes 7 – 9 were a “manifestation of the media.” He then joked that it “would be fun” to come up with a new Star Wars trilogy when Harrison (Han Solo) is 70 and have everyone as old people.

As I asked him, Lucas leaned back a moment and said to me “Very little.” When he first had agreed to let people write Expanded Universe books, he had said “I’m not gonna read ‘em” and it was a “different universe” that he wanted to keep away from the time period of his saga. He jokingly complained, however, that now when he writes a script he has to look through an encyclopedia to make sure that a name he comes up with doesn’t come too close to something in the EU.

He later commented that the future of Star Wars may lie in other venues outside of feature film. With the conclusion of Episode III, Lucas’ saga of Star Wars will be over, however he did not rule out the continuation of the book series, or even television spin-offs similar to the Clone Wars shorts currently airing on Cartoon Network.

So it seems that with the fall of Anakin Skywalker, the saga of Star Wars on film will come to an end. But from Lucas’ commentary, it’s not likely that the myth of Star Wars will fade into oblivion. On the contrary, though the adventures of Luke, Han, Leia, Chewie, Anakin, Padmé, Obi-wan, and Jar Jar may be at an end on the silver screen, it’s possible that the future (or the past) of Star Wars still may hold yet other adventures to entertain and captivate audiences on television for years to come.

Witzige Randbemerkung:
· The bad acting in Episode II was “done on purpose” and is "part of the style.”
