George Lucas said he was finished with the Star Wars movies. Ebert didn't believe him, Karina didn't get it, but more importantly - WE wanted more. Stupid Us. It seems George Lucas told a scooper that he has an idea for another add-on to the Star Wars movie series: a prequel to The Phantom Menace. The story would follow the Jedi regaining control of the universe from the many Dark Lords some 88 years before Anakin Skywalker ever graced the universe. Yoda, who, according to Lucas, was instrumental in the effort, would apparently have a headlining role. However, Lucas, now age 60, says he won't be captaining such a ship if it ever happens.

He says he's finished, but like a two-year-old on the Loo - has he really?

George Lucas tells a scooper for Cinescape that in the back of his noggin' he has an idea for another add-on to the "Star Wars" movie series : A prequel to "The Phantom Menace".

Nope, not the adventures of young Jar Jar Binks building an underwater haven - but the tales of the Jedi regaining control of the universe from the many Dark Lords some 88 years before Anakin Skywalker's bowl cut ever graced the earth.

Yoda - who was instrumental in the effort - would apparently have a headlining role.

Granted, Lucas, now 60, says he won't be captaining such a ship if it ever happens though. What's the bet FOX is going to lock him in a room, tie him to a chair and request he does anyway though?

Personally, I say go the sequel route - earring adorned Harrison Ford back as vest wearing Solo, whiny Skywalker training Jedi Tykes, C3P0 getting into trouble at Mardis Gras - much more interesting : and Hey, we've already got "Knights of the Old Republic" the video-game to serve as background info on the pre-Anakin days.

Meanwhile, "Revenge of the Sith" hogs the screen at every multiplex and is making quite a packet in doing so - it's now one of the biggest films ever. Yep, bypassed "Mannequin" about five minutes into it's first screening.

Raph's Girl note: A Yoda movie!! I'd watch it! :o ! Say... maybe this could be how Yoda gained good relations with the Wookies???? Chewbacca would be in his mid 70's/early 80's in it so he could easily show up. I dunno if I calculated that right.... Chewbacca was like 200 when he died.... so yea he could easily show up.... And there'd of course be a young Palpatine in it....Yoda probably killed Palpatine's master... :P

Actually, that's a pretty good idea...

If you don't want to see more, don't watch 'em.

This is actually a very original idea that will do more to expand the mythology behind the Jedi and Sith

Sounds like KOTOR.

The stuff with Yoda was some of the best in ROTS. I would love if they did this. I was actually thinking that a spin-off movie or two is pretty much inevitable.

The prequel is called Knights Of The Old Republic and it has a better story then anything Lucas currently could come up with

But doesn't KOTOR take place a thousand or more years before TPM? I'm pretty sure it does. Besides, the KOTOR stories aren't all that great anyways.

Yeah it takes place right before the Republic destorys the Sith. And then yeah you destory the Sith and kill Darth Malak who I like better then Vader...I dont know why but I liked the story alot more then any of the new movies and in some ways even the old ones. The whole idea of how everything isnt to advanced but theres still aliens is a cool concept to me

Wow, did I not mention KOTOR in my post prior to SPitfire?

....It's like that episode of the Twilight Zone where no one can see me....

It's not that you don't exsist. I've just become accustomed to skipping posts whenever I see your name. It's probably something about zombies and/or making love to zombies, anyways.

Brodie

Yeah, my zombie sex posts have been popping up more frequently.

Maybe I dont read the whole topic before I post! Or maybe I just wanted to add to your idea....or maybe I dont like you!

^^Or maybe all that above is a lie! Except the not reading the whole topic part. I dont really always read the whole topic. I have my own opinions and if they happen to be the same as someone elses then maybe we think alike o_O

Zombie love :dead: *Shudders* I guess dead girls cant say no

I'd rather see how the rebellion formed, and the early struggles they had against the empire. I've had enough of these crazy Jedi wizards.

I say we NEED another prequel trilogy! But, all about Jar-jar!!! Heesa the REAL star of the Star Wars saga!

The Prequel Trilogy already gave us a Breed of 12 year old girls who think Anakin going to the Dark side was Totally Wrong. Do we need another Breed thinking Yoda is Dreamy?

Well that WOULD be funny as hell! As Yoda would say "A certain way, have I, with the ladies!"

That's what the TV show will be for.

I think it would be kind of weird if Lucas decides to go through with this. I am aware that there's an entire universe behind the movies, but the films have always been about telling one specific story set in that universe. This concept sounds more like a spin-off, and I think it would be better suited for a separate series(Ie. Not Star Wars Episode 0 (Wtf is the Roman numeral for zero anyway), but more like Yoda Episode I or something).

Might be a good idea for that upcoming GCI series.

You will... George Lucas has already started the casting interviews and stuff for the live action series.... so next year we'll all see how the rebellion was formed and stuff as the tv series is set between episodes 3 and 4.

Plus there's also a CGI series in the works.

I think the formation of the Rebellion will be pretty cool, but it must have Boba Fett in it in some way. He was one of the most important bounty hunter in the galaxy, and even dealt with Vader in ESB to get Solo.

That Matt Guy

Well, yeah it would be great if he made an appearance but not if he was there through the whole entire thing. The Star Wars universe is small enough, it doesn't need Boba Fett getting involved with every conflict.

Well... if there were any more movies, I vote for sequels showing Han and Leia and all that. Please, NOT a Yoda movie. *groans* ANYthing but that.

And, um, besides... George is re-releasing all the origial Star Wars movies in 3-D one a year beginning in 2007....

...oh, and um, I'm back from vacay! ;) :)

Brodie

If they did sequels, it wouldn't specifically be about Han and Leia. It'd most likely be the New Jedi order.

Voltron
05-30-2005, 07:06 PM
I'd like to see that, too. The battle between the Jedi and the Yuuzhan Vong...that'd be bad ass. But if it's Yoda? Just as good. Star Wars is Star Wars is Star Wars...in any event I get my fix.

Mecha, if I'm pry wrong about this, but I don't think the Romans had a value to represent nothing. My history's a bit rusty though.

Why don't they just make movies for the three stories that happen *after* Return of the Jedi? There IS a trilogy of books that cover the time about 15 years after that story.
