Prequel to the prequels??? George Lucas thinking about it

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!

! 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...

*Deathknight* · 05-26-2005, 02:10 PM

No.... enough.

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

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

*Brodie* · 05-26-2005, 03:22 PM

Sounds like KOTOR.

Peanut · 05-26-2005, 07:32 PM

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.

*Spitfire* · 05-26-2005, 07:41 PM

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

Peanut · 05-26-2005, 07:47 PM

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

*Brodie* · 05-26-2005, 09:26 PM

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....

Peanut · 05-26-2005, 09:47 PM

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* · 05-26-2005, 10:02 PM

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

*Shudders* I guess dead girls cant say no

*That Matt Guy* · 05-27-2005, 01:15 AM

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.

*Tetsu Deinonychus* · 05-27-2005, 02:19 AM

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

*The Stryker* · 05-27-2005, 02:21 AM

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?

*Tetsu Deinonychus* · 05-27-2005, 02:24 AM

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

*The Stryker* · 05-27-2005, 02:42 AM

"Choke a Bitch, Does yoda Have to?"

That's what the TV show will be for.

*Mecha Cow* · 05-27-2005, 09:45 AM

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.
