EXCLUSIVE: Lucasfilm Gearing Up Another Star Wars Trilogy In 3D?!?!!

EXCLUSIVE

Jim here. Here is a strong rumor that should whet your appetites! (or sour them if you have had too much of the franchise). I have been hearing rumblings... extremely quiet at first, but now heating up significantly and from a trusted source - that George Lucas is preparing to unleash another STAR WARS trilogy upon us, this time in stereoscopic 3D. This is NOT the TV series, these are brand spankin' new 3D STAR WARS movies.

Yes, the pending 2D to 3D conversions of his six existing STAR WARS properties are still a go as 3D theaters are approaching 3000 (5000 is the number Lucas wants). No word on when this work will be completed.

But here is the shocker: Lucas will be producing and NOT directing these new episodes apparently! Could Steven Spielberg be tapped to direct a STAR WARS movie after all? Yes according to a trusted source of mine! Further, Francis Ford Coppola was mentioned too as a possible director for a future film!

A lot depends on the success of AVATAR this winter - if it takes off like everyone is expecting it to, then you will most likely see three additional STAR WARS movies added.

What an interesting competitive box office landscape that would make over the next 6 to 10 years! James Cameron's AVATAR world vs. George Lucas' STAR WARS world. I could see Lucas getting a little jealous over a successful launch of AVATAR - jealous because it is a fully articulated universe, like his. And if he doesn't act on it - his franchise may well be relegated to a back seat as potentially the records will start falling to Pandora. Heck STAR WARS is still not 3D yet and what better way to try to maintain a lock on bragging rights than to launch into three more in native stereoscopic 3D.

How seriously should you consider these rumors? Well it is coming from a source that SHOULD KNOW. This source is absolutely connected. So odds are it is seriously being talked about at Lucasfilm. Right now. Will it happen? AVATAR will have to hit and hit big and then all the stars have to align properly - all I can do is pass on the info.

Personally I WANT this to happen dearly. I REALLY want to see what the STAR WARS universe looks like in Spielberg's hands *AND* in stereoscopic 3D. You would too, wouldn't you? :-)"

DMC86X · 10-21-2009, 11:57 PM

Episodes 7 8 and 9??? Or will it be different charecters??? Either way Ill believe it when I see it.

Please make it stop.

I was just asking myself the other day, "Could JarJar be worse?" I guess this answers the question.

Tyger · 10-21-2009, 11:59 PM

I'd be somewhat interested if it was 7-9, but this whole 3D thing just turns me off

Propellarhead9 · 10-22-2009, 12:00 AM

I had heard that he wanted to release 1-6 in theaters again in 3rd. There had been a rumored sequel trilogy for a while but it always gets shot down anytime someone talks about it. I would love to see them turn like Heir to the Empire or the Young Jedi series into movies or at least some sort of TV series be it animated or live action.

katharsis · 10-22-2009, 12:00 AM

I think I just threw up a bit in my mouth...

If this rumor happens to be true. I would like to see it set right before 4 5 and 6 or after them. I am so tired of Clone Wars and those dumb "roger roger" battle droids.

Coppola to direct Star Wars?

Bullshit

If he were to make another trilogy, I'd say get Guillermo Del Toro in this trilogy. His vision of a Star Wars world would be awesome to see.

mikejet · 10-22-2009, 01:31 PM

I wouldn't believe this rumor. Lucas will just re-release the original trilogy in 3D.

Rumor of another Star Wars trilogy as been around for 30 years

People are just getting confuse. Lucas want's to turn the 6 movies in 3D not make three new movies.

SpaceDog · 03-02-2010, 03:43 PM

If there is truth to the rumor, lets hope he does choose to produce and get other people to write and direct (even if he plots). Star Wars always tends to be better when Lucas isn't the sole authority in charge of the project.
