New Recruit
Hey guys,
I wanted to comment on an issue which has been hunting my thoughts for quite a while.
More or less in 3 years from now Episode III will be premiering but once the last scene of the film fades away on movie screens, it will be the end of the Star Wars saga as we know it, or so they say.
What will happen then?.......
Will that be the end for us fans as far as collecting goes?...
Will there ever be an expectation for a continuation of the Star Wars universe through films?
Needless to say, Star Wars is the story of Anakin Skywalker, a story which ends with Darth Vader's death in Return of the Jedi but, there is also plenty of story us fans would love to be told about.
Taking a deep look into the events of the story, there is a huge gap between the Endor celebration and the new come of the Republic, those are about 25,000 years which haven't been touched, which haven't been told. So there's a lot to cut from.
An anthology approach could vitalize the story, allowing for fresh tales to be produced with all new characters.
What other worlds are there packed with stories of adventures and triumphs to be known?...
It has been said many times George Lucas has no plans for sequels but....what if?
It would be very frustrating on us, fans, if Lucasfilms do not continue to produce more of the story in some "shape or form."
There has been a great amount of fan films which have been produced out of the love for "The Story," The interest as well as the number of fans all over the world for anything Star Wars related have increased. The great success Episode I was and the great success to expect for the upcoming films can only lead one to believe, Star Wars has kept on building a legion of followers generation after generation and it should remain "alive," whether on the small screen or the big screen.
Then again..what if? what if Mr. Lucas would realize all this and would decide on making episodes VII, VIII and IX. Wouldn't that be an extraordinary news?
I clearly remember the interview given in March of '97 by Rick McCallum to a magazine. He was asked if there were plans for a sequel; he replied by saying: "... if the audience were to love the prequel trilogy and it was a success then, we would start thinking about VII, VIII, IX"
Remember, also, that when Lucas wrote the original saga, there was the basic outline of a total of nine stories all together.
So, is there hope then?
Will there be more made as a follow up after Return of the Jedi?
Hopefully Star Wars will not come to an end with Episode III Hopefully George will decide to keep providing us with so much entertainment and fun. The decision will be his and his alone. One thing we know for sure is that if he decides to carry on, it will come from his heart.
How do you guys feel about this? :vader:
