I have many serious doubts about eps 7-9. One of the most glaring fact about making them is that Lucas is around 60 right now. Average 4 years per movie, Eps 2, 3, 7, 8 + 9, that's 20 years. He'd be 80 when he finishes.
Even he doesn't know if he'll finish. And Nimmy-chops, I doubt he said that in an interview. It has always been held that Lucas would be the ONLY one to do Star Wars. If he died before Episode 3, then so be it.

No, he said it allright. It was in one of the most official "behind the scenes: TPM". He would probably let someone he trusts, someone close, to produce and direct. He'd be in the shadows, pulling some strings I guess. It lies in his interests to develop the SW-universe, it's his baby.

IMHO: I'd rather Lucas made the Sequels to the first trilogy than the prequels. cause frankly I hate the prequels. A 9 year old kid races a piece of junk at 400+ mph, wins, then get's into a fighter for the first time, and blows up a giant battleship. that is BS. I think that "The Courtship of Princess Leia" would've been a cool movie. and maybe the Corellian Trilogy. Or even a book or two from the Rogue Squadron books. They'd all make great movies. But NOT a 9 year old kid who can fly better his first time than a seasoned veteran. even though he has the force with him. Akin to Luke Skywalker in the trench run. But luke had his T-16, and his Landspeeder. Plus he had beggar's canyon, which is alot harder to navigate than a straight trench with a hole at the end. Sorry if I offend and Prequel fans, but this is just my opinion.

Pay attention to the Episode numbers. Lucas is working on I, II, and III right now. The "classic trilogy" is Episodes IV, V, and VI. How the smeg are you going to have "sequels" to the prequels between Episodes III and IV? We've all been talking about Episodes VII, VIII, and IX -- set well after Return of the Jedi.

He said the first trilogy - yes... I took him to mean the first trilogy made by Lucas... the first trilogy we saw... at the moment there is the first trilogy plus one episode of the prequal trilogy... He meant the eps seven eight and nine, instead of one two and three.

Hmm, if they'd started in 1990 with the prequels we could've had the last trilogy now, but the graphical effects would've sucked for I, II and III. And if they would've sucked then maybe Lucas would've had neither the motivation nor the money to make the last trilogy.
I think it IS important to do the prequels, there are so many issues that need to be shown. I have heard good things about Ep II (what little I've heard, I don't like spoilers), I think it'll work.

I don't know. Episode 1 sucked from I heard.

Ep I sucked from you HEARD? Well, if you haven't even seen it then go suck a sock!
I think the good stuff outweighed the bad by far, but I sense the same people that get seriously angry at Trek inconsistencies were mad that Darth Vader himslelf built C-3PO. Oops, was that a spoiler?

I've read a snippet from Ewan McGregor saying in my words... Ep 1 sucked - yeah. Ep II though has a much BETTER script - he basically said it wouldn't have been hard to better ep 1's script.

I'd rather have seen the sequels to ANH,ESB,and ROTJ(just to clear up some misunderstandings). Not the prequels. If he had to make a prequel, then i think it should have been about Ulic Quel Droma(excuse me if i spelled it wrong, but i've always had trouble with some names), or the Clone wars, or even the sith wars. that'd be cool.

The Clone Wars? Just what do you think the next ep's going to be about, anyway? The Clone Wars is the general theory.
