i just saw episode 2 today, and i was very impressed. really good.
anyway, here's my question:
i always thought the order in which the episodes are supposed to be release is episode 4, 5, 6, go back to 1, 2, 3 and complete everything with 7, 8 and 9.
but someone told me that episodes 7, 8 and 9 were a false rumor. anybody know if it's true?

As I have said before....the Star Wars story is about a little kind boy (Anakin), who turns into a monster of a man(Vader), and then is redeemed by his own son (Luke)in the final chapter.

it would be cool if some other director could make the movies... but I'm sure Lucas wouldn't allow that, and they'd probably turn out like crap anyways...

There was NEVER nine!!! You obviously didn't read it properly!
It says fans expected it - not Lucas!
"When you see it in six parts, you'll understand," Lucas tells the magazine. "It really ends at part six."

"Lucas does say that there will only be six episodes, not the traditional nine, which we were raised to believe existed!" lamented one anguished Star Wars newsgroup denizen, expressing a betrayal even greater than when Lando Calrissian sold out Han Solo to the Empire.
"Well, that really makes my f---in' day!" wrote another.
.......see!

I think we may have misread each other. I'm saying that Lucas originally made it out to hav 9 parts, but he's only going to do 6 - due to time mainly! That's all i was saying.

No Lucas never intended 'ever' to have nine episodes - you are so wrong!

heheheh
eek, didnt mean to offend or insult u Jedi Chris.
But there are 9 episodes in Star Wars, just not all of them are to be made into films. He only intended to make 4,5&6 1st of all, then he decieded to make 1,2&3.

No sorry you are wrong!
I have read what you claim are Episodes 7, 8 and 9. There are absolutely loads of 'other' Star Wars stories as well, they aren't 10, 11, 12 and so on...
.....jeez you weren't even born when Star Wars came out!

Yeah, i understand that Thrawn and so on arent 7,8&9, but I'm sure that George Lucas had 9 episodes written out.
I wasnt born during the first world war, but i still got an A for my history coursework on it ;-)
hehe, this is almost a little battle. I dont want it to be tho :-/

unfortunately jedi chris, you are wrong. MLS is right, and as thus you are demoted to padowyn. george originally conceived the story line of star wars based off of some asian one [did you notice the kensai-ness of master yoda in this episode? i was surpised he wasn't a horny little devil, although george showed his first 'bare gurl ass' in the blade runner-esque bar scene! whistles to that!], and it was in 9 parts.
he chose to do episode 4 of nine because of steven spielberg's success with jaws.
george said, 'i'm going to make a movie that is purely marketable [ever seen space balls?]
at the time everyone thought he had lost his mind, but think about it....
episode 4 had everything to make it a hit, adn lucas knew that, thus his decision.
the whole knight rescuing the princess from the villain, etc.
lucas did star wars to make millions, and prove that the movie industry should be more than what it was then.
he is responsible for the mecca that it is today. he has always pushed the envelope in the industry, for that is what he is:an innovator.
it was his original intention to do the middle of the 9 part story, for it had the most public appeal > the fairy tale ending.
he had no idea he was going to be so successful at it. after 15 years of mind shattering success and outcries for more, lucas chose to further revolutionalise the industry by makign the prequel trilogy.
he has stated that he personally will not do episode's 7-9, nor are there any plans for rights to be licensed to do it.
this is do to the numerous books and comics [including the heir to the empire trilogy] which lucas has licensed.
he felt that, through tthese stories, the star wars universe has been accurately depicted after episode 6.[ there are soooo many! i have 38 novels and stopped collecting years ago!]
however, the stories before, were so shady and secretive that lucas would onl;y allow a few select details to be published and only mentioned in retrospect.
to my knowledge there had been no stories prior to the maki

making of episode I a few years back that took place pre episode 4.
it would appear that the marketing genius that has just announced indiana jones 4, had been planning the prequel, given the opportunity!
lucas knows full bloddy well that after episode 3 he will have milked the star wars market for all it's worth!
in addition to that, he's getting old! [teh story line of 7-9 is pretty boring in comparrison anyway!]
to answer your questions: splinter of the minds eye took place after episode 3 [ and is now coupled with the tales of lando calrission] and shadows of the empire took place after episode 4 [ dash dies in the book, althought he video game suggests otherwise], the courtship of leia, after 6 [when i read this 8 years ago, i was living in switzerland and it arrived in a package for me with salt and vinegar potatoe chips. something about the 'whole being on the other side of the world from your family' coupled with my 'sucker for cheese' personality made me bawl like i was reading some trashy romance novel!], adn the heir to the empire 5 years after 6.

old issues of star wars insider, and i mean old! not sure if there is a star wars insider site? check here starwars.com after episode I, my fanatacism kind of died. that one was definately made for his kids! episode II redeemed it a bit though! george actually said, he doesn't know how much appeal ep3 will have because it is way darker than 2.
he's not sure how it will be taken by audiences. as long as there is no jar jar, then i'm assuming well!

I do agree with you about ANH, that film was indeed intended to be an 'all round family film ' because he didn't realise what a success it would have.
But there is nowhere that says that the 'Heir to the Empire' are the official Episodes 7, 8 and 9.....
I also disagree with what you said about Episode I . . . I don't think it was made for his kids at all. I'm probably one of the only people here who liked the film, and I cannot seriously see what people don't like about it. (And thats not a cue to start discussing it....because I can't be arsed!!! We've been down that road before)
