    IESB Exclusive: The Line Starts Here...Again! New Star Wars Movies Planned

    Don't start packing up your lawn chairs and igloo coolers just yet, but there will once again be "camping out" for a Star Wars movie. IESB has learned some news about the future of the Star Wars franchise.
    First, let me remind our readers of IESB's past scoops so anyone doubting the news will be aware. From Joss Whedon directing the Avengers, to the recent announcement of Disney's planned renegotiation of the Paramount Marvel deal, to the countless casting scoops, directing scoops, to our solid sources at Lucasfilm.

    Confirmed IESB scoops specific to the Star Wars universe include the first announcement of the PG-13 rating of Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith, the first word of a live action Star Wars TV series as well as the Clone Wars animated series. Yes, all of these Lucasfilm scoops were all first reported here on IESB.

    Now on to our newest big Lucasfilm scoop, ready? George Lucas is plotting to create new Star Wars movies at the ultra top-secret Skywalker Ranch.

    This is déjà vu of the mid 90's when Uncle George starting tweaking the Holy Trilogy to gear up for the Special Editions. That was his first step in moving forward with the eventual prequel trilogy.

    It's happening all over again, Lucasfilm is already hard at work converting the entire Star Wars saga into 3D which will be released starting with Episode I: The Phantom Menace in 2012. The word from our ultra top-secret Lucasfilm insider is that Lucas has gotten the itch and is already looking ahead into launching an entirely new trilogy in that galaxy far, far away.

    What do we know? First of all, these new film will have nothing to do with the live action television series currently in development. That show already has over 50 scripts ready to go and plenty of pre-production time and money has been spent on artwork and storyboards. Once that show goes into production, Lucasfilm hopes to be able to produce at least 100 episodes since that is the threshold for syndication in the United States.

    IESB has been told fans can expect the new trilogy after the entire saga is released in 3D which is expected to be complete around 2015 or 2016.

    Uncle George's modus operandi has not changed, the plan is that he will self finance the new trilogy after he rakes in an expected $500 - $750 million dollars with the re-release of the entire Star Wars Saga in 3D and on Blu-Ray.

    The ideal plan, according to our spy at Skywalker Ranch, is to be able to release a new Star Wars film within 24 months after the release of the last re-re-release (is that right?) of Return of the Jedi 3D.

    Too early for story details but one thing that our source is certain about, they will not be prequels but instead sequels. It's not for certain if they will be the long awaited Episodes 7, 8 and 9 but could instead be Episodes 10, 11 and 12 or possibly even further out in the Star Wars timeline. And by giving space in the timeline, possibly even as far as 100 years or 1,000 years in the Star Wars universe future, Lucas avoids having to make these stories "fit in" with what the previous stories have told.

    According to our sources, the most likely scenario for the films is that they will exist in the same universe but will not have anything to do with the Skywalker Clan. That story has been told, that starship has sailed.

    What has caused this sudden change of heart for Uncle George? Well, besides the obvious possible billions that a new Star Wars trilogy will take in, our source tells us that George has gotten motivated with the success the Clone Wars animated series, the video games and also with the success of Avatar.

    Can we expect Lucasfilm to confirm our story? Have they ever? Nope, I am sure that they will spin this or completly deny the story, but we will stand 100% behind our source.
    I am always up for more lightsaber action, especially if it has nothing to do with the old films (don't mess with it any more GL!!!! *shakes fist*) but not sure what this is all about, I say its fair to geek out a bit until an official announcement from LFL though...

    If he is writing and/or directing this, it'll be a travesty. Oh well, as long as there is plenty of good saber action, Im good. Im good.....

    If you're new, please take the time we all consider just as precious as you and READ!

    UPDATE: In an email to Wired's Underwire blog, Lucasfilm's Josh Kushins says that the IESB report is "completely false."

    It's funny because they said the same thing for Episode 1, 2 and 3.

    Lucasfilms has NEVER leaked info or agreed with rumors, so you really can't take their word for it LOL

    I said it once. I'll say it again.

    PFFFFFFF

    It just doesn't go with Lucas' recent behaviour. He's been expanding the EU in other places, for example the TFU games and TOR.
    I'm VERY skeptical. But it would be cool if he decided to do it right for once.

    i would like to see a sith inspired trilogy maybe tell how the sith became the sith. as much of the jedi that i am i would still like LOAD's of sith saber action.

    but im not gonna get all hyped just yet.

    I'd be far more interested in an old republic storyline, but I suppose that's just because I know the old republic better than post-ROTJ.

    Surely it'd make sense if the supposed new trilogy were to take place say 500-1000 years ABY. That'd tie in well with the existing EU stuff. But knowing Lucas, he probably won't pay any attention to the existing EU, instead breaking all their storylines and making them write more compremise stories to fix the continuity.

    All that aside, I've always thought since way before TPM, that there should be a trilogy of trilogies. It'd make sense.

    God i hope Lucas is too old to write/direct it if and when it happens though...

    If they will do it, they should do them from the time of KOTOR 1-2, since that story is IMO one of the best so far.

    And I sure hope that it will have a lots of closeups of lightsabers and they make another FX line with new soundboards..
