Straight from George Lucas. Is this exciting or what? Read it here: [http://www.supershadow.com/starwars/lucas/](http://www.supershadow.com/starwars/lucas/) > [@](#): > > We do have plans to make Episode 7. Right now, I’m burned out from making Star Wars films and would like to take a long break before even thinking about the next trilogy. Tell your teacher that Episode 7 will be in theatres by 2021. Time flies. Episode 7 will be here in an instant. > > … > > Yes, a few years after Return of the Jedi, Leia joins the new Jedi Order as a > padawan. Leia will be seen wielding a light saber in Episode 7. > > … > > Yes, Mace Windu went to an unknown planet and set up his home base. The name of this planet will be revealed in the film versions of Episode 7, 8 and 9. From time to time, Windu would make clandestine trips to see Yoda on Dagobah and to visit Obi-Wan on Tatooine. > > … > > The fact remains that SuperShadow will control most of the production services for Episode 7, 8 and 9. Shadow will hire the actors, producers, directors and everyone else associated with the next trilogy. My role will simply be that of executive producer. My job will be to set up all the financial agreements with 20th Century Fox concerning the distribution of the films in theatres around the world. I’m the overall boss, but SuperShadow will actually have all the control in creating the sequel trilogy. Can you imagine how great these Star Wars films will be with Shadow at the helm? It would be like God making films. I can’t wait. Episode 7 is the most anticipated film in world history. This guy SuperShadow is conducting the interview and is a real close friend of Lucas, so it HAS to be legit. ---

“Lucas” certainly seems to have some pretty specific details for a trilogy he’s not even thinking about. ---

Refresh my memory: is this the trilogy Lucas claimed he’d never even considered making? ---

This would give Lucas well over a decade to learn how to not suck. It could happen! ---

Seeing as there’s no link to any official lucas website ([lucasfilm.com](http://lucasfilm.com) or [starwars.com](http://starwars.com)) and that the official sites don’t mention it and even specifically say the saga is complete. This is a load of bantha dung. ---

I think this is the first time I’ve ever seen a Mary Sue insert themselves into the production end of a popular franchise. Fantasizing about being Luke Skywalker’s best friend is kinda sad. Fantasizing about being George Lucas’s best friend is downright pathetic. ---

Won’t happen. If it does, I can only imagine how badly it will suck- Lucas has proven over and over again in recent years that not only is he not sure how to make a good movie, but he’s forgotten what anybody ever liked about his movies in the first place. ---

That’s an alarmingly scary site, **HubZilla**. The “rebuttal site” **beagledave** linked to is even worse in a way. In fact, they appear suspiciously similar in tone and language usage, and my first instinct is to suspect that they have both been produced by the same person or persons in order to slag off Star Wars fans. However, such an effort would seem to imply a level of fanaticism even greater than if the websites had been produced independently, so I’m not sure which is the more disturbing possibility. ---

Y’know, if Lucas had actually used a name instead of “SuperShadow”, and if the named person were someone other than the person conducting the interview, and if Lucas had not compared someone other than himself to God, and if he had not said that it would star a guy who, you know, DIED in Episode III, then there might be some small shred of credibility to this. Not much of a shred, mind you, but a small one. ---

I dont know whether his site is meant to be a joke or that he’s serious about it. When I first stumbled upon that site even I thought it was genuine…until I read that “interview” with Lucas. Supershadow is a lunatic. ---

George Lucas [was born in 1944.](http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000184/) In 2021, he’ll be 77. He’ll need to be in carbonite a few years to do a third trilogy by that time. ---

“We?” Remember, most manufacturers recommend that you clean the filter grate on your sarcasmometer every three months to prevent loss of signal. A little isopropyl alcohol on a cotton swab should suffice. ---

[QUOTE=vaderspal] Or are we being whooshed? 😛 [/QUOTE] Absotively, posilutely. Funny thing was, this SS dude was taken with a modicum of seriousness during the prequels run-up. Naturally, these Lucas interviews all but show he was false. Now I wonder if he’s deluded, or been putting us on the whole time.
