If Lucas dies before Episode Three then people will be spared uninspired computer generated cartoons with banal dialog and situations and will generally attribute the prequels to the ravings of a lunatic in the twilight of his years.
When he does die, the only thing I’ll have to say is “Yipee!”
You guys are clearly too jaded. I, for one, believe Lucas when he says he’s had the entire storyline planned from the begining. So never fear folks, he probably finished the script for episode three right after he wrapped up the filming of Return of the Jedi.

Actually this was meant as a serious question. Should’ve seen it turning into SW/Lucas bashing.
Im not a SW junkie, but I would be bummed to not see EPS3 and know how it all happens.
Does anyone have any SERIOUS response to this question? Would there just never be an EPS3?
Leaving aside Lucas’s merits and shortcomings as an entertainer, I find it quite disgusting that you would cheer at the occasion of someone’s death. You don’t like his works, don’t watch them, or perhaps write scathing criticisms. It’s that simple, and doesn’t harm your reputation the way your foolish childish comment above does (even though you probably did not mean it).
It’s not like Lucas is a fountain of evil that the world will be better off without. I can understand why you would say you would cheer at the death of someone like Osama Bin Laden, but George Lucas? Give me a break and consider rethinking your mode of expression.
I know this isnt really the thread for this subject (but its my thread so THERE!) I have noticed that trend on this board as well. Alot of people wish death on others and think its funny or take it very lightly. If someone close to you just died and you read a thread about someone laughing at Lucas’s death you would probably react negativly.
Its not cool to wish death on anyone unless you really mean it. And I doubt that anyone REALLY wishes Lucas, or any non-child-molesting celeb, were dead.
Anyway, back to EPS3.
On the web somewhere there is/was a rather large petition for Peter Jackson (Lord of The Rings) to take over Star Wars
There wouldn’t be any more Clonetroopers with helmets that look like a cross between a The Rocketeer and a giant plastic vagina.
:eek: Yeah you better run! You are evil
I say a clone will take over. Think about it…Star Wars is now actually…topical. Whodathunkit?
As to a serious answer, well, there’s a pot of money to be made, so I think someone would do it.
Lucas planned it all. When he had Leia refer to the “clone wars” back in 1977, it was part of his master plan to use the movie’s $400 billion in revenue to promote genetic engineering so when he finally dramatized these wars, cloning would be topical.
The Ewok idea, though, was just the result of a drunken weekend in Tijuana.
He didn’t really spend over a decade writing episode one, did he? <shudders>
Ten years writing the script for episode one? I think not. More like ten minutes.
Ooh, ooh. If Steven Spielberg dies, can we get Quention Tarantino to do it? He has experience with this sort of thing…plus, the movie would be great, with more cussing and cooller film angles.
If Lucas dies, then Ep2 will probably be a MOVIE with ACTORS, instead of a CG Cartoon.
If he dies, that it was all part of his master plan. After all, he must have forseen when he began writing the Star Wars movies that he would not live to see the end.
Back when I was in junior high, I heard that Lucas was supposed to make a total of twelve Star Wars movies, releasing one every three years for most of the first half of my life, at least. I feel totally gypped that he didn’t do it, but on the other hand, the movies don’t move me now (in my thirties) the way they did when I was adolescent.
Since there are hundreds of books about the Star Wars universe, I’m sure somebody competent could step in and make the future movies, if it were necessary.
Yeah, he could have Samuel L. Jacksons Jedi character spouting things like:
“Pass me my lightsaber. Its the one that says Bad Mother Fucker on it.”
and
“These aren’t the motha fuckin droids yo lookin for.”
