Lucas' idea for new Star Wars Prequel?
Posted May 25, 2005, 5:27 PM ET by Peter Sciretta
George Lucas said he was finished with the Star Wars movies. Ebert didn't believe him, Karina didn't get it, but more importantly - WE wanted more. Stupid Us. It seems George Lucas told a scooper that he has an idea for another add-on to the Star Wars movie series: a prequel to The Phantom Menace. The story would follow the Jedi regaining control of the universe from the many Dark Lords some 88 years before Anakin Skywalker ever graced the universe. Yoda, who, according to Lucas, was instrumental in the effort, would apparently have a headlining role. However, Lucas, now age 60, says he won't be captaining such a ship if it ever happens.

He says he's finished, but like a two-year-old on the Loo - has he really?
George Lucas tells a scooper for Cinescape that in the back of his noggin' he has an idea for another add-on to the "Star Wars" movie series : A prequel to "The Phantom Menace".
Nope, not the adventures of young Jar Jar Binks building an underwater haven - but the tales of the Jedi regaining control of the universe from the many Dark Lords some 88 years before Anakin Skywalker's bowl cut ever graced the earth.
Yoda - who was instrumental in the effort - would apparently have a headlining role.
Granted, Lucas, now 60, says he won't be captaining such a ship if it ever happens though. What's the bet FOX is going to lock him in a room, tie him to a chair and request he does anyway though?
Personally, I say go the sequel route - earring adorned Harrison Ford back as vest wearing Solo, whiny Skywalker training Jedi Tykes, C3P0 getting into trouble at Mardis Gras - much more interesting : and Hey, we've already got "Knights of the Old Republic" the video-game to serve as background info on the pre-Anakin days.
Meanwhile, "Revenge of the Sith" hogs the screen at every multiplex and is making quite a packet in doing so - it's now one of the biggest films ever. Yep, bypassed "Mannequin" about five minutes into it's first screening

Say... maybe this could be how Yoda gained good relations with the Wookies???? Chewbacca would be in his mid 70's/early 80's in it so he could easily show up.  I dunno if I calculated that right.... Chewbacca was like 200 when he died.... so yea he could easily show up....
And there'd of course be a young Palpatine in it....Yoda probably killed Palpatine's master...

I hate to be Johnny-Rain-Cloud but can anyone else see any prequel to a prequel be a bit naff, it'd be like the Enterprise of the Star Wars world.
Zuk, being a Johnny-Rain-Cloud
