Lucas has said that he is doing no more movies I know, but Hamill has stated in an interview that there will be at least 3 more Star Wars films, I know it is probably debatable but honestly, if the original cast reprises their roles Im all for it!

      I think a Star Wars TV Series is a great Idea...after all...Star Wars was modeled after the old TV Serial's(like Flash Gordon)! And There's a Void right now on TV...no Star Trek, 2 Season's left of Smallville, 2 Season's left of "24".

      So why not visit a familar Universe...That We all know and love! Heck...it's about an 18 Gap...between Episode's 3 and 4. A LOT of Storie's to be told. And need I say...DARTH VADER!!!!

          Not sure how I feel about this...but I'll reserve Judgment until I see it. Mark Hamil should grow a Beard...to give Him, the wise old Jedi look.

              Remember when Vader was torturing Han in Cloud City---those screams
              he made???

              Now imagine Carrie walking out in that suit and his reaction---with those screams overdubbed----perfect

              If we WERE lucky enough for there to be episodes 7, 8 and 9
              I don't know if that means Chewie'd actually be killed as that was
              an event that took place in the novels and Lucas only considers about
              1 or 2 of the novels to actually be "official canon"

              I always though the idea of 7/8/9 revolving around the Solo/Skywalker
              children rebulding the Republic and the Jedi order was a fantastic idea

              Crotchedy old versions of Han, Luke, Leia and even Lando would be hilarious
              ---and in a good way I think

              The idea of a feisty 75 year old Harrison Ford gun-toting Han Solo being
              shown up by a bunch of young Jedi whippersnappers cracks me up

              More Millenium Falcon baby!

              And I'm looking forward to this piece of dialogue----

              HAN SOLO: Okay junior----we gotta go rescue your mother and the other
              Republic dignataries---time to dust off the ol' Millenium Falcon.

              YOUNG JEDI SOLO: Okay dad, you go calibrate the hyperdrive and we'll get going.

              Han Solo walks off to find Chewie.

              Solo Jrs. friend looks at him and whispers.

              SOLO'S JEDI FRIEND: What the hell's an Aluninum Falcon?

                You might be getting this in the next Indiana Jones movie.

                  I hope so. Ya know why?

                  Not just for the humor element---but because its realistic

                  Let me put it this way----Sean Connery was a real hero
                  as Dr. Henry Jones in Last Crusade----did he have to do a lot
                  of action stuff to give off that impression? No. Quite the opposite.

                  I'm not saying I prefer Indy to be as "immobile" as his dad in LC, but
                  I do hope there's a nice shot made at grounding Indy----as he's
                  admittedly a lot older guy by now

                  "Its not the years---its the mileage"

                  If they don't riff or reference that classic Raiders line at some point
                  in INDY IV I think they'll be missing out on a great opportunity

                  That should be the dang tagline for the movie

                    I have huge doubts that the Star Wars series will be anything I want to watch...I despised the prequels and Lucas has done everything possible to suck the life out of the original Trilogy (which I adored as a kid and young adult) by injecting as much CGI as possible to "complete" his vision (effectively making them as fake and plastic as the prequels). I have very little interest in anything Lucas does now.

                    BTW: I agree with Thunderbolt about Boba Fett...He's an incompetant boob (as was his dad). The only things I find remotely cool about him are his uniform and his ship.

                      George Lucas did ruin the original trilogy, Im sure everyone hear has heard the ol' saying "Han Solo shot first". I hope the series isnt ruined with CGI and flashy colors which are meant to impress us, Im hoping for something more original than Jar Jar Binks (who I cannot stand!). Maybe now Im just being preachy
