It still seems to me that he envisioned a larger narrative in which the story continues after Return of the Jedi, even if only as backstory for his own reference. And if, as stated, Lucas will be involved as some kind of consultant in further films, perhaps some of that story arc may yet be forthcoming. That's a possibility that excites this Star Wars fan.Call me Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17704646008578216859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3338557.post-12667272158202514482012-10-31T12:09:55.322-04:002012-10-31T12:09:55.322-04:00 I was shocked to learn not just the Star Wars rit... I was shocked to learn not just the Star Wars rites, but all the wonders of Industrial Lights and Magic were sold. For good or for bad, it was his to do with as he wished. Now and before, btw. <br /> I would say as a fan I start and end with the six films. For many of the same reasons as you, it is just so vast. Doctor Who is my shiny right now, but maybe before Christmas I could look at Clone Wars again. csmith2884https://www.blogger.com/profile/11875341022359650085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3338557.post-47605380073681548232012-10-31T05:59:29.379-04:002012-10-31T05:59:29.379-04:00I like Star Wars, and Disney does good work.

I have no problem with any of this, and I can't imagine sitting on a franchise like Star Wars and keeping that lightning in a coffee can in perpetuity.

The 'nine movies' trope referred to a third trilogy that Lucas hypothesized after his original story resulted in just <i>two</i> trilogies.
