New "Star Wars" Trilogy Planned?
Sun, October 24, 2010 
Not sure who is running the site known as Inland Empire Strikes Back, there has been so many changes over there the last several months it might be R2D2.
That being said, the site has released a rumor about the possibility of some new "Star Wars" films. After weeding through a couple paragraphs championing the sites past scoops, you finally get to the meat of the story.
After the announced 3D release of the previously released six "Star Wars" flicks, which is already mind blowing news to the freaks and geeks, Darth Lucas is planning on dropping another three films on the public.
The rumor is that the movies will have nothing to do with the live action series no in development and will be financed by Lucas and company using the obvious gold mine they will make from the 3D re-release.
The films will be sequels to the already established 6-film foundation but most likely will deal with a whole new set of characters. So same universe different tales of space cowboyism.
I know, sounds completely crazy. Could it be an attempt to overwhelm a website with a crazy amount of hits, or is it so out there in a galaxy far, far, away it could be true? Of course a LucasFilm spokesperson came out and denied the story:
“This is, of course, completely false,” Lucasfilm spokesman Josh Kushins told Wired.com in an e-mail Saturday about the report. “George Lucas has plenty of projects to keep him busy right now — including plenty of Star Wars projects — but there are no new Star Wars feature films planned.”
The Powers That Be denying a story doesn't exactly mean anything, happens all the time. I guess we'll have to wait until just under a decade to find out if this is true or not.

There will probably not be another series of films. Would be cool. But these talks pop up all the time.
Lucas is a technowhore. There's no way he can resist the power of dark side (AKA: playing with all of Jim Cameron's new toys).
