...George Lucas has revealed, after much speculation that after Return of the Sith that he would go back and start work on Episode 7,8,9. He had said he 'always felt the story should go on' and that he would 'love' to continue the saga...Oh well I gave up after the second prequel and Jar Jar Binks

I read somewhere (maybe theforce.net) that there might be a Boba Fett based TV series set between 3 and 4...this would tie up some loose ends that will be left at the end of Ep3....probably never happen though.

*Taps Borat on the Shoulder* That wasn't meant to be taken seriously, I was merely pointing out that old George boy seems to have made it his mission to completely ruin the franchise he helped create, directing two films that while entertaining in places (especially the acting) are an insult to the original films.
And as much as I'm looking forward to seeing a huge space battle in episode 3, Lucas has left too much unanswered that hes going to have to pile drive into the final film that, along with his inability to make a cohesive story through the first two films, will probably lead to a confusing, rushed mess.
And Lucas had far less to do with the original trilogy as he did with the moderns one, only directing one of the films and getting assistance with the scripts.

Maybe Lucas will die of old age in between making episode 3 and episode 7, and someone else can do it who's actually half decent.
Oh, and;
"using DNA samples from Luke's severed hand to produce a clone of the venerable Jedi Master"
This has happened already in one of the books, so somehow I highly doubt it.

You don't think that's a bit over the top? I mean, if it wasn't for Lucas, we wouldn't have the original trilogy that everyone is so keen to praise, then when he makes a further 3 that are inferior, he's the anti-christ?
I still think Episode 3 could potentially be good, and I didn't think Attack of the Clones was too bad either. Except all the scenes featuring Jar-Jar, C3PO or R2D2. These characters need to be dropped, perhaps cleaved in two by a ticked off Darth Sidious.

Lucas has a great imagination, there's no doubt about that, but when it comes to character development and scripting he's always needed help.
He had help mostly in the original trilogy, but he seems to want to write the entire prequel trilogy on his own. I'm sensing a little bit of power-madness..

George Lucas is the anti-Christ, no doubt about it. It's bad enough he's alienated his fan base with the three modern, wretched pieces of guff he insultingly calls Star Wars, but that he wants to continue to do so by making more!!!!!
Amen to that final paragraph.
It's amazing to think the whiny little brat he is becomes probably the most venomous and evil character ever.

Yah, to be fair, Darth Maul was pretty cool. He was quite scary, so obviously, had to be killed so all the boring politians could live and pretend to be any threat whatsoever.
Where's the people that don't care for the force? Someone who can't beat a good blaster? Pah. Where's the crazy thrillseeking one? And not bloody Anakin, who has been ruined as a character.
"I hate everyone!"
Well done Lucas, you managed to almost reach the charactistical depth of an angsty teenager. Where's his contempation? Wouldn't it be more terrifying, surely, to have made Anakin silent, confused and more paranoid of himself? No, instead he's this stupid, stupid teenage boy who we're supposed to believe completely loses himself to power and become the darkest and most terrifying figure created in fiction. George needs to sit down and think about what he's done.

I caught the end of the second one the other day.
Bits I liked in Phantom Menace:
Darth Maul fight with Liam Neeson and Obi Wan Renton
That's about it

A New Hope is awesome, and Empire Strikes Back is one of my favourite films of all time.. Return of the Jedi is pretty good, if only for the ship battle and Luke/Vader/Emperor shin-dig.
Phantom Menace was all the worst bits of Jedi crammed together, and Attack of the Clones contains the worst love chemistry of all time, compared to the beauty of Han and Leia in Star Wars and Empire.
"I just slaughtered children."
"I love you."
