REVENGE OF THE SITH is about 9 months away and then it's the end of STAR WARS films as we know it. Or is it? Remember Lucas's original plan to film the prequel trilogy and then focus on the sequel trilogy - Episodes 7, 8 and 9? That plan was ditched and eventually Lucas decided to simply film Episodes 1-3. But now reports are starting to surface (as we grow nearer to the end of this trilogy) that Lucas may be prepping his team for yet another trilogy. TheForce.net reports that folks at Industrial Light and Magic were required to sign Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDA) recently to keep their lips sealed on all things regarding Episodes 7, 8 and 9. Right now this is obviously just rumor as TheForce.net readily admits, but an interesting rumor nonetheless. It does seem odd that a Lucas inforced NDA would be broken so quickly after it was drafted but perhaps ILM staff is just so excited they had to leak word out somehow. One theory has it that Lucas was burnt out making Episodes 1-3 and couldn't see himself going forward with a new trilogy - his new plan however would see him handing off the reigns to a new creative team (like how Genndy Tartakovsky created the "Clone Wars" shorts for Cartoon Network). Take all this information and add it to what else we know and it makes for a compelling rumor. Only time will tell...
