Steve Sansweet has just written a post over the the official Star Wars Blog that - I must admit - makes me feel a little better about these new developments. Most intriguingly, he has the following to say about the upcoming films:
"But after the prequels, George was very clear that his days of making Star Wars movies were over. Little did I know that, behind the scenes and very quietly, George had started to come up with some storylines for at least three new movies set in a period sometime after Episode VI: Return of the Jedi. I think the fact that George found so much enjoyment coming up with new ideas for The Clone Wars series spurred him on. He just needed to find the right person – and the right set-up – to carry on the Star Wars legacy."
Does this mean we really are in for new Luke, Han, and Leia adventures?
