Author	Topic: Shadow Jedi, eh?
Hoo-Ry_Droce Registered: Feb '04	Date Posted: 4/2/06 10:35pm Subject: Shadow Jedi, eh?
	This has something to do with Shadow Jedi (and whether or not they exist). A friend of mine found the following information: "Star Wars creator George Lucas initially wrote summaries for fifteen stories that would make up the Star Wars saga. Out of these fifteen stories, Lucas originally planned to film only one of them as a feature film. Then, in 1978, following the success of the first released Star Wars film, he publicly announced that he would create a total of twelve films to chronicle the adventures of Luke Skywalker (in the original scripts, the character’s name was Luke Starkiller). In 1979, Lucas retracted his former statement, saying that he would instead make nine films.[3] Four years later, having completed Return of the Jedi, Lucas announced that he was finished with Star Wars and no additional films would be made. Finally, in 1995, Lucas suddenly announced that he would produce a trilogy of prequels (Episodes I, II, and III), for a total of six films. He also claimed at the time that he had always envisioned "the whole thing as a series of six films". 15 books. 6 turned into movies." He's saying that those other 9 books go in-depth into the 'Shadow Side' of the Force. Seeing as how I've never heard of the other 9 being published, I thought to ask here. Any thoughts, ideas, comments, etc?

	Allow me to refer you to the 60 some-odd novels that have been published in the last 15 years. I would imagine that the "Shadow Force" in question was the ambiguous nature of the Force presented in the NJO??? -----signature----- Yeah, I have my own icon.

	He didn't write 9 other books persay. He only had a notebook of PT ideas until he started working of TPM in 1994. My bet is that Lucas has a few outlines and a notebook of ideas on where he would have gone for more movies He says he contracted 7,8,and 9 into ROTJ by making Leia Luke's sister, simply put. If you have questions about a possible sequel trilogy, there is an official thread... I will find it for you in a few moments EDIT: http://boards.theforce.net/Star_Wars_Community/b10012/6813234/p1 There ya go -----signature----- Champion of the 6th installment of the 2004 Jedi Draft YOU WERE THE CHOSEN ONE!

	The Shadow side of the force? probably not much help here, but i went to the force academy( i think thats what its called), and the "force master" explains a version of what"shadow jedi" are....in his own way. But it is interesting to read none the less..CLICK HERE -----signature----- Galactic Defenders: Jedi knight " Sleep is for suckas". --ApolloSmilieGirl "Michael Jackson is a Yuuzhan Vong"-- Guinastasia Blackmoon Squadron's noble flight officer and uber custodian

Any thoughts, ideas, comments, etc? Lucas flip-flop? Who could have guessed?! On a serious note, where exactly did your friend find this information? And please don't say Wikipedia... because that just discredits the entire thing. -----signature----- Dark Lord of the DLC You're no daisy... you're no daisy at all.

	I've never heard o fthe 15 stories.
