    Okay, has anyone read this interview with Lucas, where he was talking about how both he and Peter Jackson, director of Lord of the Rings, were dividing vast epics into smaller peices? And Lucas said, "I'm making nine two-hour movies from one book." My source for this is Darkhorizons.com, which quoted their source as an interview with George Lucas by Fox News Channel. What's with this? Is it possible there really will be Episodes VII, VIII, and IX?

    Lucas has already made a public statement that he was misquoted in the interview. The truth is though that he is on record from the 1980s describing his intent to make 9 films. The likelihood is that he misspoke out of habit, since 20 years ago that would have been his standard answer.
