Lucas on SITH and INDY 4

By Charley September 22, 2004 7:51 AM

George Lucas discussed "Revenge of the Sith" while speaking with the Empire: "Everyone gets killed in the end," he said. ?He also denied the "Star Wars" 7-9 rumors and talked a bit about the fourth installment of the "Indiana Jones" series.

Regarding "Revenge of the Sith," Lucas confirmed that filming was complete. ?"The last shot of 'Star Wars' has been shot, and now I have to cut that all in. I'm really happy with it. It's very dark," he said.

Mercifully, Lucas refuted recent rumors that he was writing the next "Indiana Jones" script. ?"Another writer has started working on it. We're just not going to make it unless it's really good," he said, but did not go on to say who would be judging what "really good" means in the Lucasfilm world.

"Revenge of the Sith" is due out next year and the fourth "Indiana Jones" movie is still a twinkle in George's eye. ?More news on these films as it develops.

Awww! He's spoilt the ending! Anyway, I wouldn't consider Lucas writing the Indy 4 script such a bad thing, I mean he did write the original Star Wars so he can't be all bad.

True, but he also wrote "Episode 1," which did for the "Star Wars" films what Indy 4 might do for the "Indiana Jones" films if Lucas doesn't pull something out of his ass.  I think the problem is that he can't live up to the quality that the originals gave us.  Anyway, "A New Hope" was okay at best.  The story itself is intriguing (Lucas was right on the money there), but the film could have been better.

Well, hopefully neither Lucas or Spielberg will feel the need to drench Indy 4 in CGI so as long as that happens I'm not too wary.
