New Star Wars Sequel Announced

In a shock revelation today, Lucasfilm announced a new Star Wars trilogy to be in the works.

In the worldwide press conference held today at Lucasfilm’s HQ in San Francisco, California, Lucasfilm revealed that characters from the original trilogy like Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia, Han Solo and Darth Vader will return for the new sequels.

Journalists present at the conference were shocked when Darth Vader’s name was mentioned. One member of the press was quick to remind wasn’t Darth Vader dead in Return of the Jedi? Lucasfilm’s spokesperson smiled and replied apparently everything is not what it seems to be but refuses to elaborate more.

When asked about the storyline of the new trilogy, Lucasfilm remained tight lipped but said that due to the popularity of stormtroopers around the world, George will be writing a subplot which tells the story of a lone stormtrooper who escaped from The Rebel after the battle on Endor and his adventures looking for droids on far away lands.

A short teaser trailer was screened and a leaked version can be found here.

    Wow, I guess the waiting has paid off. I’ve forgotten all the classic lines for Star Wars(shame on me…), but what I can say is “The Force is strong with this one…”.

    I love the trailer, but where’s Jedi?

    I believe that this story is about a lone clone trooper. But from the looks of the movie poster, it looks like a 501st clone trooper. The Stormtroopers’ armor is also similar to the one used during the Clone Wars. Not the fight against the rebellion.

    Darth Vader is not dead? How can that be?

    Nice Try, even in the EU, Vader’s a dead man.

  20. 20 thesixteenthzephyr 12 August 2008 at 11:38 am

    Yay for reading the comments first…. But you had me going before that. Haha…. Star Wars is a wonderful but tired series, can’t say I’m disappointed….

  21. 21 andra 12 August 2008 at 6:45 pm

  24. 24 Q 12 August 2008 at 8:47 pm

    It’s always better to check the public reaction before proceeding, just like when like one goes buying figures and gunplas via online shops (which reminds me of your reijin).

    Nevertheless it does sound feasible to me for Lucas to remake the original Star Wars. Nice one on getting so many people there Gordon.

  25. 25 gordon 12 August 2008 at 8:56 pm

    @ all,
    thanks for the comments and enjoy the video! *laughs*

    @ FatB,
    lol. gotcha!

    @ Raven,
    good observation. i can’t find a nice stromtrooper pic so decided to use this blue clone trooper instead. beside i like the action pose of this 501st trooper. :)

    @ Persocom
    Happy Birthday! ^^

    @ Dancing Queen,
    thank you. went through lots of brainstorming to come up with this.

    @ marvin,
    hehehe… ^^;

    @ deftoned,
    LOL! i love that lockon’s reference.

    @ Hexlord,
    you’re welcomed. thanks for coming.

    @ Coco the Bean,

  28. 28 yumeno 12 August 2008 at 11:43 pm

    NO! I got tricked again, damnit. =/

  29. 29 roast-beefy-weefs 13 August 2008 at 12:27 am

    The poster gave it away immediately :P

    The only believable bit was the part about Darth Vader being alive because Lucas is enough of an asshole to do it.

  30. 30 Lsio 13 August 2008 at 12:59 am

    very excited about this new star war movie… wait…rickroll…

  39. 40 Stifler 14 August 2008 at 11:51 am

  40. 41 bzou 14 August 2008 at 3:28 pm

    @ bzou
    thank you and enjoy the video. ^^

  42. 43 iron2000 17 August 2008 at 12:25 am

    Almost got rick-rolled.
    Nice one.

    A new trilogy?
    7, 8, 9?
    Wow.

    Are the actors for the original characters old already?
    Will they return in as lead roles?

    Stormtrooper subplot.
    Cool.

    3 for the past, 3 for the present?, 3 for the future??
    Or will it continue right after 6?

  43. 44 gordon 19 August 2008 at 11:39 pm

    @ iron2000,
    not to worry about the actors getting too old for their part. all the original characters will be enhanced with CGI effect since george is so good at doing it.

  44. 45 Mizunaga 23 August 2008 at 2:01 am

    If only it were true. orz

  45. 46 MarcSy 23 August 2008 at 3:12 am

    Looks authentic to me… X_x Definitely Orz
