I love how

When we know EXACTLY where they're from.

eh? Find that, cus I'm not inclined to believe it.....Eveything has to go through him.

I found a source for where I heard about ep 7,8, and 9. Lucas wrote a introduction for Splinter of the Minds Eye, copyright 1978. i quote " As the saga of the Skywalkers and the Jedi Knights unfolded, I began to see it as a tale that would take at least 9 films to tell- three trilogies-and i realized, in making my way through the back story and after story, that i was really setting out to write the middle story." This means to me that Lucas had an idea of what happens after RotJ. Almost specific ideas or plots. I want to know if those thoughts became the EU as we know it, as was really started and made "popular" ( for lack of a better word) by the original Zahn books, or was something else different entirely.

I know im a real geek when this is what I've spent my life thinking about

I would like to see a much later starwars movie.....100+ABY or around the KotOR era

Yes. A KOTOR age movie would rule, and I've been wanting a movie about the Mandalorian wars forever. But 7, 8, 9 would be lame if it was about the same three main characters. The legacy of the Force books are pretty good, but I not impressed by the one I read, which was the Joiner King, Dark Nest 1. The story was ok, but the writing was bad. One of the few trilogies I never finished. He used the same analogy almost every chapter, I counted it 13 times. Now I only read books from the 90's, with the exception of the RC books.

I do not think so.

It depends on how long after episode six episode seven is set.

They have managed another Indiana Jones film so it is possible.

only because a fourth indiana jones was never thought of, Star Wars after ROTJ was already made. you'd need new actors and everything, you can't just re-write the whole EU, the people would be super pissed off.

It could work if it was set after the current series but I agree with you. The EU would have to be included in it. If it starts after the latest series then at least you would get the fresh storyline.
