Star Wars Update
Blockbuster Buzz - Times Online - WBLG: Star Wars returns to the cinemas: "Depending on your level of geekiness you describe either Revenge of the Sith or Return of the Jedi as the ‘last’ Star Wars movie. Now it looks as if there will be another possibility to further confuse matters. The official Star Wars website has confirmed the recent rumours bubbling throughout the web that Lucasfilm will be releasing their new, all-CGI, ‘Clone Wars’ feature in cinemas before transferring to television for a weekly series. It's thought that Lucas also still intends to continue with the live-action Star Wars TV series that was widely reported in 2007."

Actually, I consider The Empire Strikes Back as the last good Star Wars movie. Return of The Jedi was too much rehash. I mean they had already destroyed the Death Star once.
Randy, you are a scholar and a gentleman. Lucas made two good Star Wars films, then he imposed Ewoks on us and everything went downhill from there.
I didn't want to mention the Ewoks(shudder). From what I've heard over the years, The original idea was for the battle to be on the Wookies' home planet. Then Lucas decided to go "cute" because there were more commercial possibilities. The story probably would have been better if he'd stayed with the original idea.
I detested the whole Jedi pestilence. At least the Sith had some ambition. The whole movie series focused on the dullards of the galaxy, which they must have been, if two Sith could always handle a hundred Jedis. You'd think the dumbass Jedis would have taken a clue from just that and gone over to the other side just for the whopper of a power-up, if for no other reason.
Just three months ago [2016 as I write on here] they released THE FORCE AWAKENS.
It was a very good movie and ALSO a very, very big disappointment. A lot of hype, talk and advertising for movie which has a good portion of the plot borrowed right from the 1977 movie STAR WARS. At least from some research I don't seem to be alone in feeling this.

For RETURN OF THE JEDI, it was true, in some interviews it was said to being in planning as taking place with a whole group of the Wookiees - with Chewbacca or on the planet they lived. Though Chewbacca was too advanced, too capable and so the concept was inverted so they were primitive small furry beings (not of a stature of the giant as Chewbacca). Or so I heard.
