George Lucas has told FOX411 that he will make two more live-action films based in the STAR WARS era.

Lucas stated, "But they won't have members of the Skywalker family as characters. They will be other people of that milieu." The two extra films will be made for TV and probably be an hour long each. He doesn't know where they will end up/show yet. He talked about this some back in April 2005.

Lucas is currently preparing INDIANA JONES 4 with Harrison Ford, Kate Blanchett and Shia LaBoeuf.

Two hour long movies? I guess we'll take what we can get... but why can't they each be two hours long... or just one two hour long movie?

An hour seems like it could just be part of a show. Made for TV movies are usually 2 hours long or more (with commercials).

I guess he knows what he's doing... but yeah... I would love to see this on HBO or Showtime.

Oh it's 2 hours long alright, but Lucas is saving that for the Special Edition DVD.

Miko, when was the last time that the audience (us) really thought he knew what he was doing? Aside from riding the coattails of his own early films to mountains of cash, that is.

Please, God... no more Made-for-TV Ewok movies.
In the name of Christ... no visits to Chewbacca's homeworld, EITHER!!!

As long as someone else writes the dialogue (and the story) I'm okay with more of the Star Wars world coming into existence.

Personally, I still haven't forgiven him for the prequels.

Wow, could Fox's Friedman have come across like more of an idiot. He was all over the place.

I'm not 100% Friedman got the story right. Maybe he misunderstood and is talking about the live-action TV show? Not sure where the 2 comes in, though.

Still, I'd love to see more SW but I'd prefer to see someone else script and direct.

Yeah, this isn't two feature length films...this is two TV films.

I don't know if anyone here has played the Knights of the Old Republic games, but I think those would make good movies. And there are a lot of Star Wars novels out there. There could be a hundred spin off movies, or sequels, or prequels.

MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Oh... don't mind that, that's just the cow Lucas is milking.

I like the idea of a TV show and maybe a mini series and other stories in the universe, but an hour long movie? WTF is he on?

If I see anything furry and cute or schleppy and slapsticky or remotely geared towards my 8 year old nephew on these shows I will personally put a Caterpillar work boot through the tv screen and bill Lucas for the repairs. As mellowdux states no ewoks, no Kashyyk, and I might add no Gungans, no cartoonlike tumbling droids, no aliens who look like current tv personalities, no kids, no beginning text crawls that read like the f*cking preamble to a trade agreement, no uberhype for a bad-ass character that only gets 3 lines and only gets 4 minutes worth of footage, and NO kids. I'm an OLD SCHOOL fan from waaay back in '77 and what Lucas did w/ the prequels ...("Wait a minute we're supposed to be smarter than that..." shhhhyeah), man, made me feel like I wasted 20+ years of my life following his crap.
