Last Week's SW Movie Rumor Round Up

Posted By Mike on December 13, 2009

We really didn't cover last week's rumors that circulated online regarding a possible new Star Wars film as they seemed to have been squashed pretty quickly. All things considered, we got a number of e-mails about the rumors so we should at least acknowledge them.

It all started with this post (caution language) at AICN where the popular site brought everyone's attention to the blog of Thomas Dolby. Thomas wrote the following on his December 5th entry regarding his trip to California:

"My host is friend and former collaborator Paul Sebastien, who over the years has worked for Xbox, Playstation, and now LucasArts. Last night he was telling me a little about the forthcoming Star Wars-related TV show, movie and online games?very cool indeed. I?m not a huge fan myself (and definitely not a gamer) but it sounds like Mr Lucas has got his head into a good place. I met him several times when I was working on a movie in the 80s called [name suppressed to protect credibility!] and he?s a decent chap, but I could have done without the last three SW movies."


The internet went nuts with rumors and speculation as, let's face it, we all tend to get excited when anyone speaks of new Star Wars films. On the 10th, Thomas Dolby added the following correction:

"A slight correction about the Lucas thing that my friend Paul Sebastien pointed out to me: he?s actually not aware of any movie plans, and was just talking about the live action TV show that George had talked about in an interview with an Australian TV station a while back. Paul is only working on the games side, and I know from past experience that he?s very professional and discrete, and would never leak confidential secrets, even to a close friend.

Sorry to throw a bucket of water on it, Star Wars fans: I should have chosen my words more carefully given the ultra-sensitivity of your blogosphere!"



At this point, read into it all however makes you happy. Is there really a new film on the horizon? A new TCW film? Episodes 7, 8 & 9? A pilot for the live-action series much in the way the Clone Wars film launched the animated series? Do you believe the intial blog post or the retraction? Is this really just a massive cover up for Howard The Duck 2? Who knows? When we hear something official, we'll get excited. Until then, have fun speculating!


Thanks to everyone who sent in the news over the past week. We always appreciate the help!
