Star Wars Is Alive And Well

I saw an interesting headline on the Gizmodo website today:  "George Lucas reportedly creating Star Wars sequel trilogy (that's not about the Skywalkers)"

That's cool.  I'll take that with a grain of salt.  But, I'm surprised that after six movies, numerous merchandise licensing over the years since 1977 and cries of blasphemy from the fanboys, Star Wars rumors still hold interest.  I have to admit that the prequel trilogy was not as good as the original trilogy and I really haven't been following the current "Star Wars: The Clone Wars" animated cartoon series.  The last Star Wars product I bought was the "Clone Wars" animated movie on DVD (in a really nice steelbook case, by the way).

In a couple of days, "Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II" is coming out as a video game.  I like this trailer for the game.



There also is a live-action Star Wars series being made sometime in the next several years in addition to releasing a 3-D version of all six movies

So, I guess Star Wars will continue to be in the pop culture collective for a while.  I hope George Lucas is healthy enough to see all of these projects through.
