I don't care what anyone thinks of the movie itself, this review is more of a commercial. I wouldn't have expected a news broadcast this old to be so vapid.
off-screen, box office, character, then, they (not to mention more grammatical errors THAN I can count)? wtf reviewreviewer1? I'm not sure your limited command of the English language is sufficient to review anything with speech in it. If you are a real fan, maybe you should shut the fuck up and stop embarrassing both yourself and the movies you claim to defend.
Happy 30th anniversary.Released in US theatres during memorial weekend 1980.I was a 7 year old in the 1st grade when I first time saw this movie..."in a galaxy far,far away."
George Lucas at the time said that he was prepare to do 6 more movies after jedi. not counting clone wars. other than prequels 3 more movies that continued after jedi. BUT then again George Lucas said at 2005 that Revenge of the Sith would be last one. So yeah it IS confusing
It's funny how "Empire" and "Jedi" had their own logos designed them that appeared in trailers, posters, ads and marquees like the one in this video, but that were never actually seen in the films themselves. Just the "Star Wars" logo.
Spielberg even mentioned on Omnibus in 1999 that Lucas always wanted to make nine. The Original Trilogy, The Prequel Trilogy and The Future Trilogy which we'll never get to see.
Boy Beta Max sucked the donkey..ha ha. I remember the guy at the Radio Shack telling my dad "Go with Beta Max sir, VHS wont last oast 1982"...Ok then.
Love the Bow-Chikki-Wawa_ music at the end, that was 1980 alright
Betamax was WAY superior to VHS. It died because Sony wouldn't allow other companies to produce clones and so prices never dropped. The resolution of Betamax was 400lines, VHS is about 240lines, DVD is 480!. The Betamax has until recently still been used along with Betacam as a screener format for post houses.
I didn't know that. So you're saying that even though Beta was superior to VHS, it died because of Sony's boneheaded business strategy? Jeez.
I've never actually even seen a Beta player. Although a video store in my town that only just finally went out of business last year was so old that some of its videos said "Available in VHS and Beta!"
It was a sad, sad day when that store shut down. Especially since I couldn't afford to buy anything at their going-out-of-business sale. XD
The Star Wars prequels have fucked up Star Wars beyond repair to the point where I can't even stand to watch any of them anymore just because the prequels come to mind.
@snake2006 Indy 4 didn`t suck, most people liked it, also th original trilogy was set in stone and when thatt happens fans will always complain. What was wrong with the prequels, they showed: Who Anakin was before he turned to the Darkside and how evenualy became evil, they showed who Leia and Luke`s mom were and ho w Anakim and her got together, they showed how the republic was turned into the evil empire and so on.
@snake2006 Southprk make fun of everything asnd about Indy 4, it got 80 % on rotten tomatoes and made hell lot of money, and again people hate because of the fCT THAT THE ORIGIAL TRILOGY WAS SET IN STONE, also I HAVE SEEN mATTHEW REVIEWS AND i AM ACtualy busy making a response review.
@snake2006 Yes I am and I don`t understand why people call the love stry in Emopire great, also we did see Anakin kill the Jedi in II we only didn`t et to see the rest of the hunt that is something for the EU since it i s in betwen III and IV. We did see him being a great pilot and marriyng Padme, alaso his friendship with Obi Wan and his fall from grace.
There are important events we were told about and they should have been on screen like Vader killing the Jedi, betraying them. That should have been ON SCREEN, but no, make way for time waters such as Jar Jar stepping in poop, Jar Jar acting like a retard, R2 flying around doing nothing and other pointless time wasting throughout the entire prequels, so that the important stuff THAT SHOULD BE ON SCREEN is not there do to time limits.
@snake2006 Hey don`t need to start swearing, it isn`t a fact the prequels suck, a real fan would love them. They totally develop the father and mother of Leia and Luke, devlop Obi Wan, show the rise of the Empire, the Clone Wars and a hell of a lot more.
@TampaRed Well they spend a tremendus amount of time on caracterdevelopment and plot and story, espicialy in II. Why would it be so important to see Vader huning the Jedi dpiown, not every remenice in the OT is a promise for the prequels. The prequels show us Anakin`s caracter and how he became evil, lso hes anilities as a pilot, how he married Padme the mom of Luke and Leia and it also expanded the galaxy.
@snake2006 Again no need to swear asnd Anakin`s killing the Jedi was ofscreen, also 2/3 of the critics liked it and they were bocks office hits. Also if there is no caracterdevelopment and story than explain why not. Also the prequels didn`t need to know Anakin hunting down the Jedi, hey showed enough.
@snake2006 I saw them and thought the first one was great for rthe most part, although it only showed the movie had flaws and Ithink it a masterpiece even with all those flaws, and I thought his Episode II review was contrived used unfair arguments and I also thought he sometimes made it to vague what were jokes and what not, like in thwe Anakin and Padme love story part, innaprpriate assertiveness, what?????
No, it shows that Plinkett like Matthew know what they are talking about.
They see the prequels for what they really are, trash.
And Indy 4 sucked. I don't give a shit if it made money. Those shitty movies like Epic movie,Vampires suck and so on made allot of money, does that make it a good film. of course not.
@snake2006 You are right that the succes of a movie does not make it good, thanks for sayng that, so let`s drop mentioning other peoples opinion. No Redletter was wrong and I am actualy making a counter review, things like the prequels being sexless was very stupid, I am still a virgin so for me that matter s eveb les , but my dad couldn`t care les either, the prequels are great, they have complex and smart plot, deep caracters and great action and CGI.
@reviewreviewer1 Where is the (natural) humor in the prequels? Where are the classic lines like "that is no moon, it is a space station"? Also, do the prequel character express any fear? In Episode IV we see it in the opening scenes in the faces of the rebel forces as they prepare for the boarding of their ship by the imperial forces. In Episode V we see it in Luke as he enters the Degobah cave and faces Darth Vader/himself. CGI should compliment not make up for lack of emotional expression.
@windk100 There is indeed less humor in the PT since thry are more serious, but ther are son great lines like, I dn`t mind flying but what you are doung is suicide. Padme expresed fear in the factiry, Obi Wan during the asteroid and speederchase, the Gungans durin the big battle etc. Yes effects should come second but the PT has many slo w moving caracter and story scene mainly those involving the politics, trade federation, clone story, love story Anakin and Obi Wan and Qui Gon etc
@reviewreviewer1 You should really wait till your brain is fully developed before you blindly get into arguments with people who know what they're talking about.
@snake2006 Um the Clones weren`t ordered by the Jedi but by the senate a Jedi had just gone to Kamino for them but didn`t inform or get authorasation,. so it was ordered by their own govrment but when they sent a Jedi they violated protocols by not informing the council this is supicious but as said teir goverment ordered it and it was made by the kaminoers for the republic and the army seemed alright!!!!!!!! What is wrong with sophisticated subjects like politics, Anakin wasn`t evil before.....
Read my post, I said Jedi using the clone army even though they DIDN'T order them. Do I have to spell it out for you.
Next Anakin was always evil, he killed women and children in Episode 2, slaughtered them like animals. Which is MURDER and against the Jedi code is it not. He lusts for power as seen in Episode 2 where he says he should be all powerful but Obi Wan is holding him back.
He talks to Padme saying people should be forced to agree with his view. That is evil
@snake2006 Yesd thy didn`t order them but there goverment did and they trust there own senATE too order an army for their nation, he only supicious thing wa that the senate sent a Jedi to kamino, without opermision of the council which is ilegal, but it was ordered by their own senate so the use it, are you duggesring they shouldn`t use anything nor ordered by them, they serve and believe ibn the senate and the permidion thing is weird but small. Uh he murdered sandpeople which Lars said were...
Yes so according to you, since it was a bunch of radical muslims that killed thousands of people, that I should go and kill every muslim because of that right? Same applies here, not every Sandperson was guilty of the crimes, but yet Anakin murders them anyway. Some Hero.
With the Clone Army, they used the Clones even though they weren't ordered by them at all, and yet act surprised when the clones turned on them. Gee golly with all their force powers and they couldn't see that
@snake2006 No because the sandpeople are`t humand threby there al as evil because they are nio real unique individuals they are all instinctive. With the Clonwes uh why shouldd they mistrust them whwn they did not order them when there owm senate did, there dsenate is the nationak giverment which the serve and are loyal too so when tey ordered an army for the republic they believe it is for a god cause, it was not ordered by them but instead by people they really trust which is just a oke.
@reviewreviewer1 Ive read your explanations. They are wrong. The Prequels ruined star wars. The clone wars cartoon is better than the prequels. The more control George has over something the worse it gets.
@bloodnoseThePirate what am I wrong about? the fact that Obi Wan discribed to Yoda and Windu the clones had been ordered by the senate , also Lucas had equal control over Episode IV and not much less over V and VI, also or about the fact that Laws who was a very kind person who freed slaves ispite being from Tatoine and who knew the Sandpeople dicribed that they were only called sandpeople because of they physilogy but that entaly they would be animals meaning their lives are worth just that.
@reviewreviewer1 youre wrong in general. a lot of people on star wars (I dont call it ep 4 because that acknowledges that there are prequels) Held back lucas when he wanted to do something crazy including his ex wife. For Empire he told Irvin Kershner (The Man) to just make a better movie than star wars and he did (In my opinion) and Jedi is the weakest of the originals. many people believe it is the foreshadowing of the prequels awfulness.
@bloodnoseThePirate Uh no how could they hold him back, he was the owner of the film, he owned it, so the opnly way they could control him was if he was willing too allow them to d that and even back then he was obsessed with havimg control, also oficisl repirts indicate the oppisite, and all his wife did was co-edit the film, and the only indication she would control him is by clsims made by the crew decades later which they can easily lie about xconsidering how Kuertz did itt.
@reviewreviewer1 No one working on the prequels had the guts to stand up and say "this doesnt make sense." Which is exactly what george needs. The Phantom menace had great potential. (L8wrtr's fanedit brought that out shadow of the sith on fanedit.org) but Its still not great. attack of the clones is just unrecoverable. The acting, the story, awful. Revenge of the sith, All youve seen of anakin is whining then he turns evil in 5 seconds. we dont like anakin. we dont care what happens to him.
@bloodnoseThePirate All we see do is Anakin whining?? We see him argue to arrst the assasine of Padme, safe her life and risk his life capturing the assasine while saving his master, fight bravely in the Geonosis Battle, rescue Palpatine and Obi Wan twice, and crash land a ship in a violent space battle above coruscant, we see him fight Doku, express the love for his mom, his respect fpor Palpati, hi love for Padme and even share his nihtmares with Obi Wan like friends, he just has.......
@bloodnoseThePirate less love. She is just very closed but she shares very personal things with him, anjoys being with him, and feels very close!!!!!!
@bloodnoseThePirate ..s,e negative emotions which cpnsidering al his probems is natural bt overall he behaves like a hero, and we learn his dreams, his mbitios, political opimnions, rel;atioship, I cared amazingly a lot for him!!!!!!
@reviewreviewer1 Thats another thing, the anakin/padme relationship. You cant honestly believe that a loving relationship could develop like that. as red letter media said, oh she's in revealing clothes and theyre sitting next to a romantic fire, they must be in love. She shows no love at all for him at all then all the sudden "I truly deeply love you" If the movie has to tell you the current status between two people it obviously hasnt developed said relationship properly!
@bloodnoseThePirate The criticisms we would be told they love eachother because it would be cliche, masny people and relatuionships are similar ans a lovestory is even ,ore relatable when it is cassic, plus it takes great concept ad reuses them, also by saying stuff it makes it less ineterpatable and people ogften just talk, it makeas it cleaerer what they feekl and think, but they realy developped it well the dhowed tem bond over many things and Padme is not very open thats why she shows little
@reviewreviewer1 well you might as well be ten. Your typing is terrible. slow down when you type. You are typing the wrong letters and missing letters out because you are in such a rush to continue a pointless argument. i am not being a grammar Nazi but i can barely read you comments.
P.S the originals mature with age the prequels rot.
@bloodnoseThePirate i do agree the romance was kinda forced and not handled well, but 2 b fair this is science fantasy, and the way ppl fall in love in these kinds of films is rarely realistic, fact is they HAD 2 fall in love in order 4 Luke and Leia 2 b born and 4 Anakin 2 turn 2 the darkside. wheather its belivable or not, its fact. uv also gotta consider the chemistry of characters. the Han/Leia romance was featured in the films NOT directed by Lucas, mayb he doesn't know how 2 do romance
@227060 I feel that empire set a standard that was not met in attack of the clones in that aspect, and you mention that maybe Lucas doesn't know how to do romance. Then he shouldn't have done the prequels! such a large part of it was romance. The entire structure of the prequels depended on it. Red letter media put it best. It's like he wrote a rough draft and they decided to go with it.
@bloodnoseThePirate fact is i don't think he was in a position to do sequels and the prequels were the only viable option. having said that if u r gonna do the prequels and tell the story of the bitrth of Darth Vader (the main attraction of the prequels), who is in fact the dad of Luke and Leia u have 2 give them a mother and they have 2 get together that is unavoidable. wat is also unavoidable is u need actors who allegedly resemble Luke and Leia so chemistry is sadly sidelined
I have beaten all your arguments,Confused Matthew has beaten your arguments,Plinkett has beaten your arguments, the prequels are crap.
Sophisticated politics my ass, the scripts show they were written by a man who only gives 2 craps about special effects and has the story to sell these effects, when it should be the effects selling the story.
@snake2006 ...mentally animals. Also saying people should be fotrcwd too live by your ideas and that the politicians shouold be fortced too follow 1 road, isn`t pers evil. that is also what happens in a demicracy oly their 51 % of the people force 49 % to live a certaun why instead of 1 person the rest,so the only difference is it isn`t popular rule, considering thrre aren`t many veruy wise people 1 special ruler might be better, all he suggested was that 1 wise person would rule nnot the people
George Lucas currently denies that he ever intended to make 9 films, and that the story was simply about Anakin. He needs to be reminded that he didn't always believe that way.
I read that even Mark Hamill said when they were filming the first movie GL casually asked him if he would take up the role of Luke Skywalker again in 2011 as a mentor figure.
@RayyM2 yeah, denying he ever intended to do 9 films is stupid when we can look back in time and see the truth, so i wish he'd just come clean and tell us he doesnt see a point in doing them all, that he combined 1,2,3 with 7,8,9, or whatever he did - or that he WILL produce the last three, just not now.
i hope for the last option - want another three flicks... miss having a big movie event to go to every few years.
What the hell? She gives waaay too much away. If I just got done making Empire and this idiot came on tv talking about all the stuff that happens at the end, I would have to pee in her pool.
There was a time that Lucas said there would be nine. Then he said there would be six. Then he said there would be no more than 3. Then he went back and made the prequels. I dont think there will be anymore. Although, Lucas is planning to rerelease all six of the films in 3-D in 2009
Who would've thought- a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away is actually in 1980 Cincinnati- LOL. Nice review for Episode V- one of the best movies of all time.

@snake2006 I saw them and thought the first one was great for rthe most part, although it only showed the movie had flaws and Ithink it a masterpiece even with all those flaws, and I thought his Episode II review was contrived used unfair arguments and I also thought he sometimes made it to vague what were jokes and what not, like in thwe Anakin and Padme love story part, innaprpriate assertiveness, what?????

@reviewreviewer1
No, it shows that Plinkett like Matthew know what they are talking about.
They see the prequels for what they really are, trash.
And Indy 4 sucked. I don't give a shit if it made money. Those shitty movies like Epic movie,Vampires suck and so on made allot of money, does that make it a good film. of course not.
snake2006 1 year ago
@snake2006 You are right that the succes of a movie does not make it good, thanks for sayng that, so let`s drop mentioning other peoples opinion. No Redletter was wrong and I am actualy making a counter review, things like the prequels being sexless was very stupid, I am still a virgin so for me that matter s eveb les , but my dad couldn`t care les either, the prequels are great, they have complex and smart plot, deep caracters and great action and CGI.
reviewreviewer1 1 year ago
@reviewreviewer1 Where is the (natural) humor in the prequels? Where are the classic lines like "that is no moon, it is a space station"? Also, do the prequel character express any fear? In Episode IV we see it in the opening scenes in the faces of the rebel forces as they prepare for the boarding of their ship by the imperial forces. In Episode V we see it in Luke as he enters the Degobah cave and faces Darth Vader/himself. CGI should compliment not make up for lack of emotional expression.
windk100 1 year ago
@windk100 There is indeed less humor in the PT since thry are more serious, but ther are son great lines like, I dn`t mind flying but what you are doung is suicide. Padme expresed fear in the factiry, Obi Wan during the asteroid and speederchase, the Gungans durin the big battle etc. Yes effects should come second but the PT has many slo w moving caracter and story scene mainly those involving the politics, trade federation, clone story, love story Anakin and Obi Wan and Qui Gon etc

Bwhaaaaa,
Complex plot my ass.
Lets see Anakin goes from already being evil to being more evil. His whole turn to evil was 5 minutes total.
Clone army is used even though the Jedi didn't order them and surprise they turned on them.
Taxing trade routes,Jar Jar Binks.
Oh god, watch plinkette's reviews of the prequels and pay attention. It does a marvelous job at showing what shit they are.
So does Confused Matthew.
I could do my own but why bother when they did it for me.
snake2006 11 months ago
@snake2006 Um the Clones weren`t ordered by the Jedi but by the senate a Jedi had just gone to Kamino for them but didn`t inform or get authorasation,. so it was ordered by their own govrment but when they sent a Jedi they violated protocols by not informing the council this is supicious but as said teir goverment ordered it and it was made by the kaminoers for the republic and the army seemed alright!!!!!!!! What is wrong with sophisticated subjects like politics, Anakin wasn`t evil before.....
reviewreviewer1 10 months ago
@reviewreviewer1
Read my post, I said Jedi using the clone army even though they DIDN'T order them. Do I have to spell it out for you.
Next Anakin was always evil, he killed women and children in Episode 2, slaughtered them like animals. Which is MURDER and against the Jedi code is it not. He lusts for power as seen in Episode 2 where he says he should be all powerful but Obi Wan is holding him back.
He talks to Padme saying people should be forced to agree with his view. That is evil
snake2006 10 months ago
@snake2006 Yesd thy didn`t order them but there goverment did and they trust there own senATE too order an army for their nation, he only supicious thing wa that the senate sent a Jedi to kamino, without opermision of the council which is ilegal, but it was ordered by their own senate so the use it, are you duggesring they shouldn`t use anything nor ordered by them, they serve and believe ibn the senate and the permidion thing is weird but small. Uh he murdered sandpeople which Lars said were...
reviewreviewer1 10 months ago
@reviewreviewer1
Yes so according to you, since it was a bunch of radical muslims that killed thousands of people, that I should go and kill every muslim because of that right? Same applies here, not every Sandperson was guilty of the crimes, but yet Anakin murders them anyway. Some Hero.
With the Clone Army, they used the Clones even though they weren't ordered by them at all, and yet act surprised when the clones turned on them. Gee golly with all their force powers and they couldn't see that
snake2006 10 months ago
@snake2006 No because the sandpeople are`t humand threby there al as evil because they are nio real unique individuals they are all instinctive. With the Clonwes uh why shouldd they mistrust them whwn they did not order them when there owm senate did, there dsenate is the nationak giverment which the serve and are loyal too so when tey ordered an army for the republic they believe it is for a god cause, it was not ordered by them but instead by people they really trust which is just a oke.

@reviewreviewer1 Ive read your explanations. They are wrong. The Prequels ruined star wars. The clone wars cartoon is better than the prequels. The more control George has over something the worse it gets.
bloodnoseThePirate 10 months ago
@bloodnoseThePirate what am I wrong about? the fact that Obi Wan discribed to Yoda and Windu the clones had been ordered by the senate , also Lucas had equal control over Episode IV and not much less over V and VI, also or about the fact that Laws who was a very kind person who freed slaves ispite being from Tatoine and who knew the Sandpeople dicribed that they were only called sandpeople because of they physilogy but that entaly they would be animals meaning their lives are worth just that.
reviewreviewer1 10 months ago
@reviewreviewer1 youre wrong in general. a lot of people on star wars (I dont call it ep 4 because that acknowledges that there are prequels) Held back lucas when he wanted to do something crazy including his ex wife. For Empire he told Irvin Kershner (The Man) to just make a better movie than star wars and he did (In my opinion) and Jedi is the weakest of the originals. many people believe it is the foreshadowing of the prequels awfulness.
bloodnoseThePirate 10 months ago
@bloodnoseThePirate Uh no how could they hold him back, he was the owner of the film, he owned it, so the opnly way they could control him was if he was willing too allow them to d that and even back then he was obsessed with havimg control, also oficisl repirts indicate the oppisite, and all his wife did was co-edit the film, and the only indication she would control him is by clsims made by the crew decades later which they can easily lie about xconsidering how Kuertz did itt.
reviewreviewer1 10 months ago
@reviewreviewer1 No one working on the prequels had the guts to stand up and say "this doesnt make sense." Which is exactly what george needs. The Phantom menace had great potential. (L8wrtr's fanedit brought that out shadow of the sith on fanedit.org) but Its still not great. attack of the clones is just unrecoverable. The acting, the story, awful. Revenge of the sith, All youve seen of anakin is whining then he turns evil in 5 seconds. we dont like anakin. we dont care what happens to him.
bloodnoseThePirate 10 months ago
@bloodnoseThePirate All we see do is Anakin whining?? We see him argue to arrst the assasine of Padme, safe her life and risk his life capturing the assasine while saving his master, fight bravely in the Geonosis Battle, rescue Palpatine and Obi Wan twice, and crash land a ship in a violent space battle above coruscant, we see him fight Doku, express the love for his mom, his respect fpor Palpati, hi love for Padme and even share his nihtmares with Obi Wan like friends, he just has.......

reviewreviewer1 10 months ago
@reviewreviewer1 Thats another thing, the anakin/padme relationship. You cant honestly believe that a loving relationship could develop like that. as red letter media said, oh she's in revealing clothes and theyre sitting next to a romantic fire, they must be in love. She shows no love at all for him at all then all the sudden "I truly deeply love you" If the movie has to tell you the current status between two people it obviously hasnt developed said relationship properly!
bloodnoseThePirate 10 months ago
@bloodnoseThePirate The criticisms we would be told they love eachother because it would be cliche, masny people and relatuionships are similar ans a lovestory is even ,ore relatable when it is cassic, plus it takes great concept ad reuses them, also by saying stuff it makes it less ineterpatable and people ogften just talk, it makeas it cleaerer what they feekl and think, but they realy developped it well the dhowed tem bond over many things and Padme is not very open thats why she shows little

toddy47b 10 months ago
@bloodnoseThePirate i do agree the romance was kinda forced and not handled well, but 2 b fair this is science fantasy, and the way ppl fall in love in these kinds of films is rarely realistic, fact is they HAD 2 fall in love in order 4 Luke and Leia 2 b born and 4 Anakin 2 turn 2 the darkside. wheather its belivable or not, its fact. uv also gotta consider the chemistry of characters. the Han/Leia romance was featured in the films NOT directed by Lucas, mayb he doesn't know how 2 do romance
227060 9 months ago
@227060 I feel that empire set a standard that was not met in attack of the clones in that aspect, and you mention that maybe Lucas doesn't know how to do romance. Then he shouldn't have done the prequels! such a large part of it was romance. The entire structure of the prequels depended on it. Red letter media put it best. It's like he wrote a rough draft and they decided to go with it.
bloodnoseThePirate 9 months ago
@bloodnoseThePirate fact is i don't think he was in a position to do sequels and the prequels were the only viable option. having said that if u r gonna do the prequels and tell the story of the bitrth of Darth Vader (the main attraction of the prequels), who is in fact the dad of Luke and Leia u have 2 give them a mother and they have 2 get together that is unavoidable. wat is also unavoidable is u need actors who allegedly resemble Luke and Leia so chemistry is sadly sidelined

I have beaten all your arguments,Confused Matthew has beaten your arguments,Plinkett has beaten your arguments, the prequels are crap.
Sophisticated politics my ass, the scripts show they were written by a man who only gives 2 craps about special effects and has the story to sell these effects, when it should be the effects selling the story.

Also saying people should be fotrcwd too live by your ideas and that the politicians shouold be fortced too follow 1 road, isn`t pers evil. that is also what happens in a demicracy oly their 51 % of the people force 49 % to live a certaun why instead of 1 person the rest,so the only difference is it isn`t popular rule, considering thrre aren`t many veruy wise people 1 special ruler might be better, all he suggested was that 1 wise person would rule nnot the people

@RayyM2 yeah, denying he ever intended to do 9 films is stupid when we can look back in time and see the truth, so i wish he'd just come clean and tell us he doesnt see a point in doing them all, that he combined 1,2,3 with 7,8,9, or whatever he did - or that he WILL produce the last three, just not now.
i hope for the last option - want another three flicks... miss having a big movie event to go to every few years.

@RayyM2
I know. Originally he said in a interview for Time magazine that there was going to be 12 this was after Episode 4 release.
Then it went to 9 when Empire came out.
The after Jedi he said he didn't want to do anymore.
Then after his divorce he needed money so the Special Editions came out, then the prequels were made. Mostly to get some money again.

There was a time that Lucas said there would be nine. Then he said there would be six. Then he said there would be no more than 3. Then he went back and made the prequels. I dont think there will be anymore. Although, Lucas is planning to rerelease all six of the films in 3-D in 2009
