MS> -=> Quoting James Dixon to Steve Bolen <=-
MS> JD> Episodes 7, 8, and 9 will chronologically come After the novel 
eries.
MS> JD> I think this is a Great idea (I hope I'm right!)... Logically you 
ee,
MS> JD> the last three films in the third trilogy will Merge and Unify the
MS> JD> characters and events presented in the first two trilogies... So some
MS> JD> New characters introduced in the first couple movies could 
onceivably
MS> JD> meet up with our classic characters in these final films...
MS>     You are right about a lot of things, James. Yes, there is a reason
MS>that
MS> the novels can only go to a certain point beyond ROTJ. I think the
MS>official
MS> point in time is 25-30 years, although I'm not sure on that. Anything 
ast
MS> that is forbidden territory. I also agree that Lucas will wait until well
MS> after I-III are released before he makes a final decision regarding
MS>VII-IX.
Yah, I think the Young Jedi Knights novels are set at the far end of
this timetable (I dunno since I don't read them)...
MS> I think his current "6 films" stance is simply his "official line" right
MS> now, and it was better for him to change his public statements from 9 to 

MS> because no one is sure if there will be any more. He doesn't want to
MS>commit
MS> to them just yet.
If GL dies before 7-9 are made, I'm sure someone else will come along
and make the attempt anyhow!
MS> Also, a while ago, there were rumors of new characters from I-III
MS>appearing
MS> again in VII-IX. While probably just speculation, it could be done.
Yah, Anything could be done!
