Star Wars Episode 10

Star Wars 10 Episode 10 - Back in the 1970's, you stated plans for 12 Star Wars episodes contained within 4 Star Wars movie trilogies. What can you tell Star Wars fans about Star Wars 10 or Star Wars Episode 10?

George Lucas - When I originally wrote the Star Wars rough drafts, the story eventually expanded beyond a single film or even a single trilogy. It kept getting bigger and bigger until I had written about the story of Anakin Skywalker and his son Luke Skywalker. After Star Wars Episode 9, I wrote a basic plot outline for Star Wars Episodes 10, 11 and 12.

Star Wars 10 Episode 10 - What is Star Wars Episode 10 about?

George Lucas - It's the only Star Wars trilogy not to be centered around the Skywalker family. There are no Star Wars characters, not even R2D2 and C3PO, in Star Wars 10 from the first 9 films.

Star Wars 10 Episode 10 - When does Star Wars 10 take place?

George Lucas - Many thousands and thousands of years after Star Wars Episode 9.

Star Wars 10 Episode 10 - Can you give Star Wars fans plot script story spoilers for Star Wars Episode 10?

George Lucas - Star Wars 10 is very esoteric and sorta strange compared to the other Star Wars films. The Star Wars galaxy is completely different from what we have seen before.

Star Wars 10 Episode 10 - How has the galaxy changed?

George Lucas - By the time of Star Wars Episode 10, the galaxy is extremely technologically advanced. The quadrillions of sentient creatures of the galaxy have formed a hive or collective mind. The galaxy is one entity, but there are problems with this Utopian existence.

Star Wars 10 Episode 10 - Why type of conflict?

George Lucas - There is a small group of people, who are fighting for independence to escape the collective. They don't want Utopia. Instead, they want true freedom.

Star Wars 10 Episode 10 - This sounds similar to your first Hollywood motion picture called THX 1138.

George Lucas - Star Wars 10 has similar themes. My films are formulaic in the sense I keep revisiting and reexploring the same ideas over and over again.

Star Wars 10 Episode 10 - Can you give Star Wars fans plot summary outline specifics like Star Wars characters names, environments and other things we'll see in Star Wars Episode 10?

George Lucas - No. I'm not going to reveal the secrets of Star Wars 10 at this moment in time. It's something I'm working on and a work in progress, which may or may not be completed in my lifetime. I don't really know what's going to happen with Star Wars Episode 10. As each year progresses, I become a little older so time is really running out for me unfortunately. Everything I plan for Star Wars might not happen within the next ten to fifteen years. My children could be the ones to finish my other Star Wars concepts including Star Wars 10 or whoever controls Lucasfilm in the future.

Star Wars 10 Episode 10 - Thanks for these insightful comments about Star Wars Episode 10. We all hope you live on and on for thirty years and even much, much more.

George Lucas - Thank you and thanks to all the fans. Star Wars has been a surprise from the beginning and its enduring popularity continues to shock me even to this very day.
