[net.movies.sw] Rumors wanted

1. In the August SFC, Kay Anderson repeats a rumor that Star Wars IV is
   in pre-production.  Would anyone in netland like to contribute to
   this rumor?

2. Ditto for details of the Princess Leia/Paul Simon situation.  Was
   this in People magazine?

It would be difficult for Star Wars IV to be in pre-production, since
SW-IV was the first one out!  The rumors I hears are that they are doing
principle-shooting involving the stars from the existing films, to insure
continutity between the middle trilogy and the other films.

Smartass!  I meant "the IV-th movie in the series of movies which began
with 'Star Wars'".  In fact, I was hoping this rumor meant that Lucas
had abandoned the tri-trilogy dream.  Who wants to wait another 25 years
to see the whole thing (or longer, depending on the VAX's load factor) ?
In 25 years, who would care?  (rhetorical)

P.S. Don't act so superior if you can't type "principal" or "continuity".
