Has anybody heard anything about this??? Lucas is being very
quiet again. Seems like every time that guy clams up, there's another
project in the works. I've heard that he's planning all 3 of the first
episodes (the prequel) as one movie... Any ideas?

I don't know if this has been finalized, but since it looks to me like the LAST thing Walt would have considered, the existing management structure will probably go for it full speed ahead. Not putting Lucas down, but R2D2 is NOT Mickey Mouse, no matter how short it is.... -- :From the closet of anxieties of: Chuq Von Rospach {cbosgd,fortune,hplabs,ihnp4,seismo}!nsc!chuqui nsc!chuqui@decwrl.ARPA Remember me, for that which I must do shall ring out upon the heavens and my name shall be renounced by the tongues of all mankind! - J.

Here's the latest inside info on Lucasfilm's current activities:
o Lucasfilm is doing a ride or rides for Disneyland/world. This is the
first time Disney has let anybody else do anything at their theme
parks.
o There is some sort of collaboration afoot between Lucas and Henson
Associates (the Muppet folks). More details exist, but I don't have
them at the moment. (There may be info on this in the Star Wars Fan
Club bulletin).
o The current project at Lucasfilm is a new Ewok special. "This time,"
promises Maureen Garrett of the Star Wars Fan Club, "we'll have a
real plot!"
o ILM is keeping busy with the special effects of virtually every
Hollywood project with any money to spend. I've heard rumors of a film
of "Bug Jack Barron," but the chances of that seem slim. Right now ILM
is building Ewoks.
o Lucasfilm's Computer Division is becoming a separate company.
Apparently, they were spending too much money (the short "Andre & Wally
B." cost about $22 million!). They are about to release/have recently
released two games for Atari computers (the old ones, not the ST):
"Ballblazer" and "Rescue on Fractalus," both of which are NEAT. Other
games are in the works.
That's all I have. These rumors are straight from the horse's mouth, but
they're still just rumors.
