From: Vicki Kanrek <vkanrek@BBNCCF.ARPA> My sister got the following letter from Christine Barbour at Lucasfilm Ltd. in response to her questions about the CINEFANTASTIQUE article: "Dear Marilyn: Thank you for writing. The news you read in Cinefastastique Magazine is completely incorrect. The next films have not been written yet, let alone beginning production. Mr. Lucas is taking a well deserved vacation from theatrical motion pictures to work more with the company of Lucasfilm and to executive produce a 2 hour television movie currently in production. It is presently called THE EWOK ADVENTURE and will air on ABC television during the Thanksgiving/ Christmas holiday season this year. Thank you for sending Mr. Lucas your opinions and comments. We'll just have to wait and see what the next films will be like, when he does have the time to start working on them. Again, thank you for writing, and remember the Force is with you... Always!" Well, aside from basically not saying anything, there is one small item of some importance therein: there WILL be more films. I really thought Lucas was going to give up on this. Any comments?
