	Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford and Carrie Fisher might not know it yet
but "Revenge of the Jedi," which undergoes release in May, is going to mark
the end of their "Star Wars" careers.
	This is the word from Gary Kurtz, who produced the 1977 blockbuster and
its 91980 "The Empire Strikes Back" sequel, and who reports that - save for
R2D2 and C3PO - "Star Wars IV" will have an entire change of characters.
	Kurtz (...) reveals that George Lucas will be taking moviegoers
backwards in time for "Star Wars IV" and "V" and more - to a time before Luke
Skywalker and his buddies were born.
	Kurtz adds there will be a lengthy delay between "Wars III" and "IV,"
that Lucas intends to get away from the filmmaking grind for a year or two,
and that by the time he gears up for his next "Stars Wars" tale, it will
be 1990, at least, before the production gets to screen.
