Lucas to make sequels to Star Wars after all?

To quote the article on Slashdot (http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=04/0 ... =101&tid=1):

SageMadHatter writes "After denying the possibility of three new Star Wars movies taking place after the original triology story line, it appears that the possibility has actually opened up."

Then the link to this page:

Which is suffering from the Slashdot effect- I'm still waiting for it to load. LOL

UPDATE:
It finally loaded.

Star Wars creator George Lucas could be poised to make three sequels to the original space opera trilogy, according to insiders at Lucasfilm.

According to fan site Theforce.net, employees at Lucas's company Industrial Light and Magic have all been made to sign non-disclosure agreements to promise not to talk about the possibility of episode's seven, eight and nine being made.

Now industry insiders are predicting the director will make the follow-ups, which pick up where 1983's Return of the Jedi left off, despite insisting he would never be lured into filming them.

A posting on the site says, "You didn't hear this from me, but you might be curious as to why everyone at ILM just signed NDA's saying that they will not discuss Star Wars episodes 7, 8, or 9.

"Since they're not being made, why the NDA's? Of course, since when has Lucas been consistent?"

How many times are we going to rehash this horseshit? It ain't happening, people.

So? This is quoting from another, newer article, so it's not a repost. It just appeared on Slashdot today

The second is the same, and the first should have been posted in that other thread.

Ah, I see. I thought they were different, being on different web sites, but one is a clone of the other.
