If George Lucas is as strange as I think he is, there's a good possibilty there'll be an "Episode 3.5: Will you please pass the Jedi Chips" movie about Yoda and Obi-Wan Kenobi's hiding session.

The future of movies: video games.

Funny you should bring that up. Years ago when Lucasarts made more than just Star Wars games they had a series of adventure/puzzle games (Sam & Max, Full Throttle, Day of the Tentacle, Monkey Island ect.). One of these games was called The Dig and was originally written as a screenplay and presented to George Lucas. Lucas decided it would cost way too much to make into a movie and instead sent the screenplay to Lucasarts to be made into an adventure/puzzle game.
About a decade later 2 different movies came out, Armageddon (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120591/) had a plot remarkably similar to the beginning of The Dig (Asteroid is going to hit earth and you must travel to it and place nuclear charges at specific locations). The other movie, Mission to Mars (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0183523/) was the actual storyline of the rest of the game.
I believe that whole mess shows a trend toward making computer games for a new generation of consumers who are fed up with how expensive and crappy movies have become.
