"I heard that Lucas will shoot all three of the prequels at the same time (like the last two Back To The Future movies were filmed together). The first prequel is shooting for '97 or '98 release. As to when the 'postquels' will be written, shot and released is anybody's guess. I just hope that George sticks with us long enuf for us to complete this amazing storyline."
