http://www.starwars.com/theclonewars/ne ... 80317.htmlDo you think you'd have other people continue the Star Wars saga past Episode VI or turn some of the other material into films?
But there's no story past Episode VI, there's just no story. It's a certain story about Anakin Skywalker and once Anakin Skywalker dies, that's kind of the end of the story. There is no story about Luke Skywalker, I mean apart from the books. But there's three worlds: There's my world that I made up, there's the licensing world that's the books, the comics, all that kind of stuff, the games, which is their world, and then there's the fans' world, which is also very rich in imagination, but they don't always mesh. All I'm in charge of is my world. I can't be in charge of those other people's world, because I can't keep up with it.

Very interesting the way that Lucas describes it as it could be taken that there are four parallel universes now, not just the two previous ones we've heard mentioned: Movies only and Movies/EU continuities. Now we have what... Game World and Fan World here? I hope that certain folks don't try to mean that that quote legitimizes their little speculations...

I'm afraid people will read too much into this one as well.
He both defines three worlds, which the third is pretty much all fanon and irrelevant.
He also recognizes that Luke Skywalker's story continues in the books, which is the EU.
All he's stating is that there's no Anakin Skywalker story after episode VI, which is rather obvious, since he's dead.

Lucas does leave himself open to changing his mind. Anakin dies in ep 6, but we see that his reconversion back to a jedi has him living on in spirit form. If he changed his mind, he could say that his story continues, while he's joined the Force and how he lives his spirit life, as the people of the galaxy continue with their now free lives.

More on the Lucas-quote bounty from ShoWest 2008, including video of Lucas responding to a question containing the word "canon"!

He is aware of a continuing Luke story in the novels, yes, but he doesn't endorse it as correct/factual. It is part of one of three different "versions" of Star Wars that "don't always mesh", to use his terms.Mr. Oragahn wrote:I'm afraid people will read too much into this one as well.
