This is the final paragraph of an interview with Geprge Lucas that appeared in today's Mail on Sunday RotS special (by Rob Waugh): 'They won't be any more films,' he tells me at Skywalker Ranch, the £100 million mansion he built with the profits from the series. 'I am closing the door on that. We are going to do television series, one animated, and some live-action. But they'll be spin-offs, letting smaller characters tell their stories. The main story is finnished. It was about Darth Vader. And he's dead. If I really wanted to cash in, I could, but to me that's not the point. To me this has all been just one story-a story that happened to last for twelve hours over a period of almost 30 years.' Well, aged 33, that '12 hours' has more or less dominated my life, but I guess good stories must come to end. I must confess to my eyes swelling up over the breakfast table when I read this. The last time a work of fiction did this was finishing Bernard Cornwell's excellent King Arthur trilogy,(The Winter King, Enemy of God, and Excalibur), when closing the book was like loosing friends i'd come to know.
