   At some point the internet will have had enough of Star Wars news, but   
   not tonight. This story just refuses to die.   
   And so now Timothy Zahn, writer of the much-loved ‘Extended   
   Universe’ trilogy of novels set after the original films, has   
   had his say over at EW  .   
   Zahn makes it clear that he is not at all privy to up to date details,   
   but he said that George Lucas once shared his vision about future   
   movies.   
   The original idea as I understood it â€" and Lucas changes his mind   
   off and on, so it may not be what he’s thinking right now   
   â€" but it was going to be three generations. You’d have the   
   original trilogy, then go back to Luke’s father and find out   
   what happened to him [in the prequels], and if there was another 7th,   
   8th, or 9th film, it would be Luke’s children. The Thrawn   
   Trilogy really would have fit into the gap   
   This is obviously pretty old news as we have had a trilogy of films, one   
   of them twice over, between now and when Zahn and Lucas had that chat,   
   but it’s worth something.   
   Zahn’s creations have made their way into the prequel trilogy   
   before  - for example, he called the seat of the Empire Coruscant   
   â€" and his novels are still considered canon.   
   In those books, an Imperial general Thrawn cobbles together the remains   
   of the Empire after the death of Darth Sidious to try and regain power.   
   While this almost certainly won’t have any bearing on the story   
   of the new trilogy, it is an example of how the Empire is conceived as a   
   beast that just won’t go down.   
   Nothing Zahn quotes seems too out of step with earlier reports    
   , but none of them â€" just yet â€" seem to be what   
   we’d call conclusive evidence.
