3D STAR WARS sequel rumors are stupid! Stupid and ignorant!

I called it. (Well, so did pretty much everybody else, really.) There's no truth to the rumors that George Lucas is working on a trio of new 3D Star Wars sequels. Lucasfilm's Head of Fan Relations Steve Sansweet was asked about the rumors by Movie Geek Feed, and his response was downright snippy.

"It wasn't a news item," Sansweet said. "It was something that somebody made up. It's totally, totally ignorant and stupid, and even the people who picked it up and spread it along, said there's no way this can be true. And of course there's no way it can be true. You shouldn't believe what you read on the internet. Take everything with a big grain of salt."

Jeez. Why do I get the feeling that if one more person asks Sansweet about this stuff, he's gonna after them with a plastic lightsaber?
