Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford and Carrie Fisher might not know it yet but "Revenge
of the Jedi," which undergoes release in May, is going to mark the end of
their "Star Wars" careers. This is the word from Gary Kurtz, who produced
the 1977 blockbuster and its 1980 "The Empire Strikes Back" sequel, and who
reports that - save for R2D2 and C3PO - "Star Wars IV" will have an entire
change of characters. Kurtz (...) reveals that George Lucas will be taking
moviegoers backwards in time for "Star Wars IV" and "V" and more - to a time
before Luke Skywalker and his buddies were born. Kurtz adds there will be
a lengthy delay between "Wars III" and "IV," that Lucas intends to get away
from the filmmaking grind for a year or two, and that by the time he gears
up for his next "Stars Wars" tale, it will be 1990, at least, before the production
gets to screen.
