Hope you weren't getting too excited over those rumors about George Lucas preparing to make three all-new, all-3D Star Wars movies. According to Lucasfilm's Head of Fan Relations Steve Sansweet, they're not going to happen anytime soon. Or ever.

When asked by Movie Geek Feed about the rumors, Sansweet offered this denial:

It wasn't a news item. 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.

There's something to be said for his straight-shooting, isn't there?
