Lucas looks to new projects
18/06/2005 - 12:24:02Film mogul George Lucas says he is eager to leave Star Wars behind and start work on two new projects - World War II action adventure Redtails and the next instalment of the Indiana Jones story.
Since Star Wars first hit cinemas in 1977 the franchise has been massively successful, but Lucas has had enough and wants to explore other ideas he has developed over the years.
He says of Redtails: "It's a story of African-American fighter pilots. They were the best - the only escorts in World War Two that never lost a bomber. It's pretty inspiring."
Speaking of Indiana Jones IV - which has been on the drawing board for some time - Lucas reveals: "I've been working on it for about 15 years and now I'm going to focus on it along with the next Indiana Jones."
