Yes, so it's a trilogy, because it is three seperate movies. The same way Star Wars is a set of two trilogies. Even though it is the same story all the way through.

Prof. Tolkien knew the meaning of the word trilogy, which was why he got mad when LOTR was referred to as such. The definition we were taught at school, and which I just got confirmed by looking it up in my Webster's, is

"trilogy, tril'o*ji, n. A series of three works each in a certain sense complete in itself, yet together forming one connected whole."

The Star Wars stories, however, might be considered trilogies.

I really don't care what the author said, the author didnt make the movies, the author wrote the books, if the story is in one book, like the book I have, then it isn't a trilogy, but the movie is a trilogy, in each movie there is a different story, even though it follows the path of one story. Exactly the same as star wars, in each movie there is a main story, but each creating one large story.

If the star wars movies were made into one large book, all they would need to say to link up the stories would be something like '15 years later...'
