LucasArts' original plan was to have the Loom series be a trilogy.

The second game, called Forge, starred Rusty Nailbender, the young boy of the Blacksmiths' Guild whom Bobbin met in the first game.

Rusty's goal was to rescue his father, the guild's foreman, from the floating prison which was controlled by the Dead Ones. This cloud-shaped prison, seen at the end of Loom, once had been the Forge, fortress of the Blacksmiths.

Rusty would be helped along the way by Bobbin's spirit, which would show up to give advice, in a manner similar to Obi-Wan Kenobi in Star Wars.

The third game was called The Fold. It was supposed to star Fleece Firmflanks, the Shepherd woman Bobbin met in Loom. I'm not sure about the plot here, unfortunately.

LucasArts unfortunately cancelled both games because Loom's sales were lower than expected and the sequels were deemed sort of a waste of money.
Proof that the Sales Department has been doing its insidious work in LEC for over ten years.
