OceanH Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 The Walt Disney Company Acquires LucasFilm; Star Wars: Episode VII Set for 2015 - IGN I have a bad feeling about this... I'd say 50/50. I don't like what Lucas is currently doing (or did) with the Star Wars franchise. We'll see if Disney is doing smart like it's doing with the Marvel franchise.

AshtimusPrime Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Wait a minute, is George Lucas $2 billion richer today? Wow. More Star Wars films? As if the franchise isn't over-milked enough as it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vegetollo7 Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 I'll believe it when I see it. Not sure if that will be a good or bad thing though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tranquilbez Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 I'm interested to see how this plays out. Here's hoping it doesn't suck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SylarTheNinja Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 http://nooooooooooooooo.com/ This is really bad news, although at least the film can't be as bad as the Clone Wars film! However now that Disney own Marvel and Star Wars, does this mean that we can have some crossover comics? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sleepydumbdude Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 2015 seems very soon to have new trilogy produced, written and filmed to begin releasing. I really don't care what they do to star wars anymore. I pretty much considered it screwed up with the release of the prequels. I do like the Clone Wars series on CN. I wouldn't mind some CGI adventure during the original trilogy like Shadows of the Empire or Dark Empire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stgermain Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 http://i0.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/000/001/384/Atrapitis.gif Sorry, I couldn't resist. It would be interesting to see new Star Wars films, but I hope that they don't suck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamie9000000 Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Star Wars Episode 7? This could either end up being really good, or really bad. But just look at what Disney did with Marvel after they bought it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryukori Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 This is probably going to turn out bad. Disney will probably pull a '4Kids' on the Star Wars franchise and ruin it completely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But just look at what Disney did with Marvel after they bought it. Left it alone to make some fucking awesome movies still instead of ruining it like they very easily could have, thankfully. Now, assuming that they take the same "leave it alone" approach with LucasFilms... Star Wars 7 suckage confirmed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vyrastas Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 As long as J.J. Abrams doesn't touch it, I'll be curious to see what they do here. I got over my fanboy-ness for Star Wars years ago, so I'm up for new movies, with new stories, don't care if it fits canon perfectly or not - but hopefully there's no simple rehashing of the existing EU material. Some of that is hit or miss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunlit Garden Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 From the newspaper: The trilogy will continue the story of Luke Skywalker, Han Solo and Princess Leia beyond "Return of the Jedi," the third film released and the sixth in the saga There are a lot of books already written about that time period. (Some of them, like the Heir to the Empire/Thrawn Trilogy, are actually quite good.) I wonder if they will adapt the books or just come up with a new canon? They've done retcons in the past. I hope they don't put Mara Jade in there, though. *cough Mary Sue cough* I really can't stand her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's always been a rumour that the trilogy was always going ahead and it would have Hamil, Ford, Fisher in it as their older self. They were simply just waiting.

dividedbyn1ght Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 (edited) I'm excited personally. Unless it effects the latest Star Wars video game development. Edited October 31, 2012 by dividedbyn1ght Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bounty V Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 For those worried about a possibly ruined story, read this over: Disney buying 'Star Wars' maker Lucasfilm for $4.05B | Fox News Disney CEO Bob Iger said Lucasfilm had already developed an extensive story line on the next trilogy, and Episode 7 was now in early-stage development. After reading that I feel a little better and let's be honest - more Star Wars, be it good or bad, is better than no more Star Wars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshtimusPrime Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 (edited) After reading that I feel a little better and let's be honest - more Star Wars, be it good or bad, is better than no more Star Wars. This is where I respectfully disagree. No more Star Wars would be fine with me. I mean, come on, who needs more films when we have adverts: [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HXcoIN6tqXY]Currys PC World 2011 Official Ad - Vader's Visit Director's Cut (Darth Vader Star Wars) - YouTube[/ame] [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6obEMR_aRkA]Vodafone RED Box: No need for Jedi training - YouTube[/ame] There were flaws in the original films, but they are timeless classics. The prequel films were just awful. Purely as a film fan, I consider The Phantom Menace one of the worst films I have ever seen. I have no faith in an good coming from this.

DblacK23 Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 I'll wait to judge closer, but really... Sometimes they need some new ideas. Star Wars is AWESOME, just hope they don't spoil the story line by trying to create another episode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IngoBlaze Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 leave star wars alone disney!!! Episodes 1-3 were bad enough. Jar Jar made me play russian roulette! I don't think Revenge of the Sith was bad, I really liked it. Like the Empire Strikes Back it's nice seeing the bad guys win. There's always been a rumour that the trilogy was always going ahead and it would have Hamil, Ford, Fisher in it as their older self. They were simply just waiting. I'd love to see some of if not all of the original cast in the next film.

I saw that myself. I'm really looking forward to seeing what they do. I need a new star Wars film. It's too good not to have one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
privatetoast Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 (edited) Wow, this is great and totally unexpected news. I'm really surprised George Lucas is handing over the keys, and I'll be eager to see what the people attached to the project can ultimately come up with. There's so many different routes they could go and explore. Disney's acquisition of the Indiana Jones rights are also an exciting prospect.

mattigummi Posted October 31, 2012 Author Share Posted October 31, 2012 I'd love to see some of if not all of the original cast in the next film. That would be intriguing. And there will have to be some new Jedi in it (right?), and Luke was the last Jedi at the end of Episode VI, so he'd have to be the one to train a new Jedi So for that, they'd need Mark Hamill. I'd love to see Harrison Ford in it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xx_Progenitor_xX Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 I'm not sure if I'd rather see what goes on with Luke, Leia, and Han or what happens in between Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope. I know that the Force Unleashed games sort of did that but they were about 15 years after Revenge of the Sith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
