disney bought lucasfilm, new star wars movie on the way?

I can't help but think that disney will capitalize on this move by resurrecting the most profitable movie franchise in the history of two universes...episodes 7 - 9 anyone?

It's hard to see how this could be worse than the crap Lucas put into 1-3. Then again, it's Disney, everything will be frilly and happy and there will probably be sing along songs throughout.

i dunno, hasnt disney made some pretty heavy adult fare in the past? i cant think of any of the top of my head, but havent they?

They've already confirmed that they're going to be making Episode 7 for release in 2015. Simply amazing! And George Lucas will have little to no input on how it gets made, the directing style, use of real props instead of ubiquitous CGI, etc.

I completely agree! It should only be improvement from here on out. Good bye George Lucas and Jar Jar.

Actually, this is kind of a misconception based on what Disney's roots were. They've since gone on to buy out Pixar and Marvel, which has resulted in the making of some awesome action movies such as Iron Man 2, Captain America, The Avengers, and Thor. I think they have become much more capable of doing justice to a new Star Wars trilogy (and hopefully more than just three movies). This is what happens when you wish upon a Death Star!

Here are some movie ideas I found on Twitter that they should avoid:
"These Are Not The Dwarves You're Looking For"
"Lightsaber In The Stone"
"Beauty and the Bantha"
"The Flubber Menace"
"Snow White and the Seven Ewoks"
"Palpatine's New Groove"
"Jabba the Pooh"
"20,000 Parsecs Under The Sea"
"Buzz Lightsaber"

There are so many of these...

As I have already said before:

Now that George Lucas isn't involved they might be able to make a decent Star Wars movie


That is of course until they turn a firefight between Han and some Storm Troopers into a musical number... :dry:

I am SO freakin excited right now!

(proper emoticon inserted)

How about this I feel, certain I am not.



*Starts singing and dancing*

Best news I've heard since I saw the Man of Steel trailer at the Dark Knight Rises!

Oh and the Disney musical number part doesn't really apply anymore...those were just in classic Disney animation movies. Pirates of the Caribbean (although the HMS Bounty got sunk last night so those movies are toast), Narnia movies, Marvel movies, Pixar movies...and I don't know about you guys but I loved Tron Legacy.

By the way this totally shouldn't be in 'Introduce Yoursel' :silly:

Well, in a way, this is the new, awesome Star Wars introducing itself.

Duly moved

Thanks for pointing it out

This is SO exciting. I would have NEVER guessed that a new Star Wars Episode (7) would be coming out ever. (I even believe that George Lucas spoke out against it many times.) This is honestly something I never thought would happen, and I will definitely check it out when it comes out, although I am immensely fearful of how Disney will either make this movie successful or a disaster.

Yeah, I was hoping v tog would catch that. At least its not the exact opposite of an intro or anything

A friend of mine seems to think that Steven Speilberg will be leading this new project. I seriously hope not, I'm only slightly more fond of him than I am lucas.

My go-to source for movie info.

No director/producer has been announced yet.

Jhonny depp is the next luke skywalker. Vanessa hudgens is princess leia and the lion king is darth vader (no change there).

I personally don't know what to think. It's a big change, very different from what we're used to. It could end in ruins, or be better than ever.

James Earl Jones - MY HERO!

I can't help but feel it will be better at least than the first and second ones...and this does not belong in introduce yourself section.
