*sigh*

Well, consider me skeptical. I'm a huge fan of Star Wars. All of the movies (except AotC. That one blew). But I don't know what there is left to do. Star Wars is one continuing storyline, and the story is wrapped up. Unless they do all new characters, I'm not sure how it will work.

 

But hey, if they make a good movie, I won't complain.

Or a worse script.

 

"I don't like sand. It's coarse and rough and it gets everywhere."

 

It could always be worse!

Allllwaaaaayssss!

Considering the shitton of EU material out there, it does a surprisingly good job at maintaining as much consistency as possible...

I don't know… the books I read from after Return of the Jedi and then the new material that was written into the EU after the prequel trilogy came out, I felt like it was really poorly done.

Wow, this is the last thing I expected to happen today. Disney's buying everything nowadays. First Marvel, now this!

 

But really, I think this is good news. They'll probably handle the IP better than George Lucas, and we won't get any more edits to the original trilogy (and hey, who knows, maybe Disney will release them in their original form on Blu-ray soon). And Episode VII could turn out to be really great -- with a good director/producer, a fantastic script, and today's special effects, with Lucas apparently serving only as a creative consultant, it could really be something. Plus, this combined with Avengers 2 in 2015 confirms that Disney will be continue to be rolling in dough for quite some time.

 

To be honest, I'm really surprised Disney only had to pay 4 billion bucks. I would have thought the Star Wars franchise would be worth a lot more than that, not to mention all the subsidiaries that Lucasfilm, Ltd. has with it (Lucasart, Industrial Light & Music, etc.). George must have been pretty desperate. Interesting that Indiana Jones isn't mentioned really at all in any of the news articles as much as Star Wars... maybe Paramount holds more rights to that than Fox did to Star Wars, so Disney doesn't fully own that now too?

Dude. Disney bought Pixar and they started canceling original movies to make sequels

 

So what you're saying is, you didn't like Toy Story 3?

Nope. That's ridiculously stupid logic.

It's like if I said that Squaresoft started to decline after they merged with Enix, and you repleid with "So you think all Square Enix are terrible and never should have been made?"

It's really stupid to say stuff like that.

Have you actually heard of the original movies Pixar had in the works? There was some really interesting stuff that got canceled.

There's good and there's bad. It's a matter of taste WHICH EU stuff you'll like, but I guarantee there's some out there, sheerly on the virtue that there is so much of it.

Personally, I think the story of The Force Unleashed (NOT the sequel though) is one of the best post-trilogy things to come of Lucasarts.

As long as its not a cartoon version of clone wars.

Meh. Disney bought Marvel and I haven't seen error in that.

No I haven't heard of them. Besides the fact you were quite rude in your reply, you made some half decent points. But I must say that it was Pixar's choice to sell, and George Lucas' choice to sell. Disney didn't force them. As far as I know, that is. So we really have no right to complain at this point in time.

That's stupid logic. "We're not directly responsible for it, therefore we can't form an opinion about it"

If I punched you in the face, would you say "Oh, it was your choice to do that, I can't really complain"?

American mediagiant disney has reported that they have bought Lucas Films with over 4 milliard dollars.

Also, the Lucas Films has announced that they are currenly working on seventh Star Wars movie which should come out in 2015, after that there should also be eight film coming. The rights of Indiana Jones is also in hands of disney.

 

The maker of Star Wars series George Lucas has said that he wants to give Star Wars to new generation. The first Star Wars movie came out in year 1977, during its' 35-year life time, Star Wars has earned about 4,4 milliard dollars.

 

So what do you guys think about this? I personally find this very surprising. I'm also very scared of new Star Wars movie and can't say that I'm all hyped for it.

its was 4 BILLION DOLLARS and what the H E Double hockey sticks is a milliard?

I loved Star Wars, but this is stupid. It's too late to continue those movies. But hey, prove me wrong Disney.

I guess we'll just wait and see what comes in 2015. Lucas has lost my trust with the uneccesary blu-ray changes anyway, so I guess we have nothing to lose.

First Marvel, now Lucas Film's? What are they going to buy next?

Soon enough it's Sora vs the Sith Lord and Darth Vader.

 

 

Seems legit.

This may be a stupid question... but with Disney having acquired Star Wars, does that mean the franchise could have a spot in a future Kingdom Hearts game?

Dammit George WTF DID YOU DO D:< Even though Disney has already partially acquired Star Wars now they get everything else? D:< Dammit Now its all gonna be kid friendly with no violence http://kh13.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/default/sleep.png Kill meeee

Disney doesn't have violence? Well I'm sure that movies like pirates of the caribian has as much violence as any Star Wars movie

Edited October 31, 201212 yr by dusk

I wonder what the world for Star Wars would be.

 

Death Star. or Tatooine.

 

What about Indiana Jones.

 

Probably that temple of skulls or whatever it is
