Disney to Acquire Lucasfilm Ltd.

[teemu]

I could see Mark Hamill as the mentor training a new Jedi Knight, putting him in the Qui-Gon/Old Obi-Wan position from the first installment of the previous trilogies. Kill Old Luke in Episode VII and bring back his ghost for VIII and IX. It would be fitting--and Jedi Luke dying could be powerful if handled correctly.

luke won't die as he is the "subliminal" Savior..he'll be in all 3 and live

I think Lucas wants to sit back and enjoy hearing people ***** about someone else screwing up Star Wars.

Either way hes pocketing 2 bil cash and getting 2 bil in Disney stocks which puts him in with the the top of the Disney shareholders. Time to retire, relax and let Disney start putting out some nice Star Wars **** that people have been demanding for years.

He can pursue his life long goal of eating full time now.

OMG, someone else remembers that movie... or cartoon as it were.

Yeah, but they need to put out the version that was on HBO, not the sanitized VHS tape version. Great little film.

Meh, no big deal.

Have you ever felt differently about anything?

If anyone was going to get the Star Wars franchise, was Disney the best choice? I'm happy they got it....who else would have been a good suitor?

I want more Midichlorians, Gungans and spitting Boss Nads.

I'm just excited about all the cool new superficial crap alone that will come out of this. New posters, trooper and bounty hunter designs, ships, etc.

What a gutpunch to 20th Century Fox though, it'll be strange not having the Fox fanfare leading into the beginning of a new live-action SW film. And was the Director's Guild requirement to show a director credit at the beginning of the film ever revoked or will that be another change to the opening "format" since Lucas will no longer be helming?

So has Lucas redeemed himself for "ruining" the movies by giving up control

George Lucas has anointed Kathleen Kennedy both as the filmmaker to take Star Wars into its bold new future as well as the person to run Lucasfilm. She is a longtime friend and collaborator with Lucas, and one of the most successful and respected producers and executives in the film industry today."

I guess it won't be too long before the OT gets "re-imagined". If Disney does decide to 're-imagine' SW, I hope they start with EP I - the PT is the only part of SW that needs re-imagining!

I can live with that. I actually enjoy most of the PT. Just alot of Ep 1 that I choose to forget.

Yeah, after Disney spent 4 billion they're going to have their own ideas. Like hiring a director of their choosing.
