Disney to Acquire Lucasfilm Ltd.

[karamazov80]

This news doesn't mean much to me, personally, since I don't really care about any new Star Wars media. Just give us the OT on Blu Ray, and I'll be happy.

JJ Abrams would be my pick.

I like that idea but I remember Abrams saying he could never do SW the way he did Trek because he loves SW too much to be objective.

But now that it's a reality.....

Everyone sell those Sideshow ANH Vaders now!!!!

As was already stated, they are already well into preproduction.

It would definitely explain why they suddenly bumped up the 3D re-releases from one a year to two a year.

And on that note, it's pretty much a given that the new SW trilogy will be full 3D.

Think how awesome a SW movie would be with lens flare every 3 minutes....brilliant!!!!

If your biggest gripe with the director is his use of lens flare, you're only validating my pick.

Screw Pixar Star Wars. I want the other side of Lucasfilm to be made into movies.

THE MONKEY ISLAND MOVIE!
THE GRIM FANDANGO MOVIE!
THE DIG MOVIE!
DAY OF THE TENTACLE (and Manaic Mansion)

All made by Pixar!

And Full Throttle...in live action...

As drooling as I would be for those, does this deal apply only to Lucasfilm, or is LucasArts included in that?

 

[Rorywan]

Don't want anymore Star Wars animation. Live action or nothing.

Honestly, I think Disney would've been better off setting up a new SW in either the Old Republic or Legacy generations.

i'd really like to see stand alone films. i'd love to see a darth maul, boba fett or darth vader movie.

I like Garrett Hedlund for Luke depending on the year set of the movie.

 

[saintsyn]

Isn't this one of the signs of the Apocalypse?

If they're continuing Luke, Han and Leia's story...it's gonna need to be animated. But not like the 'little kids" animation they use for the Clone Wars cartoon. What about something like the Star Wars: The Old Republic trailers. That would be perfect.

If they do Luke, Han, and Leia that is... I'd rather them take on another era. I happen to love the Expanded Universe and don't wanna see the continuity of that thrown out the window.

THIS **** JUST GOT REAL!!!! Without Lucas, the new films with new directors can bring us everything we want as fans.

I'd actually prefer if Disney started fresh away from the Lucas mess. New story arc. New characters. Ballsy but could work.

At least this will stop the constant tinkering with the movies.

And 7-8-9 is a direction I always preferred to go rather than backwards.

Hope they don't rush this, but it sounds like it already is. They've given themselves 2.5 years to prepare for a trilogy and deliever the first film.

I'm a very nervous passenger right now.

LOL, I agree - I loved his Star Trek movie
