Disney to Acquire Lucasfilm Ltd.

A Pixar SW movie!

Look at how Disney handled the Marvel movies. This can only mean good things for SW. At least that's what I am gonna tell myself.

Well, it should be noted that the Marvel movies were actually done by the newly created Marvel film studio and only distributed by Disney.

But still, I would imagine that given the high profile status of something like a new Star Wars movie, Disney will attempt to put everything they can into it. They certainly have the resources.

So I'm guessing they'll just say screw it and cast new people in the roles. No way to make the original cast fit in the roles now

Ian McDiarmid as the spirit of the Emperor.

Biggest news of the year for me.
I find it kinda cool that Lucas decided to step aside and let SW live on without him during his lifetime. Not that I had problems with what he's been doing (or not doing), but I just think it is a great thing to do.
Lucas rules.

X-Wing rides!!!!

I feel like there should be a parade right now. Which is kind of awful considering what's going on around me (east coast) but my brain can't help it.

I'm gonna laugh my ass off when all the Lucas-hating tittybaby whiners are begging for him to come back when they realize that even the PT's were better than the garbage Disney will put out in 2015.

I'd never beg for Lucas back, nothing Disney does can be any worse the the handling of SW over the last 15+ years. Either it gets better or it stays sucking.

Bottom line, I will always have the OT, so it doesn't really matter who has SW.

If Disney uses real sets, then it's automatically better then half the PT.

Johnny Depp in SW!

God no.

Justin Bieber as Luke Skywalker with Miley Cyrus as Leia and Mickey as Yoda. Oh yeah, just wait!

Well, there is one in SF tomorrow... maybe they can change it to a World Series/Lucasfilm parade?

Stop it... Just stop.

Sure, Nam. Sure

In all seriousness, it would be nice to see Hamill and McGregor back as Jedi Spirits. Maybe even Liam this time?

I wouldn't bother with Harrison or Carrie.

Even the last Pirates of the Caribbean movie (while being fairly awful) was still infinitely better than Ep 1.

 

[Kuzeh]

I do think this is great news indeed...
I mean, it cannot be worse than Jar Jar and little Ani... right?...

 

[Buttmunch]

Best WTF news EVER! Did not see this coming one bit! Episode 7!

Are they going to get the gang back together? Hamill? Fisher? Ford?!?!
