2015 creeps up this petty pace from film to film
Until the last syllable of the opening crawl
And all our yesterdays have lighted fanboys
Their way to shitty prequels
Out, out brief quality
Lucas is but a sitting shadow
A rich director that blues or greens his "special effects" onto the soundstage
And then is active no more
It is a property sold by an idiot
Full of Industrial Light and Magic
Signifying nothing
seriously dude, awesome avatar - i was watching that night and was all like "wwhhhaaaa"
Well there already Star Wars related rides in Desney World so it shouldn't be that much of a suprise. Well as long as George is not too much involve in Episode 7 it could be good since the Star Wars universe is vast.
This is one of those new pieces i couldn't believe at first.
I wasnt sure id see more star wars films in my lifetime, and certainly didnt expect there will be the disney logo presenting the film.
At the very least, expect tons of star wars-disney crossovers!

Yeah, this is definitely good news for Star Wars, bad news for the free market. lolN3squ1ck said:
It's like in just two years Disney took over Asia, Africa, and North America in a game of Risk. And what happens when they finally cover the whole board? Game over, man. Game. Over.
Calling it now: they go after Nintendo next.
Well my thoughts:
If moviebob doesn't say a thing about this, hes failed us.
Oh boy now the fans will complain more...
What the heck will these new films cover?

Eh, they're probably all already owned by one guy anyway, and they're just tossing crumbs to the pidgeons slowly.Ldude893 said:
Wow, this is a surprise that came out of nowhere.
But only 4 billion?
Looks like George Lucas is looking to retire. I wish him well. The guy worked pretty hard (regardless what you think of his story telling and directing) the last couple of decades to create Lucas Film, Lucas Arts, ILM ... etc, contributed quite a bit to the film industry.

That is unexpected. However, is Disney making a campaign on all nostalgia. First Marvel, now Lucas. Who's next?
Im feeling like I should have a strong opinion about this... I'm just not quite sure what it is yet.
Bloody unexpected though.

This is just beyond horrible....

"In a statement announcing the purchase, Disney said it planned to release a new Star Wars film, episode seven, in 2015.
That will be followed by episodes eight and nine and then one new movie every two or three years, the company said."
*facepalm* so Disney will just grind out more and more Star Wars movies until its like every other played out franchise out there.
The worst of it is Disney homogenizes everything, they took a well-loved English series of books...Winnie the Pooh and made it almost unrecognizable, even getting rid of central characters and replacing them with 'more relevant' characters of their own creation. Guessing they will do the same with Star Wars too

Holy shit, that was unexpected. I thought that even death wouldn't be able to separate Lucas and Star Wars.
I actually do want to give Disney a shot at the franchise. No idea what they'll do with it but it can't get any worse, right guys? Right?
Anyway, now I have to go and watch the movies again.
No wait, now that I think about it. Could the Star Wars universe be part of Kingdom Hearts 3 now? Can I please have a Lightsaber Keyblade and fight alongside Luke? In that case I wouldn't mind the long wait for the next game at all.
