Wow, Disney is buying Lucasfilm... this could be both good and bad! Maybe they'll get rid of Jar Jar and digitally edit in the Crows from Dumbo! Or the vultures from the Jungle Book! Either would be an improvement, LOL!!!
In all seriousness though, maybe Disney will restore the original movies to their original UNEDITED, NON-CGI glory, and release them on DVD/Blu-Ray. I'd sure love to see that. I have the unedited versions on VHS, but obviously... it's VHS. I don't want the craptastic versions where Lucas added in a CG Jabba the Hut in scenes that really didn't add to the overall story, and all the other stupid things he did to ruin what was already a cinematic masterpiece.
Who knows, it could be good to have Disney in charge of that franchise. Could be bad too.
Oh yeah... Episode VII due out in 2015, according to Disney.
w00000000000t!!!!!!!!!!
Heck yeah!
The deal also gave them rights to the Indiana Jones franchise. Not sure what that will mean movie wise but I am willing to bet some theme park additions as well as maybe some games.
Oh wow think of all the things they can add to their parks. I was looking this up last night and read that Lucas said he was done. Well I guess he is done. It will be interesting to see, but lets hope it is not John Carter with a light saber.
I'm excited about this! Hopefully no more noooooooooooo's added to Vader's dialogue 🙂
Wish Lucas had been done before he destroyed some many good things he started...Disney has a lot of good labels underneath the parent that can do some really good things with the franchises. I sure hope it works out but I really can't see it being worse than under Lucas.
I agree Zanlen... I'll reference this South Park episode (it's just a 1 minute clip at southparkstudios.com), which came out shortly after the last Indiana Jones movie came out (The Crystal Skull). It really sums up what Lucas and Spielberg have done to those franchises.
LOL that was great and unfortunetely so true 🙁
Completely agree. Still insist first known use of a time machine once it is invented will be to go back in time and kill him right after the third movie is made. Before he can destroy the first three or bring to the world the farce of the next three.
Goofy will be a new dark jedi
Obviously, Leia will be the next Disney Princess!
Forget talks of Microsoft taking over the world. Look at a few of Disney's major purchases over the last few years. ABC, ESPN, Pixar, Marvel, Lucas Film, The Muppets! What next? lol. If they move to buy apple or Microsoft the end is here.... Run for your lives!
Yeah Disney is crazy big now.
i dont know what the future movies are about, but long time ago i got the dark horse comics Star Wars Dark Empire graphic novels and it basically was the continuation of all our heroes, but the emperor was not dead, he transferred his soul into another clone body of his, where he has several stored up just in case he gets killed again...it talks about the galactic core etc...wonder if the dark empire is going to be it...
