BREAKING: Disney buys Lucasfilm for $4B in cash & stock :( |
A gif of George Lucas' head transposed on Scrooge McDuck swimming in money goes here,,,
|
This will greatly impact my life.
|
Oh no!!!
Wait - is this bad? |
Why?
Isn't that well pretty much tapped out at this point? Is Disney just going to re-release Star Wars every 5 years? |
This might be a good thing if it leads to MOAR STAR WARS. :clap:

This is one of the most powerful IPs the world has ever known. It prints money. We're going to see another Star Wars movie. |
What doesn't Disney own at this point?
|
Disney has done alright with Marvel. I bet they have big plans for Luke and Indy.
|
Good, I hope this means George Lucas is done with Star Wars. He has almost completely destroyed it. I was a huge fan of the originals.

It just does not seem like a $4 billion property to me. |

For those of you excited about a new Star Wars movie, google Lucas's proposed plot outlines to Star Wars Episodes VII, VIII, and IX.
Yeah, let's not make any more Star Wars movies. I'd be fine with that. |

"Star Wars" episode seven will come out in 2015, Disney says |
****ing Lucas man
|
I'm down for more star wars as long as they feature more Natalie Portman and her "enhanced" features
|
Can Disney now release the original saga on Blu-Ray, minus the Special Edition bullshit? Because I'll buy that.
|
As long as Darth Lucas no longer has creative control over the franchise, I don't care who he sells to. At this point Ed Wood would be an improvement.
Die in a ****ing fire, George. Like you should have 30 years ago. |

I really really really want to sell something for 4 billion dollars, then retire
|
Didn't the last 3 movies prove that Disney already owned Lucas Film?
|
If you thought Jar Jar Binks was bad, wait until you get a load of Disney.

It's not like I'm a big fan, but most aren't most Disney movies good?
The last three Star Wars movies were pure shit. I'd hate to see Star Wars turned into Pirates of the Caribbean, but it's better than Lucas turning Darth Vader into an emo pussy. |
Disney should cast new actors in the roles for Luke, Leia and Han.
Anthony Daniels can reprise his role as C3P0, and some slapdick can wear the Chewie costume. Take Timothy Zahn's novels and convert them to Episodes VII, VIII and IX. PROFIT. |

Toys, comics, clothes, merch and video games. Hell, just make a good trilogy and you get 4b in profit from movies and theatre. |
I dunno if Lucasarts (their video games division) falls under the Lucasfilm umbrella.
But I wouldn't be surprised. |

I'd say more but I'm sure you can all figure it out. |

Let's just say that this transaction wasn't a secret. From what I've been told (which we'll soon find out if it's true or false), is that Star Wars has a "future". And that's all I'm going to say. |

Although the word on the street is that it would be new scripts, not novel adaptions. |
Maybe they buy the Chiefs next...

The comments about the last three being "kiddy movies" always strikes me. Are those who complain about this unaware that the first three were also kids movies. The only thing that is different is the audience of the first three when they came out got older.

Supershadow? LMAO LMAO LMAO LMAO Um, no. :D |

The only exception is the ewoks in VI. They did a nice job of making Revenge of the Sith less kiddy. |
They should use the characters from the original KOTOR. That story was better than all of the movies combined.

Quote:
It might be the strongest IP of all time. I'm really excited to see what some other creative minds do with it. |
looking forward to roger goodell starring in the next star wars.

Anyways, im all for more star wars |
Quote:
I want to see the remnants of the Empire being mopped up by the New Republic. Stormtroopers, TIE Fighters and Star Destroyers, that shit is Star Wars. |

George wanted to do something that rivaled Avatar but in the end, he just doesn't have the energy or willpower. Oh, and the criticism of the second trilogy really got to him. |

Didn't Lucas do American Graffiti ? I love that movie...........

They need to pattern any new Star Wars after the animated series, which is darker. |
Quote:
|
Yes.

He took a tremendous leap from Star Wars to Raiders of the Lost Ark. |
Quote:
I could go home and happily watch Shrek tonight. That's aimed at kids, too. But unlike any of the recent Star Wars movies, it's actually good. |
Maybe Dane can answer this:
Some time ago George left the Lucasfilm empire to Kathleen Kennedy. Is she still in control now, or will Disney have control? |

It was a bad idea, and Jake Lloyd sucked. Luke was a teen when we first met him, so it should have been with Anakin. |

It's serious, dark and dramatic, and often grisly. Episode IV is slightly lighter, but not by much. There is a huge difference in tone and style. |

I wouldn't think they'd begin any wholesale changes too soon but with Alan Horn in charge, anything is possible. How about Christopher Nolan directing a Star Wars trilogy? |
