Venneh Posted October 30, 2012 Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 Disney just bought out LucasFilm. And Star Wars. Star Wars 7 is now set for 2015. HOLY SHIT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Posted October 30, 2012 Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 ... I think I am actually not angry about this. This might actually be a VERY good thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted October 30, 2012 Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 Disney has done right by Pixar and Marvel, so this cannot be bad. It could also mean a new Indiana Jones franchise! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venneh Posted October 30, 2012 Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 Lucas is no longer in complete control over the universe. This is gonna be VERY interesting. On the other hand, it could mean more Jar Jar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stratofarius Posted October 30, 2012 Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 I tThis also says that Lucas will only be a consultant, and that Kathleen Kennedy will be the executive producer. Let me remind you she was one of the executive producers behind amazing movies like Roger Rabbit, Back to the Future, ET, the first three Indiana Jones, etc. Then again, she was also the executive producer in some so so and some bad movies. I actually have high hopes for this. With Lucas out of the director's and hopefully the writer's chair, maybe they'll bring in good people that can actually make a good movie.

KnightWing Posted October 30, 2012 Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 FUCK YES! This is unbelievably awesome. As someone who's been a lifelong obsessed Star Wars fan, I couldn't be more happy about this. One thing to note: Lucasfilm wasn't "bought out;" Lucas is purposely handing control of the company over to Kennedy and Disney. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaxPower Posted October 30, 2012 Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 Pretty cool news, I now want to see mash ups like people did after the Marvel purchase. Would be amazing if they could score a big name director that would want the challenge / risk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dc20willsave Posted October 30, 2012 Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 Due to the Star Tours ride at Disney World, mash-ups already exist and can be purchased. I'm still trying to find an answer but there's a bigger reason that Disney is making out like a bandit here: unless it gets spun-off into its own entity as part of the deal, Disney now owns ILM.

Dread Posted October 30, 2012 Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 Don't get excited just yet. Disney bought the treatments for three SW movies as part of this deal. Treatments likely penned by George Lucas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stavros Posted October 30, 2012 Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 I'd pay 4 billion just to take the only copies of those scripts and burn them in front of George. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dread Posted October 30, 2012 Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 I would LOVE to see the Admiral Thrawn Trilogy, though it brings up something else. All those authors of the SW novels were pretty much safe knowing Lucas would never turn one of their stories into a film because he's too close to the franchise to allow that kind of creative control. Bet they're all a little freaked out right now, now that there is a treasure trove of content with which Disney can make billions of dollars on movie ticket sales alone without having to buy the rights to the pre-created stories.
