I wonder what Walt thinks of the conglomorate that his company has become.

Remember Disney made the Avengers. Imagine putting the amount of resources behind a new Star Wars without Lucus to muck it up.

Pssh. I don't even know what to say or think. Disney doing Star Wars. Okay. Kill me now. Or don't. I don't know. Help me.

Disney owns Marvel - Avengers was pretty good.

Joss Whedon doing Star Wars? It may actually be cool....

And Disney is such a money whore they may release the cleaned up Original theatrical release on Blu-Ray

On the bright side, Disney did pretty damn well with the Avengers.

I'm sure Star Wars fans are excited about the possibility of Han Solo's son being played by Disney's newest Bieber clone.

PLEASE PLEASE DO THE BANE TRIOLOGY!

PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dude.

How do we feel about this? ?? ?? ?????! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

?

Without Disney?

With Disney?

It's a virtually unlimited budget from a company that wants to make its money. It's no longer being held hostage by George Lucas which means that they'll make what they want. I saw that MarkOU wants the Bane Trilogy. They can do it. Heir to the Empire?? They can do it. There will be shit that's made in the name of Star Wars but we lived through Episode I, we can do it again.

One of you Star Wars nuts might know this, but I thought Lucas had originally written 9 movie scripts, but selected the middle 3 for original release? Would they just finish up the Skywalker story or would they go outside that and maybe do something like Mark wants?

No he wrote one script that was later broken down into IV, V and VI. He only wrote an outline for the back story but it was basic and not much detail.

The planet Corusant, the city planet, was not even named by Lucas. Timmothy Zhan, who wrote the Thrawn triology, coined that phrase and that was some of the details Lucas used when he later wrote I, II and III.

Han gonna shoot first again now?

 

[Taz_Hokie]

All this talk is making me want to play The Old Republic again.

 

[MarkOU]

They started the Old Republic Novels now. If you played the game you will recognize many places and characters.

My thoughts:

-I don't blame Lucas at all for cashing out. That's some serious cash

-Just because its Disney doesn't mean it will suck. As stated earlier, Avengers was badass.

-Lucas in a minimal role could be great. Have you seen his work since the prequels (and Indy)? It's largely garbage. He's lost his touch (though some would argue he never had it).

-Not sure how I feel about 7,8,9. I assume its the storyarc post RotJ that the books took up? I never read them but picked up most of the story from fans on the net, etc. Also, are the new movies live action or animated like that Cartoon Network show?

 

[Taz_Hokie]

Pretty sure this was the first one on the cooler, so SHUT YER HOLE!!
