STALKERGB 6 Posted October 30, 2012 So, now that Disney own LucasArts and announced episode 7 (and 8 and 9 and more after) what are peoples thoughts? Could lead to some interesting plots if they put their minds to it. Yuuzhan Vong maybe if the continue after where the final film left off? http://thewaltdisneycompany.com/disney-news/press-releases/2012/10/disney-acquire-lucasfilm-ltd http://news.sky.com/story/1004857/disney-buys-lucasfilm-and-plans-new-star-wars Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

froggyluv 2136 Posted October 30, 2012 A new star wars by Disney? No way.... Hehe, thats what I was thinking. I found the last 3 made pretty awful except maybe the very last one which had a little more grit. I'd like to see a darker, meaner and moodier Star Wars -something like what Chistopher Nolan did with Batman with the vast backround of space to spew his dark prose.

ProfTournesol 956 Posted October 30, 2012 Well, sure sounds strange but hey, disney can't do much more harm that lucas hasn't already done. In fact, the Clone Wars TV series is better than the last 3 episodes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nodunit 397 Posted October 30, 2012 (edited) "I wanted to pass star wars down to the next generation" Yeah for 4 billion I'd probably do the same in his shoes, no more need to hope for huge box office hits or vast returns on toys and rehashed theatre or special collectors edition boxes, just sign that contract and be set for life. On the other hand if they do it any justice it would be neat to see dark empire, though hamil is getting a bit up there in years.

Beagle 684 Posted October 30, 2012 (edited) O.K. im now in anticipation for titles like "Star Wars VII: Pirates of Tattoine - the dark side of Endor". It worked quite well for Star Trek, albeit the old, and yes the old Trekkies are old by now, were not really happy about the restart. The whole Star Trek XI was saved by Spock and Bones, the only two characters that resembled the original ones. Edited October 30, 2012 by Beagle Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't know about Mark Hamill. He actually looks older than Harrison Ford :P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
STALKERGB 6 Posted October 30, 2012 I don't know about Mark Hamill. He actually looks older than Harrison Ford :P True he hasn't aged well lol, but maybe a cameo from him and Ford would be nice. Speaking of which, it will be interesting to see who they cast for the film in general... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jblackrupert 14 Posted October 30, 2012 (edited) Honey Boo boo will play Jabba the Huts daughter and the first episode will be called 101 Ewoks. The Kardashians are likely in talks with Disney to play key characters. Edited October 30, 2012 by jblackrupert Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nodunit 397 Posted October 31, 2012 To be honest I have more faith in disney than lucas, they have some talented film directors and respect to source material, just look at the Avengers. And Tron Legacy wasn't bad either, it didn't alienate the original in any way akin to what lucas did with the medichlorians. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mr_centipede 31 Posted October 31, 2012 Could be interesting, I remember an Ewoks movie, was that Disney or Lucasfilm? I remember it was quite good, not a war movie, but an RPG like adventure thing... I think. Damn, I'm old. The only thing I know is that it's in the same Star Wars universe. Probably after episode 6... Anyone remember the details? I guess it wasnt quite popular... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And Tron Legacy wasn't bad either, it didn't alienate the original in any way akin to what lucas did with the medichlorians. I never understood why people hated the medichlorians thing so much. It at least gives it some kind of scientific reasoning opposed to "It's magic" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maturin 12 Posted October 31, 2012 Which misses the point that Star Wars was never meant to resemble hard science fiction. It's space opera fantasy, and the Force is obviously supposed to be a religious/philosophical kind of magic. A weak-ass scientific explanation just kills it.
