    Thank you Lucas for your vision, now its time for someone to perfect it again. Im very happy about this. Lots of potential now that he won't have a stranglehold over the universe. A good director and cast can churn out quality

    Pretty torn about this. I've read plenty of the books which i think have great plots and will make good movies but who plays the key roles? Going to be wierd seeing new people playing Luke, Han etc etc

    One thing to say.... They must make movies with Grand Admiral Thrawn!! That was the best trilogy in Star Wars universe.

    Episode 7 can mean anything though. Imo the universe is the value, not any particular character.

    in all seriousness though, they'd be wise to either take it back to almost campy days (which is probably nearly impossible now) or to change the feel altogether like the new Star Trek movie(s). That episode 1-3 stuff isn't gonna cut it

    Anything they want really. It's theirs now.

    Old Republic stuff is always cool. In the end, the books are just the books. Lucas didn't write them. They aren't "canon."

    It may be that they pick the story up somewhere after the events of RoTJ with Luke, Han, etc. Who knows.

    I'm pretty excited by this. I think getting Lucas out of the picture and bringing in next sets of eyes and ideas can't be a bad thing and obviously with that 4 billion dollar price tag Disney is commited to the franchise. I just hope they don't rush Episode 7, I want them to take their time to develop a good story, if that means the movie won't be ready until 2016 or 2017 so be it.

    You're right, my point is totally invalidated. Lol just pointing out that large multi story arcs aren't THAT uncommon

    It would have been better if it was Pixar that bought them.

    Watch, the movie will directed by Gore Vibenski and star Johnny Depp as Han Solo.

    Count the three Hobbit films and it is indeed a 9 movie series.

    I haven't read up on it, but I still don't get why that has to be 3 movies. Not a very big book. Maybe they are adding other stuff?

    I know you were trying to be funny but you're better at being a cliche in tight pants.

    Seriously, GV and Depp did the Pirate movies and now the Lone Ranger one for Disney.

    Holy crap can you imagine Star Wars with Pixars technology and John Lassiter's creative control.......
