I think the funniest SW humor would be a documentary wherein someone goes to a convention and arrogantly recounts his favorite elements of the Star Wars universe with superfans and constantly gets little details wrong. Like calling that trash can thing R2-B2.

Obi-Wan: There was nothing you could have done, Luke, had you been there. You'd have been killed too, and the droids would now be in the hands of the Empire.Luke: I want to come with you to Alderaan. There's nothing for me here now. I want to learn the ways of the Force and become a Jedi like my father. Obi-Wan: Why yes, yes......that's a great idea. Let's do that...

No, sorry, that church display is ten times better and more realistic than anything released by Lucasfilm in the past 15 years.

yeah, as much as I disagree with the sentiment, that display is pretty amazing.

They should try and get Tom Six, and make Episode VII: Gungan Centipede.

I just can't even imagine for a moment what they'd pursue as storylines for Episodes 7-9. Not even the Expanded Universe stuff would be in play here, because that all includes the original cast.
― C-3PO Sharkey (Phil D.), Tuesday, 30 October 2012 20:27 (eleven years ago) link
OTOH Joss Whedon is the golden boy for Disney/Marvel, maybe they'll let him play with it.

pssh, they didn't say 7-9, they said feature films
maybe more animation at first?
― d-_-b (mh), Tuesday, 30 October 2012 20:29 (eleven years ago) link
Pixar revitalized Disney
Pixar started as a Lucasfilm offshoot that was sold
Marvel published Star Wars comics in the late 70s

Dude it's right in the subhead: STAR WARS: EPISODE 7 feature film targeted for release in 2015.

I will say that Clone Wars supervising producer Dave Filoni LOVES the SW universe and knows it better than pretty much anyone. Maybe he will be the guy, who knows?

Related note -- this also means Disney gets Indiana Jones.
― Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 30 October 2012 20:51 (eleven years ago) link
I hope they bring back Mr. Toad's Wild Ride, call it Indiana Jones: Wild Ride, and just paint all the walls to be Indiana Jones scenes and make Mr. Toad's car into a mining cart
― d-_-b (mh), Tuesday, 30 October 2012 20:52 (eleven years ago) link
Well there's already the Indiana Jones ride, so.
