the crimes of george lucas ('90s on)

and he was just swearing no more SW movies, by him or anyone else, when Red Tails was released 9 friggin months ago

don't see how McG's Star Wars can miss really

They should use that press release as the opening crawl for Star Wars Episode VII: Don't Bother.

Hope Peter Jackson really delves into the Gungan conflict

maybe he can finally convince d. lynch to take a crack

NOTHING REGARDING UTILITY DATA WTF

Star Wars 7 shd just be 2 and a half hours of footage of costumed dorks queueing for the last shitshow

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

and he was just swearing no more SW movies, by him or anyone else, when Red Tails was released 9 friggin months ago

He was probably saying that to get Disney to up their price.

this happened, it was called Fanboys

can't make it any worse. go for it, disney. knock yourselves out.

i assumed this was fake news, but, it isn't

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.

OTOH Joss Whedon is the golden boy for Disney/Marvel, maybe they'll let him play with it.

okay, but what about the movie?

So now Disney owns Pixar, Marvel and Lucasfilm!?!

pssh, they didn't say 7-9, they said feature films

maybe more animation at first?

Pixar revitalized Disney

Pixar started as a Lucasfilm offshoot that was sold

Marvel published Star Wars comics in the late 70s

o_O

Outside guess: they turn it over to the Clone Wars TV series folks to run with.

pssh, they didn't say 7-9, they said feature films

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?

meh

Thrawn Trilogy plz

I hope we finally get to find out what Palpatine was like when he was a little boy

Related note -- this also means Disney gets Indiana Jones.

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

Well there's already the Indiana Jones ride, so.

So, what, Raggett? With thoughts like that we'll never see the return of cheap old-style rides like Mr. Toad

Hahaha but the kids these days with their lasers and their hula hoops and

can't make it any worse. go for it, disney. knock yourselves out.

who should get do this and who will?

somebody good, morons

I nominate goole

It'll be Jar Jar's Magic Ride and we'll all weep.

Jar Jar's Song of the Gungans

Mr. Watto's on shoulder

Issa True!

This is a good thing. #1: reduces george lucas's ability to do any more damage, #2: odds of proper DVD release of ORIGINAL THEATRICAL STAR WARS go up immensely, #3: horrible anonymous disney sequels actually DILUTE impact of the prequels, substantially eroding their seeming claim to be an integral piece of the saga...they instead get lumped together with the other postmillenial Shitty Star Warses. And maybe the design work for the new spaceships and robots and monsters won't suck so bad.

I can't hide the fact that part of me is kind of excited about this. I could see a possible way of this possibly ending up leading to a good Star Wars movie. This part of my brain left over from when I was 12 is really not good at having rational expectations.

If this interferes with John Carter 2 I am gonna rage

they... closed Mr Toad's Wild Ride?????

Actually I was wondering about that, I thought it was open last time I checked!

I was thinking they did, maybe just in Disney World? I might be wrong completely.

It was open at Disneyland when I went in April. It is closed at Magic Kingdom.

It's funny, I'm only realizing now that the Indiana Jones ride at Disneyland really is just like Mr. Toad on insane-o steroids.

boom

on the positive side, lucas can buy some new shirts

A friend has posited this could mean Ewoks running around the theme parks now. Perhaps if they let people kick them...

my gf went to school with the kid whose dad designed jar-jar binks!

his lot was not enviable.

xp to polyphonic there's no way they do the Thrawn trilogy, and have to re-cast Han, Luke and Leia.
