the crimes of george lucas ('90s on)

lol barf pucus

sp.

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...

Should we start a separate 'the crimes of george lucas's fans' thread?

from camille paglia thread:

(she proclaims “Star Wars” creator George Lucas our greatest living artist)

somehow i feel this ought to count for this thread.

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.

Makes ya really start to ponder Are the people in the Star Wars movies humans?

Disney buys Lucasfilm, says Episode 7 will arrive in 2015.

$4B in cash & stock

had a genuine gut feeling of NOT AGAIN!!! just now

"...as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced fuck this bullshit!"

Press release here: http://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20121030006384/en/Disney-Acquire-Lucasfilm-Ltd.

"It's now time for me to pass Star Wars on to a new generation of filmmakers."

please happen

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.

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!
