CrimsonStrife Posted October 30, 2012 Author Share Posted October 30, 2012 As for the new Star Wars installments, the companies said Lucasfilm’s Kathleen Kennedy would be executive producer on Episode 7 and any more Star Warsmovies, and Lucas would serve as creative consultant. There was no indication about where the story would pick up, though technically in the franchise’s chronology it would follow Star Wars: Episode 6 — Return Of The Jedi, the third film in the initial trilogy that came out in 1983. I have soo many mixed thoughts...I mean afterall, The Avengers was well done, and Disney has their fingers in that pie....maybe they can do it justice. Link to comment
Mad-Old-Odd-Spy-Elk Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced. I fear something terrible has happened afi, MUG, Milamber and 5 others like this Link to comment

Guest Ory'Hara Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Disney is paying $4.05 billion to buy Lucasfilm Ltd., the production company behind "Star Wars," from its chairman and founder, George Lucas. It's also making a seventh movie in the "Star Wars" series called "Episode 7," set for release in 2015, with plans to follow it with Episodes 8 and 9 and then one new movie every two or three years. The Walt Disney Co. announced the blockbuster agreement to make the purchase in cash and stock Tuesday. The deal includes Lucasfilm's prized high-tech production companies, Industrial Light & Magic and Skywalker Sound, as well as rights to the "Indiana Jones" franchise disney makin starwars, what do you guys think of this?

therfiles Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Seems like a major change of mind for Lucas. Seemed like he was totally against any sort of sequel trilogies. Link to comment

CrimsonStrife Posted October 30, 2012 Author Share Posted October 30, 2012 He says he will still be consulting on the franchise though...just means he no longer has the final say. Again though, considering the success Disney has had soo far with the Marvel franchise...I could see this turning out better than expected. Link to comment
afi Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Afaik Lucas just wanted to make things clear as long he's alive and ensure that SW lives on after he died (that's at least what I heard) therfiles likes this Link to comment

eezstreet Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 Assuming Disney bought LA (not just LucasFilm), what about the SP and engine source for JA? Link to comment
CrimsonStrife Posted October 31, 2012 Author Share Posted October 31, 2012 Assuming Disney bought LA (not just LucasFilm), what about the SP and engine source for JA?They got the whole shebang....but I have no idea what that means for it. Link to comment
Mysterious Stranger Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 He says he will still be consulting on the franchise though...just means he no longer has the final say. Pretty sure they're going to cut him out of it, slowly... I hope I don't stop becoming a fan with whatever horrors Disney might produce... Maybe we might actually see a JK4? Link to comment
Malkav Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 Shut up and let's see if we can get a new JK game out of this. eezstreet likes this Link to comment
