Disney buys Lucasfilm and all subsidiaries for $4.05billion, will release Star Wars Episode VII in 2015

[Once 1,084]

Not at all, actually.

[Luke Skywalker 2,385]

Carrie fisher confirms she is in SW VII:

But i think she was sarcastic...

[Wojo 2,458]

A lot can happen between now and 2015. We have to get through the Mayan calendary thingy, remember?

[Koray Savas 2,260]

Wes Anderson directing Star Wars? I want this to happen just so the entire universe would implode.

Schwartzman would be the protagonist. Portman would return as the love interest. Bill Murray would be Chewy.

[Ollie 1,375]

I think someone in this thread needs to get laid.. ....

[Wojo 2,458]

Reminder: Criticizing Star Wars for the acting is akin to criticizing the Green Bay Packers football team for having ugly uniforms.

Unlike the last Super Bowl both teams were in, here's something Pittsburgh can say they beat them at.

But anyone who watches football for the uniforms needs to get their ass back in the kitchen.

[Once 1,084]

I can't even imagine how a Wes Anderson Star Wars film would look like. Or how John Williams would tackle an Anderson score..

But he's not gonna do it with The Grand Budapest Hotel coming out in 2014. I'm looking forward to see Ralph Fiennes, Saoirse Ronan and Jude Law join his regulars, though!

[Joe Brausam 234]

Carrie Fischer did a book signing an hour away from me? And I didn't know? Color me disappointed...

[A24 5,156]

I can't even imagine how a Wes Anderson Star Wars film would look like.

Probably how the suits of Disney are telling him how it should look like.

[Koray Savas 2,260]

There's really no point in discussing it. It's not going to happen. It's akin to them asking PTA to direct it.

[Brónach 1,330]

I'm imagining countless directors scared away from the burden of this project one after another.

[Wojo 2,458]

I'm imagining countless directors scared away from the burden of this project one after another.

Billions and billions of directors?

[Ollie 1,375]

Actually I'd think there would be more directors who don't give a shit about directing a new Star Wars film compared to those who wet their pants with excitement about doing one.

[Xander Harris 9,677]

That football player is wearing Mario's bee suit!

Also, the acting in the original trilogy is...pretty good.

[Once 1,084]

Disney wants to Release 2 to 3 Star Wars films per year?

[Wojo 2,458]

What if they made a Star Wars movie...and nobody showed up?

[Xander Harris 9,677]

[Jay 46,244]

I'm sure the films marked Episodes 7, 8, and 9 will come out every 3 years like before, with the other movies coming out around them focusing on individual characters.

Kinda like The Avengers has a sequel coming out in 3 years but there will be Iron Man, Thor, and Captain America movies in between

[A24 5,156]

Maybe Disney sees it more like the Twilight series: Each year a new Star Wars movie.

[Once 1,084]

Apparently they said 2 or 3 Lucas productions a year, not Star Wars movies..

[Admiral Holdo 16]

I wouldn't mind a few that aren't Star Wars. Lucasfilm isn't just Star Wars, any more than Disney is just Mickey Mouse.

[A24 5,156]

Each year a new Howard The Duck movie?

Lea Thompson: "I'm in!"

[Wojo 2,458]

May as well, while Lea Thompson is still relatively hot.

[Once 1,084]

I can't wait for the new Willow franchise! Warwick Davis FTW!

[Jay 46,244]

Will there be completely new movies unrelated to any existing Lucasfilm owned characters released under the Lucasfilm banner?

[Xander Harris 9,677]

I've been saying it for years. In the late 80s/early 90s Lucas said there wouldn't be any more Star Wars movies and he would be producing smaller films. It was also apparently his life's dream to make Red Tails. Red Tails eventually happened...after Star Wars was reissued, new trilogy, Indiana Jones IV, TV shows, merchandising, etc. Whatever happened to all those smaller independent flicks he was going to produce, I don't know.

[BloodBoal 8,711]

[Luke Skywalker 2,385]

I can't wait for the new Willow franchise! Warwick Davis FTW!

I would love this to be made films. I think GL scrapped the idea because Willow underperformed at the box office. But seeing that WIllow is now a cult film, and the LOTR trend, i think that if they did them right (not like the narnia films) they could be popular films.

[Sandor 918]

Never heard of them. Are they any good..?

[Wycket 36]

Here's hoping for a Zombies Ate My Neighbors movie. It could be really fun if done right.

[Jay 46,244]

What's wrong with the Narnia movies?

[Quintus 6,499]

The first one was a vanilla Disney fantasy for toddlers.

[Jay 46,244]

Toddlers, really?

[gkgyver 1,647]

Really.

[Luke Skywalker 2,385]

the narnia films feel rushed LOTR derivatives. They pale in comparison with LOTR.

I would prefer the Willow sequels to be LOTR quality.

Heck, bring PJ for them . or guillermo del toro hehe.

Never heard of them. Are they any good..?

Well, i think the language is very complex, it took me time to accustom to it. It's not the same as in the SW novels. I read them arround 2000 so i had only been 4-5 years reading in english, im sure if i read them today i would undenstand them better (i read LOTR without much problem aside from ol' english like language)

I liked the Story.

It's difficult to resume because i dont want to spoil it.

Madmartigan and shorsa do not appear because a meteorite struck Tyr Asleen. Elora danan was miraculously transported to another kigdom's castle.

This would be perfect because both actors would be too old to reprise their roles now... i think lucas made it on purpose just in case.

Since willow is aged now, davis can play him. Same for elora.

The only problem are the browny pair, who appear in these. But i think they could be re-cast. After all i think they were not known actors and they voices are pitch altered...

yes she was joking, the page has been updated.

[Sandor 918]

Thanks for the info, Luke..! Interesting.

[Luke Skywalker 2,385]

Thanks for the info, Luke..! Interesting.

i really didnt say many details about it.....

here you can read the 'back cover blurb'. I would consider the ones from book two and three spoilerish...but when you buy a book one usual reads that...

scroll down to the end of the page.

Great game!

[A24 5,156]

Toddlers, really?

And for Jason, apparently.

[Matt C 605]

The first one was a vanilla Disney fantasy for toddlers.

For Prince Caspian... I'd be inclined to agree. Wardrobe didn't feel very Disney-lite, save for the end credit songs.

Dawn Treader on the other hand, looked and felt like a DTV sequel at times. I blame that cheap look on the digital cameras used, though.

[Sandor 918]

On his Twitter page, Brad Bird tweeted he's 'not doing Star Wars'.

[Once 1,084]

Guillermo del Toro will be set to do it, but after some time in development hell George Lucas will return.

[BloodBoal 8,711]

[Wojo 2,458]

Get Mel Brooks. He did promise Spaceballs 2: The Quest for More Money, after all. This is his chance.

[Matt C 605]

I hate Spaceballs. I'm not a huge Mel Brooks fan, but that movie has not aged well. And it's not funny.

I prefer Robin Hood: Men in Tights and Young Frankenstein over that.

[Wojo 2,458]

Spaceballs >>>>>>> Prequels

[Koray Savas 2,260]

Spaceballs is brilliant. Dracula: Dead And Loving It is my favorite Brooks film though.

[scallenger 665]

Don't know if this was already posted... but maybe... this is evidence... that maybe... this all... isn't... such... a good... thing...

LOL. WOW.

[indy4 160]

Wow...they really didn't wait at all, did they? That was posted on November 1st, and the sale was announced October 31st.

[Jay 46,244]

Coincidence
