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

[Wojo 2,453]

Whassat?

[Henry B 50]

Let's not take a sarcasm-laden "Yes, sure" as the final word in this. Maybe Fisher will reveal how she really feels if she decides to give a real interview, rather than say anything to fend off an intrusion into her daily routine.

[Wojo 2,453]

It's only a matter of time before somebody photoshops the Carrie Fisher of now into the gold bikini.

[Once 605]

I love this:

Article: "The upcoming Disney-owned "Star Wars" movie will star a much older Princess Leia ... at least if Carrie Fisher gets her way -- because the actress tells TMZ, she'd love to star in the next installment."

Video: "Yes. Sure. Wouldn't you?"

At least I spell Tintin correctly.

the indy OT had flaws as the SW OT had flaws. Even if people dont want to see it.

Those "flaws" are nowhere in the same league of offensiveness as the prequels or Crystal Skull. You must see this.

[Jay 37,346]

I agree with ET&E

[Ollie 1,059]

Indeed.

[Wojo 2,453]

Any flaws in the classic Indy and Star Wars films can either be chalked up to young filmmakers missing a few logical or technical mistakes, or have just become charming and acceptable over the decades.

But the flaws in Crystal Skull...these guys should've known better. And simply didn't.

[Luke Skywalker 1,795]

Well let's wait then a few decades to see if KOTCS is charming too shall we?

[Ollie 1,059]

Apparently Disney has leaked some footage.

[Faleel 5,346]

riiiight.

[Matt C 452]

He's actually an inspired choice to write Episode VII. The guy gets the structure of the SW OT down pat, and if you can't get through Toy Story 3 without getting a bit teary-eyed... I don't know what will.

[JoeinAR 1,949]

Now it's Steven Spielberg's time to direct a Star Wars film. He's the one director I would feel comfortable with.

He's already said "no."

Is it just me or Carrie Fisher's response sounded rather sarcastic?

50 no's and yes is still yes.

[Marian Schedenig 8,191]

Apparently Carrie Fisher has expressed interest in returning.

Oh good, now they can do Jabba the Hutt without CGI.

[Luke Skywalker 1,795]

Really people,

do all your mothers and grandmothers look like sofia loren?

because i would be insulted if someone said that to my normal sized for her age grandmother....

[gkgyver 1,645]

Harrison Ford and Carrie Fisher in the same movie?

This could get worse than Indy 4.

[Ollie 1,059]

Yeah that's all we need, to have Harrison Ford do another character for the 4th time looking tired and bored.

[Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488]

The problems are also rooted in the scripts. All of the dialogue in the prequels was awful and Crystal Skull seemed to be written by people who had never seen a fucking Indy movie. He would never say "drop dead" or "somewhere your grandpa is laughing", especially the way Ford delivered it. What a train wreck.

[Ollie 1,059]

Ford looked tired and bored in his first scene in KOTCS, then suddenly he's jumping around a warehouse like yoda in AOTC.

[crocodile 8,000]

Well, the last Indy film was made because we demanded it.

And so we got it...

Karol

[Matt C 452]

Now it's Steven Spielberg's time to direct a Star Wars film. He's the one director I would feel comfortable with.

Several big reasons:

1) Way too expensive

2) Won't do it unless Lucas, Kennedy and Disney persuaded him otherwise

3) Has too much on his plate right now

4) Doesn't see it as a creative challenge (i.e. the reason he didn't direct the first HP film)

"It's for the fans!" - Steven Spielberg, 2007-8'ish

[Ollie 1,059]

I didn't demand it. I wanted them to stop with LC.

My whole issue is that the Star Wars galaxy surely has other characters that can be visited instead of the same ole Skywalker scenerio.

I know Lucas managed to take an entire galaxy and condense it into Cheers, where everyone knows your name.

[Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488]

If there's one thing I learned from the prequels, it's that I don't want to visit these other characters. I loved Luke, Han, Leia, Chewie, Lando, the robots, etc. I didn't care about Anakin, Padme, young Obi-Wan, prequel Yoda, robots, etc. Things were better off being left more mysterious.

[Luke Skywalker 1,795]

Ford looked tired and bored in his first scene in KOTCS, then suddenly he's jumping around a warehouse like yoda in AOTC.

he was just gotten out of a car trunk in a long trip...

and at least..he was not CGIed in the afterwards action...

if ford can do it, then also can indy.

[Sandor 797]

Spielberg won't direct the next Star Wars. Video on Access Hollywood.

[Wojo 2,453]

Wow, thanks for posting a link!

[Quintus 5,399]

I don't see what would have been good about a Spielberg Star Wars movie anyway.

Get Brad Bird or someone.

[Ollie 1,059]

Spielberg guarantees John Williams, if he's capable at age 83.

[Jay 37,346]

Exactly

[Quintus 5,399]

A guaranteed JW doesn't guarantee a great SW score.

[Jay 37,346]

Nobody said it would

[BloodBoal 7,538]

Spielberg is getting old, too. He might not make it to 2015.

[Koray Savas 2,251]

Get Brad Bird or someone.

He was listed alongside Spielberg and J.J. Abrams as the supposed top contenders to direct.

Lucasfilm has confirmed? Lucasfilm?! Shouldn't Disney be one one doing the confirming these days? Has nothing changed?

Harrison would be great 70 year old Han Solo!

And come on! Are these not believable Skywalker siblings for the new film? I mean just look at those heart melting smiles!

[Salacius 7]

[BloodBoal 7,538]

I would love to see Williams scoring these episodes and concluding the saga.

Since SW is supposed to continue for years and years apparently (according to some statement by Disney), I doubt Williams will have a chance to conclude the saga.

[Quintus 5,399]

Oh god. I want so bad to laugh my fucking head off, but, but... I can't. My throat just refuses to engage the necessary muscles.

[Incanus 5,714]

Yes there is a strange undercurrent of fear right there in that apparently harmless picture. The awful possibility of it becoming true. The laugh gets caught in your throat.
