      Disney buys Lucasfilm for $4bn - New Star Wars film out in 2015

      As a Star Wars fanatic I am happy about this news even if my wallet will not be.

      Star Wars Episode 7 will be out in 2015 with the other 2 films completing the new trilogy every 3 years there after. This meaning that when the new trilogy finishes in 2021 I will be 44 years young  :f_tongueincheek:

      Any other fans on here? What are your thoughts?

      Just release the originals, then F**k off.
      1-3 was bad enough. Now a real Disney version.
      Was just getting used to Clone Wars.

      Lucas was already raping the franchise for everything he could get, it makes little difference who is doing it now, they're never going to be anything like the originals:

      Honestly, not worried. Lucas not having complete control of the franchise anymore is not a bad thing. He was milking it anyways, having some other professional heads involved as they do another trilogy may not be a bad thing. I'm excited and skeptical at the same time.

      Look at Marvel post-Disney buyout. Avengers was alright wasn't it?

      Avengers was good.
      Rolling out a separate movie for every character, not so much.

      Loved the originals (ESB is probably one of my top 3 of all time) but the prequels were mostly sh*te apart from a couple of scenes / sequences.

      I dont hold any hope of these being any better!

      Get ready for Jabba the Pooh and the like ;-)

      I could see Mark Hamill coming back as a mentor....like alec guiness in the original. I could also see him self sacrificing as Obi-wan did in ANH to protect the 'new' new hope if you get me which could be his offspring or Han and Leia's.

      I can imagine Han and Leia's son piloting a still falling to bits Millennium Falcon with Chewie....wookies live for over a 100 years you know!!! Im sure C3-PO, R2-D2 will appear. If they could get Ford, Fisher and hamill to return but not as leading characters I think it will make for a good transition into the new characters!

      Storyline wise I could see Episode VII being about renegade Jedi learning 'The Dark Side' and thus the sith being re-born.

      I want less is more when it comes to CGI. I want more on location shooting. I want Disney to stick to what made Star Wars Star Wars.

      I am really looking forward to it....but nothing will beat the originals!

      I suppose I will watch any further movies out of sheer curiosity but will expect them to suck.
