You heard it folks, this could either go horribly wrong or pretty good. Turned out well for Marvel right?

QuoteDisney, which already owns brands such as Pixar, Marvel, ESPN and ABC, announced it is paying $4.05bn for the production company.

It confirmed it is making Star Wars Episode 7, which is scheduled to be released in 2015.

Kathleen Kennedy, the current co-chairman of Lucasfilm, will become its president and will report to Walt Disney Studios Chairman Alan Horn.

Lucas will be creative consultant on new Star Wars films.

"It's now time for me to pass 'Star Wars' on to a new generation of filmmakers," he said after the deal was announced.

It's not April Fools yet....
I was hoping for star wars to go a bit 'grittier' not this but I'll remain optimistic.
I play less now but I'll always be around, lets keep this site and battlefront going. :)

Yeah...
I don't think this bodes well for Star Wars.
But how much worse can it possibly get?

-edit
Good for Mr Lucas, though.
He made an amazing thing and deserves the tremendous payout.

I'm just not comfortable with Disney(or anyone) putting together the Galaxy after Endor.

Considering what the expanded Universe actually looks like I do not look forward to film adaptions of that material.

Here's some wacky things that happened in the novels, comics etc that took place after Endor:

.The Emperor Was Cloned
.Luke Was Never The Last Of The Jedi (turns out there was bloody loads of them all over the gaff)
.Luke Turns to the Dark Side
.Boba Fett escapes the Salaac Pit multiple times
.Chewbacca gets killed attempting to physically hold a moon up from a planet........
.Magic
.Yuuzhan Vong

lololol
i have to admit im sorta worried about this movie too. I have heard a lot of "after endor" stories too, and several dont sound to promiseing. Also when is this move taking place? are they going to be using the same characters left off in E6?

I wonder if they'll stick to the timeline from the books (I hope so, they're good :)). I had to laugh just now when my brother came in and said; 'have you heard the Star Wars news?' followed by 'is it a joke?'

Just wrong, just terrible. At least set the canon right please no Resurected Emperor. I mean come on that completely screws over the movies. They screwed up with what they let be called canon with the books and everything.
