I can't believe this. I knew they'd have to make more movies at some point, but I never thought Lucas would sell everything. The possibilities are endless. LucasArts, Industrial Light and Magic, Skywalker Sound all of that stuff is under the Lucasfilm umbrella. Disney owns all of that now.
at protecting the brand from a tarnished legacy. Lucas managed to do that on his own. He should forever be grateful that FOX thought the franchise would fail and gave him full royalties to merchandise.
your right, it was mentioned, but I wouldve thought they wouldve made more of a deal about it. You have a top notch studio with a huge back library. Imagine seeing a Monkey Island kids movie plus this means that Disney itself can start putting out some great games, since they have a studio in house
Few questions Does Lucas direct the new films? And would y'all be interested to see Solo, Luke, or Liea cameo some way in the new film?
No Lucas, and they will recast Luke, Han and Leia. Diff time, diff generation, they could move ahead where they are all old and actually use the same people, Harrison Ford, etc, but no one wants to see them in their 70's, unless it's a Kenobi type usage. I'm guessing they will simply have to recast them and move ahead after Jedi 5 years or so, my guess, we see Thrawn's storyline play out, which will be UNBELIEVABLE.
I've always been interested to see a film involving Jacen, Jaina and Anakin Solo. Ben too I dont follow it heavy, but the length the Star Wars timeline goes is intriguing as hell I
The franchise was already ruined with the last 3 episodes. Maybe Disney can improve and make some better flicks but I'm not all that interested yet. I do hope they James Bond Indiana Jones. Let Ford retire and find somebody new to be Indy so we can keep getting some of the best action adventure history based archaeological mystery movies out there.
While the PT didn't live up to the standards of OT, Star Wars is probably bigger than ever nowadays. That Clone Wars show is pretty good and Celebration VI last month was a zoo. All 6 episodes of the saga already have their place in history and to me, more Star Wars movies, the better.
Read the books. Heir to the Empire. Start right there. Then call me back. You'll be interested IMMEDIATELY.
