I do not know how to take this. It is just opening so much up, but I fear for Star Wars. But then excited for Episode 7.

They are really forcing it.
Wow. Just...... Wow.
BAH..all set... cant think of 2 things that i despise more...i used to be a star wars fan..but now i can even get threw any of them (including the original 2) with out fall asleep or just being annoyed..
No way...Lucas give up his baby? I just don't see it. And an Episode 7? Unless it's set in the far future of Star Wars I just don't see how it would work.
Staring Johnny Depp as Captain Jack Solo and Orlando Bloom wearing another bad wig as yet another whiny Skywalker :sklol:
It is Disney, that train wreck could happen.
Ugh... the rumors are true. RIP Star Wars - 1977 - 2012
With the live-action TV series dead in the water, Lucas did say he was retiring from Star Wars.Quote:

And will Disney work in all of the novels and everything into a cohesive storyline?? So much to wonder about.

This is the best news I've ever heard. Get Star Wars away from Lucas, who clearly can't produce anything good himself.
I wonder what this does for the TV show?
Oh great. As if episode 1,2 & 3 weren't bad enough. I'm not against expanding the universe... I'm against weak story telling, unimaginative plots & horrible acting.
I cannot wait for the internet to explode with nerd rage once released. It'll be a better show than the movie!
It can't possibly be any worse than endless "special editions" butchering the OT and endless amounts of Expanded Universe tripe.
Holy Crap, I don't know any other way to put it.

I agree. Maybe in someone else's hands it can be great again. If it goes bad, it's already kinda jumped the shark or nuked the fridge or whatever, so it's not like there's a whole lot to lose.Quote:

I really didn't think this would ever happen :(
I just saw this elsewhere and I thought someone was pulling a prank. Guess not! Lucasfilm and Disney have had a relationship already as Disney has Star Tours in their parks, so this makes sense from that perspective. Where Disney will take it will be quite interesting. I have to wonder where an Episode VII will fit!
The world has ended.
Oh no, now Star Wars is going to go down the crapper! I mean, what did Disney do with Marvel? The Avengers? Oh... oh yeah. :hmwink::hmtung:
Lucas made 6 Star Wars movies and only 2 1/2 of them were good. This might end up being a good thing.
What the Force?!?!
I dunno, this could go either way. Both for the live action films and the Clone Wars. With Disney at the helm maybe Ahsoka's future has a better chance for happiness. (I really hope she survives the series)
George Lucas:
See, I've been telling people all along that Lucas isn't some kind of money-hungry megalomaniac. Save that title for Rupert Murdoch. Of course, seeing this statement still won't stop a lot of people from believing Lucas to be the Devil Incarnate. Some of the comments in this thread astound me.Quote:
"It's now time for me to pass Star Wars on to a new generation of filmmakers. I've always believed that Star Wars could live beyond me, and I thought it was important to set up the transition during my lifetime.
Anyway, sadly, we can kiss goodbye to the EU. At least everything that takes place after ROTJ.
That is a GREAT thing if it happens.Quote:
