Disney has acquired Lucasfilms and intends to create a new Star Wars movie that will release in 2015. "For the past 35 years, one of my greatest pleasures has been to see Star Wars passed from one generation to the next,” Lucasfilm CEO George Lucas said in a statement. “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. I’m confident that with Lucasfilm under the leadership of Kathleen Kennedy, and having a new home within the Disney organization, Star Wars will certainly live on and flourish for many generations to come. "Disney’s reach and experience give Lucasfilm the opportunity to blaze new trails in film, television, interactive media, theme parks, live entertainment, and consumer products." Yup.

This also means there could be Star Wars DLC. Disney owns Pixar and Marvel, so we got DLC for both...now, Star Wars. There's obviously a lot more that could come from this partnership but that's the immediate thing that relates to LBP.

So considering the technology got worse between the clone wars and the original trilogy (e.g they went from flying tanks and giant multi wheeled APCs that could destroy whole droid armies to walkers that would get destroyed by Ewoks) I wonder if the trend will continue... =p There used to be some good games about how luke tried to re-establish the jedi order and it had some planet with a magical force giving stream thing that the dark side used to create an army... think it was called jedi outcast. Harrison ford could reprise his old role to show a time difference, kinda like Ian Mcdiarmid played the emperor in both trilogies XD

Maybe they'll adapt the Thrawn trilogy? Then again, considering everyone is now, well, old... Maybe it'll be many years after... or something?

They also got the games. So long as they don't create anything like Star Wars Kinect, I'll be happy. Though Angry Birds isn't helping... Hopefully they get Force Unleashed III going, LBP dlc would be legen- wait for it... As far as Ep 7 is concerned, the film itself may be good. I mean look at the recent Marvel films *cough* Avengers Assemble *cough*. My question is, when will it be set? There is so much literature following on from the films that it'd have to be set 44 years ABY (After Battle of Yavin) to get out of the expanded universe (Excluding stuff 100s of years later). Unless of course they set it during these novels but that's unlikely since the plots would be known. At least in greater detail than the prequels. All we knew for them was that Anakin becomes Vader, Clone Wars happen and nearly every Jedi dies. Or they retcon the Expanded universe which would certainly 'annoy' fans. -dary.

Sony tends to get Disney DLC when the specific movie is relesed, quastion is if Sony partnership with Disney for DLC will survive those 3 years to that "being talked about" movie came out.

https://thewaltdisneycompany.com/blog/disney-acquire-lucasfilm With this many characters to develop and stories to tell, Disney plans to release a new Star Wars feature film every two or three years for the foreseeable future. Huh

Huh With a 4 billion cost to acquire, Disney plans to milk Star Wars until it makes the money back.

With a 4 billion cost to acquire, Disney plans to milk Star Wars until it makes the money back. Yeah, I know. Maybe they're planning to make this into another Marvel Cinematic Universe. Like each movie could be self contained, but telling various parts of a larger story, and not so much the singular storyline. I unno

Good. Maybe the IP will get better if they take control of the movies off of Lucas' hands. That man just doesn't know when to stop. There used to be some good games about how luke tried to re-establish the jedi order and it had some planet with a magical force giving stream thing that the dark side used to create an army... think it was called jedi outcast. Yup. One of my favorite games of all time, and the best Star Wars game besides KOTOR. It'd be cool if they included Kyle Katarn in this new movie. He's such a good character.

Star Wars will now undoubtedly be cross-promoted, sold, and marketed shamelessly in every consumer channel Disney can find. Put another way, the Star Wars IP stands to gain some of its dignity back. I have a bad feeling about this...Dom wins the thread. (Oh come on people, I'm the first 'Thanks!' for that?? IT'S GENIUS.)

Hey? Hey, guys? Chill (http://www.sabotagetimes.com/reportage/stars-wars-episode-7-hey-internet-chill-out-for-a-moment/). Yes, I completely agree. At first, we thought Disney is going to mess up Marvel. But the crossover turned out very well since Marvel is still in its originality. One of the great examples of the Disney/Marvel success is that "The Avengers" scored a huge box-office record and has a lot of great reviews. I'm sure Disney will do great working with Lucasfilms, just as long as they find a right director who can write stories and knows the original "Star Wars" movies really well.

Speaking of video games, how could this affect Kingdom Hearts. A keyblade lightsaber anyone? I don't know whether I'd be happy about that or not, which basically sums up how I feel about this whole thing. For people who feel Lucas was destroying the series, there's nothing to lose, but for me, it can just as easily be terrible as a good revival.

Exactly what I was thinking, and it might be the best thing to adapt if they are going to draw from the expanded universe rather then do something entirely new. And they could always just hire new actors to play the iconic roles.

I'd like to see a Star Wars Episode 7, but I don't see it happening. The rebels defeated all the evil in the galaxy, so not what? What new enemy could there possibly be?

Did the rebels really defeat all the evil? They destroyed the second death star, the emperor and vader are dead. But in an empire that big there's still going to be people high up the chain of command and in control of significant resources. You've got a potential fracturing of the empire into smaller groups and possibly a galactic war as they fight over the best teritory.

This is actually mostly true of what happens in the expanded universe novels and comics. Even though the Rebellion did deal the Empire a decapitating blow the galaxy is a big place and there was always a few more factions and remnants that rose time and again (this is actually what sets the aforementioned Thrawn Trilogy in motion) and after that things just got crazier and crazier with EU material. If nothing else, I just hope Disney avoids the more...ignoble expanded universe stories.

No one in their right mind would hand Star Wars over to Michael Bay. Could you imagine? He'd find a way to include the US army in the movie somehow and focus 90% of the action scenes on them instead of the actual heroes. And two thirds of the movie would consist of unfunny humor and cringeworthy romance. Now what Abrams needs to do is ditch the clean and shiny feel of Stark Trek and Star Wars' prequel trilogy. Return to the grimy, rusty, worn out visual style from the original movies.

I'm surprised to hear that J.J. Abrams is chosen to direct episode VII. He did a great job on the "Star Trek" prequel, so that means he will do well in the next Star Wars movie. Also, the writer of "Toy Story 3" and the story planner of "Empire Strikes Back" and "Return of the Jedi" will help Abrams make a new Star Wars movie a huge success. May the force be with him.

A film centered around Boba Fett? That's a terrible idea. There's no way to make him likeable or sympathetic without losing his coolness factor. To retain his awesomeness from the original trilogy he must be the unlikeable villain. The guy everyone thinks is cool but whose agenda they could never support. And he's got to remain mysterious as well. He's one of those characters where less is more. Revealing more of his story would ruin that. That's why I don't touch the "extended universe" stuff with a ten-foot pole, awesome videogames excluded. The kind of movie wherein the true, bad *** Boba Fett could work as a protagonist isn't the kind of movie I see Disney or Lucasfilm producing. They'd probably turn him into a likeable, misunderstood anti-hero that only hunts bad guys. The Star Wars fandom somehow survived the endless remastered editions, the prequel trilogy, Jar Jar, the Force Unleashed games, the extended universe BS... it wouldn't be able to survive a family-friendly Boba Fett. It just wouldn't.

I'm looking forward to the Boba Fett one, he can easily be a badass whilst being the protagonist. There's been several EU stories like this. For example there's one where he's hired to kill a deserter of the clone wars that Jango was supposed to have killed. Turns out to be a clone (when Jango found out he offered the clone some money to help his family). Boba takes the clone to the client alive, who tells him the clone will be killed for failing to pay off his loan. Fett offers to pay the guy in the clone's place. The client refuses. The clone finds a single credit in his pocket and calls for a bounty on the client's head for 1 credit. The client laughs, Boba accepts. Badassery ensues. In another, he goes head to head against Vader and lives. But Vader deflected a bolt back at Fett, leaving 'that' dent in his helmet. Young Han could be great, particularly if they tell the story of how he met Chewbacca. That'd be cool. I'm a little worried about the Yoda one. Mainly because they may give him some backstor. Having a mysterious past? that's kind of Yoda's thing. And what was wrong with Force Unleashed?

See, that's exactly what I'm talking about. They turn him into a likeable anti-hero when he's supposed to be a despicable mercenary. That Boba has nothing to do with the cold, calculating, uncaring Boba we see in the original trilogy. This is why Lucas and 99% of the Extended Universe ruin effing everything. They'd probably come up with a sympathetic reason to excuse his hunting of Han Solo, like Jabba having one of his friends hostage or something like that. Force Unleashed 1 was kinda cool at best, mediocre at worst. Force Unleashed 2 was a total crapfest.

I see your point, but personally I don't mind a likeable Fett. Force unleashed 2 was ok I'll admit but mainly because of the cliffhanger and repetitive enemies. The first was great and fit in with the films brilliantly. But back to the Ep7 talk, You reckon there will be a Star Trek easter egg?

You know, I think I actually know what the Boba Fett movie is going to be about... I can't believe I remember it but back when I was 13 or something I saw this Star Wars comic that featured Boba Fett and it told the story of what happened between the time that Fett got the carbonite-frozen Han Solo from Darth Vader near the end of Empire Strikes Back and handing him over to Jabba the Hutt before Return of the Jedi. Don't remember the details but along the way Fett came into conflict with nearly all the other bounty hunters that the empire hired over who would get to deliver Han to Jabba and get the reward. Certainly sounds like what that article was pitching right? Though honestly, I don't even remember how good the comic was, much less if it has the chops to be adapted to a full-length film...
