Additionally she will serve as the brand manager for Star Wars, working directly with Disney’s global lines of business to build, further integrate, and maximize the value of this global franchise.

That's sure to lead to some great stories!
 
I genuinely will be amused if it's worse or better than the prequels. Because hell, if it's worse, that's impressive on a whole other level. I don't know how involved Lucas will be either, considering his earlier stance on Episode 7.

Also, fucking really at Christopher Nolan? That's just what we need, an uber realistic Star Wars!

The problem is that I expect it to skew even more kid-friendly than the prequels.

If they surprise me and make it more all-ages appealing a la Avengers, it could be a good thing.

But, yeah... kiss the EU goodbye. That's all non-canon now.

Although what they should really do is just say screw it and do Knights of the Old Republic (the setting, not the game... although the game's plot wouldn't be the worst thing in the world).

So Lucas definitley isn't directing this? Could be good. I mean, Star Wars is such a fucking huge cultural touchstone... but I'm so fucking done with Lucas' bullshit.
 
why is this bad news? as long as George is not to much involved without having someone to tell him what is good and what is not this could be pretty awesome.

Just think about it, if we get a gritty back to basics star wars film with a great director on it this could very well be awesome.

I would like to see a more dark side to the story, not so much focus on kicking the emperials ass but more focus on a side story within the star wars universe.

Lasseter: FUCK, Carter bombed!
Iger: and Narnia is dead. Our attempts at a fantasy franchise are gone, John.
Lasseter: Maybe we should just buy Star Wars. hahaha
Iger: ....hm.
Lasseter: hahahaha...wait...what?
Iger: get my lawyer...

I wouldn't be surprised if they Avatar'd up some younger-looking digital doubles for the main cast from the original trilogy.

Ms. Kennedy will serve as executive producer on new Star Wars feature films, with George Lucas serving as creative consultant. Star Wars Episode 7 is targeted for release in 2015, with more feature films expected to continue the Star Wars saga and grow the franchise well into the future.

welp

I think we should hold out for more details about the plot before thinking this will definitely suck.
 
Jeebus, Avengers 2 and new Star Wars in 2015- both owned by Disney. How long before the universes cross in the books or on screen I wonder?

I don't think anybody is ever going to touch that time period ever again after Old Republic flopped. I'd be genuinely happy to be wrong though.

Narnia just wasn't profitable ENOUGH for them. They were expecting LotR and Harry Potter box office levels and only got back modest returns.

I am unable to process this information.

In all fairness it's not like they could make it any worse, so sure why not? Also I don't see how they're going to do Zahn or any of this other EU stuff people are posting; they would have to completely re-cast all of the actors, which I don't see happening.
 
Lucas: You are so... beautiful.
Money: It's only because I'm so in love.
Lucas: No, it's because I'm so in love with you.
Money: So love has blinded you?
Lucas: [laughs] Well, that's not exactly what I meant.
Money: But it's probably true.
