im scared to death of who is writing/directing this...what fucking storyline are we going to see...

im out

he wanted to protect it by selling it to disney. PROTECT IT BY TAKING IT TO YOUR GRAVE

You can't take these things to your grave anymore (*). After he died LucasFilm would continue existing and there's nothing he could really do about that other than sell it.

(*) Incidentally, you have Disney to thank for a big part of this. Watch for the next copyright extension act, lobbied for by Disney et. al., around the same time Episode 8 comes out!

 

[The Elite]

this sounds like a direct sequel to Return of the Jedi right? I mean they are calling it Episode 7. In that Lucas interview he even says that he wrote the 1-9 long ago and they are using some of that as a base.

EXCITE!

I wish they would use the Thrawn trilogy as a base but I don't think that's going to happen.

 

[Manmademan]

I think anyone hoping for a mature, dark Star Wars is misguided. This is Disney after all and they want to make sure it is a huge franchise. I am just hoping for something better than the prequels.

Not looking for mature or Dark- just not terrible.

Lucas actively went and made the OG star wars films WORSE by editing things out, and inserting new scenes with horrible CG where it wasn't needed- then refusing to release the originals in any form.

on TOP of that, the man can't write. His movies- all of them- have some of the worst dialogue known to man. Get a director, ANY director, that isn't a complete hack and has some imagination and you can get some amazing films out of this franchise.

I've still got this Vanity Fair issue stored somewhere that was released prior to Episode III:

If it wasn't for the fact that Jar Jar is RIGHT IN THE CENTER OF THE DAMN PHOTO, it would be pretty awesome.

 

[EliCash]

The only good thing that could come from Nolan Star Wars (I can't even believe this sentence is happening) is that he would take it back to practical effects.

I wonder who would be a good fit to write / direct.

 

[Jokergrin]

So within the next 3 years I'll be seeing a new Mad Max film, Arnold as Conan and Star Wars Episode VII?

is this real life

 

[Order]

Holy shit no way

 

[MiamiWesker]

lol.....a lot of people here acting like they're not gonna see this day 1.

I'm already in line.

 

[Manmademan]

OH SHIT DOES THIS MEAN WE GET STAR WARS IN KINGDOM HEARTS NOW

 

[JetBlackPanda]

I'm already in line.

this got me.

 

[SCULLIBUNDO]

I swear it's like Nolan and Blomkamp are the only two directors that most of GAF have ever heard of.

 

[Error]

Why would Nolan waste his time on this?

 

[Jackben]

I've still got this Vanity Fair issue stored somewhere that was released prior to Episode III:

Yep, my bad. But someone posted that literally a few posts above yours and I responded to it.

Work portfolio doesn't equal personal preference I guess? My bad. Everything I have heard or read about Fisher and especially Ford being interviewed about Star Wars suggested they had deep seated issues about it that really soured them on the original experience. Like ScreenSplitter said though, money heals all wounds I guess.

I was wrong, let's move on from the dogpiling if that's okay.

 

[robertsan21]

well I for one does NOT want to see the old cast again.

Bring in some new characters and make a whole new trilogy within the star wars mythos.
Make it dark and awesome for us adults.

 

[The Elite]

OH SHIT DOES THIS MEAN WE GET STAR WARS IN KINGDOM HEARTS NOW

Well, there have been no Marvel characters in KH.

 

[ScreenSplitter]

OH SHIT DOES THIS MEAN WE GET STAR WARS IN KINGDOM HEARTS NOW

The way things are currently, we'll see Episode 9 long before KH3.

 

[Regulus Tera]

At times like this I'm glad I don't even like Star Wars.

 

[ari]

kevin smith or peter jackson is my instant nominees for directing this. seriously.

 

[JetBlackPanda]

what the fuck does this even mean?

thanks for your input in a Star Wars thread.

 

[ChosenPredator]

Capcom Vs Disney - world explodes

 

[jtb]

I swear it's like Nolan and Blomkamp are the only two directors that most of GAF have ever heard of.

Whedon too.

All three would be horrible fits for this either way.

 

[lastplayed]

If it wasn't for the fact that Jar Jar is RIGHT IN THE CENTER OF THE DAMN PHOTO, it would be pretty awesome.

It's like Lucas' ultimate troll.

lol, surely the guy you'd want to hand a multi billion dollar franchise...

 

[EliCash]

Whedon too.

Yip. Just be glad it'll never happen.

 

[BocoDragon]

At times like this I'm glad I don't even like Star Wars.

If you did, you might realize that we actually consider this good news for the franchise.

 

[ScreenSplitter]

Well maybe that's enough then. It won't have George Lucas attached, it'll be a completely different team. Not to mention that they'd hardly have to put as much effort into stunts & the like with greenscreen/CGI.

 

[The Elite]

Or make it for the whole family like the original trilogy. It doesn't have to be "dark" to be good.

 

[Manmademan]

Well, there have been no Marvel characters in KH.

The marvel buy was 3 years after Kingdom hearts 2.

i haven't kept tabs on the portable releases and what worlds are and are not in there, but it's only a matter of time before marvel shows up in the KH franchise.

 

[ari]

joss wheadon

 

[ChosenPredator]

now now Peter Jackson or Guillermo del toro <---which would be a thousand times better

 

[JetBlackPanda]

THIS.

I want my daughter to have her own trilogy to grow up on

 

[Data West]

Come on, bro. New Muppets movie too.

 

[The Elite]

kevin smith or peter jackson is my instant nominees for directing this. seriously.

For some crazy reason I want Kevin Smith to get a shot.

 

[Manmademan]

kevin smith or peter jackson is my instant nominees for directing this. seriously.

Are you high? Brad Bird, son

edit: yeah, beaten to Del Toro. i think he would be fantastic (I loved hellboy 2, FWIW) and I'm hyped for Pacific Rim. If that does well and he shows he can bring in the dollars, I think he might have a shot.

 

[Snowden's Secret]

So Disney... owns Disney, Marvel, and Lucas? Are there anti-monopoly laws against IP?

This only because of the Jay and Silent Bob cameo.

Protect what?
HE is the one who damaged it and made fans hate him and the material.

It's not a monopoly, it's just that they have the most nerd cred.

As fucking Stormtroopers.

 

[maniac-kun]

Since George set the bar pretty low with Episode 1-3 and he is not involved in this. It can only get better!

 

[ScreenSplitter]

i haven't kept tabs on the portable releases and what worlds are and are not in there, but it's only a matter of time before marvel shows up in the KH franchise.

They've shown no interest so far in KH3D, but that's just one game. They haven't even touched Pixar yet, and whilst Tron and Pirates are pretty far removed from what I thought they'd do with KH, Marvel is a whole other level.

 

[Dominican Power]

Are there post ep 6 stories?

 

[B-Dubs]

This only because of the Jay and Silent Bob cameo.

That would be so great.

 

[buhdeh]

Disney All Stars vs. Capcom

 

[Future PhaZe]

I don't give a fuck how bad the prequels were...I'm really goddamned excited about this.
