Hope Episode 7 is about what happened to Jar Jar Binks.

Mesa fink dis is a greet idea!

 

[Sidewinder]

Star Wars 7? This could be the start of something amazing, good news IMO.

 

[Darklord]

OK this seems like a joke now. I'm not believe it until I read it on Disneys own PR page.

Have you seen the Pirates movies?

 

[Empyrean Heaven]

In before "Well, I guess George is adding Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck to the cantina scene now"

 

[Omegasquash]

Please, please, please turn Epcot into the Death Star.

 

[superpickleman]

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.

What

 

[NYR]

lol, can't believe I called Episode VII on page 1 before there was any news. Obvious choice.

 

[bengraven]

Henson.
Marvel.
Lucasfilm.



Why is Disney buying my childhood?

Pixar's Star Wars

This may be the only light side to this story.

 

[Bread]

Is George Lucas okay? Why is he selling it?

there are 4 billion reasons for him to sell

 

[MormaPope]

Holy fuck guys, STAR WARS THEMED SHIT COULD BE AT DISNEY WORLD NOW!

I want to pod race and go on the Millennium Falcon and shit.

 

[Shig]

Good move. I trust Star Wars a lot more in the hands of Lasseter than I do in the hands of Lucas.

Holy fuck guys, STAR WARS THEMED SHIT COULD BE AT DISNEY WORLD NOW!

I want to pod race and go on the Millennium Falcon and shit.

Star Tours has been at Disney World for ages...

 

[Sgt.Pepper]

When will Disney buy Sega

 

[Darklord]

Johnny Depp has Han Solo. Calling it.

 

[el retorno]

It's not, here's another site reporting the press release.

http://www.4-traders.com/THE-WALT-D...any-Disney-to-Acquire-Lucasfilm-Ltd-15445015/

The converence call they mention is on Disney's site. They def. have Lucas Arts but IDK about star wars.

How did this not leak?

 

[Big Baybee]

Disney now has Marvel and Star Wars. Holy shit I love it.

 

[Hydrogen Bluebird]

Disney buying Lucasfilm makes me think that Star Wars worlds/characters will make an appearance in the Kingdom Hearts games.

 

[scarybore]

Wow, this is pretty nuts. I wonder if Disney will be more receptive to releasing the original Star Wars films without the questionable content added by Lucas for the special editions.

 

[ZedIndyLil]

Investor conf call in 25 minutes, so I guess we'll know more (and get some confirmation) then.

 

[Tacitus_]

Episode 7?
Shieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet

(please have Thrawn in it)

 

[Parallax]

whoaaaaaaaaaaaaa

disney, do the right thing

make battlefront 3

disney please listen to this man.

Holy fuck guys, STAR WARS THEMED SHIT COULD BE AT DISNEY WORLD NOW!

I want to pod race and go on the Millennium Falcon and shit.

holy shit, you got me. i almost responded seriously

 

[Galang]

Didn't expect that!

 

[UnblessedSoul]

I need some time to take this all in, is this good or bad?

 

[alr1ght]

This is pretty big.

Now release the original star wars!

 

[Warm Machine]

Does 4 Billion not sound kind of cheap?

 

[lupinko]

Does this mean Marvel can use ILM for IM3?

 

[DrForester]

Henson.
Marvel.
Lucasfilm.



Why is Disney buying my childhood?

They've done good with muppets, they've done good with marvel.

Buy away Disney!

 

[victreeb3l]

marvel and star wars...damn

disney is beasting now

 

[Father_Brain]

No mention of Indiana Jones in the press release. I assume Paramount owns that IP?

 

[kittens]

Holy shit!

 

[el retorno]

Holy fuck guys, STAR WARS THEMED SHIT COULD BE AT DISNEY WORLD NOW!

I want to pod race and go on the Millennium Falcon and shit.

Um. it already is. Star Tours. They have Indiana Jones stuff too.

 

[FoneBone]

Jesus, the press release doesn't even mention Indiana Jones at all.

 

[GitarooMan]

Holy fuck guys, STAR WARS THEMED SHIT COULD BE AT DISNEY WORLD NOW!

I want to pod race and go on the Millennium Falcon and shit.

Not sure if serious.

 

[Big Baybee]

They've done good with muppets, they've done good with marvel.

Buy away Disney!

Yep. I'm totally down with this.

 

[TheKaeptain]

Original trilogy theatrical cut BluRays incoming.

Yep. No way Disney won't do it.

 

[Green Embers]

Episode 7: Snow White and the Seven Jawas

 

[bengraven]

Wait, this Star Wars 7 is a joke. Isn't it? Why is Deadline reporting it too?

 

[DR3AM]

What about LucasArts?

 

[KevinCow]

Get the guys behind the Clone Wars show to make Episode VII. Keep George Lucas away. That is how you make it good and redeem the franchise.

 

[DrForester]

Is George Lucas okay? Why is he selling it?

Lucas hates Star Wars, and the fans.

 

[Somnid]

Only worth 4 Instagrams.

 

[Guevara]

$4 Billion for Star Wars alone is a bargain, no?

 

[Rocket Scientist]

Holy fuck guys, STAR WARS THEMED SHIT COULD BE AT DISNEY WORLD NOW!

I want to pod race and go on the Millennium Falcon and shit.

That sounds incredible.

 

[Anth0ny]

Not a single fuck given if Lucas is involved in episode VII.

And he'll be involved until the day he dies.

 

[blahness]

Holy fuck guys, STAR WARS THEMED SHIT COULD BE AT DISNEY WORLD NOW!

I want to pod race and go on the Millennium Falcon and shit.

Star Tours has been there for years... but yeah anything better than the crap they have now is welcome!

[SteveWinwood]

What

Well it'll probably be better under Disney anyway.

Wait this doesn't include the game studio does it?

 

[NYR]

Only worth 4 Instagrams.

Oh snap.

 

[Sgt.Pepper]

This can explain the big amount of Stars Wars merchandise I saw at Disney Paris.

 

[Cat Party]

Does 4 Billion not sound kind of cheap?

That's like four instagrams.

EDIT:

Beaten like Facebook's stock price.

 

[C.Dark.DN]

WE WON

THE FANS WON

BAH GAWD
