[Sneaky Gato]

The fuck? Does this mean we'll go in to the EU? Or will they ignore it? Because that sounds like a cluster fuck either way.

 

[SpudBud]

What the hell just happened. Is this real life?

 

[theignoramus]

star wars universe has mad material to play with. no judgement from me on this till I see whose on board.

 

[Nuklear]

with George Lucas serving as creative consultant.

Going to be shit. George needs to be kept away from this movie at all costs.

 

[JordanLMiller]

looking forward to the plinkett reviews.

oh god yes!!

 

[TheKaeptain]

HOLY SHIT COUNT WAS FUCKING RIGHT!

 

[mattiewheels]

Keep George away from the director's (and producer's) chair and we'll be good. Just let him write the basic outline and name some new characters, that's it.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

Joseph Gordon-Levitt as Luke Skywalker.
Jessica Alba as Princess Leia.
Shia Lebouf as Han Solo.

 

[KlotePino]

HOLYYYYY FUCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK they can't be serious about ruining the star wars universe and legacy as it already is?

 

[TreIII]

Please go with the Timothy Zahn trilogy..

Don't I wish...

But honestly? I wouldn't mind if they went far into the future and as far away from the setting of the original films as much as possible. Luke, Vader and them have been done to death.

 

[Big Baybee]

Disney is beasting.

 

[Count Dookkake]

HOLY SHIT COUNT WAS FUCKING RIGHT!

To be fair, I was off by a year or two.

 

[Shredding.Bullets]

So three horrendous movies weren't enough to degrade the Star Wars name?

 

[Yen]

Oh God, I'm going to be sick

(Although I'd be massively hyped if a competent writer and director get involved)

 

[RatskyWatsky]

Who the fuck is screeninsider and why are they the only ones reporting on this?

 

[TheBioLover]

George isn't seriously involved so it could....maybe.....kinda...be good.

 

[lethial]

I don't know about you guys but I am so looking forward to the nerd rage and tears.

 

[Lijik]

so, is this gonna be disney's avengers/justice league?

I thought the Avengers was already Disney's equivalent to the Avengers.

 

[DopeyFish]

So three horrendous movies weren't enough to degrade the Star Wars name?

But no Lucas!

 

[Jex]

Can't get any worse, right?

 

[grumpy]

At least we know for a fact that it will not be worse than eps 1 2 & 3.

 

[-Eddman-]

Remake episodes I-III first please.

 

[Ainaurdur]

Is this real?

.

Also, tell me it is not real.

 

[bud]

please let lucas write and direct this impending disaster.

 

[Aurongel]

I don't think this is a bad thing at all, by 2015 it will have been the better part of a decade since the second trilogy concluded. With some new leadership and creative talent I could definitely see Star Wars having a decent shot at redemption here.

 

[opticalmace]

Please be good please be good please be good please be good

 

[Joe Shlabotnik]

Who the fuck is screeninsider and why are they the only ones reporting on this?

[IamMattFox]

It had to happen sooner or later, right?

I'm down for more Star Wars.

Edit:

The new Star Wars film. A Disney acquisition is kind of out of left field.

 

[slit]

So three horrendous movies weren't enough to degrade the Star Wars name?

Well, it's already ruined so why stop now?

 

[Orayn]

Consulting the DPDI, Doom Paul Disaster Index.

 

[mxgt]

I'm now aware that there will soon be more shit star wars movies than good ones.

 

[ScreenSplitter]

I feel like i'm in an alternative world.

People are pretending this is a bad thing for the Franchise...

and lucas was a good thing, for the franchise?

weird.

I doubt anybody's pretending this is a bad thing. I actually feel like challenging Disney to make Star Wars any worse.

Unbearably "kiddy" nonsense? Been done.
Ridiculous fucking with canon? Oh boy, has it been done.

Outside of redoing the original trilogy as a musical, or the sequels being Marvel style "What Ifs?" where Anakin didn't turn evil, and to be honest even that can't be worse then THE COARSENESS OF SAND AND THE ANGELS OF LEGO LUCAS I WILL DESTROY YOU.

I meant the episode 7 thing.

 

[-Plasma Reus-]

WHAT THE FUCK

 

[Majine]

I felt so content with this being a joke for so many years. Now that it's real, I'm speechless.

 

[dmr87]

 

[ledman]

Who the fuck was expecting this?

 

[jyoung188]

What the fuck?!?!?

 

[eznark]

So three horrendous movies weren't enough to degrade the Star Wars name?

 

[Jack Scofield]

Hahah, I love how this'll negate the terrible extended universe bullshit that fans hold so dear.

I'm on board just for that.

 

[clav]

 

[Insane Dead]

I am not sure If I should be excited for this or not. I really hope it turns out to be good though.

 

[legacyzero]

Give it to christopher nolan.

 

[Neo Child]

whats with the 'oh nooooes'

more films can only be good? if you dont like them then its not like youve lost anything, you still have the old ones sheeesh

 

[TheBioLover]

It better fucking be called "Star Wars: Episode VII: REVENGEANCE"

 

[Demoncarnotaur]

Well holy shit.

This could be awesome if done right, and now that George Lucas would be seemingly less involved..

I wonder who is planned to direct?

-----


Keep in mind she has also said Jurassic Park 4 and Indiana Jones 5 will happen, and those two seem to be stuck in development hell.

 

[Brinbe]

wat

 

[Acid08]

Give it to christopher nolan.

Fuck no, keep that fucking dude the hell away from anything Star Wars.

 

[Hindle]

Could be cool if it's got nothing to do ith what's come before. If its Luke again ugh seriously that barrel has been scraped dry.

 

[ScreenSplitter]

Hahah, I love how this'll negate the terrible extended universe bullshit that fans hold so dear.

I'm on board just for that.

Palpatine clones and trashing Lukes character. EVERYWHERE.
