Support NeoGAF

[Nirolak]

I was wondering when this would eventually happen.

There was far too much money on the table to stop.

 

[Alucrid]

I blame the hurricane.

 

[Majmun]

HOLY SHIT CAN'T WAIT

 

[Arc]

We need to stop this. GAF we can stop this from happening if we work together!

 

[Count Dookkake]

Will there be a crow thread?

 

[Pinzer]

Johnny Depp anyone?

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

Like, how? Bring the old cast back and have them train new Jedi?

 

[scar tissue]

 

[GCX]

I wonder who'll be the director. That's a bit risky job.

 

[jaxword]

This is actually old news, people just forgot that Lucas said there'd be more Star Wars films after 3:

[JdFoX187]

Star Wars with a competent crew behind it? Could this be possible?

 

[RatskyWatsky]

So it is true. GL is passing the franchise off the other filmmakers. This could be really fucking awesome.

 

[PowderedToast]

y'all can laugh or cry, but we're all gonna be there

whoever wins, we lose

 

[spats]

This is just crazy. I wonder what Lucas' role actually is in the production of the upcoming Star Wars films. Creative consultant is quite vague. Hopefully he'll be as hands off as possible.

 

[ezekial45]

It's official

[Jokergrin]

Will they continue the story of the original trilogy characters?

can Mark Hamill make a comeback?!? I'm excited

 

[PBalfredo]

Episode 7? As in after Return of the Jedi? What the hell story do we need to tell after Jedi? I doubt they'll use the actors from the original saga.

Remake episodes I-III first please.

This. Please. If you're going to make more Star Wars movies, be a force for good.

 

[Htown]

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

I'm on board just for that.

I'll take Tim Zahn over George Lucas any day of the week.

 

[Anth0ny]

ahahahaahahaha

not this time, lucas.

 

[Slavik81]

Episodes 7, 8 and 9 were discussed long ago. I remember hearing about plans for them well before Episode 1 released. Then they decided not to.

I'm cautiously optimistic. A set of movies for Thrawn could be great. Heir to the Empire was fantastic.

 

[SerRodrik]

looking forward to the plinkett reviews.

First thing I thought of.

 

[gibration]

I'm excited.

 

[Cramoss]

WHAT

 

[bud]

give it to visionary director christopher nolan indeed.

he is the only one who can save this franchise at this point.

 

[Gr1mLock]

You will NOT make this bad movie *waves hand*.

 

[The Lamonster]

This is huge. I will believe it when I see it.


Not sure if this is a good thing or a bad thing...

 

[PhantomR]

 

[Fry]

Please don't be an animated movie.

 

[Foffy]

Uh oh, so the original trilogy will be surrounded by ruin set before and after it?

 

[lupinko]

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

?

Disney's Avengers is Avengers.

 

[kassatsu]

Can we get a real source please?

[DopeyFish]

Mother of fuck, it's real. They have it on Disney site confirming episode 7

[SpudBud]

I wonder how far forward into the timeline will they go.

 

[woxel1]

I think the bigger news here is that Disney bought Lucasfilm. I'm looking forward to the Captain EO prequel trilogy now.

 

[calder]

This... might actually not be bad news.

 

[keit4]

MEGATON

 

[Neko Mimi Mode]

So glad the world ends this year.

 

[John Dunbar]

good news is that lucas will remain as a creative consultant, so we should expect maintained quality from the new films.

 

[mrkgoo]

Cgi thrawn trilogy voiced by original cast please.

Otherwise ... I don't know what to think really.

 

[Good Job Bob]

Hopefully they get Joss Whedon to direct and write it.

 

[Byakuya769]

So Pirates of the Caribbean wasn't close enough for Disney?

Ah well, with the success they had with John Carter, I'm sure they'll knock this out of the park.

 

[Sanjuro]

 

[GusBus]

Why the hate? I love the Star Wars universe and am happy to hear news of more films. Let someone else take a crack at the franchise. There is so much potential here!

 

[Fleet_of_Foot]

Just think, episodes 1-3 were made for a new generation of kids.

This new trilogy (don't you doubt it for a second) is going to be made for a new, NEW generation of kids. You'll hate it even more!

Star Wars will never go away. Money money money.

 

[Omegasquash]

Will they continue the story of the original trilogy characters?

can Mark Hamill make a comeback?!? I'm excited

He's spoken for, and no one else can have him.

 

[KernelPanic]

Holy crap Hamill looks like the Emperor now lol.

 

[Giard]

Oh lord.

 

[DrForester]

Heir to the Empire or fuck off.

 

[Blablurn]

history in the making! i cant wait.

 

[Neuromancer]

No.

No.

No.
