Fucking megaton right there.
This... might actually not be bad news.
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.
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.
There is no reason why it can't be a good film.
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 just realized: Is Disney counter-programming against ITSELF? Why put Avengers 2 against Star Wars 7?
Anyone saying Nolan should direct, kindly shut the fuck up.
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).
Well, there goes that theory.
Exactly!looking forward to the plinkett reviews.
Because "Creative Consultant" isn't just a meaningless term to scratch Lucas's ego...

FUCK STAR WARS. PIXAR GRIM FANDANGO!!!! RT @SkyNewsBreak: Disney is buying 'Star Wars' maker Lucasfilm for $4.05 billion from George Lucas
Star Wars without George Lucas???
I am ready.
Nolan? Bah, a Fincher Star Wars would be huge. It'll proably be Gore Verbinsky though
They're just gonna let him name all the characters.
George Lucas thought he had done everything he could to kill people's love for Star Wars after creating the prequels. But he realized that they still had one place for hope - the Star Wars EU..

They need to give this to an upcoming director, it worked wonders for Batman.
Sweet. Rango was awesome.Nolan? Bah, a Fincher Star Wars would be huge. It'll proably be Gore Verbinsky though
