    Does anyone know what’s meant to happen in the later films? I understood all 9 plot lines were in the public domain.

    The deal is a stock and cash transaction, with Lucas receiving about half of the $4.05 billion value of the deal in cash plus some 40 million stock shares.

    Hoping the whole 3 hours of episode 7 are dedicated to a carbonite accident for Jar Jar Binks. In very slow motion…

    I always though South Park had George Lucas summed up where he’s raping the Storm Trooper.

    I think it’s something like, Luke starts a new Jedi order and starts training jedis to do jedi stuff.
    Han gets Leia up the duff and they have a couple of kids who become jedis as well.
    they also buy a cat that becomes a jedi.
    various baddies emerge from the remains of the galactic empire.

    If Disney are involved, Buzz Lighyear will probably turn up at some point.

    They might do a Peter Jackson and break each episode into a trilogy. We may get treated to a further 9 films. 😉

    can anyone find a link to the ‘George Lucas at College’ pi55 take where there is a stoned professor who couldn’t talk straight (little rubbery guy in the movie who’s name escapes me), a great big hairy bloke trying to fix the engine (Chewbaka) for a better looking bloke (Hans Solo?) while a girl walked past with goat horn hair (princess layer).

    Not totally sure on the names as I have never seen the movies but you should get the drift. V Funny

    Can I say that in all my 47 years I have never seen a Star Wars film.

    You can, but it’s nothing to be especially proud of. It is possible to watch and enjoy them without being a nerdy fanboy/girl. They’re good enough, and they have loads of incidental detail and context which makes them stand out from many other films and I guess is what contributes to the cult thing.

    Only if Woody is in it too.

    The new film will be great as long as they keep George away from it.

    With Pixar, Disney has the ability to write proper stories and dialogue. Imagine Star Wars without George’s rubbish scripts.

    George is being kept on as a “creative” consultant.

    I don’t know why some of you are moaning, dialogue in some of the films is terrible. I can’t see them being worse under Disney.

    I see this as being a great thing. Just think: Disney buy Marvel, we get the Avengers. Disney buy Lucasfilm, who knows what could happen? Neil Blomkamp, Joss Whedon, Gore Verbinski… Just imagine a really good director getting to play with Star Wars.

    I’m cautiously excited. As long as they keep George well away.

    Some of the books written after episode 6 were cracking, they should use those.

    I’m looking forward to it, just hope it’s decent!

    Hopefully this also means they might try to make a star wars galaxies 2…

    the entire series has just been on ITV on the last few satirday afternoons. IN fact I think – yepo, just checked, Ep 5 is on this week and Ep 6 next week

    I’m disappointed in the news that Lucas is being kept on, maybe without him the films might have been decent. Then again, it’s a kids story and as such, the plotlines probalby weren’t supposed to make sense

    Nothing wrong with it IMO, as has been said Disney have done a pretty good job with the Marvel franchise films, it’s as though people are expecting Mickey and Goofy to appear in the new films or something…

    Lucas is good at the big ideas, overall story concepts etc.

    He’s terrible at scripts and characterisation. He also picked Hayden Christiansen to play Anakin Skywalker which means he’s demonstrably terrible at casting too.

    One of the reason Raiders of the Lost Ark is such a good film is that Lucas was only responsible for the story the script and direction were handled by others.

    So a Disney / Lucas Star Wars with Lucas in charge of the basic story arc and other people involved in the direction etc could be good

    I’ve just about got over the prequels. Just about. I can only hope, as has been said above, that without Lucas controlling everything they may actually manage to produce something close to Empire.

    If not at least blow Jar Jar Binks out an airlock.

    Like others have said might be a good thing.

    Out of 6 films only one has stood the test of time for me.

    Put aside how you felt when you was 10… and only Empire Strikes Back is really any good.
