George Lucas calls bulls*** on you.

"For the past 35 years, one of my greatest pleasures has been to see Star Wars passed from one generation to the next," said George Lucas, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Lucasfilm.

"It's now time for me to pass Star Wars on to a new generation of filmmakers. I've always believed that Star Wars could live beyond me, and I thought it was important to set up the transition during my lifetime. I'm confident that with Lucasfilm under the leadership of Kathleen Kennedy, and having a new home within the Disney organization, Star Wars will certainly live on and flourish for many generations to come.

Disney's reach and experience give Lucasfilm the opportunity to blaze new trails in film, television, interactive media, theme parks, live entertainment, and consumer products."

It's definitely official. It's on the company website. And it makes sense, they've partnered with Lucasfilm for decades and they make a fortune off of those properties.

 

[OptimusPrime114]

Anybody think they'll make Episode 7 based on an EU story?

 

[terry78]

You know it'll be a massive time skip with Luke being about Hamill's age. You know he'll reprise the role if they ask.

 

[TheAQU4M4N]

wow, wonder who will be involved in this. My best friend (who is a star wars fanboy) is in NY now so he won't be hearing about this for a while lol

 

[SpideyFan866]

hell nah original actors...should be the right age

This. Just use the original actors but have them age.

TBH, I'd prefer if just Luke or Just Leia returned.

Otherwise, set it in the future FAR past their deaths. Perhaps to a time where the Republic has been restored to what it was before its fall in EP III.

Minus the Sith of course.

 

[roach]

hell nah give me Han and Luke and Leia and Chewie

 

[Sawyer]

Considering the career he has now, Hamill will be lucky as all hell if they ask him to reprise the role.

Personally, I wouldn't mind something based on the Legacy comics.

 

[spidey-dude]

my only problem is the original actors (for the most part) have not aged gracefully at all.... Hamill does not look like an old Jedi Master imo

 

[terry78]

Did Guiness?

 

[terry78]

Disney better do something with this **** though. They own so many properties just lying around it ain't funny.

 

[Maximus One]

New Jedi Order baby!!! Only thing the studio wouldn't like about that would be the lack of lightsaber battles. I say go with Legacy comics

 

[Sawyer]

Nothing wrong with Ford and Hamill... Fischer having the voice of an aged drag queen could be problematic, though.

Indeed. That first link that was posted was so bad, so I checked the 501st's website. Craziness.

I think Disney just wants Clone Wars and ILM more than anything. Lets just hope we don't get a Jerry Bruckheimer/Johnny Depp Star Wars.
