haha Disney is seriously the Empire now, and all the other studios are the Rebels.

 

[MMMMM...Pancakes]

I thought something like this would happen eventually, but I thought it wouldn't happen till after Lucas's death.

I kind of want to say 'it's about time' considering Disney has had the Star Tours attaction as well as an Indiana Jones one at Disneyland.

And the Star Wars Weekends, and the Jedi Training shows, which are extremely popular. Ever since the Harry Potter stuff opened at Universal (and they don't release numbers, but I think the attendance records that set kicked Disney World's ass more than they want to admit), fans have been rabid for a Star Wars/Indiana Jones equivalent.

And with the Disney Hollywood Studios park in Orlando desperate for a revamp? This would be amazing.

That's right. Forgot about the Jedi training shows for kids. I was just at Disneyland two weeks ago too.

Haha, Avengers 2, Star Wars 7, Justice League, Ant-Man...2015 is the new 2012! Which probably means JL will be bumped to June 2016, lol.

think about it...Disney is about to drop Avengers 2 and a New Star Wars movie in 2015...where do you place your movie with those two

 

[MagnarTheGreat]

Yay more Plinkett reviews of Star Wars to come! Oops, wrong reaction.

 

[terry78]

I know all the expanded stuff we've gotten the past couple decades, but seeing a teaser trailer with an old Luke and Leia, or even an old Han....that will be the one people will buy tickets to other movies for to see as opposed to just watching online.

 

[Doc Ock]

Haha, Avengers 2, Star Wars 7, Justice League, Ant-Man...2015 is the new 2012! Which probably means JL will be bumped to June 2016, lol.

Yeah, do Avengers and JL have a chance against Star Wars?!

Moving it all to 2016.

 

[Matt Mortem]

Well, this is certainly surprising news. I still find it hard to believe we're getting a new Star Wars film. That's kinda hard to wrap my head around. I'm remarkably excited about this, as Star Wars was my first geeky love.

 

[WilliamK99]

I see Disney using Star Wars to bully WB out of a 2015 JL release, as where would Justice League fit? Avengers in May, Star Wars in July, Justice League is screwed...

 

[roach]

Avengers isnt competition

Release Star Wars in May and Avengers 2 in July and the summer belongs to Disney

 

[Sawyer]

Yeah, WB might want to rethink that release date.

 

[Marvolo]

We may finally get the unaltered original films on bluray!!!

 

[flickchick85]

Well Avengers is the same studio now so they wouldn't be so stupid as to have them compete against each other, but I'd imagine WB might be re-thinking their JL plans right about now.

how do you figure?

No offense to WB or the JL but they aren't realistically even on their radars. Not to steer off topic in light of this amazing news but the current JL project doesn't have the creative fuel backing it for WB to stand their ground anyway. This is actually a positive for WB in my eyes as they'll have more time to create something more substantial rather than a knee jerk reaction to The Avengers.

Disney is concerned about making quality right now and being good stewards to both Marvel and Lucasfilm along with their own properties.

Disney is a trendsetter and innovator first and foremost.

This is terrible.

Disney is an evil imperialist comglomerate.

What makes "Star Wars" so engaging isn't just the six films themselves...but this giant collective community that surrounded it. "Star Wars" was owned by George Lucas...it's creator, a human being...and so he allowed the visuals and sound effects to be used by other creators and fans alike to remix, reevaluate and satirize the property, aiding to create a global phenomeonan.

There was a preschool in Florida that decorated its walls by painting up Disney characters. Disney responded by sueing the school and forcing them to paint over the mural.

So those "Star Wars" fan films and the fan involvement that Lucas has encouraged all these years?

What're the odds that's going to be thrown out the window now that Disney is the omnipotent master?

People are going nuts over this announcement without really thinking it all through.

 

[roach]

I wonder how this affects the 3D rereleases

With Lucas and Kennedy remaining on I dont see Disney changing how Lucas did things

Exactly how I'm feeling. To a T.

 

[TheAQU4M4N]

so what happens with Fox?

Yeah Disney is so evil they kept every single employee already employed by Lucasfilm.

Terrible people those folks at Disney.
