Post by: Pterano on October 30, 2012, 07:27:58 PM: Yep, just heard about this. I second what Jansenov said. Disney's a freaking giant now. I've got mixed feelings on this myself. Guess we'll just have to see what comes of it.

Post by: WeirdRaptor on October 30, 2012, 07:53:41 PM: Even if it's good, I'm frankly tired of Star Wars at this point.

Post by: LBTFan13 on October 30, 2012, 08:15:26 PM: At this point, Star Wars is never going away. Some interesting things could come out of it, but I'm not hoping for anything in particular.

Post by: Kor on October 30, 2012, 08:35:29 PM: I wonder if it'll be good or bad. I guess only time will tell, though if information starts to come out who is working on the project that may be some clues if it may be good or bad. I also wonder what era it'll be set in. Lots of room.

Post by: Malte279 on October 30, 2012, 08:48:19 PM: Shrugs, nobody is forced to watch it. I admit I am surprised about these news since from what I had heard (a while ago) George Lucas had plans for at least five season of the Clone Wars cartoon (a series I enjoy watching).

Post by: Belmont2500 on October 30, 2012, 08:57:19 PM: Hopefully, it will based off of Timothy Zahn's novels.(Heir To The Empire, Dark Force Rising and The Last Command.)

Post by: Kor on October 31, 2012, 12:33:58 AM: I remember reading and really enjoying those novels.

As I recall, it was maybe in the 80's, there was a newspaper article in the local newspaper, an interview I think where Lucas talked about planning a parts 7-9. Later on when folks asked him about where episodes 7-9 were I recall reading that he had scrapped parts 7-9 since he realized the first 6 parts were about Anakin Skywalker & I think he mentioned something about it being anticlamitic or something. Then more recently I read he denies having any plans for 7-9. Though that is another topic.

Post by: WeirdRaptor on November 01, 2012, 02:09:31 AM: I know. The franchise has pretty much lost all its luster at this point.

Really, I doubt there's much Disney could do to it that George Lucas hasn't already done.

I meant in terms of making it worse.

Disney bought Lucasfilm for a little over 4 billion dollars. They pretty much own everything Star Wars related now.

Post by: pokeplayer984 on November 11, 2012, 01:30:26 PM: Well, looks like they are already taking a step in the right direction. The writer is the same guy who did Toy Story 3.

Considering how good that movie was, it makes me wonder what he can do with Star Wars. Only time will tell, I guess. :)

Post by: Kor on November 11, 2012, 06:14:10 PM: It could be interesting. As long as they don't go into what I read happens to one of Laia & han's kids, just a repeat of what happened before. They can be totally original. There is a lot of area to do stories in. The kids or grand kids of the folks in episodes 4-6, a time after that, or 1 or more thousands of years before episode 4, where the 2 kotor games happen and the knights of the old republic comics that dark horse did.

Unless 7 actually takes place between 3 and 4, I really don't see how this will work.
