Star Wars Episode 7?

Don't hate on it before it's out, it might actually be good. If it's ***though (when it's out), go ahead.

100% this ^


These Nukkas just sound mad because they can't afford and get that paper... lol


Edit: On that note if ***is bad what is it to you, if the money was payed for didn't come out of your pocket and your retirement funds..

We shall wait and see how it turns out.

I really REALLY hope you are right, there is a wealth of brilliant stories and characters in the Star Wars universe that only had cameo appearances in the movie saga. Please Disney, PLEASE do not try and drag out the same storyline, George Lucas always planned on doing 6 films, even if the release of the prequels took the shine off the original trilogy just a tad. To force another series of movies from the same storyline runs a very, very high risk of destroying credibility.

Not hating lol I'm just hoping they don't do what Sagittario said on the last bit

I hope whatever comes down the pipe is completely fresh and not something designed to throw in pointless cameos.

This will be the introduction to Episode 7. Enjoy.

Quote "The seventh movie, with a working title of “Episode 7,” is set for release in 2015. Episodes 8 and 9 will follow. The trilogy will continue the story of Luke Skywalker, Han Solo and Princess Leia beyond “Return of the Jedi,” the third film released and the sixth in the saga. After that, Disney plans a new “Star Wars” movie every two or three years. Lucas will serve as creative consultant in the new movies.

yes they will make that 4b back no problem ..and i think Disney are thinking long term... the material is all ready available for Disney about 20 books were written after the final episode - ive read a few, i wont spoil it !!

I wonder why Lucas wanted to sell up - perhaps provide for his family and make sure his legacy is in the right hands to continue when he is gone?

Also im sure he makes enough $$$ from THX - its the daddy sound format right now.

With all the original actors being so much older now (Carrie Fisher is how old? She's still great, but she can't pull off the slave bikini anymore. Mark Hamill is 61 years old. Harrison Ford is 70.) I wonder how they will continue their story from "Return of the Jedi." It will almost certainly have to be with new actors for each of those roles. Any speculations on who?

could just be the rebuilding of the Jedi...

I swear to the god of all things holy, if Justin Bieber appears in the movies in ANY way shape or form for even the smallest margin of time known to man, I will destroy the world.

And new actors would kinda ruin it a bit

At least it wont be directed and written by this horrible post 1983 George Lucas.

Should just make a movie trilogy about the rise and fall... and rise again of Boba Fett! Or go back to the beginnings of the Sith Empire and the stories of Exar Kun and the Mandalorians! I mean Boba Fett plays a major role in the story post movies and it's a story worthy of being made into a movie.

I bet you since its disney, in the begining someones mom will die, then that young kid will go on a life long journey discovering himself to be a jedi and find some new friends to sing songs with.

Lmao v_v

Or movies about Revan and the Star Forrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrge :O

Ya know John Carter was a pretty good movie had no freaking idea wtf it was as i had seen 0 previews for it prior sad it didn't do well.

On the main topic... i read a metric ton of the novels when i was in high school and honestly i would not mind if the movies that come follow those novels... that said star wars is full on dead to me if they make up their own crap, there is litterally a metric F'ton to go off of making their own version of star wars the after years would be f'tarded.

On that note would be great if they made a movie based on the courtship of princess leah however considering they announced it as a trilogy think that thought will only ever be an if, that said jedi academy trilogy is one of my favorite ones.

All the Original cast would fit perfect - as in the 1st book after Return of the Jedi some time has passed and Luke along with his sister start bringing along new Jedi

Also one of the main characters die - wont say who lol.

should've just made an episode 0 with 3 parts based on kotor

They already have this in books, Leia becoms a jedi, Luke gets married to Mara Jade etc etc

Edit: By only watching the movies you see only a small fraction of the Star Wars lore, I've been in book stores where Star Wars isn't kept in the science fiction or fantasy sections but in a friggen Star Wars section.

all sales after the date of purchase that money goes directly to Disney. I fail to mention the multiple Star wars video games, and cartoons and books not included on this list.


Now this is not including Toys, and memorabilia. The ride Star tours and Indiana Jones rides at disney land were paying royalties to Lucasarts/films for having them in the park. The sale of Lucasfilms to Disney would make them the only profiteers.
So if you ask me, buying a WORLD WIDE known Production company, being the Most well known World Wide known cartoon and attraction, I would say they made a great deal. It would take them 1 movie to make that back. I would just be worried that Disney will buy Johnny depp soon and own him as a pet.

There's so much expanded universe content for Disney to use, I personally am looking forward to what they could achieve, sure they could balls it up completely but I'd say it's better than no Star Wars content.

People can say it shits on the original trilogy all they want but everyone still enjoys those movies regardless of what they think of the newer released Star Wars material so I can't see the problem.

Oh and Star Wars in Kingdom Hearts would be alright! Although they've already had Mark Hamill in KH as Master Eraqus so maybe he won't mind coming back. ^^

EDIT: Interesting to note, on Mark Hamill's wiki page they've put in his filmography for him to reprise his role as Luke Skywalker in Episode 7: The Fallen Hero. Is that the draft title of the movie and has he been confirmed for it or are people making assumptions?

Makes me wonder if we will see Kyle Katarn in the movies, unless he died or something. Last Dark Forces game I played was academy and never really dug into any books so he could be dead for all I know.
