a new trilogy to be exact for the moment, and after that... god only knows honestly. kinda a nuts bit of news in some ways.

One could hope they turn the Timothy Zahn books into the movies. Love to see Thrawn in action.

I must say I'm really surprised at how much the internet is exploding with rage over this. Disney buying a company responsible for some timeless adventure films with appeal across the ages? Oh no, it's the end of the world! Oh wait. They already bought a company responsible for some timeless adventure films with appeal across the ages: Pixar. And being brought under the Disney banner doesn't appear to have done them much harm. In fact, they've produced some of their best work since the merger.
There's also the fact that... er... Disney isn't exactly just Mickey Mouse and princesses. Heck this is the company that bankrolled Pulp Fiction through their Miramax arm. Maybe I'll be made to eat my words and they'll knock together a sequel trilogy with lectures on the power of friendship and talking animal sidekicks, but they have a proven track record of working outside their comfort zone. I don't know, I agree with Ragnar. I really think this could be the best thing to happen to Lucasfilm for a long time.
Also, even assuming Disney approached the franchise in the most Disney-ish way possible, would it really be any worse than Jar Jar? He's one musical number away from being a Disney character anyway. Well... that and a whole lot of charisma.
George has been whoring-out to Disney for many years now, so this comes as no major shock. Saddened a bit by the news, but c'mon; he is a nearly 70-year-old obese man with diabetes...maybe Uncle George has just had enough of it all.
The 'signing-off' promo pic, where the Disney characters are all gathered around dressed as SW characters says it all: Just look at the expression on George's face.
Ah well, whatever Disney decides to do at this point certainly cant be any more of a detriment to the SW 'franchise' than Episodes 1-3, the 'Special Editions', and Goofy dressed as Boba Fett.

OH HO HO HO
Silliness aside, I see this as a good thing. Like I said the other day in the HO, things can only get better after that trainwreck of a prequel trilogy. Quite interested to see what they're gonna do with this new trilogy.
(include Kyle Katarn plz plz plz)
it's not a merger, lucasfilm is a subsidiary with a parent company, which means they'll have their own internal structure and answer to the board which in turn answers to disney. so there's still a fair amount of autonomy with this.
also it's been suggested that it's going to be completely new stories, so nothing from the EU will be used. or if it's used it won't be what we're familiar with. so... odds are good it'll completely obliterate that. but it might not. it might be set at a point that it doesn't do anything. honestly, until we have more info on what's going to happen odds are any speculation will probably just cause nerdrage. on the other forum i'm on the reaction has been extremely mixed.
oh. and don't forget disney also owns marvel, which just put out the avengers, so... there is that. marvel's a subsidiary as well.

Leia is now a Disney princess.
I am quite interested in how this will play out i mean, it is Disney. The series already seemed complete after Episode VI so to add a sequel trilogy would seem rather unneeded?

I would love to see the original cast (Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher, etc.) return for one last hurrah. They could warp back in time and kill off everyone from episodes 1-3 and be like "Yeah, those crappy movies never really happened".
But I liked episode I.
And I don't like Disney.

I honestly don't know what to think about Lucas' recent decision. If the next trilogy however were to be based on Timothy Zahn's Star Wars novels, that would be pretty awesome! However, no matter how you look at it, casting will be difficult.
