For the Star Wars fans

[captainprophesy]

Not sure if I should be frightened or excited... I mean #7 cant be worse than the Phantom Menace, right?
Disney buys Lucasfilm

Love, love, love Star Wars, Empire Strikes and Return of the Jedi. After those three I just kind of lost interest. Seems that the original magic just wasn't there with any of the subsequent films. I was seven years old when the first one came out and grew up watching the movies and playing with the action figures. Classic Tolkien like story of good vs. evil.
Not a fan of Disney but I don't see a problem with them carrying on the torch.

I fear that this isn't going to end well. They've retained Lucas as a "Creative" Consultant, and they're saying that the new movies will be worked on by the same crews that worked on the terrible prequels and the godawful last Indiana Jones movie.
I say we start a petition to get Chris Nolan, of the new Batman trilogy fame, to direct any new Star Wars movie.

Peter Jackson would be another good go for a new Star Wars trilogoy, if he isn't still too busy with The Hobbit. I agree the last three Star Wars movie sucked. I fell asleep during the last one, literally. Totally missed the whole Wookie scene. Luckily I woke up in time for the best part of the movie, the birth of Darth Vader. If Spielberg isn't working on it, I have very little hope for Episode 7.

I will try to be positive about this news but i just keep hearing this in my head...
Me "I'm not afraid."
Disney "Ohhh...you will be, you will be."

Hopefully Disney will get the ball rolling on some new films.

Crap, the last thing I want is Disney making Star Wars. Give it to anyone else please!

 

[lasttango]

I did't like all of the muppetts in the newer ones, otherwise they were good

Chris Nolan would be good... but would be too dark for Disney
Jackon would be good... would much rather see his version of Star Wars than the Hobbit (yes I am so excited to see it regardless) and would have rather had Guillermo Del Torro do the Hobbit like originally planned.

 

[lordofthepiperings]

I heard Del Torro backed out of the Hobbit because they couldn't decide on a script or a cast and he got tired of waiting.
Nolan is definitely a great director and it'd be interesting to see his version. Disney did go a bit darker with Bruckheimer's third installment of Pirates of the Carribean. Maybe they'd be a little more willing to do it with Star Wars.
A Tim Burton Star Wars would be another version that'd be pretty interesting. Plus, Burton did sell Nightmare Before Christmas to Disney, so there's a link up there.
One thing's for sure, Disney would never let Quentin Tarantino direct a film lol. That'd be an interesting film, Star Wars done Reservoir Dogs style lol.

 

[yaboofive]

I am still unsure how i feel about this.

 

[captainprophesy]

I heard the same thing about Del Torro.... Tim Burton would be "interesting?" lol... As long as he doesn't put Johhny Depp in it I guess I would be ok with that.

 

[waznyf]

Don't hate on any Star Wars movies lol but I am a bit leery about this. Can't say for sure whether or not Disney will succeed with Star Wars or not. I can only hope! I will be going to each premier that is for sure!

This would be cool. Maybe he could rewrite episodes I-III, maybe not make Anakin look like such a b%*#H.

 

[dpkrause]

How about 'Avengers' Joss Whedon direct the new Star Wars?

 

[juvat270]

Oh well. I don't see how Disney could f*** up the series any worse then George Lucas himself did.

 

[voorhees]

I also was really into Star Wars as a child, I was 6 in 1977 and it was all I knew for years. Not sure how Disney will pull this off, especially since they will be do VII. That would have to include(cameos at least)of Hamill, Fisher and Ford, etc at least to keep continuity, but focus on the children of them for the most part.
