Disney buys LucasArt, new STAR WARS

Because the world really needs more Star Wars movies o_o

Hey, I love star wars and yes we need more movies, just not shitty Lucas ones, but Disney? WTF

might actually be good now as george lucas isn't involved.

imagine if joss whedon directed star wars. this can actually happen now

Indeed, maybe this is a good thing.

I mean, this link speaks for itself... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucasfilm#Filmography

What difference does it make? Lucasfilm was just making the same shit all over again anyway... now it's gonna be the same shit under a different company.

Yeah, hopefully this will turn out well, getting somebody that also has a vision and a voice of their own (that isn't the voice of JarJar), and somebody that understands what made the old movies great.

i saw it on aintitcool news before it was up anywhere else and assumed it was a prank.

but its true yes ?

pixar and marvel ips seem to do alright with disney lets hope the indy and star wars ips will aswell

Perhaps we will now finally see the original movies on Blu Ray without all the added crap. Keeping fingers crossed!

It could turn out to be a very good thing for Star Wars. Just a bit worried about the games side of things, sounds like they want to do social, free to play stuff more than console/PC titles.

It's not like it can get any worse

I'm sure someone can find a way.

when they first announced episode one, i hoped really hard that lucas would acknowledge that the core star wars audience was all grown up and would target the new movies accordingly, make them darker, hire interesting directors, etc..

this was stupid of me.

i have no interest in this.

I still hope to see a true & new Jedi Knight sequel, but not like that other shitty game with a billion quick time events. However this is LucasFilm, which correct me if I'm wrong, has nothing to do with the games division?

lucasfilm is the parent company of lucasarts.

let's hope they create a new star wars galaxies that uses NGE but has worse graphics and more rubberbanding. maybe they can invent a new form of cancer while they're at it. *crosses fingers*

So jerry bruckheimer & johnny depp will be involved in episode 7 then?

Disney use script writers though, so all of this might be a good thing for the whored out Star wars franchise.

It makes a lot of sense imo. Let's face it Star Wars is a franchise for kids nowadays and has been for years. My little nephews utterly love everything Star Wars: movies, cartoons, toys, video games. The name Disney is the first thing that comes to mind when i think of entertainment for kids. It's a perfect fit.
