This bastard just won't quit will he?........

I am almost positive episodes 7-9 will be as epic as this memorable scene.

Article says he will be a creative consultant at least.

Disney will put in a Jarjar in every scene,

This is a very sad day for the nerdom

I dunno Disney might do alright . Did you see The Lone Ranger trailer ? It looks like it could be a good movie, and not targeted at children.

"This transaction combines a world-class portfolio of content including Star Wars, one of the greatest family entertainment franchises of all time, with Disney's unique and unparalleled creativity across multiple platforms, businesses, and markets to generate sustained growth and drive significant long-term value," Disney CEO Robert Iger said in a statement.

This is ominous language, it reeks of business suits and MBA's-- the commoditization of creativity as a product. This is the same process that takes intellectual property like World of Warcraft, bends it over, and rapes it repeatedly until it turns into Mists of Pandaria. It's the process that stretches the exact same Call of Duty experience over ten different installments, and it's the kind of thinking responsible for publishers pathologically pushing out games before they are ready.

[Ephirith]

I'm also hopeful that somebody competent will get control of it and it will be well executed. I thought the last star trek movie went pretty well.

[Diggles]

your entire argument is dum bcuz pundaria is the better than burning crusade in terms of expacs.

Disney owns Marvel too.
Marvel made The Avengers...

And honestly, Lucas said hes trying to retire. He will have very little say in the next movies. That's what people want.

[agdros]

Got a copy of a message from an insider at LFL last night that indicated they will remain somewhat autonomous. We will see how things change over the next 6 months.

[Hasbinlulz]

I hope this doesn't mean Disney will write the rest of A Song Of Ice And Fire when GRRM dies after his seven hundred thousandth cheeseburger (knocking on wood).

[Hasbinlulz]

Soon, all production companies will be Disney, and all restaurants will be Taco Bell.

Marvel studios made the avengers. Marvel studios has its shit together even before the merger.
Lucasfilm has routinely made poor decisions with its IP over the last decade. Indiana jones etc etc. They have repeatedly had to be bailed out by the nerds in skywalker ranch(ILM).Good effects. Bad movies

If disney keeps the managment of lucasfilm on. I severely doubt that much will improve, unlike keeping marvel studios intact. However , the only real arm disney has working for it is pixar.

The solution? Give pixar the animated wing, let them make movies with story, characters and emotion. Let the ILM do anything cgi but not animated for the entirety of disneys portfolio. Aka movies like john carter, pirates series. Leave marvel studios the fuck alone. And rake in money.

However if you look at it from a top level executive view, they have three wings doing nearly the same thing. I bet in the next few years marvel studios, ILM, and pixar are going to be merged and alot of talented people will lose their jobs, lucasfilm execs will get their paws in other divisions, and quality will fall as the result.


Yes this is me being angry about lucasarts dicking kotor2, no battlefront 3, jedi knight 3 being a rushed turd, forcing your best game partner(bioware) to make an mmo when they had Zero ability to do so. Fucking padme, fucking jar jar, fucking NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!, fucking red tails, and last but not least, shaia lebouf swinging like a retard through the jungle.

The MMO sucked because of EA not because of Lucas arts .

I am almost positive lucasarts had a say in the way of making it a wow clone. I am positive the game was in production before the merger. EA is clearly a dirty mop-whore in this as well, but someone up top at lucasarts had to say they wanted this. They have the IP, its their reputation.

[Diggles]

Neither Lucasarts or EA had a hand in SWTOR's development. It's a bioware game, based off of two previous Bioware games. Lucasarts was consulted for storyline, EA published it.

Quit being retarded.

Just like they had no say in kotor 2 development cycle?

[oblexsis]

I just hope they had admiral Thrawn in episode 7... and they don't completely fuck him up.

[Hasbinlulz]

I hope he calls it out when the heroes are about to spring a trap.

Wrong general =\

[oblexsis]

I thought Akbar was an Admiral not General ?

[Lexical]

Ackbar is an admiral (sauce: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Admiral_Ackbar)
Admiral Thrawn is an all around bad ass (sauce: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_Admiral_Thrawn)

I was wrong, actually. Kotor 2 wasn't made by Bioware.

[Tarathiel]

wasnt kotor 1 and kotor 2 pretty much the same game just with a "slightly" different story? as far as the merger goes i cant wait to see Star Wars VII: a jedi musical, starring Miley Cyrus and Justin Bieber. or how about Jedi's on Ice? nothing says epic sci fi action like a lightsaber duel in ice skates.

1 was the story of a man who walked on both sides of the force. Except for the twist its a pretty straightforward journey.

2 was a study of the nature of the force itself . If the force itself could be destroyed. The light/ dark side both being flawed interpretations. Even the wise teacher obi wan role is suspect.

But they ran out if time and a few planets and the ending was cut.

http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Cut_content_from_Star_Wars:_Knights_of_the_Old_Rep ublic_II:_The_Sith_Lords

Its amazing the game even worked as well as it did.

[oblexsis]

Lightsaber skates zomg epic. And as a Canadian i have to apologize once again for Justin Bieber . And as a Calgarian i really have to apologize for Brian Adams .

We're running out of time to figure out how to use the 3 seashells correctly.

You know i'd buy a ticket lol.

lol @ jedi's on ice. thats going to be the #1 meme of the coming months for sure.

I think it's already been announced that Episode 7 will start a completely new story not covered in any expanded universe.

I'm fine with that if and only if they do not overwrite any of the already established EU canon.

So much for a decent Revan or Bane film...

[Diggles]

There will never be a decent Revan film unless they just make Kotor a movie. Before that point is too dark for a Star Wars film, after that is Sith Lords and TOR which are just poop in comparison

[Diggles]

Sith Lords is extremely dark for a SW movie as well, imo. Makes Revenge of the Sith look like ewoks.

I think (and hope Rogean is right). This is what my first thought was when i read this a few days ago.
