Disney bought Star Wars 2012-10-30 16:41:33


news link

They're supposedly going to make a new SW movie that will release in 2015. If this actually happens, I'm only going to see it just to see how bad it actually is.

That is just hilarious. Why does Disney need to own everything that makes money?

What are your thoughts about this?

Why is Disney thinking about? They have so many movies made already and now they wanted to ruin Star Wars and our childhoods (I watched Star Wars when I was a kid)!

I have much more faith in Disney making a new SW movie than George Lucas who thinks when an immature, whiny, genocidal maniac ends up turning evil it's somehow surprising.

"I killed them. I killed them all. They're dead - every single one of them. And, not just the men ... but the women ... and the children too. They're like animals, and I slaughtered them like animals. I hate them."

Yeah I bet that Star Wars movie would be awful because Disney has a history of making really awful movies and 'murdering' your precious nostalgia.

I wish they never tried to make a prophet/revive the Star Wars trilogy. The original 3 movies were amazing and perfect.

The continuation with the 3 prequels had terrible acting, terrible cgi, tons of cheesiness, and just ridiculous over the top battles. The whole Episode I-3 are embarrassing.

The original 3 movies have a certain feel to them. Puppets, sculptures, basically no cgi in my opinion, made it seem more realistic and smooth. With puppets and models you have to be in your limits of natural movement. Sure, it might look silly but Yoda as a puppet looks million times better than as a cgi monstrosity.

Adding on to the original 3 and continuing that story will but be retarded. The new movies will have the same feel probably as the Episode 1-3. Episode 1-3 already made it feel like it was in the future with everything being nice and space agey while it made Episode 4-6 seem like it was in the stone age.

I don't understand what they'll do about the actors or any of that. If they could get the original cast, that'd be amazing but I'm not sure if the age they are now would fit into the story. It would be even more killing the saga if they got a whole new cast to replace everyone.

It's interesting to note that this also means Disney will own the rights to the Indiana Jones franchise. I hope they don't mess with that one too much. Rides based around the original movies would be cool though.

Disney also owns ESPN, Pixar, Marvel comics and entertainment, ABC studios, etc.

I could care less though how badly they screw up Lucas-films. After I saw the new Star Wars CGI movie (with that alien girl) I lost all hope that there would ever be another good star wars film......... I mean even the new trilogy created by Lucas sucked.

I'd rather just remember Star Wars for as it used to be.

Response to Disney bought Star Wars 2012-10-30 17:43:02


Well, George Lucas' actual canon saga has already been completed, what's the worst they could-

They're supposedly going to make a new SW movie that will release in 2015. If this actually happens, I'm only going to see it just to see how bad it actually is.

What the hell? What do they think they're going to do?

Star Wars: The Cash Cow

If Disney ruins my childhood Star Wars memories, I will shoot myself.

I assume we're going to see that kid from Transformers be the next Indiana Jones now.

Also, regarding Star Wars - I am very curious as to how they are going to handle Episode 7, 8 and 9. I fear that they are going to screw up, looking at some of the company's recent releases 2010-12 (see: Prom, Alice in Wonderland, Prince of Persia, Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides). However, maybe we'll luck out and get one of their better films (see recently: The Muppets, The Avengers, Toy Story 3).

The problem is that it will come down to luck, and when a hit-or-miss company takes the reins of the Star Wars franchise, there is definitely room for concern.

Don't get me wrong - I'm no Star Wars fanatic.

I am not a child of the 1960s-70, so I was not around when the original trilogy was "ground breaking". I don't perceive the original episodes 4, 5 and 6 as "untouchable" revered films that shouldn't be revamped. When I first saw them, I found them to be pretty boring actually. And now, while I enjoy them, I also see them as a brilliant marketing scheme by Lucas to sell merchandise.

Empire is the only really good Star Wars film, and Irvin Kershner and Leigh Brackett are both dead. We're not going to see any decent new content.

However, with the rights out of Lucas' hands, we may finally see a restoration of the original trilogy, instead of living with the dodgy Laserdisc versions that currently exist. That's if Lucas hasn't already burned the masters, mind.

Holy shit, Star Wars fanboys need to calm down. Lucas may have been an essential part of the original trilogy, but Episode 3 made it very clear that he would ultimately be detrimental to the series if it continued. Don't forget that Disney currently owns Marvel and the last few Marvel films have been amazing.
