Disney Buys LucasFilm, Announces Episode 7

As the title says, Disney will purchase LucasFilm and release "Star Wars: Episode 7" in 2015. George Lucas has finally called it quits. I'll be interesting to see where the new film falls in the timeline. As a Star Wars fan, I hope that the new film will revitalize the brand in the same way that the remakes and Episodes 1-3 did. What're everyone else's thoughts on this?

Time travel is a very interesting thing to think about, since it is a paradox - if you know what happened in the past, you should be able to do something to change it should you find yourself in that past.

Yet whatever you did to change it has already been done.

Maybe not so interesting.

All these posts and not one mention of the obvious.

Tim Burton directing.

Johnny Depp as a drunk Jedi.

Helena Bonham Carter as a twisted, psychotic Sith Lord.

and Micheal Keaton as anything just because Tim Burton can.

I agree with your casting of the psychotic Sith Lord.  She plays psychotic very well, as well as evil.

Though I think some of her best work was playing Hermoine playing Belatrix - very different acting needed.

Well I guess I can't make fun of him as much for how well he milked the franchise for all these years. At least schools win out of this.

Maybe Disney could remake the prequels or re-release them with a better edit.

Anyone ever see the Phantom Edit? Made Episode I much better.

Did it edit everything out and make it a new movie???

I'm more hoping Disney will remaster the original trilogy.

 

I may not like the prequels, but it's the destruction of Solo's character that pisses me off more.  I can't sit through the new version, ruins the only cool good guy.

Where was the ruining of Solo's character?

We talking the Blue Ray version bc I havn't seen that one?

I have the Trilogy edition and see no real signs of that.

When his character is introduced, he has a chat with a bounty hunter that's come to collect him.

 

Solo is an underhanded opportunist that never plays fair when he can take advantage of his enemy.  He blows the bounty hunter away from under the table in a surprise attack while they're having a conversation.  He's smart.

 

His story line advances when he shows that under his intelligent, self serving behavior, is a conscience that occasionally results in him doing heroic, and utterly retarded things.  Like showing up in the middle of a battle after he's gotten his payment.

 

Asshole then remasters the movies, releases them anew, and "softens" his character by making the bounty hunter shoot first.  Now he's a moron.

 

It may be a minor detail, but Solo is the only good guy that doesn't have a dick up his ass.

While I agree Solo shot first, if that kills the whole trilogy for you I think you're being a bit too much of a grump.  ;) Like those guys complaining about Sins not having voice acted tutorials or the Korsov not using both pylons.

You have to put things in perspective. Carrie Fisher was quite attractive.

Well... i guess now Star Wars will never be public domain...

No, the whole trilogy is dead because it's filled with tacky crap that breaks the flow of the movies.  I'd rather have picture degradation than tacky interruptions to what used to be a well made setting.

 

The biggest interruption is what used to be a classic scene, the Cantina.  He destroyed it with that retarded pop music addition.  If he wanted to piss on his audience so bad, he should have gone the distance and had some bimbo pop star on stage instead of overdone cgi aliens.

 

The market for unaltered remasters is huge, but Lucas rules out their release.  He made it big because other people controlled the purse strings and rewrote retarded crap out of his original scripts.

 

I figure his remasters are revenge.

If Lucas is going to donate to anything, why would he pick that??? What about something like cancer research? With that kind of money he could change the future of mankind

Well, smarter kids means smarter scientists AND smarter movie producers, so maybe someday one will be able to make a good Star Wars movie.

I think better writers and a more intelligent general population to appreciate their work is more important as far as a better Star Wars movie is concerned. :P
