Cartoon Network am crai

they lost Transformers, any chance at future TMNT and Marvel stuff, they'll lose DreamWorks, and now Star Wars

 

[Str0ngStyle]

In a related story, Disney sends a HUGE gift basket to Marvel for the influx of extra cash needed to pull this off

 

[Dennis]

And people said the world wouldn't end in 2012.

 

[Face it Tiger..]

ILM and Pixar possible collaboration .

Omg

This is actually amazing, I can't wait for what comes next between the two of them.

 

[ymmv]

Directed by Joss Whedon?

C'm on, get Whedon off Avengers 2 and put him on the new SW!!

Oh, the possibilities. So many other directors I'd love to have a go at a SW movie -- Peter Jackson, Guillermo del Toro ) My inner fanboy goes crazy with the possibilities!

 

[x-Lundz-x]

WAIT. Episode 7? WHAT THE FUUUUUU??

 

[TacticalFox88]

ILM and Pixar possible collaboration .

Omg

I didn't even think of that!


HOLY FUCKING SHIT!

 

[PaleFolklore]

We're finally going to get that Howard the Duck sequel.

THANK YOU BASED GOD.

 

[Salmonax]

I can't process this.

HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO FEEL

In honor of Lucas' writing, be sure to plainly state however you feel out loud.

 

[Shard]

So are we going to get a shit-ton of fanart about this, like what with the Marvel buy out?

 

[randomwab]

Wait, what about Indiana Jones? Is that Lucasfilm? Do Disney now own him?

 

[Randdalf]

Whoa, what, when, how, why what? Will Lucas keep control on Star Wars?

 

[TheKaeptain]

I'm amazed Lucas is actually cashing out. Never thought it would ever happen.

Didn't he recently say he wanted to do smaller more personal films? This means he could do that and his baby is left in great hands.

 

[Interfectum]

So will JJ Abrams and Joss Whedon have a battle to the death to decide who gets to direct Episode 7?

 

[Marty Chinn]

Three things....

1) Does this mean Disney also owns Indiana Jones? I wasn't sure if that property was co-owned or soley owned by Lucas.

2) Does this mean we will never ever have another change added to any of the first six movies again?

3) Does that mean Cartoon Network loses the amazing Clone Wars series?

 

[x-Lundz-x]

In the thread title you need to put Episode 7 info!

 

[Edmond Dantès]

You forgot Harry Potter

And Lord of the Rings.

 

[Clay Davis]

I'm in shock. the announcement of a new star wars movie is earth shattering. I really, really hope it's based on the expanded universe books.

thrawn trilogy. please do it disney, please.

 

[acheron_xl]

How long until we see Vader on SportsCenter?

 

[VertPin]

 

[Rawket Lawnchair]

Milk it baby.

 

[GCX]

I guess Lucas will be doing his garage movies in a 4 billion dollar garage.

 

[Air]

Cartoon Network am crai

They're doing perfectly fine with their current line-up.

 

[lazybones18]

Well I'll be damned

 

[SephCast]

Star Wars Marvel Crossovers?

 

[TAJ]

I hope ILM is in the deal too. Having a special effects wing that did their best movies (pirates, iron man/avengers) would be golden.

The history of studio-owned effects houses is... not good.
Off the top of my head I can think of at least three effects houses that Disney alone has driven into the ground and closed.

 

[HarryDemeanor]

Wait...

Wait a minute....

WAIT WHAT?

Holy shit. Episode 7! Please be good. Please be good.

 

[MDSLKTR]

LEGENDARY

 

[Candeldandel]

Uhhhhhhh wat?

What? What? What the hell! Holy shit! I have no other way to respond to this save profanities! I'm shocked! What's gonna happen?? I'm so confused!

 

[speculawyer]

Whatever. Star Wars was dead to me at this point and Harrison Ford is too old to play Indy.

 

[ElRenoRaven]

HOLY FUCKING SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just got texted this by my sister and wow. I really don't know what to think. Hopefully this means Disney will release the original trilogy without all of the changes old Georgie made.

 

[Effect]

Wow. Just wow. I know Lucas said he was done and was pretty much retiring. I guess Disney is the best choice if someone was going to buy. Both Marvel and now Star Wars.

 

[Salmonax]

Didn't he recently say he wanted to do smaller more personal films?

He's been saying that forever.

 

[Sponge]

WAIT A MINUTE.

If Clone Wars is still gonna get renewed does this mean it'd getting moved to Disney XD?

 

[the chris]

Good, now my Kingdom Hearts/Marvel/Star Wars crossover is one step closer to becoming reality.

 

[SteveWinwood]

Dark and mature lolololololol

 

[Raptor]

EPISODE 7!!!!

PLEASE DISNEY DON'T LET LUCAS DIRECT!!

OH DAMN!!

 

[Nesotenso]

First Marvel now this.

Well Marvel is gonna make them a lot of money.

 

[HarryDemeanor]

How long until we see Vader on SportsCenter?

"So how bad was that New York Jets game? Is it Tebow Time in New York?"

 

[FlutterPuffs]

So will JJ Abrams and Joss Whedon have a battle to the death to decide who gets to direct Episode 7?

I'm sure there's a battle royale going on at this very moment, while Spielberg and Lucas oversees the situation with a solemn look on their faces.

 

[Takao]

They're doing perfectly fine with their current line-up.

Disney XD is catching up to them very fast in viewership.

 

[Pie and Beans]

Did Disney really... need to do this? I guess John Carter was such an unforgiveable flop it kept someone awake and insane long enough to buy Star Wars to fill that gaping void?

Do they also own Indiana Jones now too? Fucking hell.

 

[IdreamofHIME]

C'm on, get Whedon off Avengers 2 and put him on the new SW!!

Oh, the possibilities. So many other directors I'd love to have a go at a SW movie -- Peter Jackson, Guillermo del Toro ) My inner fanboy goes crazy with the possibilities!

The irony of Firefly being canned and then putting him in charge of Star Wars would be delicious.
What's FOX announced for 2015? Put SW7 directly against their biggest hitter and watch them implode.

 

[Radogol]

Whaaaaaaat?

 

[Mushroomer25]

Had this been announced prior to the release of Episode 1, I can only imagine the fan outrage.

Now? If Disney gets the right people on it (For the love of God, let Lucas only be an executive producer.) - this might be good.

 

[TacticalFox88]

So in 2015 we have....

Avengers 2


A potential Justice League movie


Star Wars Episode VII


Ant-Man


Woooooooow

 

[robertsan21]

For this film to be any good, it has to focus on us adults.
keep the story very mature, dark and no flashy shit, like dancing with lightsabers as we had in the prequels. Keep the lightsaber duels simple like we had in ep 4,5 and 6.

I would love if they focused on a side story within the star wars universe. some new planets and characters we have not seen before. do it fresh from scratch.

 

[Liquidsnake]

They announced an Episode 7? Is this real? Let it die already, guys.

Let die a billion dollar franchise? I am glad you are not in charge.

 

[Starsunder]

Holy fucking SHIT.

Is..is this real life?

 

[GDGF]

WoW.
