Holy shit. Disney will be unstoppable. They have already so many franchises. POTC, Pixar, Disney animation, Marvel IP. Damn unstoppable. Good for them.

 

[Big Baybee]

Signing his dream away...

LMAO! Ahahahaha!

 

[inm8num2]

Now we can get that Jar Jar backstory we've been craving all these years.

 

[BattleMonkey]

This is massive

 

[ScreenSplitter]

PLEASE DON'T BE A REMAKE. PLEASE DON'T BE A REMAKE. (- annoying cut and paste).

I would totally go and see a remade prequel trilogy written by someone who's actually done writing before.

"In 2015, we're planning to release Star Wars Episode 7 – the first feature film under the "Disney-Lucasfilm" brand. That will be followed by Episodes 8 and 9 – and our long term plan is to release a new Star Wars feature film every two to three years."

3 NEW EPISODES?!

 

[Y2Kev]

WATWATWATWATWAT

 

[fallengorn]

Does this mean we'll get the regular editions on blu-ray?

 

[Biggest-Geek-Ever]

So Avengers 2 and Episode 7 out in the same year? Disney is going to rule the world in 2015.

 

[Salvor.Hardin]

Christ he really doesn't look happy about it

 

[Mr. RHC]

Interesting! At first I was like, aha, Disney buying stuff. This could turn out interesting!

 

[Dabanton]

Signing his dream away...

Nope. Cashing out a winner.

 

[Game-Biz]

Johnny Depp has Han Solo. Calling it.

I'll take it. And have Harrison Ford play his father.

 

[Shard]

Signing his dream away...

I am reminded of Citizen Kane here.

 

[ruxtpin]

Georgie... Don't break my heart again.

My feelings are softer than sand.

 

[Blablurn]

Signing his dream away...

he sold out man, he sold out!

 

[injurai]

One step closer to having one Unified publisher of all content.

 

[Edmond Dantès]

Disney should acquire the rights to Middle-earth (Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit), then they'll have the fantasy genre all sewn up.

 

[Branduil]

Probably, but we will probably have to suffer with the shitty Disney box art.

At this point they could package it in old newspaper.

 

[slightconfuse]

ILM and Pixar possible collaboration .

Omg

 

[SpeedySwaf]

Now they just need to buy Capcom and Hasbro, and then they'll be getting money from just about every geek or nerd in existence.

 

[Kud Dukan]

So Avengers 2 and Episode 7 out in the same year? Disney is going to rule the world in 2015.

Holy shit...that summer will be insane.

 

[Warm Machine]

Wait they must have scripts already right?

They must. Imagine it is a summer 2015 film, you can't mount and release a Star Wars film in that short of time. Especially one that establishes a new time line for a trilogy with all new production design.

 

[TheKaeptain]

I don't even know how to feel about this.

What the hell is Star Wars 7 going to be?

"I'm just afraid of placing an extra one on his shoulders. Suppose I named him Obi-Wan, as a salute to my old master? Would he think that means that I want him to grow up to be a Jedi? Would he think he had to live up to Ben's reputation?"

[DrForester]

Star Was Holiday Special original print immediately rushed to vault and put next to Song of the South.

 

[Game-Biz]

Christ he really doesn't look happy about it

Probably right after his last black hair fell. Just according to ritual.

 

[-Eddman-]

Dear Disney:

Please put an end to the nonsense and release good HD versions of the ORIGINAL, non vandalized, episodes IV, V and VI.

Love

Me.

So, now Disney owns their IP, plus Marvel and Lucasfilm? what's next, Nintendo?

 

[Weenerz]

So they own Indiana Jones too? Jebus.

 

[bill0527]

This, along with the announcement of new Star Wars films, is fucking huge.

I am really and truly dumbfounded why the internet is shitting all over this.

The franchise is in the doldrums, the last 3 movies weren't very good, and it can only get better from here.

 

[Dabanton]

One step closer to having one Unified publisher of all content.

Which should give people the shivers.

 

[Branduil]

3 NEW EPISODES?!

Always three there are. No more, no less.

 

[Frustrated_Grunt]

If they're going to fuck it up, I want them to fuck it up bad. Like cast Rob Schneider as Han Solo. Or Nicholas cage as a bounty hunter or something.

 

[Cjdamon042]

This is hilarious haha

Totally out of the blue. I'm not sure what to expect to be honest. As much as it could potentially be terrible, it will be cool seeing a new Star Wars film in cinemas.

 

[Altazor]

OH GOSH.

DON'T LET GEORGE LUCAS ANYWHERE NEAR EPISODE 7.

FUCK.

 

[jaxword]

One step closer to having one Unified publisher of all content.

Which is a really, really bad thing in the long run.

 

[GuitarAtomik]

This is ridiculocrazy. I'm kind of excited at the thought of new Lucas-less Star Wars movies. But seriously. This is nuts.

 

[Schadenfreude]

Signing his dream away...

He almost looks sad about the whole thing. You guys think 4 billion dollars might help with that?

 

[blahness]

Dear Disney:

Please put an end to the nonsense and release good HD versions of the ORIGINAL, non vandalized, episodes IV, V and VI.

Love

Me.

So, now Disney owns their IP, plus Marvel and Lucasfilm? what's next, Nintendo?

Dont forget they own the Muppets

 

[TacticalFox88]

Guys, think THINK!


Tetsuya Nomura can LEGALLY now bring the Galactic Empire to the Kingdom Hearts verse.

Keybladers vs Jedi vs Sith


O_______________O

 

[gofreak]

o_0

My mind is blown.

 

[JCreasy]

So Disney has now Pixar and ILM.

Woah.

Whoa indeed

. . .

whoa

 

[MetatronM]

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

 

[Air]

It all started with a mouse. I wonder if they would be as big if Disney didn't get screwed out of losing Oswald the lucky rabbit. They have a mighty huge kingdom indeed.

 

[eternalb]

So Disney owns possibly the two most lucrative non-Cameron owned franchises in Hollywood? Holy shit.

You forgot Harry Potter

 

[RichardAM]

God damn.

Megaton, seriously. Disney own everything confirmed.

 

[DrForester]

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

Dicking over fans got to be too much for him.

 

[DrEvil]

Signing his dream away...

You can see what's left of his soul leaving his body in this photograph.

 

[mrklaw]

Small window of opportunity to press for an untouched OT, remastered


How much does Lucas get out of this?

 

[Leckan]

Lol they're making more Star Wars episodes.

I thought the saga was finished? Then again when there is money there are no objects I guess.
