ReplyDeleteNooooooooooooooo Please don't let this be true I don't want Disney ruining Star Wars
ReplyDeleteIs it April 1st again? This is absolutely ridiculous, unbelievable and unrealistic.
ReplyDeletewhat wrong with you people?! it's news of the year!
ReplyDeleteBut...just about everything after Episode 6 was covered in the expanded universe novels. Is George going to step on some toes yet again?
ReplyDeletecash cow
ReplyDeletecant wait to see mickey mouse with a light saber not
That is crazy shit. Only want a Star Wars film if Lucas IS not involved.
ReplyDeleteI've made a meme to show how I am feeling: http://www.quickmeme.com/meme/3rkmgg/
ReplyDeleteSo now in the updated version, will Han have just winged Greedo?
ReplyDeletejust read this...wow big move by lucas!
ReplyDeleteLike they've ruined Marvel?
ReplyDeleteIt's his 'verse. And as much as the second trilogy wasn't good, he can do whatever he wants with it.
ReplyDeleteI never said they did but what works for Marvel may not work for Lucasfilm Ltd.
ReplyDeleteit's been rumored for a long time didn't think it would actually happen though but im waiting for details before I judge
ReplyDeleteFrom what I've read, he won't be involved with the new movie. He'll be a consultant but that's pretty much it. It might actually have a shot then.
ReplyDeleteWell Lucas has managed to milk Star Wars for all its worth so why can't Disney?
ReplyDeleteWorst news ever.
ReplyDeleteNot sure how I feel about this. I love the original trilogy, though.
