Not a big fan of Disney mostly because of their role in various intellectual property rights-related cases (perpetual copyright extensions, etc...), their strong-arming tactics (going after day cares that had unlicensed artwork, etc...), the "Disneyfication" and then later aggressive protection of everything (take public domain stories, characters, etc, "Disneyfy" them, then aggressively protect -- much of Disney's best-known stories, works, characters, etc... are not Disney inventions but were taken from public domain, historical, cultural works, and so forth and "Disneyfied".)

That said, that's a problem with the way the company operates rather than any problem with any creative folks who happen to work there.

So yes, it will be interesting to see where this goes.

we can all expect a star wars 8 because disney just loves to milk the living shit out of sequels

i'm expecting absolute filth and a bitchslap to the starwars franchise because
1) disney's strong point really isn't sci-fi
2) see point 1

Well, there's supposed to be 9 movies, brahs. It's always been said once Star Wars blew up that there would be 9.

That said, I agree with Kiwi: The best movies were the ones where he had minimal influence (the first 3), where he basically just got all the credit. The prequels where he was active were horrifying.

It'd be cool if Disney pulled from the SW extended universe though. Lots of crazy shit.

Unlikely because 7-9 will most likely happen after Return of the Jedi and Death Troopers took place a couple of years before A New Hope.

Wow, where to start. Well, let's see... he created Star Wars, wrote the story, came up with the characters, wrote, directed/did all the of work for the first movie with his own studio, set up the company which did all the ground-breaking special effects for it, financed the second movie by himself, and directed large portions of the third movie all while having full creative control over the series where nothing went past him. He wasn't credited as director on episodes V and VI but that doesn't mean he wasn't a big influence. The prequels were horrifying I grant that, but that's because Lucas had lost it by then.


I'm actually pretty excited to see how the new Star Wars will turn out. I reckon Disney will make a pretty good job of it as they've done with other series whereas I dread to think if it was solely by Lucas again.
