I'm lazy and didn't read the article or many posts. So, question time. Does Disney get the toy rights? How much per year does/did Lucas make off the toys/merchandising? $4 billion sounds low to me for the sale.Comment

I'm sure 7,8,and 9 will take place generations after Luke and Leia. I have no desire to see Carrie Fisher in gold depends. And Harrison Ford would get an Oscar for acting like he wanted to hit that.

I was just glad to see that Lucas will not have full creative control only consulting power finally someone can tell him an idea is bad and not fear for their job.Comment

What about Indiana Jones? Disney already has the Indy show and produces toys & theme park merchandise.Comment

I think JL is a given. WB will find a way to mess this up.
Disney says they are not following the expanded universe of comics and novels so it'll be interesting to see what direction they go. Hopefully they leave all the Jedi stuff behind cause what's more boring than uptight, moralistic dudes in brown robes? I think that was the major problem with the prequels, too much emphasis on Jedis and not on others. Why does Han Solo remain the most popular SW character? He's funny and a jerk. Those are not Jedi traits.I almost had a psychic girlfriend but she dumped me before we met.

Could see Depp cast as Gavin Darklighter if they were to go the X-wing Rogue Squadron route.Comment

Apparently, Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher were told by GL about the SW continuation as long ago as last year!
From Yahoo:
Mark Hamill has said that he knew about the plans to make a series of 'Star Wars' sequels as long ago as last year.
The Luke Skywalker actor said that both he and Carrie Fisher, who played Princess Leia, met with George Lucas to discuss the plans.
But he says that he did not know anything about the planned deal between Lucasfilm and Disney.
“Last August, he asked Carrie and I to have lunch with him and we did,” he told Entertainment Weekly.
“I thought he was going to talk about either his retirement or the 'Star Wars' TV series that I’ve heard about - or the 3-D releases.
“So when he said, 'We decided we’re going to do Episodes VII, VIII, and IX,' I was just gobsmacked. 'What? Are you nuts?!'
“[Lucas] was just talking about writers and the fact that he wouldn’t be directing. I guess he wanted us to know before everybody else knew. He said, ‘Now you can’t tell anybody!’ Even now I’m nervous about saying anything. I just don’t know!”
Hamill, who may or may not have a role in the forthcoming films, added that he's come round to the idea.
“I can see both sides of it. Because in a way, there was a beginning, a middle, and an end and we all lived happily ever after and that’s the way it should be - and it’s great that people have fond memories, if they do have fond memories.
“But on the other hand, there’s this ravenous desire on the part of the true believers to have more and more and more material. It’s one of those things: people either just don’t care for it or are passionate about it. I guess that defines what cult movies are all about. We’ll see.”PUNY HUMANS!Comment

Sadly Justice League will most likely be a dud if WB continues what their doing.
I could see the original actors in the new SW BUT as other characters. If not, theres no way around scripting it around their age.Comment

New adventures oF Han, Luke and Leia intrigue me. Not as interested in adaptions of the comics or novels. I want new stories. I'll still see it if it's about other characters or adapts existing material, but I'll just gripe and moan about it for 3 years.

There's a rumor going around about Disney aquiring Hasbro. That one I'm taking with a grain of salt since Hasbro now has the Star Trek license.Comment
