    Oh, Mark.

    Your hard-on for RDJ is beautiful.

    I understand. I absolutely, completely and totally understand.

    As for the other matter, I'm going to reserve the brunt of my judgement/praise for when there's more concrete information on the impending film and/or I actually see the resulting product.

    My kids love the Tinkerbell movies, btw. They're decent.

    Besides, we know Pixar were the ones that took over Disney and are running the show now. The thought of Brad Bird doing Star Wars just made me pee my pants in excitement a little bit.
    Pixar's last two films were seen as disappointments by many (most?). Not to mention Disney is still producing films like the new Tinkerbell flick.

    I haven't seen Brave, but I had heard it is a very good movie and it did get pretty good reviews. At least Brave is original unlike Cars 2. Cars 2 is to me their only big mistake. I think if they treat Star Wars like the Marvel movies they will be in good shape.

    Ah but wait, there's also the man crush on Tom Hiddleson, whom I think would be a truly wonderful Sith Lord.

    And of course Scarlett Johnassen as Mara Jade. OMG. SOMEONE MAKE THIS HAPPEN!

    That or Christina Hendricks.

    I would sooooooo hump the screen if Christina Hendricks was in black skintight leather with a lightsabre. I have enough trouble not humping the TV when she's in Mad Men. Cause lets face it, if there's an ass that would look hotter in leather than Scarlett, it's Christina. Let alone the cleavage.

    Excuse me, I need a seriously cold shower because Christina's boobs in leather is just too much for my tiny mind to handle.

    Seriously though, I think this is great news. GL as a creative consultant instead of directing and writing the script, it works for animated series Clone Wars, and see no reason it would not work for episode 7-9.

    It is a good day for SW fans, because you know Disney will make the most out of the franchise. I look forward to see the next TV series, movies, Disneyworld rides etc.

    I'm a little suprised that no apparently thinks they'll base the movie(s) off the X-wing series. Although, to be honest that series would be better as an animated series, IMO.

    Although, if they wanted to get the original actors back into action without too much makeup, they could just have Episodes 7, 8, and 9 all be about the New Jedi Order series.

    Park,, I like that idea. I loved the X-Wing books--especially Wraith Squadron and Iron Fist.

    I think Disney being in charge of Star Wars will do good things for it. I'd like to see a wider variety of television and movies concerning the Star Wars universe. But if they did reboot any of the old movies, they'd better stick to redoing Episodes 1, 2, and 3. I enjoyed the prequel trilogy, but they were received very poorly by a grand majority of people. All I know is, if Disney were to reboot the OT, they'd better be prepared for the torches and pitchforks as the angry mob storms the Disney Castle to unleash their fury.

    In an interview Lucas did refer to his 7,8 and 9 script ideas and the EU books when he was talking about the future as a pool of inspiration for them to draw upon for future films. I do not want to see a recast or re-vamp of the original but I would kinda like the Eu to have bearing on any new stories. Maybe get a few EU writers in on the planning of this.

    Disney need to get into talks with Capcom for a Marvel vs Star Wars video game. And while we're at it, how about a new Kingdom Hearts game with the two franchises merging with Mickey and Co.

    Wrap this up Lucasfailures.

    Also this is good news and I'm glad they're doing something set in the SW universe. We all love plenty of things that aren't glued to the OT's characters.

    Oh Lawdy be, you just killed my enthusiasm. NJO is the worst crap

    I suspect the ONLY EU writer anyone wants seen near Esp 7 is Zahn.

    I'm going to add Michael Stackpole and then agree with you.

    They could go past the novels too if they run out of material, there's plenty of references about Rogue Squadron being involved in other campaigns from comic books and other material including the Thrawn triology, the hunting down of the remaining Grand Admirals, the Core Campaign, etc.

    As for the movies, if they truly wanted to tie into something that relates to the original plot of Star Wars about Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker, they could base the movies around Jacen Solo, his descent into Darth Caedus, and his eventual redemption, although Anakin Skywalker didn't have a sister that would hunt him down and kill him.

    Episode 7 is going to be an original story, apparently.

    http://uk.eonline.com/news/358685/st...casfilm-source

    So we won't be seeing any characters from the EU, or at least not as we know them. And I'm okay with that.
