Tuesday, October 30: Star Wars is now owned by Disney.
Just like Pixar and Marvel, Lucasfilm has now joined the Disney entertainment family. What does this mean? Disney CEO Robert Iger says that they will expand on the franchise, aggressively. We can expect a new Star Wars film to be released every two or three years, starting with Star Wars Episode VII in 2015.
Yeah, thats right: Episode VII!
Now, before you get your jimmies all rustled, lets think about what happened when Disney bought Marvel. Everyone was saying how bad it would be, they will make them more childish, its gonna suck, blablabla. Well that was not the case. In fact we got Avengers! How great was that huh.
Yes, Star Wars is one of those things that many of us hold dear to our hearts, and any change is met with resistance, but I say we sit back and see what happens. I for one am waiting for the screening of all Star Wars Movies leading up to the Premier of VII, 12+ of sitting in a theater watching awesome movies.
Here is the video announcement, hearing it from George Lucas himself might help you guys take in the news.
