Disney aquire Lucasfilm for $4BN

STAR WARS: EPISODE 7 feature film targeted for release in 2015.

Didn't see that coming

This came out of nowhere but it's a good thing a DAM good thing it means hopefully no George Lucas involvement in the SW franchise and allowing decent people to direct.

I can see a million directors clammering for the oppurtunity.

Can't wait siimply because they cannot fuck it up any more than Lucas did. Maybe a new Indy flick too?

Bugger you beat me to it.

As disney pretty much own everything now, hopefully they'll reconsider the hasbro licenses too

Shadows of the empire should be made in to a film too. I don't know how they'd do it but it needs to be made.

I can't believe some fanboys are against the idea. GL is doing fuck all with the license and treats SW fans with contempt, yet they think Disney will screw it up - stupids cunts don't realise that you can't fuck thin air

I can't believe the internet has managed to survive the news

It won't just cover star wars (although that is why Disney wanted it), come on Disney with the PotC franchise on its last legs the time is perfect for a Willow revival

Its never time for a willow revival. Or howard the duck and indiana jones before you start

You're not thinking about a THX 1138 reboot are you?

No. I wouldn't say no to a battle for endor reboot though

Only if all the furry little buggers die

You hurt my soul

I just had a row outside with some trick or treator's dad. I've got my insurance policy by the door now

They're creepy like a furry little, well you can guess the rest.

I had a large group of Trick or Treaters turn up yesterday, I told them to come back today, do you think they have, I've now got a big tub of poison candy to get rid of.

Is that Jimmy saville in the costume?

Answer the door naked, just holding the tub and see what happens.

I refuse to answer that question on the grounds of taste & decency.

I get assaulted probably, that or arrested.

I'll take that as yes then

You can borrow my crowbar if you want?

You haven't got a taser I could borrow instead, I promise not to use it on blind stroke victims, honest.

If I did you could have it. Perhaps you might make them be able to see again.

I wonder if disney would ever try to buy hasbro?

Buying Hasbro would be a smart move it'd give them Transformers, GI Joe & Dungeons & Dragons.

Disney buy Hasbro? Now there's a thought

Hmmm. Star Wars figures at every Disney store.
A plus...

Figures are now $12 a piece.

A minus...

Hopefully they won't use the same dude who did John Carter. I saw it earlier and I have food poisoning - I know which one I prefer.

I think you put it this in the wrong thread.

I also don't think you have any worries there.

Its in the right thread. You're on the wrong website

Fuck, I hate it when that happens

You need to lay off the roofies its addling your brains

I told you before this isn't the midget on midget porn forum fox.

IMF John Carter is pure arse *shudders*

There is a rumour i just spotted on digital spy that Matthew Vaughan may be asked to direct but I think it's probably bollocks/
