ADP 0 Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 (edited) http://www.bbc.co.uk...siness-20146942 Disney said it planned to release a new Star Wars film, episode seven, in 2015. That will be followed by episodes eight and nine and then one new movie every two or three years, the company said.

Kid Dynamite 7167 Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 It cost them $4billion so they need. at least 5/6 major blockbusters to break even Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fish 10962 Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 They've done ok with the Marvel stuff, they might get Star Wars back on track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 31195 Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Why not release a few more Star Wars films? The demand is there so they should go for it. They're never going to replicate the feel of the original trilogy but that's not to say they can't do a good job with another set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sammynb 3507 Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 Honestly can Disney fuck it all up any worse than Lucas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew 4855 Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 They've done ok with the Marvel stuff, they might get Star Wars back on track. They've done that by allowing marvel studios to control the films though, letting Lucas do that with Star Wars is a recipe for three more awful films.

Gemmill 45997 Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 There's a bloke just been on BBC News from jedinews.co.uk. Can that be his job do you think? If so it's both impressive (that he's monetised his nerdy hobby) and pathetic (that a site like that can generate enough income to sustain a living for someone). I kind of hope it is his job.

Valid point, I suppose I'm just being hopeful. I'd love to see a Star Wars that has the original films' humour without becoming a self-parodying p.o.s.

Park Life 71 Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 Can't do any worse than the cobblers Lucas was knocking out near the end. It does well to remember that Kirschner directed the best Star Wars film: Empire Strikes Back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 22137 Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 Another rancid turd further tarnishing the original trilogy beckons, I fear. Particularly if Lucas is involved in any way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew 4855 Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 Apparently the next SW wont be written or directed by Lucas, he'll be a "creative consultant" only things are looking up! Have they got Lucas Arts as part of this deal too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Face 29 Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 I love Star Wars, but people are very precious about it aren't they. If Gnomeo and Juliet doesn't put people off Shakespeare I don't see why Jar Jar Binks should spoil The Empire Strikes back for anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruler of Planet Houston 1 Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 Indeed! The first 3 (70's) films were cracking and still are as long as you stay away from the remastered shit with digital space ships and jabba bollocks. I prefer to think of the newer 3 films as having nowt to do with star wars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJS 4411 Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 Even the first three were blighted in the end by the fucking ewoks - as well as the happy ending. Them all dying would have been too much but no major characters apart from Vader? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tooner 243 Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 (edited) nothing to do with star wars? Just the explaination of where the empire came from, what happened to the jedi, how luke and leia ended up where they were. I agree that they were shittier than the originals but they did well in explaining the sequence of events that led to the originals. I think GL got sidetracked by trying to make the movies have more .....i'm at a loss to explain it, he fucked em up for sure. personally i will go and see all of them, i was 6 when the orginal came out and it made me into a life-long fan, you kidding me flying cars and light sabers!

Alex 35567 Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 Like the originals but I've only seen The Phantom Menace of the new ones. I didn't hate it, I just thought it was a bit 'meh' really and it felt like a kid's film, as opposed to the other ones which are the sort of thing I could enjoy as a bairn but also my Dad liked at the time (and I still like as I've grown up). The whole Star Wars nerdy subculture isn't really my bag like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
