Disney buying Lucasfilm, Star Wars Episode 7 movie coming in 2015!
Disney buying Lucasfilm, will release new 'Star Wars' movie in 2015
Walt Disney Co. is buying Lucasfilm in a $4 billion deal that brings the best-selling "Star Wars" franchise under the Disney umbrella, with plans to release Episode 7 of the long-running saga in 2015.
Disney has long had a close relationship with closely held Lucasfilm and founder George Lucas, including featured attractions at Disney theme parks such as Star Tours at Disney's Hollywood Studios in Florida.
"It's now time for me to pass 'Star Wars' on to a new generation of filmmakers," said Lucas, 68, in a statement.
The cash and stock deal is valued at about $4.05 billion, Disney said. Lucasfilm is solely owned by George Lucas.

Mmm. Pixar does Star Wars. I'd love that.
We need wins, and that's all we need. I don't give a damn about anyone on this roster over wins. I'd trade Ware, Lee and Dez if it meant more wins.

I'm not sure I'm very excited about this.

Did you know there are only 5000 Snow Leopards in the wild now and they are confined to Central Asia? However, the effective global population (those likely to reproduce) is less than half that number.

The best part is that George Lucas won't be making the new movies. He'll be a creative consultant, but not producer/writer/director.
Star Wars is a great idea with wonderful characters, but the more direct control over each of the movies Lucas had, the worse they were.

Not just a 7th movie, but an 8th and 9th as well. Please, All That Is Holy, don't let these suck as much as the last three did.

They should stick to the books on the next movies.
Lucas started on that downward slide when he went to the stupid Ewoks.
Man I remember sitting in the theater for Return of the Jedi and the movie starts of so great Luke does the bounce of the diving board to getting the saber cutting people down just freakin awesome. Princes Leia chocking out Jaba the Hut. Then they go from all that to Ewoks

On the money here.
Great news that we'll be getting Episode 7. Even better that someone other than Lucas will be directing it.
