Disney buying Lucasfilm, Star Wars Episode 7 movie coming in 2015!

[DasTex]

Well there is some speculation out there that Brad Bird and Lindelof (of course Abrams included) have a titled project called 1952 which has been held in secret and appears Disney has MASSIVE plans for marketing on this one.

There are reports from 2011 on this new project but everyone expected it to be for the supposed date in 1952 when UFO's were said to have flown over DC?

In a purchase this big by Disney, it's not hard to see that they might have been planning long ago for this...

and just for those who love Abrams hidden gems:

1952

19 = Episodes 1-9

5+2: Episode 7

5+2+1: Episode 8

9: Episode 9

I'm sure it's been in the pipelines for a few months and it goes a long way towards explaining why they decided to rush the timetable on the 3-D releases of Episodes 1-6.

You can take any 4 digit number and find a way to make it appear to be a "code" for Episodes 7, 8 and 9.

0000 - Have at it

They're huge SW fans, make good shows and movies so Id be fine with them doing it.

That's not a 4 digit number, that's a 1 digit number because it is improper to write it the way you did.

and you could easily have cut out half the last one, I kept saying ok I know you have to take a whizz but it is almost over, then there was another scene, etc, finally I just said screw it, I am going to the precious one, the can.

He cut out a large portion of the last one. There was quite a bit of story about the hobbits returning to their homes in the book. And if you knew the first two movies were long, why would you expect the third one not to be the same? Plan ahead and most guides and previews tell you the running time of a movie. No excuse not to be prepared when going into a movie.

 

[Rogah]

Don't want Peter Jackson, his Lord of the Rings movies were too long.

There is absolutely no such thing as a great movie being "too long." And those LOTR movies were great movies.

If anything, the original theatrical releases were too short. The expanded versions added significant scenes which made those movies even better. The Death of Saruman comes to mind.

Nothing can prepare you for having to take a major leak.

Other than a previously applied catheter. I'd rather miss part of the movie though.

The more Star Wars the better. I don't care what anyone says. And people close to Lucas say it was supposed to be a 12 part story to the saga. So even this sequel trilogy won't be the end.

Bring it!

I keep reading Hamill is a lock for this upcoming trilogy, I hope so!

Get yer stinkin LOTR talk out of this thread!

I agree though, the LOTR trilogy is great....

Nothing will ever top the original Star Wars trilogy.

A Neill Blomkamp-directed Star Wars would be incredible.

I think the original was a bit campy, which made sense for the time but wouldn't work to the same degree today. I think it can be improved upon, but I don't want to see them do a remake. I'd rather see an expansion of the story.

A Neill Blomkamp-directed Star Wars would be incredible.

I want to see Elysium before I agree completely, but that's not a bad call.

Rumor is that Matthew Vaughan will be directing, and this is the primary reason he dropped out of the X-men prequel sequel (wow -- that's actually what the X-men movie is -- a sequel to a prequel).

While I did like Episode III, I didn't see anything 'slow' about the way Anakin turned to the Dark Side.

If anything, it felt rushed to me.

Rushed because Lucas felt the need to spend part I of the trilogy with 'kid Anakin', essentially wasting any chance for character development in that film.

And he spent Episodes II and III rushing through the process because of it.

Just my opinion anyway.

And this is part of the reason why I feel even better that it's now essentially out of his hands.

I think you're spot on.

What was cool about 2 and 3 was that the Jedi are a lot more visible. Maybe it hurts the overall feel you get from III, IV, and V, where the Jedi are kind of this mystical group of heroes :laugh2: but it was fun to watch them in battle.

Just like the most recent Star Wars movies. They were sequels to prequels.

or they might be prequels to the sequels.
