Newsflash! Disney buys out LucasFilm

[Sothis]

When it comes to how this affects canon, I couldn't care less, but in terms of quality... well, I fear for the damage to the franchise. Does Star Wars need 7 8 and 9? I don't think so. 1-6 tell a complete story, and the decision to make new films smacks of nothing more than a desire to make money. Greed will kill the franchise.

you're aware originally it was supposedly going to be 12 films telling one story, right? what's wrong with the original idea? just because lucas got bored doesn't mean it SHOULD stick to 6 films, 12 was his freaking idea in the first place. also, greed is the reason the franchise EXISTS. given that before he came up with the whole 'it will be 12 films, the first one is the fourth chapter' idea, the idea was for ONE movie which was simply an homage to another, different movie, and tESB was created because the potential for profit was too enormous to ignore and lucas didn't even come up with the storyline, i would say greed has been part and parcel from day one.

In fact it's quite a good thing, but as long as talent is there, we can cope with the reality of movies being done for money.
Lucas just didn't have the talent anymore. He probably never did beyond ANH in fact, without Marquand's help.

Disney's movies, at least, are more or less good enough to watch, perhaps at time exciting (and I do love the new Tron even more after each viewing... yeah, each viewing, meaning that I do love the movie).

It's true that Disney can produce good movies- BUT, they have a patchy record with sci-fi (John Carter springs to mind). I think, if they can bring on board the teams responsible for The Avengers or POTC, then the Star Wars films stand a chance. If not...

Hey, don't worry. It's not like they'll get the guys from "The Black Hole" to work on this.

i kind of liked the black hole in that really cheesy sci-fi kind of way.
the novelization was hilariously stupid, too.
