Why?, I mean, 4 billion dollars, yeah, but he already had more money than he could ever spend. Oh, well, he already ruined the franchise for me with episodes 1-3, so how much worse could it get. Though I'd rather just let it stay dormant than see the Disney-ification of Star Wars.

Id only be ok with it, if he had some creative control. why we got so many starwars spoofs n spin off, Lucas doesn't sue everyone, he supports fan based work.
I also have faith with Kathleen Kennedy in the head office. She's been behind a lot of great films ( the Indiana Jones films to name a few) and George never would have put her there if she was incompetent...
they will not make the next movies any better, it will be toned down poltical correct stuff like they did with ET.
The next movies should be the chronical of Vadar, where he lets lose and kills everything in sight.
like feeding Tuskin Raiders into the Sarlacc one at a time, or other fun ways for him to kill them in revenge...
The original plan was to do a prequel trilogy and a sequel trilogy. George backed out of the sequel because he didn't think he would be around long enough. I have to imagine that we'll see the sequel which is suppose to be about rebuilding the republic and the repopulation of the Jedi...
George made a smart move, and Disney an even smarter one.
Disney is such a great company and Lucas is still their as a creative writer to make sure the story doesn't die out...There is so much merchandise and lore behind star wars that this series will probably never die out and Disney will be making money for a very very long time.
Plus Lucas made literal billions from these movies and this deal...
I say he made the right choice and Disney made an even better one...

Irony is that Lucas wrote star wars but only allowed the movie industry the privilege of getting the last three books as he wanted complete control with the first three. He just didn't have the money to do it on his own at the time. Now he has sold them to Disney, Rather you like Disney or not have to admit its a good purchase on their behalf. George has always been a bit paranoid about his demise but I think he is really looking out for what is best with his company. It takes a lot of energy and effort to run a billion dollar franchise. I think he knows that he is not in position to keep it going for another 30 years or more. I can only hope that if a 7 comes out that it will stay true to the first six movies.

Agreed, Kathleen Kennedy was already a BIG part of Lucasfilms, this will be a smooth transition

I disagree. Episode I, II, III did exactly what Lucas wanted them to do, and appealed to exactly who he wanted them to appeal to.

The problem with that is there is already hundreds of books, published by lucasbooks and sanctioned by Lucas, that tell the story for 50 years after episode IV.
IMO Episode 7 has already been written

Lucas cashed out, he's old and this way, if the movie fails or is hated by the masses he can say, "not my fault, blame disney"

Why is everybody associating disney with montage songs and those kids from the Disney channel anyway? Iron Man, Avengers, Amazing Spiderman, Pirates were all nice movies.
Disney needs to drop the politically correct bull S@@t.
I mean, obviously when you look at their Disney star alumni, there must be some crazy stuff going on behind the scenes.
Let that craziness out on the screen and I will appreciate them...
Meh. The original series were ahead of their time & remained timeless classics even today. The remakes, with a few extra characters, were like buying a DVD with 'bonus material'. Of course, making an original episode today (not a remake from the original three) is OK because it's erm, original... but CGI is way different to that 'analogue' feel of the 70's films. That's what made them special - they really were futuristic, before advanced computing.
I don't see what the problem is. Disney is Pixar, Beuna Vista, et al. The originals were a bit of a fluke because of how epic & timeless they were, & the time they came out. Now it's about CGI so there's no fluke, no amazing feat to pull off, but it will still appeal to sci-fi fans.
Actually, I don't know if anybody remembers that Disney has done more "adult oriented" films through production companies like Touchstone. There are other companies that I can't rembmer off hand, but Disney has made attempts to non-family films through other avenues...
The problem with that is there is already hundreds of books, published by lucasbooks and sanctioned by Lucas, that tell the story for 50 years after episode IV.
True, so that wouldn't stop them from fitting the sequels into that storyline, or going beyond the 50 years. Consider that most of the principal actors are getting old and it would be harder to try to create films in the existing universe without intoducing new faces for existing characters. Unless movie technology advances to the point of an exact CGI and voice replica of existing characters (which I'm sure is on the horizon).
Of course as I write this, it never occured to me that they could jump back beyond the existing universe ala "knights of the old republic" i.e. the video game franchise. So many possibilites, so much money to burn on the production costs...
Disney is as suit happy as Apple. If you have collectable Star Wars figures from the 80s
and try to sell, I wouldn't put it past Disney to confiscate them.
It's a good deal, who wouldn't sell?
When I heard about that, I had a great pain in my heart.
Still, I'm looking forward for the new movies.
What a paradoxical feeling.

I'd agree with all of those, except Pirates. Pirates 1 was good. I didn't exactly like the fact that the pirates were undead, but it didn't ruin the movie for me. The second one was OK. The sequential pirate movies, especially the third one, really turned me off from the franchise and all I could see was "cash cow". Which is why the Disney acquisition of LucasFilm scares me. Imagine Johnny Depp as Han Solo? Or a Jedi? No thanks!

I don't think they will. (Note that I am a big fan of KOTOR) KOTOR is more about exploring the force and learning about how it effects everything. Less so about the space and lightsabre battles. Yes, the space and lightsabre battles contribute a significant amount to KOTOR, but to make a movie out of it? I'd have mixed feelings.
Now, if you want to use a spin-off series that would be good and not involve the characters of episodes 4-6, then you could easily do the story of Kyle Kataarn. Video gamers know him as the guy in the Dark Forces / Jedi Knight series. I believe there are a number of books about him, too.
Has anyone seen Lucas in an interview recently? He's getting to be that age where he's no longer willing to give all of his various enterprises the 110% that they need. Better to sell it to an organization that has some experience in preserving films and characters that are thought of as national treasures, plus the resources to keep his technology up to date.
If Lucas died tomorrow and left everything to his kids, would that be better?

Oh yeah, I meant the first. Did not really like the third one all in all, and I haven't seen the fourth. But anyway, JD is a good actor IMO and he can portray a Jedi if he wants to. I mean he has had more serious acting roles before and did well. Or Disney can cast him as a Jar Jar type of character. LOL.
I have to imagine that the contract for the sale will be really long and involved. It will probably have clauses that will give George (and maybe people from his circle of trust) some kind of creative input or control of the franchise going forward. As long as he is still alive, he could be penning the stories for the upcoming movies.
That makes me think that the upcoming movie(s) would be sequels. His original plan was for a third trilogy set of sequels, and since George wanted to tell the story his way, he might stay the course...

As long as Disney brings back Jar Jar Binks, it's OK with me. Perhaps they could find a role for Buzz Lightyear in a future Star Wars movie as well. Wasn't Pixar originally started by Lucas Film, before the late Steve Jobs got involved with it?

It was.

Well it appears that it's shaping up to be a sequel. They've named Michael Arndt as the screenwritter for EP7 and there's talk that Mark Hamill, Carrie Fischer, and Harrison Ford may be interested in jumping on board.
Maybe the Empire will go back in time and use red matter to destroy Tatooine to try to knock off the younger Skywalker - but then Solo, who had been on a diplomatic mission to Naboo to broker a final peace with the trade alliance, was stranded but later caught up with the young Skywalker by going through the event horizon and told him how to find the boyhood Solo and and get Chewbacca out of the way as captain so he could eventually take over the Millennium Falcon and then...

Oh.
Wait.
ROFLMAO...
But you forgot that Captain Kirk will show up with toupee in hand to save the day...
