Oh dear god I hope not. Three more films I could probably handle but three more after that, not so sure.

Here is to hoping they let a decent director do it, I think Matthew Vaughn could do a good job.

Here's my thoughts:

I don't think Disney buying the star wars franchise is such a bad thing. After watching episode 3 in theatres, i got a little teary-eyed, not just because of the beautiful ending (in my humble opinion), but because i thought this is probably the last time i would get to enjoy a star wars movie in a theatre ever.If Disney is making more films i will still go to the theatres and watch them.

Also: i don't think the Clone wars cartoon is that bad. I think most people based their judgement on the movie and the first season. I feel the series got better in time.

I have a theory about the setting: say it happens C.40 yrs after Return of the Jedi (according the the dark horse comics timeline callendar, A new hope is the year 0 of star wars, and return of the Jedi happened 4 years after a new hope ). I noticed the Novel Invincible:http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Invincible_(novel) happens 41 yrs after a new hope. Jaina the daughter of Han and Leia is 32 at the time. So i wonder; will the movies be a continuation of where the novels left off?

I say George Lucas is either going mad or greedier than he is now! (If it is possible). It will be a BS, we can bet! Why cannot the series end where it stopped?

Ask David Prowse (the guy in the Darth Vader suit) about Lucas, and he'll tell you Lucas is a flaming as*hole.

Why blame Lucas? His sole role in this was to sell Lucasfilm Studios and the rights to the Star Wars franchise to Disney for $4 billion, and then donate most of that to an education charity.

I'm a huge fan of IV, V and VI but WTF?!?!?! Disney?!?! I didn't like I, II and III......they seemed to "unreal" with all the CG animation. The originals looked great even for being as old as they are because they used actual models.

2015 will be a sad time...........

Disney is in talks with Lawrence Kasdan to write either 8 or 9.

Hell yes.

Yesss....that would be great. Misha is my favorite actor!! !!

Disney and Lucasfilm have not confirmed this yet, but dozens of reputable websites(Including MTV, Entertainment Weekly, The LA Times, etc.) are posting this like its 100% official.

J.J. Abrams is directing Star Wars Episode VII.




If this turns out to be nothing more than a rumor, there is going to be a lot of website editors that feel like idiots.

Yeah I just read about this on comicbookmovie.com. That actually sounds kinda cool. Star Trek was an awesome movie and Super 8 was pretty exciting and I so totally can't wait for Star Trek Into Darkness. I bought the blu ray boxset back in 2011 and I still haven't watched all the special features. I always say to myself that I wanna watch the special features on a dvd or blu ray but I just plain forget it plus even though that Star Wars is very high on my list of favourite movie franchises I haven't really been thinking about that much because of a whole lot of other media stuff happening. I'll need to get back into Star Wars soon and start watching the special features as well as some other features for other movies that I said I was gonna watch.

Yeah, Super 8 was a rather underrated film. I loved it. For one he managed to find kids that could act believably and get good performances out of them, which is easier said than done. I would have liked to have seen him direct Ender's Game for that reason. But he also does action really well, between Mission: Impossible 3 and Star Trek, I look forward to seeing his take on Star Wars.

This would appear to be officially confirmed. There's already been some angsting about it, but I have to agree with someone on Twitter - JJ Abrams took on the seemingly-impossible task of recasting the original Star Trek, and nailed it. Ep VII is in good hands, I think.

I absolutely agree.

Am planning a star wars party at my library.

We are making light sabers from pool noodles, as this is for kids, and we are doing an obstacle course based on 'a new hope'. We are also pinning the light saber on Yoda, having cookie cookies, Jedi juice, pretzel light sabers, and are destroying the death star, a piñata. If there is more time, we are also having a star wars freeze dance game or musical chairs, as well as a design a Droid or flying machine part. This Ian hour and a half. Three dads are coming in in their costumes, expensive too, as part of the fun for the kids to interact.

I wish they threw Star Wars parties when I was a kid.
