Dammit, I was gonna post this.
And I'm perfectly okay with this. Then again, I've been watching where SW's been going under Georgie since 2004. Disney can only make it better. Even if they put Bieber or Selena Gomez or whoever into it. Even if they recast Leia with Miley Cyrus. Or... whoever else works for them, I dunno. I don't follow Disney; that's Han's bailiwick. _________________ Emperor Ams Jendob, Ruler of the Imperial Remnant

Oh, come on. If Hasbro had acquired it instead, and put Lauren Faust in charge of writing the next movie, Star Wars: Episode VII: My Little Tauntaun would still be far and away better than TCW, TFU, or any of the recent stuff Lucas has foisted on us. _________________ Emperor Ams Jendob, Ruler of the Imperial Remnant

This announcement was enough to bring me back. <_<
And with that said - I am VERY excited about this. From here on out, I feel confident that Star Wars is in very capable hands. I feel as if this is a turning point and I haven't felt this excited about something in Star Wars for a LONG time. The announcement of Episode VII alone has me jumping for joy. I mean, I have dreamed about this moment for YEARS and always thought it should have been this rather than the Prequels.
Disney did well with Marvel and they will do the same for Star Wars. Think of it this way - Star Wars is now out of Lucas' hands and in much better shape than it has been in years.
BRING IT ON! |

That said, this definitely means we need to redo our own SWVII before 2015. ALL WILL ATTEND _________________ Emperor Ams Jendob, Ruler of the Imperial Remnant

I keep hearing people say that "Disney did well with Marvel!", but this doesn't make sense to me since I got the impression that mostly what Disney did was stay out of the way and let Marvel keep doing what it was already doing well. _________________ Morgan ZIM: Bounty Hunter, Gun for Hire, Freelance Peacekeeping Agent, Cybernetic Scoundrel, and all around disruptor of the normal order of things. |

Why not Star Wars: Episode VII 2012 or 2013... with writers: you guys, featuring Sean Connery as the shexy Imperial shupahshpy. Oh, wait... because he sucks. We'll replace him with this Timothy Dalton fellow.

Eh, still haven't decided on the wings. I mean, on the one hand... lets her be an outsider looking in, deal with prejudice and suspicion, can create historical and cultural tie-ins with canon material... on the other, the mechanics of humanoids with shoulder-attached wings are not very favorable (justified by genetic manipulation), the backstory for the character is still not up to snuff, simply making her different to be different isn't enough, conlang still needs work, how to avoid unpleasantness like the last time I introduced Thanagar to SW (accusations of godmodding... ), and also creating an entirely new species in a decidedly overloaded universe... oh, and figuring out just how in the hell she puts on a shirt. <_<
Perhaps another character will have to explore the xenophilia route. <_< _________________ Emperor Ams Jendob, Ruler of the Imperial Remnant

How did we go from talking about Disney to how a winged woman puts on a shirt? |

Some of us find that more interesting, I guess? |

That, and Ams is dropping some subtle groundwork for his new pornographic website wingedwomenputtingonshirts.com |

Ahh, just like old times. Also, the 200-gigaton medium turbolaser is a lie, as is everything else Curtis Saxton said. _________________ Emperor Ams Jendob, Ruler of the Imperial Remnant

Yes, narratively it makes little sense. |

Narratively and physically. When you have to burn nine and a half tons of fuel to fire one shot from one gun... no. Just no. _________________ Emperor Ams Jendob, Ruler of the Imperial Remnant

With Disney in control, we have more of this to look forward to:

And just a note - I was in the audience the night that was filmed and saw the show live. |

Tis good news indeed. I actually care about the franchise again, there's genuine HOPE!
They might even get real sets now...real sets, practical FX, etc.

Especially you. And we'll have to dig up Rory, Hunt, and tranq the Ewok and drag him in.
