Disney buying Lucasfilm for $4 billion! More Star Wars movies coming!

I don't know that there's ever been a set of movies that were more forgettable and yet made more money than the prequel trilogy (Transformers, maybe?). Creatively, there's really nowhere to go but up. Financially, anything with the Star Wars label will do fine. This *could* be good.

I was all, "This Episode 7 better be Heir to the Empire!"

Then I was all, "Wait, the actors are too old for the parts."

Now I'm all, "This is bad news." :(

I'd rather that they just restarted the franchise, ala Star Trek, than mess with canon.

Well, it isn't like the new movies could be much worse than the prequels, or what was done to the cartoon during season 3. It would be great if Disney turned SW over to Pixar and let them run with it.
Other than that, my childhood's bottom is anticipating being violated again.
 

I'm disappointed.

I don't want to see new Star Wars movies for a while, or at least not ones linked closely to the original trilogy and characters. Disney is good, but I don't think they can pull off a movie every 2-3 years and maintain viable quality. They'll just kill the franchise with dreck.

Maybe if they concentrate for a bit on web- or TV-series exploring some far-flung bits of canon ...

The Marvel movies will make a fine litmus test for this concern. As to the Original Trilogy characters, sorry, but even the authors of the Expanded Universe realized those are the bread and butter of the fanbase.

I'm betting the next annoying race/character will be tall & rat like, with rounded ears and an incongrouously squeaky, high-pitched voice.

The prequels just needed more polish. They had a lot of interesting bits (Yoda vs Count Doku for instance, Jango Fett), and even the storyline wasn't bad, I just think he had forgotten how to make movies and perhaps hewed too close to the source materials, the old serials.

I also think people are missing that the series was mostly aimed at young'uns, not adults.
