Flame Dragon Posted October 30, 2012 Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 So, playing TF2 and see my twitter has over 20 messages. Turns own Disney owns all lucas properties. http://www.businessinsider.com/disney-buys-lucasfilm-for-4-billion-2012-10 http://www.polygon.com/2012/10/30/3577710/disney-purchases-lucasfilm-in-4-billion-acquisition-deal-includes They are also making a episode 7, coming out in 2015. Personally, don't care about the movie. More fear comes from the wave of lawyers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aerion Brightflame Posted October 30, 2012 Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 They are also making 8 and 9 to be released after supposedly. It'll be intresting to see at least, and hopefully they don't kill the franchise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~British Soul~ Posted October 30, 2012 Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 For a while, I thought that episodes 7, 8, and 9 weren't going to be made. Then again some people probably don't know that Lucas wrote 9 Star Wars books. Seeing as it's Disney, I hope the movies actually turn out to be good and the quality stays somewhat similar to the previous movies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agro Posted October 30, 2012 Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 Lucas himself even said that if a 7-9 were going to be made, someone else would do them. Hey, look, it's someone else. And no one should be THAT worried about this, Disney saved Marvel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tormented Posted October 30, 2012 Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 How could you use Disney and not killing a franchise in the same sentence? First things first Disney is a company which is directly linked to Children so no doubt the whole Star Wars thing will be toned down to a cutsie level so they don't butt hurt mothers, secondly they always use over the top effects whenever they get the chance, thirdly they will probably be animated to reduce spending because Disney is all for 'dem profits. But meh, I personally see Disney ruining Star Wars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tentacruel Posted October 30, 2012 Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 Wait a minute. Disney is actually better than Lucas at this present time, sooooo Look at this way, they can't do any worse than Jar Jar Binks or Star Wars Kinnect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garthfunkle Vii Backwards Posted October 30, 2012 Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 Why would lucas sell away the rights to his money maker?, the ONE thing that more or less that has been feeding him/clothing him/paying his ullities/etc. for the last 15-30 or so years? Dinsey will still have to pay royalities to him but I do not think it will be enough to keep up with his lifestyle he is acustomed to .....

Great Unclean One: VK Posted October 30, 2012 Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 This is proof to Lucas ass kissers that he f***ing never cared for us when Episode 6 hit. I hope Disney won't tone down Star Wars. Clone Wars was bad but the 2004 tv series was great, unlike the s*** fest that is the current tv series. Honestly, they should return to that. I honestly liked how Grievous was a badass who wanted revenge on the Republic for letting his people get slaughtered by Jedis and enslaved.

Phantom Roxas Posted October 30, 2012 Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 Disney also has Touchstone Pictures, which they can use to distribute Star Wars through. They also own ABC, which has plenty of shows aimed towards older audiences. Just because it's Disney doesn't mean things will be softened for the sake of children.

It's on a similar scale to Pirates of the Carribean, probably more child friendly, and Disney did save the Marvel franchise with the new films. I wouldn't be that ruined. Possible fear over the animation thing, but not over the effects thing. Again, Pirates of Carribean. Not really that over the top. And Episode III was quite over the top anyway.

Tentacruel Posted October 31, 2012 Report Share Posted October 31, 2012 Are you guys actually giving this any thought? The [i]Avengers[/i] is owned by Disney. That was good. They also own the rights to Pixar, and almost all of their movies are golden. Disney's own recent movies, like Tangled or whatever, have been pretty good. They're not 4kids, and they can't ruin Star Wars more than it already has been.

Shradow Posted November 1, 2012 Report Share Posted November 1, 2012 At first I was skeptical, then I was like, "Oh wait, it's freaking Disney, it'll be fine." Now, whether or not it'll be good as the original trilogy we'll have to wait and see, but I'm sure they can make something better than Episodes I-III. I'm just wondering about things like casting. Obviously guys like Mark Hamill and Harrison Ford can't reprise their roles unless there's a big time skip and their characters become less than prominent (I mean, unless they want old people protagonists). Also, this makes Princess Leia the new Disney princess, I think.

Darth Revan of the Sith Posted November 1, 2012 Report Share Posted November 1, 2012 To everyone saying Disney will tone down the series. Stop it. If you knew anything about Disney you would know kids are not their only demographic so please stop it. POTC was not the only series to incorporate adult themes. They have been having adult movies for 60 YEARS PEOPLE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't flamed ANYONE here and you called me "a big douche" and an idiot in the same post that you're moralizing me for "trying to start a flame war". Hypocrisy has no more of a place on a Yu-Gi-Oh! forum than the philosophies of Tupac Shakur. To rephrase myself in a manner my divine superiors might understand better, both Lucasfilm and Disney serve as dubious guides of moral character for children and a vast pool of alternatives exist that are both more intellectually stimulating and ripe with far more gripping plots, which begs the question of why we're wasting our time with either. I don't care how ignorant I seem to you, DaWeirdGuy, because my use of colloquial language isn't nearly so problematic as your fearful prejudice. It's not "improper English" that I employ, it's diction with subtle differences interwoven in such a way as to express messages in a less time-consuming manner with greater emphasis. Legend Zero: Okay, but it would be more becoming of someone in your position to explain why my post was so inappropriate in a forum serving the same demographics as popular media rife with similar diction and why the characteristics that made my post so inappropriate are of so much more importance than freedom of speech.

[/quote] Episode VII would begin roughly 20 (or perhaps 30 or 40) years after the end of [i]Return of the Jedi[/i] (according to Lucas in 1980 and 1982). The key actors, Mark Hamill as Luke Skywalker, Harrison Ford as Han Solo and Carrie Fisher as Princess Leia, would appear, in their 60s or 70s (Lucas in 1983). Lucas initially planned for them to have aged a bit, before scrapping it. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ [quote name='Lil Wayne!' timestamp='1351739522' post='6058491'] DaWeirdGuy: Let's check our stats for a sec.

But I still think that the approach you took wasn't exactly the most polite nor respectful, and considering that you could've just avoided the topic and ignored it, for a negative and in no way constructive opinion such as the one you expressed earlier would've been better of not being expressed, for the mere reason that it just causes insult to the companies and to the fans of the franchises. Had you displayed a more...eloquent and constructive opinion such as the one you have just displayed, it would've been acceptable and would've have had much more of an impact than the rather ignorant and aggressive tone you used before. However, I still fail to see how Disney and LucasFilms are dubious moral guides; especially when compared to many other franchises and media companies. And I dont think you exactly have a right to say, without hypocrisy, anything about moral guides with the previous post. Perhaps many other stories are more intellectually stimulating or are better written, but Disney still remains the top grossing film company so it must be doing something right, and Lucasfilms retains a large cult following and is incredibly popular; Star Wars is one of the most recognisable and best selling movie serie of all time. As for how you worded it, it may be less time consuming, but it is also much more aggressive and less likely to gain you any respect nor any agreement; it will just make you seem like, as I said, a douche. As for what you are saying to Legend, I feel like I should visit that as well: "Like Spam, "trolling" has many defintions and comes in many forms. [b]Posting inflammatory, extraneous, or off-topic messages with the primary intent of provoking other users into a desired emotional response and disrupting normal, civil, on-topic discussion[/b] is just one definition of trolling on YCM. Essentially, if you are told by a moderator that you are trolling, you must cease that behaviour." -YCM rules thread. There's your rules against what you posted. Legend made a perfectly valid comment on your post. Freedom of Speech is also limited; no-one really has freedom of speech and it is not always beneficial. And the forum does not generally serve as large a demographic as popular media; the forum is primarily aimed at young teens. As such, while they probably do know the language you used, it is advisable not to use it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SailMasterCard Posted November 1, 2012 Report Share Posted November 1, 2012 Well seeing as to what they did to the Marvel movies, I have high hopes for the Star Wars franchise. Plus Disney's movies have never failed to amuse me and the Pirates franchise was a good one as well, so I am looking forward what may happen under Disney's wing!

Alice Moonflowyr Posted November 1, 2012 Report Share Posted November 1, 2012 Well...It's not like Star Wars get get WORSE...I hope.
