I am thrilled and not at the same time about the news that Disney bought Lucasflims for 4 billion dollars. The last time a huge transaction like this took place was when Facebook bought the internet for 3 billion dollars. Who knows what will happen when Disney decides to blend kid friendly, talking mice to a futuristic world full of Ewoks, Sith Lords, and aliens.
I read up on the news and kept digging around to see if maybe there is news about what the movies (episode VII through IX) will be about. I looked and looked and found this quote from Lucas himself stating that,
the rebels are forced into another war when a long forgotten Sith Lord returns to reclaim the galaxy and finish what Darth Vader couldn’t. With the help of a prince and his group of talking alien rodents, Luke guides the lone prince in a fierce battle to not only conquer and defeat evil but also to learn a lesson in teamwork, honor, and patience.
It was not mentioned if there will be musical numbers but Elton John is on board to sing the main number. Does that mean John Williams is out? Time will tell. The movie is slated for a 2015 release and judging by the other release dates of Episode 1-3, it’ll be a May event. Get ready for the force to be unleashed again.
To show you that I am not making this up, here is a leaked artwork from Disney. This may be what Episode 7 will look like. Your thoughts?
