Ldogg Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 I don't think this is a bad thing. It was shocking at first. But I do seem to remember Lucas saying he'd never create Episode 7. Imo, nothing is worse than never having another SW movie, even if they lack like 1-3 did. But I also didn't hate those movies and I know some of you do with a passion. One thing that somewhat scares me is I've never seen Disney do a video game or any good ones. Hope we see SW video games come out with their takeover.

kevlarto Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 GL has a boat load of money, time to retire don't blame him, I have been a fan since A New Hope launched, I have enjoyed all 6 of the movies, and the clone wars is the only new star wars I get atm, I am looking forward to seeing some new movies, and hope they live on for years to come... that's how I see it for me, being a fan I am always hungry for new Star Wars..

Comstrike Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 I can see Bill Nighy as a Sith Lord though. I mean: Rufus Scrimgeour, Victor, Davy Jones, that dude from Love Actually. Hardcore people. It is all about who they hire to run the movies. We cite the Marvel group, but lets remember that set of producers are from what Marvel itself put together. They were doing just fine before Disney, and have been given more cash and the means to push harder. The results are good so far. Now John Carter, there we have a cautionary example of lots of money not being enough to save an obscure title poorly done. As for the games? I simply can't expect the Disney machine will fail to visit this little outpost sooner rather than later. And I so very much hope they hammer EA and either dictate they do better, or buy out the game and do it themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simplius Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 I find it funny that this is posted on the TOR forums, of all places. TOR, a game where we can actually go to Alderaan and see the workings of the noble houses. The leader of the House in control is called "King" or "Queen." That would make the daughter a princess. Bail Organa was a member of the House. He was a Senator, yes, but he was also of the royal bloodline. Thus, his adopted daughter was, in fact, a princess. Regarding Amidala, you're somewhat right. She was elected, but the simple matter is that she was a queen by matter of title. She was granted the title by the people of Naboo as part of their democratic process. That makes her royalty, because the people of Naboo are ruled by a Queen. So, no, she's not a princess. She was a Queen. And, just like former US Presidents, I imagine those who serve as queen retain some of the privileges of rank. So, she's still a noble, so she could fit into a loose definition of princess. So, it wouldn't at all be a stretch of the lore to include these characters as Disney princesses. However, I'd think the fact that Amidala died in childbirth would put a damper on her inclusion. All the other princesses lived "happily ever after." Amidala lost the will to live. Hardly a role model for the girls, is it? yes they can use any title they want to, but theyre not "classic" royals,,theyre modern ones,,really democracy i also have no problems with leia and arielle in the "same box",,still feels a bit weird though role model ,, yes,,she was good, she tried to do good things, but she was blinded by love she also was a driving force to get rid of the president ,so palpatine could make his move she is a strong willed and good person, she does many good things, and a few bad by accident i think she is a good role model, she was simply a victim of the storyline her role feels so more alive and real, than leias,,at least from whats been on screen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue_Leader Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 (edited) This doesn't really surprise me-- Disney getting hold of LFL. While it's a little bit unnerving as a Star Wars fan, all-in-all I don't particularly mind it. Disney has worked with Star Wars things for years and has done an excellent job, and I think that they'll do just fine with it in the future, too. And I know that Lucas has said that he trusts Disney, and that if anyone was to take over he wanted it to be them (I can't remember the words exactly)... so I don't really see this as any big problem. Besides, that just means that we'll be getting more Star Wars things. Lucas doesn't seem to really have any any plans past the last season or two of Clone Wars and that really crappy looking Detours series (besides the various rumors have a live action series that may or may not be happening). With Disney taking the wheel we'll no doubt see more Star Wars coming. Honestly, I'm glad that Disney got it and not some other company.

Hambunctious Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 I could be tempted to see the 12-21-12 mayan prophecy fulfilled rather than see the franchise ruined by Disney. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beniboybling Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 (edited) Star Wars has been continuing with the EU, it hasn't stopped at all. Theres also the TV show ya know too, but as I said while I don't mind a new movie they didn't really need to be making another. But again, will go see and probably end up liking it anyway, my only real gripe though is that I hope it doesn't ruin EU a whole lot. Its risky I know, and a lot could go wrong - but ultimately we have a thousand different people and different companies getting their hands on star wars over the years in the EU and I don't hear any massive complaints. Disney is a respected company who are good at what they do, what could go wrong *crosses fingers* EDIT: You do realize guys though that this is gonna be a bulldozer through any EU after the films (thank god i was never into that stuff) I'd be worried Thrawnites. (you have been warned, George Lucas always said that Starwars ended with ROTJ - but you just didn't listen ) Edited October 30, 2012 by Beniboybling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beniboybling Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Because they want the franchise to be freed up for something that is more akin to Disney and that will feature things like Woombo the Flying Wookie. A family-friendly browser game with a ton of micro-transactions. This made me laugh. A lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WookieIsshe Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 i wonder if the agreement between Ea and lucas arts will be void now. Maybe disney will revamp this game. OR they will "lay off" everyone and shut the game down. Or a meteor will hit earth and wipe out al life. Or the sun will explode. Or maybe something good will happen. Disney did not buy Lucas Arts.. they bought the Lucas Films.. learn the difference Disney buying Lucas Films has no effect on the gaming division which they do not own. George Lucas still has complete control over Lucas Arts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UltimateKrucible Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 So if you keep bringing up the Avengers could Joss Whedon be the director for the new Star Wars movies? It did occur to me that that guy can do whatever he wants ... pick whatever project he wants ... and it will be given to him after the stunning success of the rather good Avengers movie....

nartiuslightlord Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 In truth for me the first movie in 1977 was the magic. Good or bad that first movie and the ideas and fantasy's it has allowed me to live out have been good fun. Lucas lost me with Return of the Jedi. it was pure greed and marketed towards kids from then on. So this move to Disney won't really change that. kids are were the big bucks are at. George got his 4 billion and he loses all the hate He generated from all the bad moves He made after New Hope. This game is pretty close to my idea of an adult driven Star Wars. And of course...Star Wars lives on in my mind and the story's I cook up from my characters i have created as well as others who write fan fiction, that is where the real Star Wars lives, not in Disney or Lucas or even Bioware.

JediCahlwyn Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 Lucas is an incredible idea man. He is not a very talented dialogist/director. I am a fan of the prequels and the classic trilogy so it isn't like I'm all anti-Lucas HOWEVER... With his ideas and more talented people at the helm, we might be in treat for a GOOD thing.

GnatB Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 on another note: the "princesses" in star wars really arent "queen" amidala was elected leader,,,PRESIDENT amidala leia was a stepdaughter of senator organe,,,,"senators daughter" but "princess" just sounds better Pretty sure we're all aware that Alderaan does, in fact, have kings, and princesses. Being a senator doesn't mean you aren't also a prince... and a quick google search shows that (at least according to the star wars wiki) Bail Organa WAS prince consort to Queen Breha Organa. That would presumably mean that their adopted daughter would have been a princess. In addition to being a senators daughter. One doesn't rule out the other. But yeah, Amidala wasn't ever a princess, she was a queen. Elected queen, but the title used was still queen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vian Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 yes they can use any title they want to, but theyre not "classic" royals,,theyre modern ones,,really democracy Here's Royals and Elections 101. The Holy Roman Emperors, going back to Charlemagne, were elected. By a group of 7 nobles. You don't get more "classic" than the guy who basically invented post-Roman Europe. Anglo-Saxon kings were elected by their thanes. Scandinavian royalty has been elected since the Middle Ages. Democracy is not a new thing. Nor is it incompatible with being ruled by a monarch. The Queen of England lives in a democracy. Universal sufferage is not a requirement of democracy, either - all democracy means is that someone has voted, not that everyone has. Amidala is a queen because she was voted in, but she's as much a queen as any of the Terran examples above. Leia, as Bail and Breha's daughter, is a princess as much as Beatrice or Eugenie is a princess. Real princesses. I'm sure they could all pee through 20 mattresses, if they had to.

Nemmar Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 (edited) I was pretty happy with these news. New trilogy and a new star wars movie every 2-3 years after that. Theres many untold star wars stories from the books and video-games that deserve a movie. the original KOTOR and the Story of Revan would make one awesome movie. They could make a trilogy with KOTOR1, KOTOR 2 and SW:ToR: Revan book. It would be epic... and then another trilogy with the events of SWTOR! xD Edited October 31, 2012 by Nemmar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
