Again, where are you getting your information?

Disney is doing it? What, is Mickey Mouse going to use the force to make storm troopers sing instead of shoot people?

I hope you didn't lieke the new spiderman, avengers or the iron man that is coming out, because Disney owns Marvel and with your closed minded thinking Iron man would be doing the robot dance while Hulk plays bongos.

Disney had nothing to do with the new Spiderman though, it was done by Sony since they still own the rights.

Disney can't screw up the series any more than what George Lucas has already done.

They bought the Lucas studios, so the same staff is making the new movie, not just Disney. I'm sure all they're doing is changing directors and making George Lucas a consult.

I lol'd

I always hated how comic books could never stay consistent. No major character has ever stayed dead permanently, no problem has ever been left completely fixed, and because of this it just kind of ruins the satisfaction of each of the next entries because you know this is true. Something else will happen. That's why I think the Sequel Trilogy should take an entirely new direction.

Star wars has always been about the people, and the decisions they make between each other. That's its main draw. I don't want this to go down the repetitive drain just like so many comic books and never ending franchises (like James Bond, for example) have. I don't want the force to inevitably cycle in and out of balance just for the sake of more movies. They can think of more than this. Star Wars is a big universe.

The most interesting way I have thought of to keep this intact is something akin to Gurren Lagann, or Mass Effect. Its a very, very awesome type of plot and has the potential to raise infinite moral questions about who we are and what we stand for. A threat infinitely powerful makes its way the galaxy and wishes to wipe out all biological life for the sake of saving the universe from eventually plunging into chaos. Remember, the force is still in tact. Everything Anakin and Luke has done is still significant and meaningful. But this time, the threat isn't even biological or native to the galaxy. The entire galaxy must fight together, and while working to get along must inevitably solve political problems and agreements, to eliminate this threat. This process is where the beauty of what makes star wars can really shine. Because you see, its not about the impending foreign threat Luke, or whoever the protagonist is must face, the trilogy must focus on how they fix it together.

What do you think? Its just an idea, of course it probably wont happen. But again I love this type of story line because it can raise so many questions and really blur the line between what is good and evil. It could really provide a nice shake up for the star wars franchise while still staying true to the source material. And keeping what everyone has done in the previous movies meaningful as well.

I like it, but they'll probably stick to the canon.

They said it would be a completely original story, anything could happen! :D

If that's true I might not see it. The Expanded Universe was created to create a canon. George Lucas never wanted to make more than six films. So, writers and game makers made a canon future and past. If all of that means nothing, what's to say the new movie will be anything close to satisfying?

Actually George Lucas wrote 12 films (the 9 plus one with just ewoks and one with just droids)
But he scrapped the ewok and droid films

I thought he wrote portions but lost his intentions. Do the Ewok spin off movies count lol?

He said many times in the 70's and 80's that he intended for there to be 9 star wars films. He changed his mind after the bad reception to the prequels. Also, the Expanded Universe was never really classified as official cannon since lucas was never behind it. Sure, there might be some references to it in the new movies (alien races, planets, etc.) but I for one am glad were getting an all new story line with no idea what to expect!
