It's possible that it won't be that bad. I mean look at what they did to Avengers and other Marvel stuff, so maybe it would be fine, if the right people are involved in the right project.
And I hope it'll be a new story as well, not just another sequel, and I'd appreciate a new spin on it.
I am excited about this buyout. The Ep VII thing made me shit myself.
I really don't care what they do. The EU stories are decent enough that it wouldn't make me hate them. I would prefer something of a re-write of Eps VII-IX...but still keep some of the elements like the Establishment of the Jedi Academy.
And, they can do just as much of a time-skip as they did between III and IV. Hamill and the gang should have aged enough.
Disney generally does a good job. I have no doubt that they will at least make decent films.
Here's what I want: The Mandalorian Wars: The rise of Revan. If I get that, I will die a happy old man.
They strung me up and disemboweled me when I stated that in the Avengers thread.
Again, I'd love to see Old Republic/Sith War era films. Such a great storyline to work from and lots of massive scale battles. They certainly would be much darker than the original series though.
Disney is definitely the best company to take over the Star Wars franchise, just look how well they did with Marvel and The Avengers.
As for Episode VII, even though I am a huge EU fan, I don't mind at all if they go in a new direction invalidating most of the EU as long as it is good.
I keep hearing from multiple sources including /Film that Disney plans on making not only this 7-9 trilogy but even MORE trilogies after that! Unlimited Star Wars for everyone! Freakin sweet. This means more chances for Disney to make great movies and learn along the way. I don't see why they couldn't make an Old Republic movie, makes total sense.
As long as they stay loyal to the well established facts and timeline, and don't invent new parallel universes (DC, Marvel cretin stuff), as long as they don't " reboot" SW, I'm fine with that. EU is essential. EU created and raised to the upper levels the 4000 BBY Republic and much more, especially Dark Horse comics. If they spit on it with their hidden Hollywood political propaganda bullshit, then they're ruined. SW is genuine because it has a genuine perspective on a Galactic civilization far far away.
Not everything is gold that shines. We have to be wary. The more independent the directors for the new movies, the better. SW doesn't need mainstream Hollywood lapdogs.
everyone thrilled huh? well that will die real quick when instead of the 20th century fox intro before the opening crawl, we have:

I'm excited for some new Star Wars movies. Have heard they will be stand alone trilogy, but I don't want them to stomp over EU. There are many options they can do. It is a big universe, you can feature characters not associated with Luke, Han, etc. Maybe have Luke have a cameo on a Jedi counsel. Or they could skip to the future and have Luke as a Force Ghost. I just dont want them to interfer with the current time-line or characters.
If your going to include characters like Jaina, do it right. If your going to include the Vong, do it right. Personally I would be okay with 2 senerios. First, you jump past where the current EU is with its core characters and have Luke sitting on the Jedi Counsel on Ossus, and introduce new faces with a few hidden cameos for us EU fans.... Maybe see a Barabel Jedi on the counsel sissing at a joke.... (like they do with marvel). The second would be to do something around the time a Thrawn, that would be stand-alone and not mess with Luke or the others at all. Personally I would rather the former.

I did enjoy the prequels, but i still feel Lucas should of just done the story and got someone else to write it and direct it. LIke Empire & Jedi.
So maybe for this we can get some really good movies with good direction.but do it 30 years after jedi, that way anyone who wants to make a cameo can.
Also if disney was smart they should release another bluray set with the orginal movies and or a bluray set where you can pick what scenes you want in and watch the star wars movie that you want to watch.
While Disney now owns the rights to the Star Wars universe and all future films going forward, 20th Century Fox has retained the rights to the first six movies. The original film, Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope, is theirs forever, and they’ll own the final five films, Episodes I-III, V and VI, through May 2020. This makes the fan dream of releasing the original, unedited trilogy box set very difficult.
