I can't see Disney screwing up the franchise any more than Lucas already has... remember who brought us JarJar and the Ewoks. |

I am assuming new actors to portray Luke, Leia, and Han. If Lucas could just admit, that yeah, Jar-Jar and The Phantom Denice the Menace was terrible; maybe he could have moved on. But, he seems to have gotten all butt-hurt about it. Hey, I've screwed up before - you learn from your stupid mistakes and move on. |

The way Disney could mess it up would be to over saturate the market. Not that the franchise isn't close to that now.Trek certainly felt that in recent years. Conceivably Disney could potentially make a better trilogy than Eps. I-III by limiting Lucas to an advisory role. Many, including myself, have pointed out over the years that of the franchise Empire is widely seen as the best. That had others involved in writing the story and someone other than Lucas in the director's chair. Sometimes one can be too close to a subject. |

So, I guess by now we have all heard about just who is being tapped to direct Episode VII? Yes, none other than Star Trek's very own J.J. Abrams. Apparently contradicting himself from a couple of months back about having been approached for consideration. Now it seems to be a case of, "When I said 'no' I really meant 'yes'?" Moviefone: Abrams being considered for Episode VII.
Translation: They're willing to throw me lots of money! Of course this all raises questions now about his involvement with Trek. Some are likely cheering at the prospect that Abrams could be done with Trek. While I, personally, am not thrilled with some of what he did, he did revitalize the franchise. Abrams played coy with everyone as to whether he would even direct the pending "Into Darkness". So I could easily see him retaining the producer hat, but handing over the directorial chores for Trek XIII to someone else. I think it, either way, is likely to mean we won't see a head-to-head battle at the box office for the two franchises. |

Beware, coming to a cinema near you in 2015: Star Wars, Episode VII Attack of the Lens Flare OR Star Wars Episode VII The Lens Flare Menace OR Star Wars Episode VII The Lens Flare Strikes Back My personal favourite, of course, is Return of the Lens Flare |

Just how much is too much Disney to Release An Annual Star Wars Film Starting in 2015. Depending on how much they do on television, heck even with an annual film alone, they run the risk of over saturation. It happened to Trek and it cold happen to this franchise too. I would hate to see it turn into a running joke for late night comedians. |

Apparently we look like this now
|
They are talking about a new SW empire. So, I think they will do the final 3 films, then fast forward into the future, where another tyrant assumes control. All this has happened before..It will all happen again. |

I had given this news a lot of thought. I think it won't affect how the franchises functions. After all Star Wars and Disney are a multi-billion dollar franchises on their own. By combining their resources they will eventually monopolize the entertainment market. Remember a while back critics had a strong reaction when Square Enix took over Eidos? Fans were afraid these companies will affect the quality of their games. Their fears were unwarranted since we saw the results in the Tomb Raider reboot game. There were no reduction in quality. Their merged resources made this game a bit more realistic with a definite timeline and history for us to follow. More credit to the queen of video games - Lara Croft. I think the same could be said about Star Wars. The changes will be felt behind the scenes but the surface will remain the same.
