    Will I finally get my dream of seeing a movie (not a cartoon or a video game....) about the 20 years between III and IV? Darth Vader, in his prime, ruthlessly hunting down jedi all over the galaxy?

    Less Hayden Christensen & the annoying kid-Anakin; more Alec Guinness, Harrison Ford-types.

    I'll admit the prequels were atrocious but Lucas is still the brainchild of a masterful universe he created and owned. It'll be interesting to see where Disney can take it from here overall.

    Holy ****

    I thought this had to be a fake.

    If it's a fake, it's a masterpiece.

    And it's GREAT news, taking Lucas' slimy hands off of Star Wars, now maybe we will get some GOOD movies!

    Disney could buy Lucas Films and request more characters for kids.

    [edit] nevermind, didn't realize the article was about the purchase.

    Question. I can't remember the last time i saw a Pixar movie, but it normally jsut shows Pixar in the beginning credits right? So basically it will still be LucasFilm but owned by Disney, so there can still be serious stuff going on instead of all kids material correct?

    That frightens me a bit. Marvel goes cheap on directors. Star Wars better get serious, big time directors.
