Wow, now that he mentioned it, it's pretty impressive how no one knew about this until it was announced.
Two timelines? Please. I've been juggling 3 in my efforts to map the Zelda story.
Disney should make Song of the South toys!
Boy am I glad I have had shares in Disney for over 15 years now.
Chaaaaaching!
1:16 Is it a big poster of Walt Disney staring at you with the most disappointed look in his eye imaginable?
Grim Fandango remake confirmed! Thank you, Disney!
For me, the best part is that Disney will likely have the business sense to hire good talent for the film franchise, like they have shown hiring J.J. Abrams as director and Lawrence Kasdan, the writer made Lucas' dialogue in Empire and Jedi so great to listen to. Remember, the prequel tilogy suffered because Lucas' artistic ego wouldn't let him delegate as a producer.
2:01-2:04 Hmm... Didn't exactly go according to plan there Bob.
There's a rumor that Darth Vader will make an appearance in the next Star Wars film. Considering that all but 2 of Vader's actors are still alive/working in film, I can't wait to see Force Ghost or Holocron Vader appear.
yay!!!! after a few days i've finally watched every single big picture ever created and posted! ^_^
Here's an interesting thought: Peter Jackson does Star Wars
he's staying on as a creative consultant
i love this guy, i wish he'd do all his videos in his native accent though XD
It would be sick if one director focus on the arc of the universe and the other show the history of the universe.
Not pictured in the video: anything from Episodes 1-3. Good call.
None of those things make money.
A company is not a person with affection for old traditions, it is a company. If a company is even seen to be making 'bad business decisions' then tumbling share prices could ruin it.
Is it weird that The Big Picture is the only context in which I like Movie Bob?
Whedon making a hand (played by Nathan fillion) vs bob fett
As a Star Trek fan, I must say it is JJ you need to worry about.
I hope Episode 8 will be directed by Matthew Vaughn.
obviously bob has never met Disney's H.R. department, how do you think the people who sell you the rain ponchos in disneyland appear so goddam fast, summoned out of the ether?
Answering to the question in the description, death, destruction and despair?
I was also surprised as to how this was kept secret for so long. I'm more worried about Star Wars properties outside the Disney umbrella (I.E. the comics from Dark Horse and the Clone Wars on CN) will suffer the same fate as the Disney titles from Boom Studios. I am hoping that a) once Fox loses the rights to the original movies, we'll get the unedited versions on Blu-ray without the remastered hoopla from previous releases and b) Disney will learn from the mistakes of the prequels for VII-IX.
That cracks me up just these beef super serious security working for Disney
Are you a Jedi? You totally predicted the future.
This is probably the first time I have completely agreed with Bob.
I can't believe everyone keeps skipping over the fact Lucas gave 4.05 BILLION dollars to educational charities! That has to be an "All is forgiven now" card
Fair enough, admittedly I'm the kind of guy that rarely looks at the credits and such
I will just say that heir to the empire is badass and an actually worthy successor to the original trilogy
Don't know if I should feel angry at you or love the hell out of you right now...
Disney announced that they want to revive Darth Vader but they've also hired JJ Abrams and the faction of Disney that made The Avengers... so 50:50 that his could be great or shit...
one thing no one seems to keep thinking of is the other side of the coin on this, now that Disney owns Lucasart game devision, they now have legal presidence to make movies based on they're IP's most noteably Return to Monkey island which if done in CG could probably end up being Disneys new Pirates franchise to milk with its bigger pull twords comedy.
Michael Bay does Star Wars. When the death star blows up, it REALLY blows up.
funny abt how he talks abt this being farmed out! JJ Abrams has his claws on the franchise nuts!
I don't really think there is an actress who could play her and to be honest they would probably write her all wrong. She would be put through the studio script tenderiser and come out as some sort of Lara Croft in space or even worse some sort of "bad girl who just needs saving". I'm hoping these new movies don't mess with the expanded universe characters at all to be honest. I'd like to see them focus on the really obscure characters.
And Pixar was started by Lucasfilm
I never heard of the one you mentioned first
4:00
And then they went and handed it over to J.J. f**king Abrams. Yeesh.
Wait until you see the movie before judging it.
I'm basing my opinion off of the previous JJ Abrams Star Trek films.
ChunkNinja In all fairness, the Star Trek films sucked because he just wanted to make Star Wars sooo so badly, his little fanboy heart couldn't take it.
But yeah, I am not an Abrams fan. He has yet to prove he can make anything that is genuinely good all the way to the end and his little cutesy-poo Mystery Box concept is stupid, and he genuinely killed any semblance of respect he had for Star Trek... so let's see.
+ChunkNinja I thought he handled the 2009 Trek nicely. Into Darkness was fucking repulsive, though, and I have no intention of even SEEING Beyond. So he's a one-movie guy. TFA turned out to be a mixed bag, but there was a lot I liked about it. Now it's someone else's turn at bat. I'm fine with that.
Ben Culture Agreed. I recently saw TFA and it was actually pretty good. None of the usual JJisms that make me hate his other films.
What Chewbaca said:"BLALALALARRA"
What i hope Disney has him say:"Fuck you,that's why" or something sarkastic like that
Disney should hire Lauren Faust for the new Star Wars episodes. :-)
i have faith
I'm curious to see how these new films turn out, especially if the do get some new writers.
YOU GUYS YOU GUYS!!! STAR WARS ITEMS IN DISNEY LAND AND WORLD!!! YOU GUYS YOU GUYS!!! A STAR WARS THEME PARK!! Nuff said!
My friends all know me as the star wars guy. They were outraged by Disney acquiring Lucasfilm, and completely surprised that I'm looking forward to it. Between Pixar and Marvel, Disney has not disappointed in a long time. They know what the fans want and they will deliver. Everyone will be happy apart from a few unfunny assholes hellbent on making disney jokes.
i could see that..
Well, nowhere to go but up. Amitrite?
My interest was brief peaked then I heard JJ Abrams fresh from his limp Star Trek offering is involved and my interest dropped back to a level I wish I could apply to my bank loan - Zero Percent.
I liked the prequels
+parker friend (jet) I think a lot more people like the prequels than they're really letting on.
I'm honestly of two minds about it. If I have to pick a side, I will argue that they suck. But left to my own devices, I will eventually watch them again because they're just plain beautiful to look at. Nothing deeper than that, just a pleasure for the eyes. Still very flawed, but not without artistic value.
I don't know why it was very shocking at all. Lucasfilms has been associated with Disney for quite a while now, at least at the parks. Remember Star Tours? Indiana Jones the ride? The Star Wars weekends? That all happened years before the buyout.
I think, and this shows in behind the scenes, that the main reason the original trilogy was good wasn't lucas, it was that then his cast and crew wasn't afraid to say george that idea of yours is crap how about .. instead. With the second trilogy he was too dominant, people didn't dare speak up. I'm glad it's out of his hands. Hell george wanted solo to be a weird comic relief alien in the first trilogy but the people around him thought it was crap and came up the one we know. Sound familiar?
Wait, they did? Seriously? So Lucas is out of the running for any potential sequels? No more aliens? Seriously?
lol
Like Bob, I'm actually excited about this takeover.
I mean, I hate toi repeat what he's said in the video, but Disney has had considerable success when they took over the Muppets and Marvel comics. And do I even need to mention Pixar?
At the very least we'll have Star Wars being made with new people, new writers, a fresh perspective on the story, which is something that's been lacking for some time now.
This could actually be the best thing that's happened to Star Wars for a long time.
they're probably not too sad they got Indiana Jones as well
They got everything from lucasfilm to whatever they want with
Out of this whole deal I hope we at least get Battlefront 3 finally
Hell, we've already BEEN dealing with the presence of multiple timelines in the SW universe for...(dat da daa, google-fu, don't fail me now...)... Five years now with the dueling Clone Wars series...es. Serieses. SerEEs. Serieszz. Sereii. Eh, whatever. You get the idea.
hey diisney first things first.....let the guys who do the clone wars series go all out and make that show the darkest and best they want to
You're implying that Black Widow is one?
Only Expanded universe for Star Wars I care about is Mara Jade and the video games. As long as the movies don't chuck THAT out the window, I don't care. Why? besides being unnecessarily grimdark as f**k, all they really did is rehash the original trilogy. Oh, ANOTHER long-hidden, long-forgotten Sith Empire conquers the galaxy? And has a cow-the-populace-with-fear superweapon that can annihilate planets? And there's a new ragtag rebel alliance? With Luke's descendant and R2 in the same roles!?
I loved the prequels...even more than the original trilogy :/
Would you please talk about "World War Z"
We will hug you!
Look they don't need a cast... they just have to put in Disney characters...
JJ abhrem fuiuuiuuuuuuccckkkkk
But do you really want Leia to become the next Disney princess...?
What if Christopher Nolan did it?
Have you ever considered doing standup comedy?
Could be worse. The next Star Wars movie could have been made by Michael Bay...
Here's a predictable response. No.
Ugh. I've heard that so many times and it wasn't funny the first time. Besides, everyone knows you can now buy bedsheets with Cinderella, Snow White and Natasha fucking Romanoff.
fuck.. Marvel, now lucas arts? Disney is taking over
BLASPHEMY!!!
lol, but then that's your opinion I guess...
I feel like you're inviting yourself to be hated on by Star Wars Fans though...
You have been warned.
My biggest worry was they would base these movies off that EU tripe. I hope they retconn the living shit out of those stupid fucking books.
Revenge of the Sith was great. Clones and Phantom were meh.
:/ I watched the avengers at the cinema... I didn't like it. I never really liked super heroes, so maybe I'm bias, but it just seemed like an excuse for money made from explosions... there wasn't much good story telling.
My bias maybe clouding my vision, so I really don't know how to feel about this... I heard that Obi-wan supposedly has a grand-kid and the others have children who will be the main characters, but I don't know how they will take this.
If they try to bring back the jedi, I can see it working as they are restoring balance, but if star wars is just that, it will get boring, the same way it will get boring if it becomes what it says on the tin and just becomes an excuse for space explosions, like the avengers.
I won't judge until I watch the first film, but I hope they don't ruin my childhood... or I might turn into Tim from "Spaced" in the episode 2.2 "Change" in which he screams at children for having a difference of opinion over new characters in the new star wars movies that suck in comparison to the original trilogy...
