I'm excited to see what Disney does without Lucas. Much respect for the man since I doubt I would have had the drive and determination to go through what he did to make the "Empire" of Lucasfilms what it is today, but he effed the franchise up as a director.

WOW!....so this gives the Star Wars community over a year to froth at the mouth. Talk about hype. I hope it is fantastic.....a rebirth of the franchise. As we here on the blue pages like to say.....they better go big.....or go home. If they hit it out of the park with the SW faithful.....Disney could become the new Fed.....they can start printing their own money.

Just minutes before the earnings call this afternoon, it was announced on StarWars.com that episode 7 will be released on December 18,2015.

This looks like a reasonable compromise between Kathleen Kennedy's request to move it to 2016 and Bob Iger's insistence that it gets released in 2015... Move the date up as late as possible and still make it for a 2015 release. This should buy Kennedy a few more months to get the first film in the trilogy wrapped up. It also means the crew will still have the stressful burden of having to work fast and during overtime hours to get things done.

I'm sure Kennedy will give everyone at LucasFilm working on this a good long vacation before things begin to rev back up for work on Eps. 8!

I actually do have plans that day. Its my son's 11th birthday. So, may plan is to take my son to his first ever Star Wars opening day for his 11th birthday. Couldn't have worked out better!


Hobbit will be done in 2014. Christmas 2015 should be clear for Star Wars.

How? A New Hope was directed very well. Phantom Menace not so well because his directing skills were rusty because he hadn't directed anything in the time period in between. By Attack of the Clones, his knack for directing was beginning to come back, and he was back at it when Revenge of the Sith came along.

He could have had help with the dialog during then scripting of TPM and AOC because those two have the weakest dialog, in my opinion. He actually did seek help during the writing of TPM. He took his completed screen play to oscar screen play writer Frank Darabont (Shawshank Redemption) and asked him to script doctor it. After Darabont read it, he handed it back to Lucas and told him that he didn't see a single thing in it that needed to be changed or fixed. In retrospect, he was either lying to Lucas or he was too busy with his own work to do this favor for Lucas which he wasn't being paid for.

They could do what Cameron did with Avatar and just release as much as they can complete by due date and continue working on the unfinished footage for a special edition release later in 2016.
