Yes, you’re reading that title right, and the science-fiction fan in you better be freaking out as much as I am! Apparently LucasFilms was bought by the Walt Disney Corporation this past month, and now Disney’s authorizing a new trilogy, with the first film supposed to be out by 2015! No details yet as to what the film will be about or whether we’ll see old or new characters, and if we’re seeing old characters who will play them (I swear, if Luke Skywalker and Han Solo are brought back and they are played by teen heartthrobs just to draw in a new crowd, there will be an uproar).
“Luke, *breath* they’re making more films.”
“NOOOOO! Wait, is that a bad thing?”
“I have no idea.”
Still, this is huge! I wondered what would happen if you tried to remake the films, but to make an entirely new trilogy? Good God. Let’s hope that the new owners of the franchise can live up to the expectations and produce a quality film, and not a repeat of The Phantom Menace!
Well, George Lucas is supposed to be a creative consultant, so we should be okay.
Or maybe not.

Dangit! I read about this, and was going to wait to talk about it. (shudder!) You know you’re getting old when the young bucks start superseding you 😦
First off, I’ve seen photos of you dressed as Wolverine. You don’t look that old. 35 at the most. Second, the only reason I got to it first is because someone on my floor mentioned it when I wished him luck on his midterms by saying “May the Force be with you.”
I will be 35, thank you. But that’s old enough to get upset by college kids. Damn college kids, always gunning for the 35-year old’s spot! Present company accepted of course 😉
well, you wanna know something? I may be in college, but half the things in social media and technology that everybody else has, I’m either totally ignorant of/about or I just don’t see the need for it. I’m still trying to figure out what a Tumblr is!
I’m both excited and concerned.
a lot of people are on a spectrum that holds both those emotions when it comes to this. i’m leaning more towards concerned.
