With all the controversey that surrounds the decision made by George Lucas to sign over LucasFilms to Disney. A new Star Wars movie is scheduled to come out in the summer of 2015. This tells me that Disney has been planning this for quite some time. Will this end up as a great move, or will it blow up in Disney's face?
Personally I'm excited for this. Maybe it's the Star Wars fanboy inside me, but I believe this could really help the Star Wars franchise. I've heard a lot of people say "Oh well Disney is going to ruin Star Wars." They forget that Star Wars was ruined the day The Phantom Menace hit the theatres. The next prequal Attack of the Clones made things alot worse. Although Revenge of the Sith was a good movie, The original trilogy was still so much better. Also Lucas made some very unpopular calls for both the digitally remastered DVD's of the original trilogy, and the Blu-ray release of last year. He improved the sound and picture quality but he made some tweaks that I hated. In the scene in A New Hope when Han and Greedo are having the conversation in the bar and Han shot him from under the table, he changed that and Greedo shot first. That didn't make any sense to me. Also Disney bought Marvel comics and just this year they released The Avengers which was their best film to date. Am I saying that Star Wars episode 7 will be the best Star wars movie? No I'm not but I don't think it will hurt Star Wars at all.
I'll be watching for any news on the new Star Wars movie until the day it hits the big screen. the big question now is who will direct it? Personally I want Christopher Nolan to direct it. He's my favorate director right now. I'd also love it if Joss Whedon will direct it but he's locked in for the Avengers 2 which is due out in 2015 so he probably won't be able to. I'd also love J.J Abrams or Peter Jackson if The Hobbit is good (which it will be.) In summary all I can say is, 2015 can't get here soon enough.
