Considering what it's done with Marvel this may be a good thing. Also i'm sure Lucas holds onto the only Lucas Films copyright that actually matters with an iron fist that won't be pried off till his grandchildren die of old age.

Nope apparently they're working on Episode 7.

Still can't do worse than Lucas.

I would've loved to have seen some of Karen Traviss' Republic Commando books made into movies :(

Starwars 7 is already confirmed. Not even trolling.

Lucasfilms has been dead for years, anyway.

I guess, honestly if someone else is making the movie, it should be much better.

Star wars Episode 7: The Prequel Prequel: Life of Jar Jar

Look for a new brand of Anti-Semetism injected into each and every Star Wars character!

[Gotham]

Implying Star Wars wasn't already anti-semetic

I wonder how George Lucas feels to know that across the internet, Star Wars fans rejoice to know he will be kept the hell away from the franchise now?

STAR WARS EPISODE VII: THE CLONE GENOCIDE NEVER HAPPENED

Jokes aside, the Disney takeover will be a good thing. Lucas lost his magic touch in the 80's. Ewoks were just the beginning of his downward spiral into a creative abyss of cutesy darkness.

Considering the selling price of 4.05 BILLION, I'd bet he's feeling pretty damn good.
