"I have a bad feeling about this!" as quoted from all previous six movies, I wonder if they'll keep that line in the new movies.

I wonder how well a Battlestar Galactica-esque reboot of Star Wars would be received.

Or how about a Star Trek esque reboot!

Captain Kirk makes a terrible discovery....

.... a black hole that connects to a different galaxy....


.... in a time where the very forces of the universe are changed


.... Now, a terrible empire in the brink of destruction threatens a Federation paradise....


... unless a 25 year old prick intervenes.


... This is...

... STAR TREK WARS



Dat was pretty bad. Reminds me why I'll never be a writer.

Of course they will. If there's one thing the soulless grasping maw that is the Mouse has always shown, it's the ability to take IPs and subcontract them to the entity who produces the most entertaining - and therefore profitable - ending film. In the case of their Marvel acquisition, that resulted in Whedon's Avengers. In the case of the Holy Trilogy, we'll have to wait and see precisely what they produce, but they'll certainly be competent enough to hit the basic fanboy buttons. So of course someone will have "a bad feeling" about something. That's just too low a bar to set, much like asking if a Star Trek movie will have a ship called "Enterprise" in it, or if a Tolkien movie will include Elves.


And yes, I know that there's been a Trek film where they didn't fly the Enterprise.

[Luis Dias]

There isn't any ST film where they do not fly the Enterprise.

[The E]

You haven't seen ST 4 then, I take it.

They fly the enterprise in ST Whales Edition. Check the final minute of the movie (gotcha!)

[newman]

Seeing the Enterprise at the last minute of the movie isn't quite the same as flying it.

[Luis Dias]

This is getting too much off topic. I was just setting a trap and The_E fell for it... and yes, they *do* fly the Enterprise in the last minute of ST IV, although the majority of the movie is set on the Bounty.

Errrrr.......no! They "fly" (if that is what you want to call it) a Klingon Vessell which I don't think is called the Bounty.

Okay so the crew re-named the Bird of Prey, but that wasn't it's original name.

[Luis Dias]

You still arguing? Come on don't be silly.

[Nohiki]

Am i the only one who thinks this is gonna suck not because of disney but because 1 - 6 sucked as well? xD I can live with 4-6, because they were somehting new when they aired, but the rest... meh

Apparently Lucas will remain on as 'creative consultant', which is kind of like having Pol Pot in charge of human resources, so my expectations are dropping.

[Luis Dias]

Any job description that has "consultant" in it actually means "He's gone from this company/project/whatever". It's an euphemism for "out!".

And I'm going to warn you for trolling. See you tomorrow.

Another aspect that concerns me: Disney's approach to copyright. Lucas was pretty good about letting fan works thrive. Disney is notorious for the opposite.

This is a good point, Disney are notorious for shutting down derivative works, and this could put a lot of Mods/Fansites and Amateur movie-makers in a very difficult situation if they go their usual 'bull in a Chinashop' approach. Though why a company like Disney would choose such a cannibalistic path has always confused me quite a bit.

If they touch the Star Wars FreeSpace mod, I'll will assist Nuke in the detonation process of his nuclear arsenal
