I guess they can't really fuck it up any worse than it already has been. The films I mean, I like that cartoon.

EDIT: Wait, I'm totally mixed up. There and Back Again is summer 2014. My bad.
I would be so very happy if they made the Timothy Zahn books into a trilogy (or more, there's a lot of material there).
Here's the official Disney press release:

Bold added by me, but there's really a lot going on in that paragraph.
Have you met Star Wars fans? They're the Democrats of fandom.
George Lucas is only going to be a creative consultant on Episode 7.
Well okay, maybe the bigger question is: do people actually want this? And my guess is that it does not matter, they will watch it anyway. It honestly seems fine to me, Bond and Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter and so on did more than trilogies. It's more about how good the actual movie is rather than if they're "milking the license" or not.

He was also "creative consultant" on those "The Force Unleashed" games.
Lucas as creative consultant means he has to approve every idea... at least it did on the games.
Dunno if it will be good or bad, but it's big.
Also, spreading the meme: Wolverine with Lightsaber claws.
Why would he hand over the keys like this? Surely he is flush with cash?
I mean im glad but wow/
This is a slightly different situation. Lucas sold his shares and now that Kathleen lady is the leader of Lucasfilm. Seems like he may actually be trying to retire/settle down for real. To which I say, yes Lucas PLEASE spoil your kids in your mansions made of gold and leave Star Wars to others. Please.
I was never huge in to the extended universe, and really, the EU stuff is SO prevalent in every relevant time period, the choice is basically "No more movies" or "Some EU stuff is going to get invalidated"
Hmm... Well I feel a little better then. Hopefully when they creatively consult with Lucas on the new film, they come away from the meetings doing almost everything the opposite of what he says.

-Disney just bought Marvel who now have a very successful movie franchise, so was this really a priority or is Lucasfilms being bought for a steal?
-Instead of looking at it like Disney bought Lucasfilms, does this mean Lucas is now a part of Disney, and will have some say in stuff? (this might be in the articles)
What.
Does anyone else feel like they traveled into bizarro world all of a sudden.
Hey Lucas what happened to your "The saga is done" BS.
This isnt just some silly rumor?
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Yeah, but this time he's a creative consultant who doesn't own any of the franchise and other people can actually shoot down his ideas. Apparently Disney paid him 4 billion dollars for the whole kit and kaboodle.

Starring mickey mouse.
Considering just the worldwide gross for the 6 Star Wars movies (not including merchandising) is more than Disney is reported to be paying for Lucasfilms and all the properties, this sounds like the damn bargain of the century.
Weird. I wonder if he has a contract clause about the original unedited trilogy never coming out in high def.
Well yeah but still.
This means the EU is going to be going to hell.
The only bright spot I can think of is that Mara Jade is surely going to be showing up now in some capacity.
Includes at least ILM and Skywalker Sound according to the article.
It includes all that shit.
Lucas never said there wouldn't be another Star Wars movie. He just said he wouldn't be making one.
I still love that video of the asian girl who bows down to Vader and wants to become his apprentice.
The kid is suppose to want to be a Jedi.
