Star Wars is so much more than “the vision of George Lucas.” While the man had creative input on a lot the franchise, it really was the collective work of hundreds of creative people. Lucas knows he’s old and will not live forever, and he’s already gone on record stating that he wants the Star Wars franchise to live on forever… Disney is the company to do that. Also…. the EPCOT ball will become the Death Star… You heard it here first.

Maybe I should. Lucas is remaining a ‘creative consultant’ on the films. Though maybe this is like when you give a present to a toddler at a birthday party so they don’t go and rip open all the actual presents?

I really like the idea of a Star Wars theme park. There I said it. And then I am increasingly jealous that two of you (right?) are closer than me to where it would potentially be. Just think, I could have my arm cut off in said cantina!

As a fan of the EU, I’m curious to see if they do anything with that. I also heard someone else mention they were worried about the more mature aspects of some things (1313 anyone?) and whether Disney would be trying to kibosh them.
