Could we be seeing Episodes 7,8, and 9 soon?

Forget Star Wars! I want a special edition DVD release of Twice Upon a Time.



Edit: I'm really not surprised, considering how close George Lucas and Disney have been. Not to mention, there's a brand dedicated solely to meshing Disney characters with Star Wars conventions. Just ask Collin and I; we got Pete dressed as Boba Fett in a heartbeat. I also hear Lucas wants to retire, so I guess he's comfortable with Disney taking over.

I know there are a lot of Star Wars fans out there who really like, or even love, the prequels, and I'm not one to say they're wrong. But for my money, most of the prequels screwed it up very badly. While I wouldn't like to see new sequels, on the other hand, could they be any worse?



Edit yet again:

Does this mean we can see Star Wars and Indiana Jones characters in this for--

No.

Okay...

Now keep in mind, Disney did -NOT- buy them on a whim; George Lucas sold it to them cause he is retiring. The move is not unprecedented; Heck, George has been working with Disney since the 80's...Star Tours and Indiana Jones: Temple of the Forbidden Eye at Disneyland are the soul-solid evidence about that. Having said that, I personally find no problem with Disney owning them. Why? Because, even LUCAS has done much MUCH... worse things with Star Wars. No I'm not talking about Episodes 1-3 (though I'm not excluding them either...)...i'm talking about:

So....to be honest, in my opinion, Disney couldn't do anything remotely more horrible to it. xD
