As long as Lucas isn't involved then I'm quite hopeful, they've done well with Marvel.

Well the press release says Lucas will be 'creative consultant'
Hopefully someone will give him a Jar Jar plushy and tell him to sit in the corner and button up.

I think Joss Whedon is a little busy at the moment tbh!
"Worrying that Disney will ruin Star Wars is like worrying that a second iceberg will dive down to hit the Titanic."
Did they do that for Marvel? Tron?
I swear half the people in this thread don't know what Disney have actually done
ignore, not worth it.
I think an Old Republic film with new characters would probably be the best. There's a lot of material for them to draw on for carrying directly on but it would be a challenge, casting new actors as familiar characters, adapting novel plots to films (always a challenge)
I think anyone who has seen Tron Uprising will agree it's what The Clone Wars series should have been!
Star Wars Family Guy was fairly crap
Star Wars Robot Chicken is where it was at.

Guys can we have expanded universe stuff in spoiler tags? I've read some of it but if they're going to use it for films then it would be nice to not spoil it before it's even made 
Definitely no to CGI actors, we're heavily in the uncanny valley with Jeff Bridges.
I'd rather they just recast them, I don't see a problem with that. (cough Nathan Fillion as Solo)

Darth Jar Jar as the big bad for the trilogy tbh
You know I was kidding, but the more I think about it....I want a Gungan Jedi/Sith 
I don't think the OT and PT are as far apart as people make out, there is a ridiculous amount of nostalgia having an effect.
They are both ridiculously cheesy and flawed trilogies. The weakest thing about Star Wars is the films imo, there is so much more in the expanded universe (books and games in particular, comics I haven't read)

What...
I think the issue people have is they're too old to continue the story if they're following the EU. They'd have to miss huge chunks of the story
I think it's sensible. It won't diminish the books at all. I'd much rather see a new story than see them struggle to adapt an extensive story from one medium to another while trying to keep both EU fans and film fans happy...that's just a recipe for disaster.
Much like the Marvel film universe is seperate from the comics.

Yeah they're just too old now, they would need some serious CGI to help them.
It's not massively surprising considering what Ford has done compared to the other two.
I'll believe that when we get more than an 'unknown insider source'
A dark adult Star Wars with Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross doing the theme please
