There’s a disturbance in the Force.
Star Wars: Episode VII. Brought to you by Disney, proud owners of Lucasfilms.
A new Star Wars movie every two to three years.
This hit the internet four hours ago and it’s long-reaching effects have yet to be felt. Many people who would likely chip-in with their opinions may be without power or the internet. They’ll emerge from Hurricane Sandy, look around at the devastation it left behind, and then be told the news. Major nerd sites are down, as are their servers.
It’s too early to tell what consequences this will have. Likely, it’s the Apocalypse. Many fans felt the series was destroyed by the prequels. Further sequels (three are confirmed), might destroy the fabric of reality itself.
Yet, there are countless books, games, comic books, action figures and fan-fic dedicated to a continuing series. Isn’t this just a natural progression of that.
Also: George Lucas himself has stepped away from major motion picture to dedicate himself to “hobby” films. His influence will only be felt as a homage.
Plus there’ll have to be a whole new cast. Anyone from the original series would likely only be as cameos.
