He's trolling.

Also:

"Reading the press, it appears Lucas will still be involved, and the story outline and ideas for Episode 7 were already in place before the sale. So that answers that question."

So, Tucker's Law.

As a creative consultant.
From what I understand of his role in the original trilogy and the prequels, he does his best work when he comes up with ideas and other people tell him what works.

By way of this...I'm not too worried in itself. Disney acquired Marvel, and while that resulted in the cancelation of Spectacular Spider-Man (insert rant here), I'm not aware of any dramatic shift in Marvel's stories or anything, or at least anything that can be tied to Disney as a whole.

However, I'm hardly enthusiastic for an Episode VII. Other movies are fine, but while I haven't read much Star Wars EU fiction post-RotJ, I don't want to see it retconned.

And Joss Whedon? Meh. That's all I can say.

I wholeheartedly approve.

I look forward to Disney making something as horrible as war more wholesome and family-oriented as it really should be.

Just like the Avengers?

What, you didn't catch John Carter of Mars earlier this year?

Um...I think some people are taking the "Wars" part of Star Wars a bit too literally. Obviously action is all well and good but it doesn't dictate that everything has to fall in that paradigm.

Well, yes, that is correct. However, the best of Star Wars that I can think of had the war as the focus or the backdrop.

Fictionally, I can also see war factoring into the new movies, because the empire didn't just roll over and die when both the Emperor and the second Death Star were destroyed.

Yes, yes, go ahead and post the Robot Chicken sketch. We've all seen it.

I don't know if the new movie would go into the whole taking of Coruscant and the splintering of the Moffs. Sure, I think that's a great idea for a movie, but they might simply jump ahead.

Didn't it take years for the new order to be established in the core worlds?
