Sorry if already posted. I searched around a bit for it, I'm outraged by this and figured this'd be a good place to discuss this pathetic cash cow franchise.
Yeah it has already been posted. Can we get another forum merger? Also on the whole subject lets not be so quick to judge. This could be a positive thing. Lucas has been butt fucking stars for the last 20 years
Merged

As for Ep 7 that is coming out, it has been said they are going with a story that has not yet been told so odds are we will not be getting Thrawn or several of the other major story arches in this movie. We have no time line of how far after the destruction of the 2nd Death Star they are taking this. So everyone just clam down. Remember Disney also owns Marvel and we can all see how well they have done with Iron Man, Capt America and of course the Avengers. Let us save our judgement for when we get some real concrete info. Anything we hear in the next half of a year to a year can be changed 3/4 times.

I really doubt they will do anything to the original eps beyond what Lucas has already done. Hell they could go back and fix some shit like the whole "Han shot first" deal. Remember Disney has been connected for some time with Star Wars ie Star Tours and marketing. The marketing team will know there would be a major outcry if they started to mess with the old series for no reason like Lucas did.
In current media, yes. Out there, as in out of all of the sci-fi ever written or created? No.
Go read the Foundation series by Issac Asimov. He not only wrote sci-fi, but was an actual Physicist aswell.
Don't get me wrong, I love Star Wars, and I love Halo. But they are not on the top of the list for sci-fi.
I would agree on the Halo thing but Star Wars is definitely on the top 5 list of greatest Sci Fi ever. I would personally put it as number 1. It has one of the largest communities and the fact that it was created over 40 years ago and is still the massive power house it is today speaks wonders about it. Lucas has re-released the first 3 Star Wars movies several times and has made billions off of it.
TBH, he could've never re-released them and they'd still be a powerhouse and still be making him millions of dollars, based off all the spinoffs, games, toys.
The prequels aren't that bad, either. They're not as good as the originals, but they serve there purpose. So that got Star wars back on the map to a whole new generation.
Btw, Han shooting first is in the 2006 Re-release. Didn't know that.
Like Silko said, Disney owns Marvel, and they're still doing a great job with the Avengers and such. I really have no worry about this at all, at least, not until we get some solid info on what the story arc will be. I really hope Mark Hamill gets to appear as Grand Master Skywalker.
