Star Wars Episode 7 and Disney buy Lucas Film

Abrams did a good job of channelling ET for SUPER 8 so maybe he can channel EMPIRE for this.  (Appreciate that some people didnt like SUPER 8 for exactly that reason.)

What proposed TV show??

It was proposed by one-half the internet.

The other-half agreed.

Disney has begun to outline its plans for the Star Wars franchise, with the studio promising a new adventure in the galaxy far, far away every year from 2015.

The studio made the announcement at the CinemaCon festival, explaining that the films would alternate annually between the ongoing sequence of "Episodes" and a series of standalone movies.

We still haven't had any confirmation as to which characters will be getting the spin-off treatment, although rumours have suggested that Yoda, Boba Fett and Han Solo movies are already in the works.

It's a strikingly bold proposal from Disney, although recruitment has already begun on the screenwriting front, with Lawrence Kasdan and Simon Kinberg thought to be hard at work on the spin-offs.

Meanwhile, J.J. Abrams Star Wars: Episode VII will be the studio's opening salvo, with that film pencilled in to open in 2015 and kick off the subsequent domino effect. Looks like we'll have plenty to discuss over the coming months and years...

So Disney are doing Avengers in the Star Wars universe?  Make's sense as Avengers has become one of the highest grossing franchises of all time.

While I completely understand given the amount Disney has paid for the franchise (God that's becoming an increasingly depressing and all too common term) the desire to crank these out, will one a year be rather over egging things?

Guess Marvel are seeing it work for them and figure Disney see Star Wars as equally exploitable. Me I'm not convinced there's quite the same depth to the mythology (don't chase me out of town!) and things could get tired quite quickly.

nah plenty of depth in the Star Wras universe, haven't you always wanted to see how Max Rebo and his band ended up playing in Jabba's Palace?

Will Salacious Crumb be getting a spin-off?

[Zarjazzer]

The sarlacc show. More Star Wars should (hopefully) be good for everything but my wallet.

Disney's thinking too small. They should be thinking Perry Rhodan where a new novel is churned out every week by the monkeys writing staff.

Also what about the direct to video market. A new video bio of every imperial soldier killed on each of the Death Stars.

They could do a Discovery Channel type programme.  For example, I always wanted to know how to herd Nerfs.

David Attenborough presents, "Twilight on Hoth", complete with Wampa cave search.

Bruce Parry integrating into Sandpeople culture.  I wonder what strange drugs THEY take?!?
