SW.com Posts About Disney Acquisition

Posted By Eric on October 30, 2012

The Official Star Wars Site just let loose with a bevy of posts about Lucasfilm's acquisition by Disney. Here they are:

Passing the Baton: Meet Kathleen Kennedy
"George Lucas has anointed Kathleen Kennedy both as the filmmaker to take Star Wars into its bold new future as well as the person to run Lucasfilm. She is a longtime friend and collaborator with Lucas, and one of the most successful and respected producers and executives in the film industry today."

New Video Series: A Discussion About the Future of Star Wars
"On October 19, 2012, Lucasfilm veteran Lynne Hale sat down with George Lucas and Kathleen Kennedy to record a historic conversation. George and Kathleen had already been working in secrecy for months on the earliest stages of planning for new Star Wars films, and were days away from signing an agreement for The Walt Disney Company to acquire Lucasfilm. The pace had been hectic, the excitement palpable. In the midst of it, George and Kathy agreed to take the time to communicate directly with fans and share their reflections on these monumental events. Over the coming weeks, StarWars.com will present a series of videos culled from this broad-ranging conversation, offering viewers an inside look at what the future holds for Star Wars and Lucasfilm."



The Long, Winding, and Shapeshifting Trail to Episodes VII, VIII & IX (by J.W. Rinzler)
"The long conjectured third Star Wars trilogy has kept fans guessing for decades, and may even have a few numerologists working on their mysteries. George Lucas?s shifting feelings about future Star Wars trilogies have consistently clouded the picture. Given the difficulties associated with the birth of Star Wars in 1977, it?s no wonder that Lucas?s ideas kaleidoscoped. When trying to get such a big undertaking up and running and out the door, visions of the future are understandably hazy. But, as of October 30, 2012, Episodes VII, VIII & IX have been announced as real and soon to be tangible ? but they?ve existed as gossamer spirits for nearly 40 years."

On the Brink of the Future (by Pablo Hidalgo)
"For Star Wars fans, today?s great news is seismic. The prospect of new movies invites a rush of questions as the mind races to grasp its implications. The one that sticks in my mind, though, isn?t about the movies. It?s: ?Where were you when you heard?? While the temptation is to speculate wildly on what lies beyond the horizon and be mindful of the future, I also don?t want to lose track of the present, as Qui-Gon advises in Episode I."

Lucasfilm + Disney = More Star Wars and Great Times for Fans (by Steve Sansweet)
"Today?s double-barreled announcement ? that The Walt Disney Co. is buying Lucasfilm Ltd. and that more Star Wars movies are going to be made starting almost immediately ? has me pinching myself ? but this is no dream. For me, and for countless millions of fellow Star Wars fans worldwide, this thunderclap couldn?t possibly be any better. Let me explain."
