Ok Why can't we get this love for a Star Trek movie geez? Is Disney for real? This all smacks of the Marvel model they are using now, and it's working there, so why not here two? I mean you still have the main storyline, then have a few side stories that link back tot he main story. I love the idea, and I hope they can pull it off.
But what stories will we see? Does anyone have an idea what they might be planning? Spoilers please lol.

It could also involve assembly line disposable straight-to-DVD junk that Disney's quite prolific at. And let's also not forget that Disney is no stranger to remastering their remastered remasters.
Third possibility: It could involve using Lucasfilm to produce films for other Disney properties. Between the new studio facilities and owning ILM, one of those 3 films could be going towards (for example) a faster release schedule for Marvel films.
Disney got more in this deal than just Star Wars, and remember, marking is everything to Disney. It's not just the movies, but the toys and everything else they can slap a logo on and sell at Wal Mart. Why make three Star Wars movies with one toy line when you can make Star Wars, Indiana Jones, and Labyrinth all with their own separate toy lines?
when you watch iron man you are watching an iron man movie not a marvel movie.
while starwars is certainly big enough, it will almost certainly have to be new characters that we have never heard from before so they just become 'star wars' films and that might oversaturate the market for that type of film.
if they no longer feel special, and there is no immediate connection to the characters then it might work against them.
then again they are often made as kids films, and probably more so with the disney brand so they should still do well.

Disney WOULD seriously consider doing a "reboot" of Howard the Duck....with the seemingly endless stable of tween wannabe pop stars.....
Also, does anyone remember the books based off Willow that had Lucas listed as one of the "co-authors"? Yeah, I had those....still have the last one buried somewhere...

Oh, and worse: Howard the Duck is part of the Marvel Universe, and could potentially be included in the shared continuity. He even had an Iron Man suit at one point, which raises all kinds of horrifying possibilities.
Be afraid.
Be very, very afraid.
Which raises this question: What in the nine TRIBBLE was Marvel thinking when they made this dud? Were they high, drunk, stoned, or a combination of the above?

For some reason he's never quite disappeared, but he's not exactly given a good break of it. In Civil War, he actually tried to register under the Superhuman Registration Act, and the government told him they hated him so much they didn't even want him to register. Aside from a short-lived superteam with She-hulk and some other knockoff characters he's only been an occasional background character or cheap gag.
Well there's a bout 30-40 novels (at least), comics, graphic novels. All based pre and post the original six film series so take your pick. Video games...
In all honesty if they're following the Marvel Model expect Jedi Origins, most likely 1 offs filling in original jedi v sith v madolran conflicts.
Backs Stories of Yoda, Han meeting Chewie, the bounty hunter stories, jabba the hutt...
After the 6 ieThrawn and the New Republic.
If following Marvel Model expect them to sample the literature and hey presto screen time.
So like there's about a dozen films right there and it took me like 5 seconds to think of that.
Also baring in mind there last big film (John Carter) was taken from a book series.
Er yeah but not everyone (as in most except for the group of fans) knows the decades of story behind the character, which though Iconic is not really known or understood or why do you think the first of almost any of the films is a back story.
I saw a documentary a while back saying that the most successful marvel titles sell 100K copies a month Worldwide... If a film relays on that level of fandom alone you'd be lucky to get a Television Movie budget much less an epic blockbuster.
Who knew the History of John Carter, I did and would recommend anyone who reads to check out the depth of adaptions of Edgar Rice Burroughs especially the lesser known character (TARZAN). But it didn't stop them turning out a big budget film production.
But for classic pulp fiction Burroughs Tarzan pisses all over Howard's Conan.
Link: Lucasfilm to Make 2-3 Movies a Year
ScreenRant got the story right.
No, Abrams is doing a fine job dammaging it without disney's help.:rolleyes:
well i have to agree with that 100%

... further pointing out that Lucas is not only a sell out, but a borderline deviant as well :eek:
So Lucas sold out to Disney... Whoopdefrakindo... The guy was a hack writer and mediocre director anyway, he certainly can't hold a candle to a director like Sir Ridley Scott... So Disney are now going to be in charge... I have no beef with that, Disney's output speaks for itself in terms of quality, so Disney being in charge of Star Wars can only mean decent output with no "I think this, and what I say goes" interference from Lucas
