The internet went wild 2 days ago when Disney announced it was buying Lucas Film and all it’s properties, including Star Wars. They even went further and said a new Star Wars movie was coming out in 2015.
Pretty amazing.
I personally am cautiously optimistic. As a long time Star Wars fan, I was one of the many who were devastated by the prequels. So putting the francise in new hands, particularly very rich and competent hands, is a good thing. A great editorial on the subject can be found at the Penny Arcade Report: Disney owns Star Wars? Turn down the snark, and let’s celebrate!
In my opinion, if they release the original, unchanged trilogy in Bluray, it would be worth it.

Possibly good possibly bad, I’m holding off judgement.
yeah it’s way too soon to know for sure, but we might as well be optimistic.
I’m judging now. I’m imagining…
“Return of the Ewoks… with Jar Jar Binks Junior.”
“Me sa Jeddi now! Yes saree!”
Michael Arndt has no SF writing experience. So, not too hopeful.
Not looking good. The got Michael Arndt (writer of Toy Story 3, and Little Miss Sunshine to write it.
