Suhweeeeeeeeeet.

That was funny.


And yea, I think it can only get better.

I wonder what they will do with Indy too.
I didn't think the last Indy was bad, but it has Pandora written all over it.

Could you imagine if they released an American Graffiti sequel.
I could so see Disney doing that and cashing in with all the cruisers out there.

I'm with you on the first 2, but you can have my American Graffiti sequel tickets

Yeah I thought it was still enjoyable. Some bits were a bit huh? But overall a fun romp in parts, could of been worse! Was VERY relieved when the "Indy's son takes up the hat" at the end was made to be a joke though.

This is really good news! I mean, how can you design a 9-part movie/story experience but only release 6 parts? Not good! Also, I am more concerned who Disney is going to use to direct the movies; that can be critical. Peter Jackson was, obviously, the right man for the LOTR trilogy and he did an awesome job with the King Kong remake.

At any rate I hope they don't wait too long - I'm not getting any younger.

I hear that!

Very interesting. I will see them, but I hope they improve on Episodes 1 - 3.

"Star WarsEpisode 7 is targeted for release in 2015" Woop! Woop! Can't come fast enough now. And from the beginning Lucas has said it was a 9 Episode series so I'm sure he already knows how the next three movies will play out. As creative consultant, he'll hold some heavy sway and yeah, things can't "get worser" than the jar-jar episodes, esp the first. Although, come to think of it, Disney's movie redition of "The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy" was disappointing to me....just hard to keep the expectations down i suppose.

Overall a good thing, more Star Wars! And Mark Hamill can go work there after he's done on the "Project Fedora", er, project. SPOILER ALERT!!!...not...maybe???

Disney's HHGTTG was a 'disappointment'?? You are FAR too kind. It was atrocious, awful, despicable.

Thrawn Trilogy...

Now...!

That is all..

lol

I hope Disney doesn't close down Lucasart since I know Disney are not into making video games. I am looking forward to 1313 from Lucasart.

I can't see them doing that.

LucasArts Star Wars games are cash cows.

They will probably let them work independently the same way as Marvel.

As demonstrated by the prequels, console and computer games have formed the core aspect of Star Wars marketing. In fact, i'm hoping that now they're returning to continue the events of the classic trilogy that we'll see reissued Star Wars games like X-Wing, Tie Fighter, Dark Forces etc...

I think LucasArts is in danger of being closed down. I agree that Star Wars and some of their other games make a lot of money but they can always license LucasArts properties to other developers such as Bioware/E.A. developing The Old Republic or Telltale making Tales of Monkey Island. I'm not sure how valuable the actual developers at LucasArts will be to Disney as they already own a game development studio(s). Although I did really enjoy the story told in the original Force Unleashed game developed at Lucasarts.

Urgh - this is starting to sound the same as how the James Bond franchise treats its lineup of games by outsourcing it to Activision to produce no-frills, uninspired, by the numbers Call Of Duty clones. That's not to say Lucasarts are producing quality titles. Frankly, they haven't released anything worthwhile since Grim Fandango or Rogue Squadron. The Force Unleashed was interesting as a concept but with sleep inducing button mashing gameplay.
