My only fear is it getting watered down and too "kid-friendly". Because that would just be lame.

Well this is a surprise. Seeing how they handled the Marvel Studios movies like The Avengers, i think Star Wars will be just fine under Disney. Maybe the 7th movie will be an Old Republic era perhaps?

I also take issue with the stubborn attitude taken towards re-releasing the OT, remastered but otherwise untouched, whenever a new movie format comes out. Fans shouldn't have to petition to get both the Special Editions and the Original Editions released. It's silly. Like all franchises, Star Wars has hits and misses. Movies, books, games, you name it, there are good and bad from the license. It's really no different than the other modern day sci-fi mega franchise Star Trek. Both have produced moments of incredible storytelling, and both have produced some of the most embarrassing crap ever seen. All I know is that Episode 3 still commands one of the most heartbreaking sequences in movie history with Order 66, on par with Spock's death. The needs of the many.... Just be happy it's Disney. People are still stuck in the "Disney is for kids" mentality, but the reality is they're now one of the largest media giants in existence today and they command a huge number of brands under their umbrella that are managed well. It's certainly better than letting the brand languish in legal hell with projects waiting in the wings that will never see the light of day.

I am curious about those who want the Star Wars novels made into Ep7. Frankly I think the only way Ep7 can work is by giving the director as much freedom as possible. The novels should never dictate what the films can or cannot do.

That being said, the next film should be released in 2017. Not before, and not after. 2017. |

Disney sort of realised the only way the theme-parks can survive is if they bring in new franchises.
I am looking forward to buying the Chogokin King Robot Mickey & Friends, myself. Spoiler for size:

Yep, they own everything, but in my opinion, I think they might look into getting in the Anime business as well (I know that they have WDA Japan (btw, that did classic like Darkwing Dark, Gaygorles, and other) was shut down in 2005). But I think that with the success that they had with Kingdom Hearts. I think they might try to get their hands into the Anime pot if they want.

Well, that was unexpected. Right now, I can't really tell if this is a good or a bad thing. It will all depend on who they get to work on these upcoming films. Might end up being better than we think.
A Star Wars sequel seems pretty necessary though.
