I heard about that transaction. I had no idea Lucas Films was worth that much to anyone:sh

Nope! Landed in a trash compactor!

Re: General Star Wars Bizarre things
 

ILM is part of LucasFilms LTD, so I'm assuming it was included in the sale. They are the premier special effects company in Hollywood, so I'd be willing to bet that the $4 billion was actually a steal for Disney.

Re: General Star Wars Bizarre things
 

Meh...
That's part of the Star Wars universe that I ignore. I'm not a fan of all the Mandalorian Boba Fett backstory crap either.

Re: General Star Wars Bizarre things
 

Re the Disney buyout, I'm of two minds. When The Mouse does something right, he does it right. When he drops the ball, it busts right through the floor.

The keys will be the right script, the right actors, and the right director . . . and just enough studio oversight to keep things rolling without screwing it up.

Re: General Star Wars Bizarre things
 

Lucas wrote scripts for part 7-9 a long time ago. Hopefully they follow them.

Harrison Ford said he'd never do another Star Wars film, but money talks. I'd love to see the original cast in the new films, even if they are minor roles. Hey, the old cast worked for the Star Trek films. Why not have the original three Star Wars cast reprise their roles? Mark Hammil is still younger than Christopher Lee and Alec Guiness at this point. Carrie Fisher and Ford could be diplomats in the new films, since they are too old to be the focal points of the action.

Does this qualify as bizarre??

Sorry man:D

Re: General Star Wars Bizarre things
 

Michael Arndt will be penning the script for the new Star Wars movie.
Harrison Ford hated/hates the Han Solo charatcter (it's why he was frozen in carbonite at the end of ESB; he had only signed on to do two films and was reluctant to do a third so Lucas needed a way to explain Solo's absence in case he didn't participate in ROJ).

Re: General Star Wars Bizarre things
 

Just ran across this in an article claiming that Harrison Ford has said he is interested in the new movies. :hm

http://fullscalefalcon.com/

Pretty interesting attention to detail there :tu

Re: General Star Wars Bizarre things
 

It's actually pretty cool. Good time waster. It's obviously a gimmick, but an easy way to burn some time if you're bored in line, or something.
That's really interesting. Why did he hate the character so much? I could google it, but I'd rather hear it from someone who knows it themselves.

Star Wars toys foster learning?

Re: General Star Wars Bizarre things
 

Solo is a pretty flat character. Also, he thought the character had pretty much served the films' purpose and wouldn't be very relevent for future films after Empire. Ford wanted more challenging work from what I remember, but he has shown interest in reprising his role of late.

Re: General Star Wars Bizarre things
 

Anyone who's read a few of the Star War novels (and I'm not necessarily recommending one do so :D ) knows that the Han Solo character does develop more depth . . . if anything in this universe has any true depth. :r

Re: General Star Wars Bizarre things
 

Coran Horn would make a fascinating movie spinoff character :)

Re: General Star Wars Bizarre things
 

I agree completely, but as far as the original trilogy went...

Sort of a similar situation with the Nimoy "Spock" character in the first three Trek films. Nimoy was only in half of the first film, got killed off in the second, and was resurrected in the third due to character issues (and a contract dispute).

'Star Wars' creator George Lucas engaged

http://omg.yahoo.com/news/star-wars-...031023663.html

Now I ain't sayin' she a gold digger...

Re: General Star Wars Bizarre things
 

Great, now that song's stuck in my head :tg

Re: General Star Wars Bizarre things
 

They've been together for 5-6 years already now, and looking at her credentials, I don't think she's hurting for money. :sh

Re: General Star Wars Bizarre things
 

Probably more of an offhand comment about the timing of him selling his Lucasfilm rights for over 4 billion, then getting engaged. An attempt at subtle humor would be my guess.

Congrats to the couple!

Re: General Star Wars Bizarre things
 

$4+B that he's giving to charity. But true, could very well be Dice-humor, I'm only working on one cup of coffee so far this morning. Or maybe Dice has something against guys marrying women 20 years their junior...
