Disney & Star Wars
Did you hear?! Disney bought Lucas Film! Sold/ bought for 4.05 billion dollars. And they are making the next episode in the StarWars saga. I wonder how Episode 7 is going to be.
Re: Disney & Star Wars
Vhati and I had a discussion about this yesterday at lunch (so 10/30).
We both agreed that, for them to be able to do it right, they have two options, neither of which we think they will take.
The first, and best, option is to hire Timothy Zahn, author of the Heir to the Empire trilogy of books and turn THOSE books into the next movies. If they don't do that, then the next best idea is to set Episode 7 at least 100 years after the original three movies took place.
With all the books that have been published since Jedi came out, which Lucas said was cannon, Disney really is kinda getting into a snake pit with making Episode 7.
Didn't Lucas write one huge story that he devided into 9 parts? And the reason for making the middle ones first 4-6 was because they were the most interesting. Then he started on the first 3 because they lay the foundation (most boring part of the story) and he personally wanted to do them before he died. If this is true Disney will be working off of what he wrote not someone else's most likely. But I wouldn't know if its basses off someone else's book since I don't read them.
Episodes 1-3 were recently written stories, inspired by his kids; which is why a lot of things that happened and were said in the original trilogy were pretty much ret-coned (ie: Leia said she remembered her birth mother during Jedi).
I asked Vhati about it, he's pretty much my go to guy on Star Wars lore (except he didn't know what Luke Skywalker's last name was originally supposed to be and I did :-P). He said it is a myth about the movies already being written.
A good showing of that is that Luke and Leia weren't originally supposed to be siblings; when fans took to Han Solo more than Luke, they re-wrote Empire and Jedi to make Luke and Leia siblings instead of the romantic storyline that was originally planned.
That, and considering how popular the original trilogy was, they wouldn't have waited this long to get them out to an audience.
Huh. I stand corrected. I could of swore up and down that was true. I'll have to rewatch all my behind the scenes and interviews again. I guess I miss heard what was said.
it is possible, and very likely, that there was something written, or ideas had been put down somewhere, but considering how drastically Episodes 1-3 changed the entire mythos; whatever those ideas may have been, were most likely scrapped and tossed to the wind.
