News broke today that Disney is buying Lucasfilm for $4.05 billion US. Lucasfilm is, of course, George Lucas' company which owns the rights to Star Wars and Indiana Jones. With control of these and other franchises, Disney has announced that
Star Wars Episode 7 will be released in 2015.
What do you think of this? Are you excited for the possibility of a continuation of the Star Wars film series? What direction should the story take? Should it pick up where Episode 6, Return of the Jedi, left off or tell an entirely new tale?
