Walt Disney Company to acquire LucasFilm, release new StarWars in 2015

Ever since Disney got involved with Marvel's properties you've seen a rise in quality, most notably the Avengers, because they've helped put some of the right pieces in place as they have with their internal studio with Pixar. I'm excited especially if they use some of the books. The only area of concern for me is casting ie what do they do with the returning key characters like Luke, Leia, and Han with them all really showing their age now. I hate the idea of recasting but you almost have to which if done Nathan Fillion for Han Solo please. This is such a treasured part of a lot of our life's or at least childhoods so fingers crossed this goes right.

I would think they will definitely re-cast. You almost have to given how old everyone is now. Maybe bring a couple of them back in cameos.

Well FWIW:
Star Wars sequel trilogy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Wars_sequel_trilogy)
At a 1997 Special Edition press conference Lucas remarked, "[E]veryone said, 'Well, are you going to do sequels to the first three?' But that was an afterthought; I don't have scripts on those stories. The only notion on that was, wouldn't it be fun to get all the actors to come back when they're 60 or 70 years old and make three more about them as old people. That's how far that has gone, but the first six will definitely get finished."

Well FWIW:
Star Wars sequel trilogy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Wars_sequel_trilogy)like the many star wars books, there are many conflicts to what lucas has said he would or wouldn't or wants to or doesn't want to do w the final 3 episodes.

Thankfully we can probably scrap whatever Lucas said.

Star Wars is a amazing film and how it has crossed generations. I am not a big fan of it in the sense I have collectables and what nots but I do enjoy the films.

What amazes me is my 4.5 year old son loves Darth Vader; he stumbled across DV at a store or something. I never introduced him to DV or the movies yet a film nearly as old as me was able to peak the interest of a 4.5 year old. He will be dressed up as DV tonight for Halloween.

I can also remember going to the Star Wars The New Hope in Vienna, Va with my dad and having the hair raise up on the back of my neck when DV walked by for the first time in the film.

I have seen ever film on it's first run in the theater.

So any word on what this star wars is supposed to be about? Is it going to be in between the 2 series or take place after? Any idea who the characters and villain will be?
