Aatrek posted:Gene Roddenberry was a 'creative consultant' on the first six Star Trek films. Star Trek II, for example, was so good because Nick Meyer didn't listen to anything he said.  Roddenberry co-wrote and produced The Motion Picture. He was kicked upstairs as "creative consultant" after the first film.

Go with Lucas's original idea and have a new director direct each movie. I say this only because I need to see David Lynch's or Martin Scorsese's Star Wars before I die.

God-drat I would kill for a new Tie Fighter game. I'm still playing Freespace 2 mods because there haven't been any great space combat games in the last decade.

From what I recall of TIE Fighter, it was a fantastic game and I was struck by how they could just bring the 'bad guy' perspective to life in such a fun way, so hopefully we get a sequel, especially with the kind of game that technology is capable of producing these days. But, on that note, since you mention Freespace 2 mods, could you name a couple for me? I've been looking for some Star Wars ones and can't find any.

I can't see how this is anything but a positive, bigger bank, bigger media doors, bigger everything. Why the hell wouldn't it be good for a company like Disney to get Lucasfilm?

I haven't found any good Star Wars ones, I was pining more about the general lack of space sims anymore. I just mean playing Freespace 2 with the SCP graphical goodies.

From the perspective of an employee at Lucas, I'm pleased to see that not much changed internally at either Pixar or Marvel following their acquisition by Disney. If anything, this should bring more work and more opportunities for us internally. On the plus side, silver passes for Disney parks. On the downside, we've been told surprisingly little so far, having only found out about this at around 1pm PST today. Hopefully more information will be forthcoming from management, but none of us peons here really understand the scope or the scale of all this. I'll update as I can.

According to Disney's press release, quote:[...]the present intent is for Lucasfilm employees to remain in their current locations. If that's consistent with how they've done it at Pixar, Marvel, and all their other big acquisitions, then good.

People saying "They can't get any worse than the prequels anyway" lack imagination. NEVER underestimate Lucas' predilection to making GBS threads where he sleeps.

Heard this news earlier and wanted to loving die right on the spot, but this Blitz7x posted:Lucas is only going to be a "creative consultant"? YESSSSS is pretty good news, I think. I hope  Hopefully they get someone up to the task to direct. Another well-directed Star Wars movie is something we haven't seen in like 30 years, and it could potentially be really cool. I mean, the prequel trilogy could have been cool. I could see that all over the place during those movies. The problem was that it was just directed into the loving ground and it just ended up being a giant poo poo stain on one of the greatest franchises of all time instead of a worthy successor. CrushedWill posted:That is only slightly better than Disney getting a hold of it. I think it is still a net plus, and there will be additional movies, but for fucks stake, why did it have to be Disney? That clip was literally the very first thing that popped into my head when I first heard the news

As a former Lucasfilm employee I was shocked at first but not surprised when news hit our studio about this. It'll be the good fit and probably the best fit you can get out of all the studios/distributors out there.. Lucas and Disney always had a good working relationship in the past... It'll be interesting to see how Disney treats the new films...
