Disney plans a new Star Wars film in 2015 and one every couple of years afterwards, and assuming from their ambiguous statement, until the END OF TIME.
So, thoughts? There are no fences to sit on here people, you either:
are excited that Star Wars will go on into eternity with a 'new generation', as Lucas himself suggested
or
are horrified.
This party as such believes Star Wars should have ended with Return of the Jedi and the saving of the Galaxy and that should have been that. A collaboration with Disney in their eyes would only result in corruption, disaster and apocalypse as bad as mixing Twilight with The Hobbit. As for making like a million more movies, shouldn't it be quality over quantity? We've experienced tragedy before when Dreamworks couldn't let go of Shrek, and look where that got them...
Across the internet people are taking sides, battle lines are being drawn - empire or rebels? This has accumulated into a number of interesting specimens:

| I personally would like to see this. |

| and all of these. (except the Little Mermaid one, bit weird) |
and, perhaps most creepy:
Has Lucas sold out? Or is he simply passing Star Wars to the next generation? Will Disney manage to make LucasFilm as successful and consistent as Pixar?
Is our lack of faith disturbing?
