When news of Disney’s acquisition of Lucasfilm and plans to film Episode VII showed up in my Twitter feed, I seriously contemplated the possibility that I may have stumbled into some strange alternate universe. Having assured myself that wasn’t the case, I then recoiled in horror at the thought of Mickey Mouse being digitally inserted into the Episode IV cantina scene in future re-releases. But as fellow geek John Scalzi notes, new ownership could breathe new life into the franchise. Lucas hasn’t exactly proven himself indispensable with the last few Star Wars movies and Disney certainly has the wherewithal to attract top-flight talent to work on Episode VII.
And white they’re at it, I wouldn’t mind seeing Pixar do an Indiana Jones film
