The company also announced that Star Wars 7 exists and is aiming for a 2015 release date, which makes this the most insane thing ever. Lucasfilm co-chairman Kathleen Kennedy will become president of Lucasfilm under Disney, and will also act as executive producer on "new Star Wars feature films, with George Lucas serving as creative consultant."

Buying LucasFilm for all the franchise rights makes perfect sense given the long history of the two companies collaborating. Filming Star Wars Ep. 7 does not.

Regarding Star Wars Ep. 7, I say: who cares? They've comprehensively ruined the franchise with Eps 1/2/3 already, what's the worst they can do? Ruin it some more? Fucking have at it cunts.

Not that anyone cares, but it was the other way around.
Star Wars Ep. 7: The Next Generation. Yeah, they can ruin it more.

maybe it'll be the Thrawn trilogy that should have been made instead of the prequels

It always has been George Lucas' intention to make an episode 7, 8 and 9, so it's no real surprise that this was going to happen.

Until they release the original trilogy post Lucas's madness the Star Wars franchise is dead to me.
