Disney made a major announcement last week that they had purchased Lucasfilms for the amount of 4.05 billion dollars and stock shares. With that Disney now owns Star Wars and all rights there in and it is with out saying that the purchase of the famed production company and the epic franchise came with mixed emotions from many . But the nay sayers and haters have to love the news that came with the purchase that Disney plans to proceed with another trilogy of the Star Wars saga the first of which should be out in 2015. harrison Ford already has been quoted that he is willing to resume his role of Solo and when a reporter asked the question to Carrie Fischer would she resume her role . She replied “Of Course. Wouldn’t you”? Mark Hammill had talked to George Lucas about the purchase before hand and said he was told of Disney’s plans and also wants to be involved in the new film. This all said the buzz is that they are getting old and what role they could play ?
Well Harrison Ford proved even at his age he could still be a formidable actor and Fischer and Hammill are still of the age where they can fit right into their roles with no problem. Of course newer characters maybe sons /daughters / apprentices would have to be introduced and C3PO, R2D2, and Chewie would also have to be included (and are little easier to cast) to make it an action flick of non stop, heart stopping, comic book goodness that we loved from the original movies.
As far as Disney. They have done right by the acquisition of Marvel and Pixar. Keeping faithful those companies style that made them famous. So there should be no reason why they would not do the same with Star Wars .
