I Sense a Great Disturbance in the Force.
 

Lucas has teamed up with Disney to make Episode 7 set to release 2015. I may have actually been excited about this if the last three films weren't sub-par.

WOOOO!! *doing the happy dance*
Best news in a while.

"The force is strong with Mickey Mouse.
The Walt Disney Company announced on Tuesday that it is purchasing Lucasfilm in a stock and cash purchase valued at $4.05 billion. The deal includes plans for Star Wars: Episode VII, aiming for release in 2015. Walt Disney chairman and CEO Bob Iger announced in a shareholder conference call that the studio also plans to release Episode VIII and Episode IX. “Our longterm plan is to release a new Star Wars feature film every two to three years,” he added, noting that the deal came with “an extensive and detailed treatment for the for the next three movies.”"

George Lucas won't be at the helm, so at least the (future) movies might have a chance.

Does this make Princess Leia officially a disney princess?

Are you sure this isn't some stunt from The Onion? ;)

If it is a stunt, it's got a LOT of people convinced. Lot of reputable sources are confirming it.

Greatest. Statement. Ever.

That would make her my second favorite Disney Princess.

My question is now that Disney owns both Lucasfilm and Marvel, does that mean this is cannon? Oh! And the Star Wars Episode of the Muppet Show!
