I do not know if this is good or bad news: Disney, already owner of Pixar and Marvel, buys Lucasfilm, the company of Georges Lucas which manages the Star Wars franchise.
Episode VII is already announced for 2015 on the multinational entertainment company's website . A new installment is also planned for release every two or three years. Naturally, Disney is also announcing the full range of merchandise, theme parks, video games, TV series, etc.
On the LEGO side, we will have to find space to store the dozens of sets that are sure to be released in the years to come.
In the years to come, Star Wars will once again invade our screens, and I am delighted that. This universe deserves to continue to live and develop, no offense to the nostalgic and to the conservatives who will one day have to face the facts: The original saga will ultimately only represent a small portion of a universe that does not ceases to evolve.
Georges Lucas is therefore retiring with a small additional nest egg of $ 4 billion but he will remain present on the next films as a consultant. I just hope Disney lets him influence the artistic choices regarding the evolution of the Star Wars universe.
