As I recall...none of Jabba's harem was on the sail barge when it blew up, but that was a good point about her just up and going to Tatooine to save Han.
I will say this. Some of the potential downsides to this deal, such as Disney interfering too much with Star Wars, are almost guaranteed to be non-issues. Look at Marvel, the comics have been running with no interference at all.
Spielberg, Zack Snyder, and Tarantino all turned down directing the new trilogy. Well, they weren't asked by Disney, but by interviewers, and they all said they'd rather not.
Good on Spielberg. He's too big a friend of Lucas to bring anything new to the franchise, so it'd just be like Lucas directing again. As for Snyder, unless he proves me wrong with Man of Steel, his style is way too wrong for the Star Wars universe. And the farther away from my Star Wars Tarantino is, the happier I'll be.
I doubt there's a director alive that you'd be happy with, and if there is, I wouldn't like the choice.
Jon Favreau, J.J. Abrams, Joss Whedon. Sadly, Joss will be far too busy with Avengers 2, and J.J. basically said that he's excited, but more to see it than make it. Favreau seemed open to it though.
I'd like to see M. Night Shyamalan, Michael Bay or Uwe Boll do it.
Shyamalan= Han Solo turns out to be Luke Skywalker's real sister.
Bay= Explosions every five seconds, and Luke Skywalker is a giant robot. And Lando dies in the middle of the opening crawl.
Boll= The first actual bomb in the Star Wars saga.
I'd like to see M. Night Shyamalan, Michael Bay or Uwe Boll do it.
God no. Just... No. Bay is an idiot.
then again, I'm not that excited for another 3 star wars movies. I just feel like Lucas kind of ruined it with the last three. Even though I liked them... It just wasn't the same. Maybe someone will pull it out of the hat.
I just don't see how they will cast them or where they will pull material from to make a new cast, or.. any of it.
I read the news about this... Does this mean the fall of LucasArts? I could compare this event to the Fall of Constantinople...
That depends on your perspective. Most think LucasArts fell back when they stopped making games that weren't Star Wars/Indiana Jones.
I personally think LucasArts fell after cancelling Battlefront 3 and firing pretty much everyone that was involved with The Force Unleashed and its sequel. They have consistently been ignoring the game franchises that have made them the most money. Battlefront, The Force Unleashed, Rogue Squadron.

Oh fez,I hate every single suggestion you made. Jon Favreau isn't actually an interesting director. Cowboys and Aliens was friggin horrible. J J Abrams is typical and Whedon would make it feel like a TV plot. Well, Whedon is the most competent choice, and Abrams isn't bad, but he'd be too predictable. I want something special.I want a director I can't immediately tell what they'd do. I only liked Spielberg because I feel he deserves the chance if he wanted it. My personal pick now is Duncan Jones. I don't know what he would do, but I have compete faith in him.
As ya said Fawful, Abrams would do very well(look at what he did for Trek), but also would be very predictable. And I think he's pretty much taken himself off the table. I guess muckin about with one enormous sci-fi universe is enough for him.
And Whedon would be good, but he'll also be way too busy to take on Star Wars. As much as I love Whedon and would love to see how he'd reinvigorate Star Wars, I'd rather see The Avengers 2.

I love it when a post with "Uwe Boll" in it is taken seriously.
Abrams said no when interviewed. It's too scary a task to him, as a fan, which was also Snyder's reason. Star Trek was something he tackled as a non-fan so it carried no fear. Favreau said maybe, but I think he's only interested in 7 by itself.

I think it's funnier that of all three of those directors, Bay was the one to get the "Oh god no". Yes, Bay's movies are mindless special-effects movies that happen to have a semblance of a plot behind them(Except Transformers 2 where it had a 1st draft of a story), but considering the original Transformers was never anything more complex than giant robots beating the bolts out of each other, I still maintain he did good. Were they good movies? No, not by any means. The stories started out really good and progressed downwards, while the robot fighting actions scenes started out slow and progressed up. But considering that robots beating each other up should have been the SOLE expectation for those movies, I think everyone gives him far too much crap. But I still enjoy them. They are entertainment. Plus, I still like Armageddon and The Rock. Does any of this mean I'd want Bay in the director's chair for Star Wars 7? No. We already have a trilogy of mindless special-effect films that try to have a semblance of a plot. We don't need another one.
I'm sorry, but "Leia" is always going to be a better stand-in for "Lisa".
I can totally see Luke saying that.
Luke: How dare you talk to me like that!
[pushes Leia back on the couch] Luke: You should tell me everything! Leia: I can't talk right now. Luke: [sits next to Leia] Why, Leia? Why, Leia? Please talk to me, please! You are part of my life! You are everything! I could not go on without you, Liea. Leia: You're scaring me.
[Leia gets up, but Luke also gets up] Luke: You're lying! I never hit you! You are tearing me apart, Leia! Leia: Why are you so hysterical?

1) She's a horrible role model;
2) The reason she will never be adopted in the Disney Princess line is the same as to why Giselle will never be a Disney Princess;
3) She wasn't made with "Disney Princess" in mind anyway.
Oh, well, if you're going to bring common sense into it...

Well he does have experience ruining childhood memories thanks to The Last Airbender...
Oh great, you got this song stuck in my head.

On the nose. Though I think most would say Uwe Boll is worse than just "total shite".
Oh hai Luke.
....that actually sounds like Lucas dialogue....

this is close
Actually, on second thought, the line would be: "You're tearing me apart, Chewy! No seriously, put my arm back where you found it!"
It would take place after a game of space chess.
I'm sorry, but "Leia" is always going to be a better stand-in for "Lisa".
