I really wish they would do it as a reboot so to speak and go back in the day of the Old Republic. Show us new characters, new stories, and make it feel real. Not so much CGI and childishness. Just my wants I suppose.
According to this article on slashfilm.com:
20th Century Fox Still Owns Rights To First Six ‘Star Wars’ Films, Making Original Box Set Difficult | /Film
Fox owns the rights to Star Wars ("episode IV") forever, and the rights to the other 5 films until they revert back to Lucas Film after May 2020.

I wonder if they would re-theme some of the Disney parks to be a Star Wars kind of world. It would be a good fit and would probably breath new life into old themes. Instead of Space Mountain it could be Death Star Attack.

I doubt Disney would do such a thing, and as both a Disney and Star Wars fan, I'd be very much opposed to that.
Some sort of themepark presence would be awesome. Though given that Shanghai Disneyland is next on the agenda, I wonder what the possibility of a non-US debut of any Star Wars attractions is......
Just found the article as well. I'll take the sale as nothing but positive now no matter what happens, especially if he donates $1 billion+ to charity and education. At the very least, we'll know the money went to something positive, rather then just sitting in a bank account.

anyway interesting that lucas would call hamill and fisher in last year to tell them about 7,8, and 9. they must be involved in some way. he wouldn't just call them to have lunch to tell them, about 7,8, and 9 and then say, but you two won't be in it...

Then you lose w/e you were betting with.
Georgie already said this has been in the plans for 1.5 years.
That's nuts man. Never thought it would happen but it seems it's been in the works for a while!
I find this hard to believe. Pretty sure LFL owns it all. Seem to recall Lucas going to them and buying back Star Wars at one point.
Perhaps they own any theatrical release options like 3D. But DVD release is whole different thing.
