And you'd be wrong. It doesn't make sense to me either, but as soon as a month is over, it becomes "last August", or whatever:facepalm
About the the only part of the Star Wars universe I'd like to see on the big screen is an adaption of the Force Unleashed games. I can live without the fabled Episodes 7-9. The whole deal was wrapped up in ROTJ, and I'm okay with that.
Oh, yeah. And hurry up with that live action series. Better still, a sitcom. Brad Garrett as Chewbacca living with Joely Fisher as Liea. Call it "Til Sith".

I'm not arguing the semantics of proper usage, but rather, what was meant. True, last august is 2 months ago, but, I don't know anyone who references it that way in everyday speech. If it was a couple months ago, i'd fully expect him to have said 'he told us a couple months ago', not he told us last august.
Fox does not half-own ANH anymore. Lucas negotiated it back in exchange for prequel distribution rights.
Fox has DISTRIBUTION rights for the OT, but NO ownership of the property itself. They'd have to be involved (or paid off) if the OT were rereleased theatrically, (and I think for any future home video releases), but that's it.

The problem is they own the distribution rights to ANH forever. The other five only until 2020.

...I refer to last August...as last August
The August before last is 2011... Neither here nor there, as it depends on how THEY meant it

For those of you wringing your hands over possible Disney interference in Star Wars fan-based reenactment, costumes and props, etc. I want to say that Disney is not interested in quashing fan enthusiasm for any project. They will drop the legal hammer on anyone stealing intellectual property and profiting from it, though. I am Administrator over at NautilusSubmarine.com, and we have had no problems with Disney in terms of fan-based projects and small production garage kit, or costume manufacture, etc.

I want to hear the major plot lines that could be pursued.
What happens after Episode IV?

With decent make-up, the fairly well-preserved Hamill could pass for a guy in his mid-40s, I reckon. In the Alec Guinness Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy, they did an amazing job on Guinness for a flashback scene where the 65 year-old actor was made to look 20 years younger.
If the new movies are going to be just another load of anaemic wall-to-wall Jedi stuff, I can't get excited. If they're going to open up and include more of the eclectic stuff that made the first one good, then, yeah, okay, maybe, just maybe, something watchable might emerge...
But anyway, I thought Lucas recently said the SW saga was only about Vader, that his story was over, that therefore there would be no more movies. He even went so far as to pour scorn on fans' memories of the 9 episode saga that was talked-about in the 70s. But it seems he's changed his mind yet again about what the story thrust of the saga actually is.

I don't know that we'll "lose" it exactly. It'll just be on another channel. Beyond that, how much longer can it last? In this season they'll hit the magic 100th episode. I know that was the plan for the mythical live action series, but you never know.
Or it could become like MASH. Sure they continued to write compelling and interesting stories, but the series lasted nearly five times as long as the war it was set in.

The empire strikes back and then the Jedi returns. I think you meant Episode VI.

Umm... that is exactly how I felt after the Clone Wars CGI movie came out over four years ago in 2008. I have given up completely on SW since then.
If Disney taking over means that one day I will get "Star Wars" (not "Episode IV", not "A New Hope" but good old unadulterated, 1st released 1977, Star Wars) on Bluray, it is a good thing. That's all I want or care about, and if it happens it will be my final purchase of anything having to remotely do with this dead to me franchise.

On the subject of "losing" the Clone Wars show (which I don't watch) to Disney Channel, I'd expect that the show would at least have to run out whatever contracts are in place before they'd switch networks. I figure they'd let it play out, finish up, and then launch a new show on their own network. There might be other deals in place with Cartoon Network with respect to merchandising and such that they wouldn't want to keep paying on, whereas launching their own show would keep it all in-house.
No... the saga is about the droids... 3PO and R2. Notice in Episode 1 he made sure they were "introduced" to each other?
I know exactly how you feel.. but I got the original uncut 1977 Star Wars movie on VHS tape somewhere here. How much is it worth?
