![]() The series is supposed to take place a few years before The Force Awakens so I think it’s not wrong of me to conjecture that we’ll get some back stories. Whatever the content, it begins this fall. I would also like something more about Lor San Tekka and how he knows about Leia and the Force, and his relationship to Kylo Ren. Perhaps we will get more background on Finn from his initiation as Stormtrooper FN-2187. I’m with the Resistance this FallīB-8, Poe, Finn-who else? An animated series based on characters and events from the sequel trilogy? Yes, please! Just like the other trilogies, there are plenty of story gaps to fill, and Dave Filoni is the person to do it. Somehow, it will happen.Īfter all that, however, I still wonder about another idea: how about finally releasing the unaltered cuts of the original trilogy in high quality? Who knows if Disney or Lucasfilm is even considering it, but all these purchases and distribution negotiations do break down some of the barriers that have been preventing such an undertaking.

A brief look at some appetizing recent news first, then we'll get to our main entree… Disney Buys a FoxĪs a Star Wars fan, only one thing interested me about this business-merger-purchase thing between Disney and 20th Century Fox: Can Disney now have unhindered distribution of the original trilogy? The very first movie, Star Wars (as it was called back in the day) was distributed by 20th Century Fox, and from what I understand, the deal between Lucasfilm and Fox meant that Fox had exclusive distribution of Star Wars… forever. ![]()
