Last November Disney bought Lucasfilm and Star Wars/Indiana Jones/ILM from George Lucas as he decided to call it quits and retire from filmmaking as he felt being abused by his fans for the prequels, tinkering of the OT SW, Indy 4 etc. and all that as i think he made the right move to sell it to a respectful company. I mean he was one of the first kids to be at Disneyland when it first opened and he with the company had a friendship for a long time plus Pixar was one of his first companies before Disney bought it in 2006.
Plus Disney gave us those kickass SW and Indy attractions at the parks, i'm glad Lucas is out as he is a great visionary but awkard director and writer but they hired a GOOD writer this time who is Michael Arndt of Toy Story 3 fame as he is a hardcore SW fan and JJ Abrahams is directing as he too is a SW fan than a Star Trek fan as he is leaving ST to do this movie.
This one will follow the events of the old trilogy and filming begins at the end of this month for a Xmas 2015 release.
I am looking forward to this one, afterall Disney did wonders with other stuff they bought like Marvel, Pixar, Muppets and Ghibli.

Casting has began as Carrie Fisher, Mark Hamil, Harrison Ford have signed up to reprise their roles as older versions of their characters and new casting will start for new characters.
JJ Abrahams who is a long time SW fan has co-wrote the script with Michael Arndt and Lawrence Kasner.
I hope this improves over those terrible prequels and now that Lucas has left his company to Disney he will be hands off as he won't direct and write anymore as he is a terrible writer/director and like Pixar/Marvel/Muppet purchases at Disney they leave creative people to make the decisions.
And now that Lucas is finally gone and retired, maybe now Disney can do the right thing to movie lovers and fans, to release FINALLY the original unmolested, unedited, unaltered, unraped original theatrical cuts on blu-ray beautifully restored and remastered from Lucasfilm vaults for HD and we can all be happy. I mean for the past years since 97 when the actual special editions came out in theaters Lucas has been too much of an ass to release the original theatrical cuts on DVD and blu-ray as he keeps butchering, fucking, torturing, raping, mutilating etc. the original movies with added crap especially changing Sabastian Shaw's ghost to that Hayden guy to Vader screaming "Nooooo" at the end of Jedi, unacceptable.
