Disney vs Star Wars????
The reports are coming out all over the place over the past few days and it appears that something I have feared for a since the Disney takeover took place is coming to pass. Since October of last year, when it was announced that Disney had purchased Lucasfilm and that Episode 7 was going to come out in 2015, I was stoked and yet held some reservations. Knowing a little of the backgrounds of both companies, I knew Disney wouldn't waste time pushing the Star Wars brand around to make money and it all starts with episode 7. Why are you afraid you ask. Let me explain. Disney announced that Episode 7 in October of 2012, with a release date of 2015. JJ Abrams was named director in January of this year. No casting has been announced and rumors now state script is at square one with the departure of Michael Arndt . Now this gives them a year and a half assuming they are shooting for a summer 2015 release. A year and a half.
