Twitter and other social media sites went bonkers yesterday when Walt Disney announced its acquisition of George Lucas’ Lucasfilm production company for an astounding $4.05 billion. But this wasn’t the only thing that drove the internet crazy, as hordes of Star Wars fans tweeted their concerns regarding Disney’s proclamation that Star Wars Episode VII is set for 2015. Luckily for fans, Disney CEO Bob Iger and Lucasfilm sources said today that the latest installment in the multi-million dollar franchise will be an original story with Lucas’ “intent is to retire.” Lucas got a bad rap in 1999 when he followed up Return of the Jedi with Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace. Although raking in millions, this first part of Lucas’ prequel trilogy is considered a flop among fans and is often mocked for its ridiculous characters like Jar Jar Binks. While Iger said that “the film is in what I’ll call early-stage development right now,” a Lucasfilm source has made it clear that Star Wars VII will be “an original story.” In a press statement released yesterday, Lucas said that “one of my greatest pleasures has been to see Star Wars passed from one generation to the next.” ~Brandon Bastaldo
