Because I don't trust TMZ

That was unexpected.

Yesterday, upon the stair,
I met a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
I wish, I wish he'd go away...

Rough.

Wow, that's pretty big. So I guess Lucas is retiring now?

This can only be a good thing.  New Star Wars movies were always an inevitability; but this way, we didn't have to morbidly wait for George Lucas to die before someone else could do anything with the property.

Obviously I made my thread title too subtle  :P

Obviously. :rolleyes:

At least they're not making God-damned prequels.

In the right hands it could be interesting to see what future stories there might be in the Star Wars universe...

Judging by comics and novels, and the Clone Wars series, there's good stuff and plenty of bad stuff, so someone new coming in could do good, or they could mess it up.

That's why I like the Old Republic setting - it's kind of a re-imagining of the universe, without much of the canon baggage.

His ideas written by someone that knows how to write a screenplay is good. See Empire Strikes Back.

could be good, could be bad.  For the moment, I'll take it as good news.
