STAR WARS IS FOREVER!

 "Star Wars Is Forever" has been the mantra that has been stated time and again over the last few years in Star Wars fandom. We true believers always thought so, as we would celebrate Star Wars no matter if it's still playing in movie theaters, or in some fashion on television. We love it and we live it. It holds great memories of the times that we had growing up, in most cases...

 I feel that in recent times we have all felt a little discouraged that the flame of Star Wars was fading a bit. George Lucas, the creator of our imagined world was indeed retiring, and perhaps that world that we loved would no longer hold new stories for us to treasure.
  We still, and always will, hold a fondness for the days that were, and they WOULD live on with us forever no matter what.

This week a HUGE announcement dropped on the world as from out of the blue came word that Disney was purchasing Lucasfilm, and all of it's properties, and was eager to make more Star Wars films, television, and expansion in their theme parks! Bob Iger immediately stated that we can look forward to a brand new Star Wars Trilogy of movies, beginning with episode VII, to hopefully arrive in 2015!!

I don't know about you but this announcement totally blew my mind!! NEW STAR WARS??!!
 Lucas will be a creative consultant, but the main job of the new movies will be passed to Kathleen Kennedy, the new CEO of Lucasfilm, to produce the new installments with a new director.

  This is  giant!!
   No one knows what the future holds in the new movies. It's a new day filled with excitement, and speculation, for a new era, and a new generation of Star Wars fans!
   The original trilogy will always be my favorite films, but I cannot wait to see what is in store for us in the near future! It's just a very exciting time to be a Star Wars fan!!

  May The Force Be With Us All!!!
