Yesterday Disney acquired the rights to Lucasfilms. The rumors are now that Disney will be developing an original story for Star Wars VII. The word is Disney plans on dropping this movie in 2015, Star Wars fans can rejoice.
Now, according to E! Online, a Lucasfilm source said that the plot of the film will be “an original story.” This means that Episode VII will not be an adaptation of any existing licensed Star Wars material. So, for those of you with your hearts set on that Thrawn Trilogy, I’m afraid your dreams reside in the Netherworld of the Force.
