Sequels, adaptations, remakes, revivals, etc

...apparently George Lucas has sold Lucasfilm to Disney, which will now produce a new Star Wars trilogy. I know that the expanded universe has been going on for years and years, but still: does the world really need more Star Wars movies?

As someone on my facebook said yesterday:

"Oh no, someone might make 3 really shitty Star Wars movies! Oh wait.. George Lucas already did that."

IMO, Disney could do a better job at this point.

If we get a new Star Wars film, I think I'll go see it no matter what. But it better be good. I'm not familiar with the expanded universe, but I suppose the events after the original trilogy will already have been covered by books?

Lucas has long said that he meant Star Wars to cover 9 films. He also has always said that he wanted the last 3 to be made after his time was over. This was inevitable, I'd say.

Does the world need more books about Fitz and the Fool? We already have an original trilogy, a new trilogy '15 years later', really, isn't that enough?

Haha
