What Lego sets do you think we will get in 2015?
I guess I shouldn't be surprised by any of this, from buying of Lucasfilm to more Star Wars movies, but I still am surprised.
Considering Lego has worked with the Disney Franchise as well as Star Wars, I guess I'm not too convinced yet that this will mean any change in the short term, but I could see maybe long term. I'm sure this is too big of a money maker for both parties to rock the boat too much.
But what I imagine the next SW trilogy (Ep. 7-9) to be is a really messed up universe as they try to make it 'new & different'. For a Bond-comparison, may I present the new and improved 'Black Bond':

Prepare to 'jump the shark' everyone!
My real concern over this isn't Star Wars but Indiana Jones. Hopefully Spielberg's interest in that franchise will prevent Disney from remaking or rebooting Indy.
Really kinda sad that they would carry on the movies, but for those getting tired of remake after remake of Lego Star Wars sets, here's some opportunity for some new ones. I wonder what they'll be be...
@CCC I discovered recently Brosnan was Irish. I was a bit shocked. Being massively sexist I wouldn't be able to buy into a female Bond. Anything else that's fine. Just not Bond.
On topic it just doesnt seem like a good move to let Disney release a film every two to three years. At some point its going to reach saturation point and it will start to turn people off (if you haven't already been). In the same way people are losing interest in the merchandise.
While not lego news really (sorry for that) it is news that will be interesting to Lego and what it means for the future of Star Wars lego and the 10 year deal recently signed and oddly the deal with Disney that lego also has. But one thing is for sure, with more films now on the cards and who knows what else we will be seeing so much more, which we knew but for anyone who thought the brand was dead and others might take its mantle in the lego universe... Think again, because at $4 billion and change Disney will milk every last cent out of this one and that means lots and lots of lego tied to every Star Wars project they concoct.

Again sorry it is not really lego news but I think news that feeds the future of Star Wars lego.. Maybe :)
On a side note @BrickDancer, I liked Pierce as Bond, but grew to hate him as soon as Daniel Craig took over. In my eyes, he's the ideal vision of how Bond should look and act. Can't see Idris Elba doing it or a female . Too unorthodox
thank goodness it wont be ten more years of MF and tie fighers
Nothing in the recent movies was nearly as cool or scary as those AT-AT walkers.
Clone Wars gave me my Starwars fix. But I still think the live-action movies need a revival. And hey, We could get more Lego Indiana Jones too!!!
I'm off to watch the teddy bears defeat the Empire again! :)
Episode 7 won't be animated, it will be live action like Ep1-6
I have a bad feeling about this.
He did good work for a long time, but at some point, you have to give someone else a shot at it.
This is a chance for someone else to run with it, no reason to expect Ep 7 to be like Ep 1, a different group of people will be doing it, people who are not married to the past, who watched the reaction to Ep 1 for the past 13 years.
