Telltale Games

It wouldn't have to be super high budget. If it was supposed to take place around the same time as the original trilogy, I doubt anyone would really complain if it was only slightly prettier than that.

Stockholders would. Disney execs didn't pay half of every dollar the company made last year to make low-budget network TV margins.

I didn't say low budget. I just said not super high budget. I'm looking for a middle ground somewhere in there. And I'm not thinking this would be completely instead of movies. I just feel that three movies a year is excessive and that the story would be better served through a different medium, such as a TV show and then punctuated with movies occasionally.

I doubt they're intending to make three Star Wars movies a year, at any point. I could be misreading

*Darth Marsden* · 11/15/2012, 12:50 pm

Three LucasArts films, sure. That could be anything from Indy to...

...uh...

Mr Nutt · 11/15/2012, 01:33 pm

Clearly it's going to be Howard the Duck.

I would play the hell out of that game.

I wonder if maybe some of those three films a year will be ILM computer animated films, but distributed through Lucasfilm (instead of outside studios like Nickelodeon in the case of Rango).

That would make sense. Not to mention new IPs like Red Tails.

Secret Fawful · 11/15/2012, 06:15 pm

Robert Pattinson is interested in joining the cast.

Squeee.

Depends on the size of the company.

It sounds like LucasFilms wants to go from being a boutique to a big time studio like Time Warner or Paramount.

Wouldn't be surprised to see Disney stretch the LucasFilm name to cover some of the stuff they'd release as a Touchstone film. Leave Touchstone to be more directly mature/dramatic movie territory and use LucasFilm for big family adventure films that don't quite fit under the Walt Disney Pictures label. That'd be a fast way to do nothing but still "pump out" a few "LucasFilm" movies per year.

BlankCanvasDJ · 11/18/2012, 01:12 pm

Brad Bird won't direct Star Wars either.

Well that one's a shame. On to Johnston!

Who Framed Roger Rabbit comes to mind.

BlankCanvasDJ · 11/18/2012, 06:41 pm

So maybe Lucasfilm could become the studio they use for things like National Treasure, Prince of Persia and The Lone Ranger? Yeah, I could see that.
