Topic: Did you guys hear about Disney's acquisition of Lucasfilm?

Episode 7 is apparently planned for release in 2015.

In any case I'm kind of excited to see what happens here, it might re-energize the franchise a bit.

Very exciting indeed!

We're covering it now with our second news post already:

That would be a cool cameo! I'm curious to see what direction they go in with the movie, whether it'll follow the EU or just be an original story.

I'm just hoping if they choose to do it after the OT that they can get the original cast to reprise their roles (assuming they use the same characters) rather than using new people. Still, between movies like Iron Man and The Avengers I have faith that they can make something entertaining.

Also fingers crossed that they run the video game department better (Battlefield 3 anyone?)
