Disney Announces "One Star Wars Movie Per Year" Plan

mvar writes "Various sources report that a few days ago at CinemaCon Disney announced their plan to release, following the 2015 JJ Abrams Episode VII, a new Star Wars movie every 1 (one, uno, une) year. Yep, get your stomachs ready, because that's a lot of Jar Jar Binks."

Are they Sequels?

[djlemma]

Are they planning to continue the story after the events of "Return of the Jedi?" If that's the case, hopefully we can safely assume that Jar Jar will remain in the past.

...they'll make it overly kid-friendly...

Oh no! Huey, Dewey, and Louie Binks! Mesa gettin' very very scared!

Episode 7's already been spoiled

Star Wars: Episode VII - The Gauntlet of Infinity [digitalspy.com]. Kind of a risky decision to bring in the Marvel properties at this point, but we shall see what JJ Abrams can do.

The first scene, in the first movie, is a slo-mo shot of Jar-Jar Binks getting his head sliced off with a lightsaber.

Unfortunately, the second scene has the camera view swooping through the door marked "sekrit cloning lab" into a room filled with tens of thousands of mechanical pods. Lids on the pods slide open in unison, as the camera zooms in to the blank soulless gaze of a Jar-Jar clone. Scrolling title text rolls from the bottom of the screen, receding to a vanishing point:

STAR
WARS
EPISODE VII
Rise of the Jar-Jarmy

What a coincidence

"...Disney announced their plan to release, following the 2015 JJ Abrams Episode VII, a new Star Wars movie every 1 (one, uno, une) year. "

That's funny. I have a plan to not watch a new Star Wars movie every year.

I find your lack of faith disturbing.

Maybe it's hard to breathe because you recently died.

You had me at Jar-Jarmy.

Considering that was the last word of his post I'd say that was a close thing.

Also, typing more crap to lower the caps count. Fuck you, Slashdot, don't tell me how to post. Of course typing in all caps looks like yelling, that is the whole point you rucking retreads....

Watch them in Machete Order

If you have someone who has never seen the Star Wars movies before (yeah right)...

Recommend that they watch them in Machete Order [nomachetejuggling.com].
