So he plans to give the majority of the 4 billion to charity?

This changes my opinion of Lucas very much.

[starjoesryan]

That is pretty cool of him to do. I guess he figures he's still wealthy and will remain as such. Very cool.

[muttlord]

Sooo, spin-offs...Could be promising. I like the idea of anything out of the main Skywalker story. What y'all think?

I've been asking for spin offs for a long time now. Ryan, I too have always thought there could be a Han and Chewie movie, and a Yoda move would be amazing, and I've also thought there could be a Boba Fett movie. There's a bunch of movies they could do

If you go to http://pixel-dan.com/ he has some great toy reviews up of the MTT from episode 1, the muppets as Star Wars pack of animal as boba fett, scooter as Lando and linkhogthrob as han solo frozen in Carbonite and the exclusive Jocasta Nu Jedi librarian figure

[starjoesryan]

Cool. I have the Animal as Boba Fett, Scooter as Lando, and Link Hogthrob as Han in carbonite thanks to Grubzilla. I have them on my shelf right now and they are so cool to own. I still have to open my other Muppet Star Wars. I want to find a place that I can put them all together.

[Grubbzilla]

I want them to do Pepe as Admiral Ackbar!

Yea those muppets/star wars figures are pretty bad ass

You could also do a movie with all the bounty hunters being forced to team up against a common threat. It can have a whole Tombstone/The Dirty Dozen in space kind of feel to it.

If you're looking to pick-up a few extra Star Wars figures,

That is one crazy collection.

Two great tastes that taste great together:

Just realized something the other day....the new big screen Star Wars movie is due in 2015. My son will be 4 years old when it premieres. That is almost the same age I was when Empire came out. So he's gonna grow up with Star Wars in almost the exact same way I did . This jazzes me immensely. Not only will I be witness to a new chapter SW, but I'll also get to share this experience with my son as he discovers this fantastic world. This is what this whole thing we're into is all about in my opinion. I'm always excited to find something new but it's even more exciting when you get to discover with someone else. I got a sidekick into this realm of nerdery.

That is unless of course, he's not into it. He may not even like this shit...that would be a bummer.
