      Yesterday, The Walt Disney Co. unveiled plans to make a number of spin-off movies set a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away — in addition to the post-Return of the Jedi trilogy that had already been announced.



      Entertainment Weekly has learned details on two of the spin-off projects: A young Han Solo saga, focusing on the wisecracking smuggler’s origin story, and a bounty hunter adventure with Boba Fett at the center of a rogue’s gallery of galactic scum.

        Okay, when I first learned of Disney buying Lucasfilm, I was excited. Then there came the news of JJ Abrams directing and I was cautiously optimistic. Yesterday's news had me slightly worried. Now I'm just getting scared.

        I think this could be really good. I mean look what they have done with Avengers and the individual movies that go along with it. Can't wait to see Iron Man 3.

        As far as I know, the whole plan of the Iron Man, Thor, Hulk and Captain America movies all leading up to an Avengers movie existed before Disney purchased Marvel in 2009. Which makes sense because Iron Man and Incredible Hulk were both released in 2008.

        So, technically, Disney doesn't really deserve the credit, or the blame, for that.

        Disney will deserve ALL the blame for this.

      Very cool. 225 is better than 000. Gonna offer it on Kindle as well? Black and white translates well to e-paper. Either way, LMK how to buy a hardcopy.
