Indy is part of the deal. So he will get rebooted, probably within the next 5 years I'd wager.

moon_tan said:Very big news today. George Lucas has sold Lucasfilm Ltd. to Disney today.
Disney says they will film Star Wars: Episode 7 to be released in 2015. Then Episode 8 and 9 will be release 2016 and 2017.
I thought I would never hear the day when they would continue the Star Wars Saga beyond Star Wars: Return of the Jedi (1983) (Episode 6).
George Lucas has said "No" for 29 years...until now. George Lucas will be a consultant.

The original unsullied Star Wars trilogy could now be re-released since Disney (who interested in profits and would profit a crap ton off a release of the original SW films) now owns them, rather than Lucas, who wants to see them buried and forgotten.
My two cents on the next trilogy is have Mark Hamill return as Luke, but more as an older, wiser, "Alec Guinness/Ben Kenobi" type. Having him restart the Jedi Order would be cool. I'm not a big EU guy so I'm sure others have some better ideas.

Sakis said:Stop thinking like a consumer and try to see things as a spectator of an art form. Indy and Star Wars would, somehow, found their way to the silver screen sooner or later. There is no doubt about that. So, irrelevant of what anybody believes about the last films we've seen, now we have reached the point that either film will take new directions away from their original creator. From this point on we'll be seeing other people's perception of an Indy or Star Wars adventure. For better or worst.

It was only a matter of time before it happened but this is THE WORST Lucasfilm news in the history of Lucasfilm news!
