Disney to make new 'Star Wars’ films, buy Lucasfilm

A decade after George Lucas said Star Wars was finished on the big screen, a new trilogy is destined for theatres as the Walt Disney Co announced it was buying Lucasfilm for US$4.05 billion. The seventh movie, with a working title of “Episode 7,” is set for release in 2015. Episodes 8 and 9 will follow. The new trilogy will carry the story of Luke Skywalker, Han Solo and Princess Leia beyond “Return of the Jedi,” the third film released and the sixth in the saga. After that, Disney plans a new “Star Wars” movie every two or three years. Lucas will serve as creative consultant in the new movies.
