Disney is going to buy Lucasfilm and release new Star Wars movies with the first hoped for in 2015. Rumors that it will star Mickey Mouse as a budding jedi knight and Donald Duck as his smuggler/best friend are unconfirmed
What most interests me is the possibility of Mickey and Spidey teaming up against Darth Vader in KH3. Just sayin'.
Anyhow, supposedly Lucas had this to say...
Quote:
"It's now time for me to pass Star Wars on to a new generation of filmmakers," Lucas said in a statement. "I've always believed that Star Wars could live beyond me, and I thought it was important to set up the transition during my lifetime."
...which makes me at the very least intrigued. It's about time that someone beyond Lucas had a strong crack at the movies.

Well, it would be very hard to have a Mickey Mouse and a Donald Duck who aren't animated.
Unless of course, they put the actors in the Disney Land costumes.
EDIT: Unless by "They", you mean the films themselves. In which case, it will either be fully animated, or a bit of both.
Mickey and Donald will be played by live actors in costumes. The stormtroopers, however, will be animated. Uncle Scrooge might be the villian--Darth Moneybags.
*Checks Watch* yup, looks like its that time of the decade again.
Speaking of checking time, I literally had to check my computer's calender to make sure it wasn't April 1st when I read this article. Because yes, me sleeping for several months seems far more likely than this actually happening.
Mickey Mouse is no Luke skywalker. Wrong character type. Though I'd say from his comic appearances he'd make a pretty good Han Solo. The Disney star wars stories I read used Goofy as a Jedi-analogue, though that was pretty different. More space magic than lightsaber fighting.
“Not a promise, not an oath, or a malediction or a curse,” I said, sounding calm, probably inaudible in the midst of the screaming. “Inevitable. Wasn’t that how she put it? I told them. Warned them.”
-Taylor Hebert. Yes, I'm a proud Skittle.
Based off of his great performance in the latest Indiana Jones movie, I vote Shia LaBeouf as the right person to step into Harrison Ford's shoes as Han Solo.
I'm going to have so much fun with cheesy Star Wars/Disney jokes over the next few years
...
Please let there be a KH3 SW world... Please please please....

they must be saving Donald as Luke, and mickey as Han. Goofy would be leia and the triplets (HDL) would be the offspring of Leia and Han. That sounds the best course of action.

NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! Not even as a joke! NO! NEVER! NO!
Honestly? It isn't unexpected. Disney and Lucasfilm have been close for years. This is just the closing of the deal and making it all official.
Please remember though, that LucasFilm and LucasArts are different. Just because Disney owns LucasFilm, does not mean they own the rights to the video games. So no, you won't get Star Wars World in Kingdom Hearts, because Disney doesn't own LucasArts.

Now I'm imagining Huey and Dewey having to team up to strike down their fallen brother, Darth Louie. You've ruined my childhood, I hope you're happy. Not really. :P

A good point.
Disney got the Indiana Jones franchise too, so we can look forward to something erasing the terrible taste of the Crystal Skull out of our mouths.
I would back this up 100% though might as well just take the entire cast of fire fly and do it in star wars... Summer Glau for a new age version of Luke? Lucy skywalker anyone, also the kiss between Luke and Leia would become slightly more interesting
