The killing of one evil Sith in order to save your own son is not a "correction" of slaying so many innocent people IMO. Now I guess the argument could be made that by killing Palpatine, he potentially SAVED millions of lives but that's still hypothetical and really wasn't his motive.

I think if Lucas wanted to show true redemption in Vader, he should've shown an actual internal struggle of good and evil going on inside of him the whole time. We should've seen a truly tormented Vader throughout the entire saga. That would've made him a much more sypmathetic character and the whole redemption story arc more believable. (Look at Gollum's struggle in LOTR). However I think he had already done so many heinous acts, with no sign of remorse, that he was too far gone to be shown as someone who would be redeemable.

No, they are only the distributor, not the content creator, and 2012 expires in about five weeks.

Their distribution rights end in 2020 (except for IV), but I don't think they can keep Disney from re-releasing them if they want to.

They would only have to pay Fox a distribution fee.

Now, if only others would commit forum seppuku.

By the way, when you're done with your sword can I have it? But only if it comes with the slipcase... I mean sheath.

Ah well, still, I think this whole Disney situation is just a wait-and-see kinda thing.

Interesting news. Kind of what I suspected, with McCallum's exit there probably won't be a live-action show....and with Roffman back in the fold, come on Heir to the Empire!

Good riddance!

Is it just me or has Disney managed to create more positivity around Lucasfilm in the last month than what had been created in the last 2 decades?

The past two decades? No, that's taking revisionism a little too far...five years too far at least.

That said, there are definitely some exciting winds blowing these days.

I have to admit I think this is good news, as he was one of the driving forces (beside the main one, obviously Lucas himself) behind the Special Editions, as well as the PT and the weird choices made for it.

"Leaving"? Or receiving a nice "GTFO... Your Services Are No Longer Needed" severance package?

I trust Kathleen Kennedy to assemble a great team of people. She has always had an eye for talent and utilizing them very well. I think it is her doings, getting rid of all the yes men... not Disney.
