--- Quote ---To the surprise of no one, Kevin Feige is a huge Star Wars fan. It might surprise many, however, that the Marvel Studios chief is going to be developing a Star Wars movie as Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy makes new plans for a wave of projects set in the universe, The Hollywood Reporter has learned.

Feige had discussed a foray into the Star Wars universe in a late summer meeting with Kennedy and studio co-chairmen Alan Horn and Alan Bergman, sources say. In response to a query from THR, Walt Disney Studios co-chairman and chief creative officer Horn said, "We are excited about the projects Kathy and the Lucasfilm team are working on, not only in terms of Star Wars but also Indiana Jones and reaching into other parts of the company including Children of Blood and Bone with Emma Watts and Fox. With the close of the Skywalker Saga, Kathy is pursuing a new era in Star Wars storytelling, and knowing what a die-hard fan Kevin is, it made sense for these two extraordinary producers to work on a Star Wars film together."

With Ep IX closing off the original series... and Feige getting in on the ground floor to set up Lucasfilm with the blueprint for cross-pollination movie planning.... does any one see this leading to a potential dimensional rift crossover in the future!? 
and I know you know what I'm about to post here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JYNDssdsVnM  LOL

Stratos:
Disney knows they screwed up with how they divided the fan base with Last Jedi, and a lot of those complaints that split it were due to Lucasfilm not having an overarching plan for Star Wars like they did for Marvel. Hoping this is resetting everything on a stronger foundation.

ShyGuy:
Maybe I was wrong about Feige being on the way out... He's made a power move and is kicking out Kathleen Kennedy!

From an outside observer, I don't see this as a Disney thing.

It seems like Disney bought Lucasfilm and Marvel, then cut them both big, blank checks and said "Make our investment worth it."

Marvel knew what they want to do from the beginning (although they may have not been 100% aure on how they were going to get there) and with Disney's unlimited fundage, they could now do it.

Lucasfilm... it seems like they haven't really known what to do with Star Wars since Episode Five.  Six has a lot of issues and even before Disney bought the franchise, we had licensed stuff of varying quality (LEGO good, Angry Birds bad).  With Disney's unlimited funds, all I can think is Lyle Lanley and "[Lucasfilm] with money like the mule with a spinning wheel.  No one knows how he got it, and danged if he knows how to use it."

ThePerm:
He might not do this. This news could have been a big F you to Sony to demonstrate just how much stuff Feige can handle.

remember this?
