The ramifications of Disney buying Lucasfilm are huge, starting first and foremost with the announcement of a new trilogy of films, beginning with Star Wars: Episode VII in 2015. But Star Wars of course exists in many mediums at this point, and has had a big home on TV of late with Star Wars: The Clone Wars.
Today, during the conference call held in the wake of the announcement, Walt Disney Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Bob Iger briefly touched upon Star Wars’ future in television. Disney of course acquired Marvel a few years back and has since put several Marvel animated series on Disney XD. Said Iger, “We intend to do more and create a strong Marvel block,” before adding, “We really like Star Wars‘ potential on TV as well and we think Disney XD will be a strong home for that.”
