We knew the marriage of Disney and LucasFilm would lead to exciting projects, most tied to George Lucas’ universe. J.J. Abrams is hard at work on Episode VII, and the rumors of spin-off movies abound. But we never thought that Star Wars would or could combine with Disney’s other partners… until now. 

 

Pixar, according to reports, has been given a Star Wars movie. At least, that’s what fanboy site Latino-Review is reporting (and the site has been trustworthy in the past). Details on the potential project are scarce, though the site mentions the ongoing project happening behind the scenes to line up all the Star Wars canon into a workable narrative.  

 

“Once the canon-purge is over and Episode VII is in production, there will be a whole universe of Star Wars-related content to play in,” LR notes. “We’ve heard about TV shows, new comics tie-ins (Marvel, of course), spin-off movies for particular characters and now, a Pixar film.”

  

Not that this is Star Wars’ first brush with animation. Not by a mile. In fact, Cartoon Network’s The Clone Wars deserves a ton of credit for keeping Star Wars relevant with a younger generation that wouldn’t know a Wookie from an Ewok.

 

 

But turning the Star Wars brand, with its endless original characters, to the Pixar wizards opens the door to so many possibilities. 

 

And if Pixar gets a Star Wars project, can it get a Marvel project next?
