I doubt modern Disney would have the balls to put something like this in their Star Wars, though.
What's in it that takes balls to put in a Disney product?
Probably too early to tell if Disney will let Star Wars go as dark as it needs to be. They might not even put the Disney logo on the new films.
Does the Disney logo appear on any of the recent Marvel films?
Where were you in '77?

The first one I ever encountered was Marka Ragnos in DFIV:JKIII:JOII:JA.
What the hell is that?
It's Dark Forces IV: Jedi Knight III: Jedi Outcast II: Jedi Academy.
The actual title of the game is Star Wars: Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy. :D
Usually we call it JKA for short.

Scary skeletal ghost with blank eyes.
Eh, maybe I'm underestimating Disney's ability to depict creepy looking characters in their current movies. *shrug*
That version reminds me a bit of The Horned King in Disney's The Black Cauldron. One of the most scary villains in a Disney movie, and exhibit A in why I want John Hurt in the sequels. ;)

Nope.
The new Thor movie was the first completely Paramount-less Marvel Studios production, and there's only Marvel's title at the front of the picture. I feel like Disney will leave their logo off any future Star Wars films as well, perhaps just opening with the Lucasfilm logo.
It still stings that we probably won't hear the 20th Century Fox fanfare at the beginning of the movie, although I'd love to be pleasantly surprised.
I bet they'll get Williams to write a new intro fanfare to put under the studio logos.
I hope they don't have a roll call of company logos, Disney..Bad Robot...Lucasfilm etc.
Just kick in with
and put all that stuff in the end credits.
re: timdiggerm
Funny, I hadn't even thought of that, and yet it's probably exactly what they'll do. Just like how you hear Michael Giacchino's score over the red-tinted Disney logo at the beginning of John Carter. The music-less, electronic version in Tron: Legacy also comes to mind.
Do you think they'll put the Bad Robot logo at the front of Episode VII as well?
If they were to go the "fresh start" approach, you have to wonder how they'd take into account future viewers who will have watched the first six movies. When this one is called "Episode 7," it's a little jarring to have an entirely different intro from the films that preceded it.
It will be the end of an era and the beginning of an error if they do.
I could live with just the Lucasfilm logo at the front. That's always been part of the experience.
There seem to be a lot of variants on the current Walt Disney Pictures logo tied into the movies they appear in front of, so I suspect they'll make it Star Warsy somehow. Maybe the Bad Robot will be made into a droid?

Scratch what I said earlier, this is the more likely scenario.
Even if they put music up front, nobody will be able to hear it, as the audience will be going nuts anyway. :)

There is that certain something about the way the existing six movies start. You hear the percussion of the Fox fanfare several seconds before you see anything at all. It's a signal to the audience that "the movie is about to start." It's deliciously old-fashioned.
Part of me still hopes it happens....

Unfortunately, yes. I wouldn't mind, if it weren't such a bad logo.

Me too. Star Wars was one of the first, if not the first, movies that I watched with the Fox Fanfare, and I have associated it with Star Wars ever since (when I was younger, I was surprised to see it in another movie, because I had thought it was only at the beginning of Star Wars). So it would be nice to see it. Maybe someone will stick it in there in a fanedit. :)

If it were done as a background droid, that would be a fun sort of cameo nod.

I dunno how you're able to live continuously in 1996, but I envy you.
There was loud applause during the Fox and LF logos opening nights of the SEs and Ep1. Mild cheering for Ep. 2 and nothing when I saw Ep.3.
For Ep.7, people will be too busy tweeing "OH-M-GEE! The Movee is startin! Gonna b tha best eva!! YOLO! LMFAO!!" to even know what the opening logos look like.

This, a thousand times this. I don't even go to the movie theather anymore (actually you could count the times I've been on a couple of hands - let's include toes, tops) but from what I'm told people do anything but watch the screen now. People have always slept, and we all know what goes on in the last row, where all you can hear is slug sounds, but apparently now the whole place is lit up with the glow of smartphones and resounds with loud chatter and babble.
So just put on a slideshow accompanied by a radio play. It'll cost less and not many people will notice.

Maybe they could have a scene set on a planet with tall grasses in which a droid is running around, only to stop in front of a group of children who point at it and yell "bad robot!"
Sith ghosts are purple if TMBTM is to be believed.
I don't think they are allowed to omit the studio title cards at the start. I think the best and most plausible case scenario is Disney logo, Bad Robot, Lucasfilm all backed by Binary Sunset, then "A long time ago..."

Hey! Let's keep a little optimism here.
Not at Alamo Drafthouse. ;)

I don't think "robot" has ever been uttered on screen in a SW film?

Maybe not an official SW film ;-)
