Disney to Acquire Lucasfilm Ltd.

[bloodgear]

How does one go about finding "told ya so" posts?

But seriously, I didn't see the Disney acquisition coming. Did anyone?

I for one, am excited to see Ep. 7. I hope Lucas is still involved in the creative process, but it'll be great to see another director, or at the very least, people to tell him when an idea sucks. And better writing.

I agree. His story is good but his dialogue is ****.

It's gonna be an interesting couple of years that's for sure.

Look at how Disney handled the Marvel movies. This can only mean good things for SW. At least that's what I am gonna tell myself.

So I'm guessing they'll just say screw it and cast new people in the roles. No way to make the original cast fit in the roles now

Do you want to take the negative POV or would you like me to? We can spend a couple hours posting back and forth if you'd like.

Ok. This has me feeling a bit more optimistic about this...

Thanks King.

It makes sense. Pixar and Marvel have done great under Disney. Why shouldn't SW? It can't get much worse

Get on board, Pix. We're winning.

Now they just need to announce they are canceling Avatar Land and starting construction of Tatooine.

ScarJo as Mara Jade!

Frankly, I'm very happy. It means there's a chance that the SW universe may return to its former cinematic (OT) glory. Something that, under George, was a pipe dream imo.

How long before Disney winds up in front of Congress for trying to monopolize the market? Since they're acquiring Lucasfilm, does that mean they'll be getting Indy from Paramount along with the 20th Century Fox SW stuff?

Disney > The World. Bring it on!

I'm gonna laugh my ass off when all the Lucas-hating tittybaby whiners are begging for him to come back when they realize that even the PT was better than the garbage Disney will put out in 2015.
