Disney buys Lucasfilms for 4.05 billion

Plus, we can finally see who would win in a fight: Simba vs. Wicket.

Heh Lucas is a brilliant man.

its only a matter of time before this happens…

Porn aficionados have more of a right to complain about the Debbie Doess Dallas remake than Star Wars fans have about this…
:rofl:

As long as this means that someone can now tell Lucas that his ideas are dumb shit, then I’m fine.

Day-um. So,I wonder what this means for the live action Star Wars show that’s been in development hell for like 6 years now. Lucas always said that funding it was the reason it’s been held back for so long. I’m sure that won’t be a problem now.

I enjoyed the hell out of episodes 2 and 3. Expectations for Episode VII (finally) are so low, it can’t miss. I’ll miss young Obi, though. EM makes me man-swoon.

when the fuck was the last time Senor Spielbergo directed something good?

ps - Episode V sucked, there I said it

also this is now relevant:

edit: this too:

Fuck u, no spoiler tags, get real internet

ps - there are always two…the master, and the Sorcerer’s Apprentice

lol @ Senor Spielbergo reference.

Now that the mouse owns lucas-everything, does that mean that they own the name Droid too?!

Sounds like somebody watched more than the first, and last 20 minutes of Empire.

Episode IV established the mythology. Episode VI had a rancor, a sarlaac, Jabba, the first real lightsabre battle in the OT, and was a damn good conclusion to a trilogy (until Lucas edited it)

And Ewoks weren’t so bad.

Episode V was Vader handing Luke his ass, and the colour white for two fucking hours

hmph, Disney failed to takeover the world long ago. :coffee:

you’re assuming the Mouse gave up

This is worse than nipples on batman.

Lucas doesn’t give a fuck about Star Wars anymore…so I’m sure he’ll be fine with the bulk of that 4.05Billion dollars over having death threats mailed to him everyday from irate fanboys/girls.

Disney… Becoming one of the most powerful corporations since 1937.
Anyway, I wonder how this will effect KH3 if that ever gets released. They have a shitload more material to work w/ now with Marvel and LucasFilms and with next-gen consoles around the corner… I expect the motherfuckin’ world…

Seriously…Disney just bought a fucking goldmine.

I think that the problem with Star Wars lies in wanting to keep pushing the main storyline. At this point they could’ve been pomping out numerous movies based on the expanded universe to a huge fan base without necessarily having to deal with the life of Darth Vader or Luke.

If we had a trilogy on the war between the Jedi and Sith, the bounty hunters, and anything other than the main storyline Star Wars would be one of the holy grails of movies series.

the storyline is already established, and Mark, Harrison, and Carrie are only getting older…
