I would be worried, if Lucas hadn't already given up on star wars and driven the franchise in to the ground. It was the correct decision to let others handle it from now on and disney is as good of an owner as any of the alternatives. At least now the franchise is going to have some kind of a future and the fans have something concrete to look forward to. |

I realized this means Disney has the rights to Indiana Jones........and Howard the Duck.
AND the horrific possibility of "Willow 2".

Well, I understand why they did it... they are in dire need of new franchises to exploit.
...but thinking about a SW reboot... or Indy... this can go so horribly horribly wrong. "Ginger forum goddess, space gypsy and stone nibbler extraordinaire!"

Fantastic! Roll out the straight to DVD starwars sequels, pre-prequels, side stories, and alternate realities crudely drawn in taiwan by 12 year olds and voiced by no-names. Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings? |

George Lucas already ruined the Star Wars franchise for me, he did it in 2 stages, the remaster of "a new hope" is nowhere near as good as the theatrical release that I saw in the cinema when I was 7 (OMG MIND BLOWN) and then he did the prequel to the sequel thing, Darth Vader was much better as an enigmatic evil bastard, we didn't need his back story.

Having your eyeballs gouged out with frozen spoons while simultaneously being tortured by a Justin Bieber and Nicki Minaj duet with music composed by Rick Astley is better than Jar Jar, the future of that character should include hanging, drawing and quartering.

Yes, cause Disney is in the habit of ruining brands..
I think this will be only a positive for the Star Wars Universe.
Lucas already crapped the bed with the prequels so why the unwarranted rage? |

Seems like Lucas has been bored with Star Wars for over a decade, so a cash-out isn't all that surprising.

This gives Disney permission to actually hire real film directors for the new films. Witness the hiring of Sam Mendes (American Beauty) for the new Bond "Skyfall" a first for that franchise of a 'name director'.
The new movies will be different. They are not being made for those of us who had our MINDS BLOWN between the ages of 5 and 15 in 1977 (I was 12). They are for the newer and upcoming generations, but should hopefully be enjoyable for us (I actually really really liked most of "Revenge of the Sith").
My fingers are crossed, and I'll await judgement until I at least hear the plot of the first new outing. |
