Disney to Acquire Lucasfilm http://thewaltdisneycompany.com/disney-news/press-releases/2012/10/disney-acquire-lucasfilm-ltd Huh!?!
Re: Star Wars franchise & Disney acquisition Ah yes the inevitable tie in cartoon series. The cartoon will most likely premiere after the 2015 movie It's another "Avengers" franchise for Disney good grief.
This actually made me smile! This is basically how I feel. Besides, Disney and Lucasfilm have already had a long relationship together before now, especially evident if you've ever been to Disney's Hollywood Studios in Disney World. Besides, if he has to hand over the torch to someone, I think Disney is the right choice. Makes me wonder if they're going to do anything about the revisions to the OT, though. Hmmmm...
The SW tv show. Probably more ideas for IJ movies. Guess the process for the SW movies will be like how he makes the TCW show with a protege doing all the work and Lucas doling out advice. Either way, I guess now is a good time to be a SW fan. We'll finally get to see the final trilogy.
erm, i know this is a Star Wars thread but just to freak out another fanbase, does this sale not also mean that Disney has its grubby little mitts on Indiana Jones as well?!!
Re: Disney to Acquire Lucasfilm Looked for it and didn't see a post talking about it. The title of the other thread doesn't hint at a Disney connection. And seeing as the announcement was only made at 4:30 EDT this afternoon, so I hardly see how this post qualifies as "late" to anything.
Yes since they own Lucasfilms. In some good news, they also own Howard the Duck. Yeah Howard is finally back with Marvel. Could there be a Defenders movie in the planning.
Re: Disney to Acquire Lucasfilm At least this site is still up. The traffic related to the announcement crashed TFN.
All the negativity aside. Pixar is still OK (Yes I liked Brave, shut up). Marvel is still awesome. Tron 2 and John Carter were good films even with their problems. Episode 7 with Andrew Stanton or Josh Whedon as director !! Even a geek can wish upon a star.
Oh, crap. I hope this doesn't mean stupid Disney logos on Star Wars action figures and collectibles. [Vader] NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! [/Vader]
The same way Trek fan reacted when Trek was raped I mean re imagined. Half will apologize for it and the other half will curse it while still watching it.
