After buying countless, differing versions of the original trilogy over the years, surviving the prequels, and seeing what a mess the entire franchise has become, Star Wars has long since been dead to me. After Indy 4, Lucas deserves to have his arms torn off by the proverbial Wookie.

I'm just glad he didn't have any hand in the Back to the Future movies.

Hope Mark Hamill has been spending his time in carbonite so he's nice and fresh for episode 7!

Disney owns Marvel AND Lucasfilm.


fuck....

I still have my memories so what's the worst that can happen?

well, lots of ewoks will certainly be a boon to the midget workforce

fuck....

Not just Marvel and Lucasfilm! They also own Pixar. And ESPN. And not to mention Hyperion (they're known for something called "books"). And oh almost forgot - something called ABC! And a big chunk of Hulu.


And let's not leave out - both the Muppets AND the Might Morphin' Power Rangers! Sheesh... why not sell them DC, Star Trek and Harry Potter and just be done with it already.

Disney = Big Brother =o/

I love the parts of Star Wars I love, and that's it.

I'm too old to waste time breathing deeply the exhaled smoke of someone else's dreams, no matter how elegant or profitable.

They own the Muppets and they just paid $4 billion? I guess Big Bird still needs taxpayer dollars, though, right?

He won't be involved with the next movie right?

Right??

So there's a silver lining for ya. A very faint one.

Really Marvel has done well since Disney took over, I'd imagine that Disney will be better for star wars than lucas will.

The only thing that'd be good for Star Wars now is a bullet. Let it die already!

Disney bought Pixar but the deal made Steve Jobs the majority stakeholder in Disney so you might say that Pixar runs the show since then.

Dear Disney,

If you fuck this up, I will hunt you down and do inappropriate things to you all while wearing mouse ears. This is my entire childhood you are dealing with here.

Thank you for your time.

For those complaining, did you dislike the recent Avengers movie? If not, give this a chance before claiming it all goes downhill from here

Ah, the expensive divorce that we've been waiting for.

American media companies: Recycling all the good stuff from the 50s-80s. You're welcome.

I have a larger monitor than the CEO of Disney? WTF

I think I'm doing OK about this.

I say good on George for makeing sure the franchise went to good hands - someone that will propagate the Star Wars brand and create lots of new stuff. That's what I've been waiting for and so have many others. I just don't think Disney would buy Lucasfims so they can run it into the ground. They are going to get as much mileage out of it as they can and it will still be around for our children's children.

I've made plans to go to DisneyWorld in three years so I'll be expecting a crapload of Star Wars related rides and STUFF

Meh was done with Star Wars a long time ago.

While they are reviving things can we have Dark Forces 4 or Jedi Knights 3 (whatever), Republic Commando 2 or failing that how about a new X-Wing game? Tie Fighter HD would do nicely. Get on it Disney.
