The Force Is Strong With This One: Disney Buys Lucasfilm For $4B : The Two-Way : NPR

I can't believe it.

 

[BigJ]

My buddy works at ILM. He is in shock..

disney people are definitely nerds. first marvel then this.

btw i was just as disneyland and it was bad-ass even though im a 28-yr old male.

I'm just glad Disney is keeping the old guard in command... scared of what might happen if they decide to start mucking with the formula. I really hope this acquisition is just a portfolio expander for Disney and not an IP exploitation move. Don't need Jafar turning into Emperor Palpatine.

I heard talk of a 7th movie.

 

[klyph]

Apple is partnered with Disney who owns Lucas film that licenses the Droid trademark to Motorola who is owned by Google.

 

[reikoshea]

Zomg it all makes sense!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So the 7th movie is going to just be Disney waving their animation dick at aliens so it looks like shit in the very near future. Think Episode 1, 2, and 3 meet Pirates of the Caribbean.

 

[reikoshea]

uh huh....because episode 1, 2 and the first 1:45 of episode 3 (and the last 5 minutes) we're totally awesome, right?

Especially episode 2 with yoda jumping around like a chicken with his head cut off fighting a CG Christopher Lee...That's real vision...Or a 6 armed robot with 6 light sabers fighting obi-wan.

Disney really cant do any worse.

 

[92stoccord]

That's what I'm saying. They need to just have people in alien suits playing fucked up clarinets again.

 

[BigJ]

I'm excited. It can't get worst than young annikin.

Look what they did with Marvel... Created some great action films and the best comic book films out there.

If they can do that with Star Wars I'm all for it. Lucas has been holding back Star Wars for a long time now.

This.


Lucas is kinda like a cassette tape - it was the coolest thing out there back when there wasn't anything else to compare it to...but now, meh.

 

[AHHVTEC]

I may be alone on this but since they bought marvel, the movies have went to shit, I mean maybe if you are real lucky you can see one tiny tiny drop of blood from being cut in half.

 

[klyph]

Yeah 99% of the comic book movies have sucked.
