Star Wars (LFL) sold to Disney, by Fred Quimby Fan on Oct 31, 2012 2:27:57 GMT 1, Just curious if there were any opinions out there at this recent acquisition as I'd imagine there are a few Star Wars fans out there on the forum...?

Star Wars (LFL) sold to Disney, by mmmike on Oct 31, 2012 4:45:05 GMT 1, I'm thrilled. I hate disney but I love star wars. To me even a terrible new star wars movie is better than no new star wars movie. I think if you have low expectations it might not be that bad. It can't be worse than Jar Jar can it?

Yeah, who cares what the quality's like as long as they keep churning them out? 
They've already released a teaser trailer I see though the budget appears to have been cut a bit...

Personally, I'd prefer not to see a new movie unless it's done well.
I also worry that collectors of SW memorabilia (old props, etc) may have a harder time now Disney will be at the helm... lots of lawyers if you know what mean.

I see it looking like Wall E but with Miley Cirus and Justin Beiber.

Totally agree about JOhn Carter though.
Although technically speaking, and this is me nerding here, Star Wars is not science fiction, it's fantasy.

Could be good, could be really bad. I guess if Disney are investing that much cash then hopefully they'll get a good team working in the scripts.

$4Bn price tag = merchandised to buggery (even by Star Wars standards)= Jar Jar Binks

Star Wars (LFL) sold to Disney, by Fred Quimby Fan on Oct 31, 2012 8:51:34 GMT 1, I hate to say it but at $4.4bn, I think they've gotten a good deal. Merchandising, outsourcing characters as marketing tools, revenue from films & the long tail from peripheral deals - they should be well on their way to breaking even within 10 years.
I just wonder where this leaves the current employees and the Skywalker Ranch..?

...couldn't disagree more. The series has disappointed to the point it's tarnishing my view of the original series... knocking-out more and more movies won't help

The scripts and plots will be an after thought in these films.
Characters will be added purely for the merchandising for children.
Maybe even a fart joke or two.
Iโm calling this one out early. Bull5hit.

That was Episode I... and Lucas had 20 years to think about it.

I don't think anyone thinks a new film will be as good as the old ones. The question is would you rather have a new bad star wars movie or none at all? I'd take a bad one over nothing. Maybe it won't be so bad.

Star Wars (LFL) sold to Disney, by twist65 on Oct 31, 2012 16:03:49 GMT 1, have to agree with mmmike here, at the time going to the pictures to see Episode 1 I hated it, thought it was a travesty etc. but now I kind of like it, even though its not "proper" star wars, they're more like an expensive spin-off series.
Plus my nippers should both be old enough to get into the new ones, so even if they suck I've got projecting my past star wars fandom onto them to look forward to!!
