As most have read, Lucasfilms has sold themselves to Disney for a tune of 4 Billion plus dollars.
Disney buys Lucasfilms
Now some people are very upset about this. The same people that really upset about this is the same people that haven't had a date in a few years if ever if that tells you anything. I feel as if this is a good thing. Two of the major superpowers of movies coming together. It can only make the movie experience better. Take the example of Disney buying out Marvel Comics. Everyone was all upset about the purchase of Marvel, but when The Avengers came out, you could see where Disney with its endless bank roll came in. With great money comes great CGI effects, to almost quote a Marvel superhero.
What has made this matter worse is the fact that Disney has already announced that they will be making a new Star Wars movie. It is not been released if they will remake any of the other movies or if they are continuing the saga with the last 3 chapters. With all this being said, to me, I am super pleased. Due partly to the fact that nerdy kids are now running to hide under their beds or closets just to cry themselves to sleep about what evil things Disney is about to do with their childhood. I think in the grand scheme of things. With Disney's power, I think of theme parks. (that I would actually like to go to as an adult. Still praying for the horror theme part that opens at dark and closes at dawn. One can dream.)
So moving forward we shall have to see what Disney/Lucasfilms has to offer us in the future. I hope a lot. With Disney now owning the three superpowers Marvel, Henson Productions, and now Lucasfilms, Disney is about to be unstoppable.
Keep being awesome out there,
Jonathan.
