- antr 14y agoI'm no media/film expert, but this sounds like a great acquisition for Disney. The current library/brands and Disney's distribution can squeeze any cash left from past movies/brands. Going forward this can be a true money-printing machine. Lets just hope they acknowledge the internet is the retail distribution channel of today. Also, funny how life works. Pixar, a spin-off of Lucasfilm back in the 90's "acquires" Lucasfilm. Am I right in saying that Disney's movie division is headed/managed by the Pixar guys?
- stcredzero 14y agoWhat about a Pixar animated Star Wars movie?
- antr 14y agoi get goosebumps just thinking of it

- eungyu 14y agoStar Story; Yuck
- stcredzero 14y agoActually, a Galaxy Quest style tribute/parody of Star Wars featuring Buzz Lightyear might be worthwhile.
- mixonic 14y agoUpvoted for comic genius. I appreciate you stcredzero.
- cadr 14y ago> Am I right in saying that Disney's movie division is headed/managed by the Pixar guys? Sort of. John Lasseter is head of creative at both Pixar and Disney Animation. I think Disney may have other movie divisions.
- kstop 14y agoNo, Alan Horn's in charge of Disney Studios, which includes Pixar, Disney's regular animation division, and live-action movies. Check out the image on their corporate site, it looks like Lucas is worried about his cat being held hostage to force him to sign: http://thewaltdisneycompany.com/ http://thewaltdisneycompany.com/

- noonespecial 14y agoI feel a great disturbance in the force, as if... Sigh. I can't even make the joke. I fear the Jarjification of all I held dear as a child. Sad panda.
- padobson 14y agoYou need to get excited. The creative folk at Pixar and Disney have been killing it in comparison to what's come out of Lucasfilm lately. Watch The Pixar Story (streaming on Netflix: http://movies.netflix.com/WiMovie/The_Pixar_Story/70083532?locale=en-US http://movies.netflix.com/WiMovie/The_Pixar_Story/70083532?l...), and tell me you're not more comfortable with Star Wars in their hands then in Lucas'.
- noonespecial 14y agoOk. Point made. But if this ends with JJ Abrams doing a "reboot" of ANH where Han is a genuinely nice guy and Greedo was just 'misunderstood', I shall be very put out.
- vehementi 14y agoWhy would a reboot go in that direction? The star trek reboot didn't pussify things.
- FrankBooth 14y agoA reboot is more likely to be gritty given the fashion of the times. Expect to see Han Solo made into a heroin addicted jazz critic who's not a smuggler.
- Apocryphon 14y agoI wonder if pop culture will ever reboot the concept of reboots to make future reboots all pleasant and optimistic. This already happened with comic books- after the grittiness of deconstruction in the '80s with Watchmen, The Dark Knight Returns, etc., there was a trend of reconstruction comics that hearkened a return to the heroic Golden Age.
- ryen 14y agoThis is the most interesting part of the whole press release. I wonder if it will follow the book "Star Wars: The Truce at Bakura", which takes place immediately after Episode 6. http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/The_Truce_at_Bakura http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/The_Truce_at_Bakura
