Where the hell do they go from the end of the Return of the Jedi???

And now they'll own the Indiana Jones franchise too. Harrison Ford must be getting on for 70 now so watch out for "Indiana Jones and the Zimmer frame of peril."

Unreal.

Well, at least Disney will release the original goodness on BluRay.
The Big Mouse leaves no dollar uncollected.

Other than that. I don't see much good coming from this...

Nope.

...yeah - "there's substantial pent-up demand"?!?  

I'm a huge original Star Wars fan - spent half of my girlhood pretending to be Han Solo (no judgements from the peanut gallery, please.  Han was way cooler than Leia.)

But the implications of that quoted statement make me *cringe*.

Joss Whedon's all over this quicker than Garfield eats lasagne...

The internet's nerd-imploding. It's fun to watch.

I think Chris Nolan could bring life into Star Wars. There will always be a market for it.

As someone else, on another board said, Disney hasn't changed Marvel and ABC Studios is still pretty much the same.

I'm really curious to see what happens in Northern Cali. Lucas wanted to make a studio in Marin but the neighbors said no. I'm wondering if they'll feel differently about Disney running it.

I'm also excited for any internships that may come out of Disney owning property up here.

See nothing but win here.

New bunch of kids will love it; shareholders will love it; those who work on it will love it; those who complain will go and watch it, therefore popcorn counters will love it; but best of all? Film puritans will hate it. Boom.

Lot more going on in the world requiring concern, rather than the chorus of inevitable righteous indignation that meets this announcement.

What I suspect we're in for here other than (finally) the full Star Wars series that was promised to us thirty years ago (for better or worse). Leia is now an official Disney Princess so we'll probably see her pop up in Season 3 of Once Upon a Time. Brace yourself for the Jar Jar Binks cartoon franchise, as he has always seemed like a cute talking animal from a Disney movie. And yeah, more toys. So many, many more toys. The mouse does leave no dollar uncollected, so if there is something that can be milked out of the franchise (and Star Wars is a huge and profitable universe), then Disney will do it. The 4 billion they paid? They'll make that back in no time at all.

Love the Darth Mouse pic.

EDIT: The true untold horror: The Donald and Howard the Duck crossover.

Agreed on that. Especially, if it's anything like the Pixar franchises.
"Cars" toys pull in about two billion a YEAR in sales.

It seems everything three years the Big Mouse absorbs a major player...

2006 - Pixar.
2009 - Marvel.

And now this.
