    Re: Disney To Acquire Lucasfilm

    Seems like a lot of fan servicing going on with this new flick as Carrie Fisher is said to be in it and Mark Hammil has said he's in talks as well.

        The more I hear about what Disney does the more it becomes clear that they just want to milk the IP for as much cash as they can.

          IMO Disney does a pretty good job with movies and IP overall, so I wouldn't expect them to ruin the IP by milking it for cash and making crap movies.

          It's not really a shocker that they bought Lucasfilm in order to make money, that's what businesses do.

          They also wanted the rights forever so they could have Star Wars stuff at the Disney Parks forever without worrying about removing that branding later.

            I know its a business, but committing to a Star Wars movie every year? That just screams milk job to me.

            Plus, all the announced theatrical sequels to Pixar films rub the wrong way.

                People usually really want the sequels though...They wait a long time before doing them usually (compared to other studios at least)...

                  If they just kept doing sequel after sequel of a movie then maybe but these trilogies have such different but connecting story lines. There is so much stuff that Disney can do with the Star Wars universe that 1 movie a year is fine.

                    Just because the universe is so rich doesn't mean they should mine it every year and make us sick of it.

                      It's not like Lucas wasn't doing that already.

                      If I went any bigger, it would not have properly fit with my equipment, so I had to optimize. I'm okay with it, but I also know what I'm missing with those five inches. :)

                        He dicked around with the home-video releases and had plans on converting the originals to 3D for a theatrical release, but that's it.

                        I don't want Star Wars to turn into The Avengers.

                            I'm fine with lots of movies if they're good movies. If they suck then I'll get tired of it fast...

                              It's no different than what they're doing with the Marvel universe, and I think that's worked out pretty good so far for them.

                                Except that the Marvel Universe is made up of all these different characters to begin with.

                                Star Wars started with Han, Luke, Leia & Darth Vader. I don't mind seeing the expanded universe, I just don't want it to be turned into Call of Duty.
