    Yup.
    Its something else. Went for 4 billion. People are already talking about how Disney has the monopoly on things now. They already own so much as it is.

    I've never seen a Star Wars film and don't plan on it at any point, sorry Disney.

    Look, on the plus side we might finally get a decent release of OT, and we can continue denying the existence of any other Star Wars films.

    Lucas says "Its time to pass star wars onto a new generation of film makers"

    Which really means.

    $4 Billion Dollars and **** star wars.

    Well, I'm just going to see where Disney are going to go with it before announcing the apocalypse of cinema and all that.

    The last trilogy of films were awful boring dross (with the exception of the 3rd one being watchable) and everybody would be bitching at Lucas if he came out with another Star Wars movie.

    The next film is set on Mickey Mouse's homeworld. A planet of mickeys. Some are bigger than others

    Why do grown ups give a sh*t about this? I don't get it. Is there really that much truth in the nerd fascinated with Star Wars cliche?

    I can sense the force is weak within you.

    How is less control for George Lucas (Jar Jar, those Vodafone adverts) a bad thing, especially when Disney have already done a brilliant job since taking over Marvel (Avengers movie)?

    I think it's good news. Disney get a lot of stick but they also know how to buy an existing studio and let them get on with their own thing. Pixar being the obvious example there.

    The best thing is that it wrestles control from Lucas who has gone a bit mental in recent times.
