I like this pairing. This will be huge for Disney think of the movies and theme park ideas from this. With there purchase of marvel and Lucas they acquired two crown jewels

^^^ lots of things in flux.

Waiting to hear that Hasbro, and thus Sideshow, and thus HT will lose the license.

I'd save a s-load of money if that happened.

Hot Toys still make Marvel figures, plus they made Tron and Pirates, your money is not safe.

WTF!!??!?!?!

Should I be happy or sad?!

I could see Mark Hamill as the mentor training a new Jedi Knight, putting him in the Qui-Gon/Old Obi-Wan position from the first installment of the previous trilogies. Kill Old Luke in Episode VII and bring back his ghost for VIII and IX. It would be fitting--and Jedi Luke dying could be powerful if handled correctly.

The Death of Luke...

What will you do with your avatar, Tom?

Lucas selling his empire is pretty big news. Not Hurricane Sandy level but big for entertainment news.

I never would have bet on this.

I wonder when there will be an Indiana Jones anouncement.

Hey, maybe they'll finally re-release Twice Upon a Time.

Disney will send Frank Castle to Star Wars Cons and give pissey fans a proper beat down.
"May the blunt force be with you."

Nerd news.

Says the IM nerd.

It may not be "devastating" news like Sandy, but it will be discussed long after Sandy is a distant memory.

Yes.



At the same time even.

 

[DinoLast]

So much for bringing balance to the force.

So has Lucas redeemed himself for "ruining" the movies by giving up control

 

[Kamandi]

It can finally happen....

I am very very surprised by this news. Really would never have thought it.

OMG, someone else remembers that movie... or cartoon as it were.

If episode 7 ends up being rubbish, I don't think the franchise gets much worse, it's not like the prequel trilogy are shining pearls. But, if it's a homerun, then the franchise benefits big, so I can't really see a downside to this.

I think Lucas wants to sit back and enjoy hearing people ***** about someone else screwing up Star Wars.

Either way hes pocketing 2 bil cash and getting 2 bil in Disney stocks which puts him in with the the top of the Disney shareholders. Time to retire, relax and let Disney start putting out some nice Star Wars **** that people have been demanding for years.

I Cant wait to go on the MILLENIUM FALCON KESSEL RUN ROLLERCOASTER ...

I heard at CVI that Clone Wars only has one more season after the current one anyway so hopefully it wont have a chance to go over there. I would think the show too dark for that channel and we'd get rotten episodes like that one where those kids got sick off of that contaminated space juice or something a couple seasons ago. YUCK!

Have you seen the new Tron: Uprising show? That show is surprisingly dark and serious when compared to the other programs on that network. Hell, even Clone Wars seems more kid-friendly!

It's already there, just called Space Mountain right now.
