Sadly this is only too True. We seem to live more and more in a corporate world, where large corporations own everything, trying to squeeze us for profit everywhere.

How can anyone watch the prequels made by lucas and not think that this is a wonderful thing?
Lucas single handedly did more harm to the star wars franchise with those movies and im glad someone, anyone, else has a chance to right that ship.boo-tai jung-tzahng-duh

True, Lucas jumped the shark with the first three, but fans are fans and Star Wars ones are rabid. Originally Posted by Pape_27

Really think the next 3 will be any better then Ep. 1,2, 3? They will be pasteurized, homogenized, Disnified, and made all cute and cuddly for the Disney Market.
I want to PUKE at the vision of Tinkerbell doing her thing over the Disney Castle in opening credits. Makes me want to walk out now...

Too true, the last thing we need it to have our Fantasy and Sci-Fi becoming more and more sanitized. Imagine how different the Harry Potter movies would have had Disney had the rights then WB. Originally Posted by Hendrik

Don't give up all hope young padawan, remember that Disney made the Pirates of the Carribean franchise and those where pretty successful. Not much cutness in those except for the undead monkey. Originally Posted by Hendrik

Not to mention Lucas will not even be writing or directing these new abominations!

The books get dark as hell after return of the Jedi and Im not sure they could change it to even the regular SW made-for-12-year-olds-movies like the first 6 were, Disney or no Disney. Originally Posted by Hendrik
