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

Doesnt surprise me that the two biggest copyrighters of everyone elses ages old ideas should be corporate bedfellows. Kind of odd how cultural traditions and wives tales of the 1400s-1800s can become the property of someone who had no hand in creating them, but became the largest distributor of those ideas in the 1900s. Now all they have to do is have Lars Ulrich produce all theme music for all motion pictures and the deal will be complete.

I got off the Star Wars boat when the teddy bears showed up in the third part of the FIRST trilogy. I had just turned 18, and i was looking for something a little more serious. Disney had nothing to do with that.

Don't forget Star Wars gaves us Ewoks. So the orginal creators did have their Disnified moments. Originally Posted by Hendrik

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

Think about it, guys.
George Lucas gave us:
Jar Jar
Baby Darth
The Force is a disease
The queen, who we're supposed to care about, is too selfish to love her children and dies because her man is gone.
Ewoks
The Star Wars Christmas Special
Disney couldn't possibly do any worse, so this is a step up.
Disney also owns Marvel. Iron Man, Thor, Avengers were all Disney films. They also owned Miramax. Scream, Clerks, and Pulp Fiction were all Disney films. So don't think for a second that what you just said is actually true. Originally Posted by Hendrik

Actually the Ewoks arose from the heavy Muppet influences in the first trilogy, not Disney. Originally Posted by Thalmor

Mine comited suicide after Phantom Menace, which in my head never happened by the way, nope Star Wars is 3 films ripped-off from old samurai movies and with a splash of King Arthur with kick-ass special effects in a space setting. Originally Posted by Hendrik
