Yay! "Star Wars-The Musical-episode IV" or "Star Wars-The Revenge of The Nuns-Episode XIV" or "Star Wars-The Dalmatians Come Home-Episode VVI"
I think they have bought a gravy-less train.

Let us not forget that it's about entertainment and escapism. Part of the deal with such things is one man's treasure is another man's junk.

everyone was talking about this at work today, not sure im really interested that much, but disney is HUGE, so they might make a good team...
please check out my blog I have a linux tips section
What?! Blasphemy! Hopefully, you're only referring to the movies, which I'll admit that Peter Jackson did a good job of skewering. I can't wait to see how he stretches one smaller book (The Hobbit) into three movies. If he manages to still leave stuff out, I'll be pretty upset.
No way. Like people have been saying, Disney has been buying up a lot of other studios and IPs, and they have been doing a great job about with them, especially Marvel. The funny thing about this is that my nephew, who is a big Spiderman fan, was just telling me about how the latest Spiderman reboot is much better than the earlier ones, and he loved the earlier ones. And now he is mad that Disney will be putting out Star Wars movies because they're going to make them all kiddy and musical. He doesn't even realize that he is contradicting himself because Disney is the one that put out the Spiderman reboot that he thinks is so great.
Edit: I'm wrong about that. It was Sony Pictures Entertainment that put out the new Spiderman. But the point is still valid that Disney has recently done a great job not screwing up IPs that they have bought. Just look at how they didn't screw up Iron Man 2, Thor, The Avengers, and Captain America.

I like the three first made movies, 4-6. The three latest was garbage, 1-3.
Disney has made some great movies, like pirates of the caribbean.

I've been seeing this argument going around a lot today, whether this is a good thing or a bad thing. And here's my two cents: It can only be a good thing. People have been saying that Lucas sold out his franchise, and he did, but not with this. He sold out 15 years ago when he re-released the original trilogy with the updated effects, and everything afterwards, be it the prequels or this merger, have just been extensions of that. George Lucas has shown with the prequels (though I found them fun, they were severely flawed) that a fresh take on the franchise is needed. Disney provides that, and it could only be a good thing. Saying Disney would only make them childish and dumbed down? Again, the prequels already did that. And for proof that it doesn't have to be so anyway, look at the Pirates of the Caribbean movies, which are extremely dark and gritty (Jack Sparrow not withstanding), or the more recent example, the Avengers, AKA the HIGHEST GROSSING SUPERHERO FILM OF ALL TIME. Most of the arguments don't hold any water as far as I'm concerned. Disney has done very well with acquired properties, and I see absolutely no reason not to expect the same here. It's just a bunch of people getting butthurt because "change = bad, me no like change" which is basically what it all boils down to.
If you can look at it all objectively, the prequels were not any more childish than the originals. It's just that we watched the originals when we were kids, and they seemed grown up. Then we watched the prequels as adults, and they seemed more childish. So now we have those prejudices. The prequels really aren't any more childish and less gritty than the originals. Just rewatch episode 3 and try to tell me that. Episode 3 was the darkest movie of all 6.
