Default Disney purchases Lucasfilm, Star Wars: Episode VII in 2015

DISNEY TO ACQUIRE LUCASFILM LTD. | The Walt Disney Company

Let the "Disney/Lucas is gonna rape my childhood" complaints commence.

I wonder if the acquisition includes THX.

This angers me to no end. And how DARE they announce Episode 7 with a 2 year turn around. Words cannot describe how totally bad this will be to the Star Wars franchise.

I'm not going with the "Disney/Lucasfilm is going to rape my childhood" sentence.

What I'm going with is the ol' "Disney needs to stop monopolizing every company that isn't under their title name" sentence.

Quote:
Continuing its strategy of delivering exceptional creative content to audiences around the world
You know how to deliver exceptional creative content to audiences?
Focus on your own damn movies, not the power you have over every other company in the world. You need improving on the mediocre movies you make currently (yes I am looking at you Cars 2 and Mars Needs Moms), not on your status in the industry.

And a new set of Star Wars films? Really?
Isn't the series famous enough? Do we really need more films, made by Disney, to make a bigger status for the franchise (and Disney itself)?
This is going to do no favors for the Star Wars franchise.

Why is this a bad thing? Last SW movies were so bad I literally tossed my popcorn at screen and left cinema. And that was EPISODE 1. I never went to cinema to see the second one. To sum this up: no one can rape SW any more. SW is like super abused, regulary ass raped illiterate kid. Even if it gets into abusive drinking but not ass raping family it's still a win situation for him.
