I can't help but think that this might be a good thing. Look what they have done with Marvel
Disney buying Lucasfilm (new Star Wars movies on tap)
- Thread starter ghostryder
- Start date
Even Disney won't mess with the 501st Legion. If they shut down the 501st, it will be a PR nightmare for them, especially given all the good works the 501st does for sick children.

Oh man. Hopefully, they'll leave it alone. Knowing Disney, though, they will make an edict that says anyone making, buying, or selling Star Wars related merchandise of any kind has to pay a licensing fee or face a lawsuit. Either that, or just outright forbid it, like they did with anything involving Disney merchandise...
exactly.....if you make star wars props , your days are numbered......
Maybe a Pixar/Star Wars movie could actually be well done. Maybe some CG Indiana Jones adventures COULD be done (as I have sid before...Indy and Wu Han adventures).
I think some new direction will be a good thing...but sadlly Lucas will be creative consultant for Episode 7.
"Lucasfilm founder George Lucas will act as a creative consultant for the next film."
"Disney will take ownership of Lucasfilm and acquire the entire portfolio of Lucasfilm technologies, as well as its franchises like Indiana Jones."

This was my first hope. I've always said our only chance of getting that is for George to leave.

I think with him complaining how he's been wanting to go back to art/independent films and the back-lash of OT: SE and prequels, I think him selling it is the only way he doesn't get pulled back into the Star Wars universe.
He's made his money, and then some and "It's now time for [him] to pass 'Star Wars' on to a new generation of filmmakers."
Gotta say though. I was good with the whole "no more Star Wars movies" thing.

Other than recognition and popularity, how would this be different then when we make Buzz Lightyear, Tron, Rocketeer and other Disney-related costumes and props?
the difference is , there will be no open runs for starwars stuff , it will go underground.......disney has rabid lawyers.....
Well step 1 of Lucas not directing is already positive!
I'm open to seeing what they do. Look what Disney did with Avengers.
C'Mon... you guys got to have at least a tiny shred of hope that they'll bring some people on board to produce a faithful Star Wars film to screen once more.
My only concern is an Episode 7 with everyone so old now, unless it's going to be more a passing torch thing.

On the bright side... At least it wasn't Disney that bought out Don Post Studios as well :lol
