Really? You seem to have totally missed the analogy I gave about the failed media baron just before. I was working for that particular network during that entire saga and was in the room at the time when Kerry Packer gave us his famous qoute. That experience and research enough for you?
All these characters from the current trilogy the kids love so much now are gone as of the next movie yes? Good luck putting the house on Rian Johnson creating entirely new ones that will have the same appeal.
If you had put serious money in when they acquired LF you would have more then twice as much now.

Disney is too big to fail.
Once they get ESPN over the top they will be good to go.

Too smart. History has proven that.

I think, its the Disney Star Wars, that possibly could be in trouble, not Disney themselves.

Exactly, if thats starts to fail they will drop it like a hot potatoe.
$4B in ticket sales, how is it in trouble?

Unless your experience involves actual chips in the game since 1997, I doubt it.

That was a great image.
Yeah, I mulled over many images before deciding on that one, it said what I wanted and still had a humorous touch. Glad you can appreciate it.:thumbsup

I think, Disney will survive,
But its scary to think this new generation, is not like the old, and will not follow..... THEY WILL NOT FOLLOW STAR WARS!!!! .....yes I said it....
This middle generation follows Deadpool,,,Avengers...Gardians OTG..etc.... the younger generation (3-9) follows Frozen.. Ice Age..Beauty and the Beast.. Trolls (yuck)... song and dance cartoons..
For SW to be those...it would have to completely change itself.. at that point, its not SW

They are building their largest park expansion ever to support Star Wars. They have plans for a live action tv show. They have major licensing plans, books, comics, other media. If the films don't land for everyone, anyone of of those will. It's genius and it's just started. Watch and see how huge this becomes.

It may not be SW for us, but it will be for them.

That`s a hell of a lot of investment based on one property that can fall out of favour with the public just on the basis of back to back failed movies, which is always a possibility, if I could see the future, I wouldnt need DisFox shares.
Maybe I should change that to FoxDis....:lol Get It FoxDis up...:lol

Play-do was pretty big too
Anyone has to admit.. The SW franchise, that Disney acquired, has too much diversity... Adults who argue the validity of this new ST, will change the next generations minds.
I had a discussion with my oldest...he liked the movie...I then started pointing out different scenes, that I found was a problem.. he agreed... I told him, what I pointed out was half the movie.. He agreed that maybe it wasnt a good "Star Wars" movie,,
So I took that.. it didnt planted a seed, it didnt plant the, "I'm going to buy SW stuff and be sure to watch the next one".. like I did as a child, he just took it as another movie.
I cant see the SW saga surviving that.

I could spend the whole day citing examples of failed ventures with the cant lose attitude, but its time to give others a chance.
I think the fact that the SW EU was as successful as it was, is proof that a handful of characters isn't the 'be all, end all' of SW. KOTOR is a perfect example. Some folks just like that universe, & anything that's made in there will find an audience.
