That's right!
The difference between the lacklustre response to last year's 'Disney to build Avatar' and the internet totally exploding today says all.

Fox still has the distribution rights for the 6 movies, they do not have the rights to any subsequent movies.

There's not a super large red "CONFIDENTAL" stamp on it so I'm sort of suspicious....

It's had it's hay day.... People are entusiastic about the old movies.... Not the prequels, not even the newer ones (which will be John carter with a Star Wars logo).... It's a hell of a lot of money to spend on revenue from toys and merchandise.
What will the buy next? The matrix... Woohoo go Disney!

You said it yourself: "People are entusiastic about the old movies".
Which means they are still relevant and did stand the test of time. That's all it matters.

yes because THE MATRIX and STAR WARS are very similar. Indeed.
Care to guess what franchise is in the top five for boys in just about every category from books to toys to apparel? Disney has always looked for the way to boys interests, here you go. Along with a gigantic fanbase that puts the potter books and movies to shame...
Yep bad move.

I disagree....
People are enthusiastic about back to the future or like I said.... The matrix.... Is it worth making new movies and spending billions on? No....
Sometimes things are best left and 4 billion should be spent CREATING the next Star Wars not just throwing money to ride on coat tails.... That's not why I love this company....
Besides when the new movies come out to a Luke warm reception that'll mean Star Wars will have 3 over rated but loved movies and 6 crappy ones.... Which means the Star Wars franchise.... As a whole... Will be crappy.

Actually it's the same size as Marvel, and 3 billion less than Pixar.

I feel like we were literally talking about Disney buying Lucasfilm like yesterday.

For those of you who doubt the authenticity of the plans I posted,
here is a stolen photo of a meeting that took place just hours
ago, deep within the halls of Walt Disney Imagineering.

It shouldn't be that shocking. I mean, it's a natural progression and Lucas said he was retiring this year. We knew he wouldn't just let the Star Wars franchise die away. If he didn't sell the franchise it could have. With this sell, he is guaranteeing not only that the series will keep going, but new life will be breathed into it. To me it's not shocking at all. Marvel, however, came out of nowhere to me. Still shocked and it still doesn't make any sense to me.
And I wonder what this means for Indiana Jones? Disney is sure to want to cash in on every corner of this deal.
