I don't eeeeeeeeven give a fuck about everyone freaking out about this. The SECOND they announce that Episode VII is going to be Heir to the Empire, everyone's going to be marking out at the prospect of Grand Admiral Motherfucking THRAWN on the big screen.

(Also, Miramax is responsible for so many Tarantino and Kevin Smith flicks, and fucked up shit like Trainspotting. You know who owned them for the time a lot of those movies came out? DISNEY. Fucking RELAX.)

THRAWN~!

I haven't seen much backlash.

Most people so far seem to see this is a good thing.

 

[Evan H.]

Yeah, literally everyone I know is super psyched that Lucas' doughy mits are off of the franchise.

Where are you seeing this freak out from?

Disney owns Pixar for Chris sake and Pixar's the fucking greatest.

 

[The God-Beast]

My Facebook feed would have you think the goddamn sky was falling. And I'm in full agreement that this is a good thing.

Bonus if it leads to a Thrawn trilogy.

 

[Jonathan Todd]

I'm pretty hyped about another star wars. They have to do better than the last three.

 

[Justin]

Pip fartin' on a snare drum would be better than the last three...

Pip:
I ain't fartin' on no snare drum.

Oh, please for the love of god give it to John Lasseter.

LET LASSETER MAKE THE NEXT FEW STAR WARS MOVIES

Expect lots of Mickey in Star Wars gear. Lame, if you ask me.

Greed makes you ugly. Disney makes enough money, don't they? Had to find a property 'boys would like.' And they've done it.

uh

disney owns a shitton of properties boys would like, like marvel comics, pixar, and a shitton of other stuff.

How is this lame? What, is Disney seriously gonna pay billions of dollars to make shitty direct-to-DVD sequels? Or is it more likely that they're going to use some of the extremely skilled directors and producers who work for them to make something not as garbage as the prequel trilogy?

Um, someone's never been to Disney World. There is already an insane amount of Disney characters as Star Wars characters merchandise available. Hell, I have action figures of Stitch as Yoda, the Emperor and General Grievous.

Ermmm... these are the same people who are doing a remake of Boy Meets World.

We haven't even started scratching the surface on this stuff yet.

1. Star Wars Theme Park - imagine something like Harry Potter has in Orlando. That would be sick and would immediately make Disney my top vacation destination - it's on the list currently.
2. Star Wars Theme Hotel - imagine if you could stay in an Endor Moon base replica? Better yet Death Star replica? Wouldn't that be sick? Two pillows on the bed - one is Rebel, one is Empire, who you gonna chose?
3. Star Wars Pixar Bullshit - um, yeah this just is gonna be awesome.
4. Star Wars Video Games - um, yeah awesome too.

Awesomness all around. Is it wrong to start thinking of various Disney Princesses wearing the Leia Slave Girl Outfit?

...which ones are we talking about?

 

[illadelphia]

Belle?
The Tangled bitch?
Jasmine, of course!

Just saw Wreck-it Ralph. If they can make a Star Wars movie so crammed with detail and references, like they did with the prequel flicks, but make it GOOD, like Ralph was, then maybe this franchise will stop sucking.
