No doubt most people probably have heard this already.

So -- what do you reckon?

Yea... I saw the story last night. Maybe Disney can buy Star Trek so we have new stuff there too?

I agree at least Disney could put the experience at one or both of their parks. CBS isn't doing that great a job with Star Trek anyway.

Are you sure it isn't time for a colorful metaphor?

Remember, we're talking about the people that brought us the Avengers.

heheh... well, that's nothing if not succinct...

For my part I honestly think that Star Wars could use some new input, and Disney is well known for family adventure movies, so although my first impression was "WTF?" on reflection it might not end up being such a bad thing.

Although naturally that would of course depend on who winds up being responsible for it.

WTF ?

The BBC (or ITV) brought us The Avengers and not Disney Corp.

No I've not bothered watching the modern remake / movie of that name.

BBC created captain america?

that seems so unlikely

Different Avengers - you're confusing Steed & Peel with Stark & Romanoff.

I'm actually glad Disney bought out Lucas. I've had zero interest in anything Star Wars for years. I was all for little kids and I hate Legos. So I lose nothing by Disney buying Lucas films and if they make a decent film, which Lucas didn't want to do, maybe I'll get something out of it.

No response must mean you all agree.

To be honest I think this is a good thing. Disney has done a great job with the Marvel movies and I think they'll treat Star Wars with respect

Disney is great at Fantasy productions. I think they will do well with Star Wars.
