Along with that (obviously) comes Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Industrial Light & Magic, Skywalker Sound, and any other company that Uncle George has made along the way. This is big news in more than one way.
First, Princess Leia is now a Disney Princess. Yes. It's happening.
Second, Disney has announced that Star Wars: Episode VII will hit theaters in 2015, with two more movies to follow. Yes, yes, I know that it sounds like a thousand years away, but still. It's coming.
Third, Disney is not going to ruin Star Wars. A lot of people have been fussing that Disney will ruin Star Wars, and that their childhood will be ruined. Well, I think that we hit rock bottom with Episode II, and so the only place to go is up! Did you know that Disney also owns Marvel? Oh, and did you know that Marvel just made an awesome movie called THE AVENGERS (which, I might add, is sitting comfortably as the third highest grossing movie of all time)?!? Also, I don't recall seeing Micky Mouse in that flick, or, for that matter, having ANY Disney overtones. Get over it people! This is not going to ruin your childhood!
Personally, I am excited for new eyes and fresh ideas for the new Star Wars films. I also hope that one day they get around to making the live-action Star Wars series they've been talking about for years now. I really, REALLY hope that happens.
