    Disney is buying up everyone: Pixar, Marvel, and now Lucas.

    This could be good news, Lucas won't have his money grubbing fingers all over the production. Maybe a modern Star Wars movie without bull**** acting and Jar Jar Binks.

    Wow, can't believe George did it. I recalled him saying he would never produce an Episode 7. With this acquisition, technically he still won't however doesn't it make you wonder what will happen to the legacy of the Star Wars franchise if Disney starts to f it up?

    There is nothing Disney could do worse than what Lucas did to Ep 1 and 2. I'm not worried about them F ing it up.
