Disney buying Star Wars is the best thing to happen to the franchise (fite meh)

My reasons... [u]breathing new life in the franchise and sending forth an avalanche of new movies[/u] I love star wars but if things stayed the same way without Disney Like it or not we would not have the amount of films coming our way rather than the 3 films in new trilogy and speaking of that. [u]new direction and fans taking over[/u] If George Lucas was to make the new trilogy if Disney didn't buy Lucas film, it would be a bit shit. Don't forget, this is not 'I made the original trilogy' George Lucas no... I'm talking about 'I made the prequels and jar jar binks is my favourite character' George Lucas. And also... Producers like JJ Abrams grew up with star wars, all of those kids who grew up with the force before the 2000s are all grown up. And some are able to direct a film or write a book or game about their beloved franchise. And with the result of the force awakens stuff won't get sloppy. [u]why wiping out the EU was a good idea[/u] I know the expansiveness of the legends universe was large but don't forget, (ever since splinter of the minds eye in 1978) it had over 36 years to develop! The new canon had only 2 years with the help of the clone wars. And look at all the books, comics, games and anthology films. And how bad it was going to be if your trying to make the new trilogy even though by that time period, in the EU its the yuzhang vong war. Or with rouge one being an adaptation of the story of how they got the plans from a tattoo on a bald guy and if force awakens was an adaptation of legacy of the force. And why they nuked all of it? I think it's too make films based in the (new) old republic era without being tied down with KOTOR or SWTOR lore. And see it as a new way of telling a new story of star wars, don't forget the EU happened in a different time line. The expended universe is so large that the smallest continuity error would shatter the entire universe. [u]it's logical from a business standpoint[/u] Star wars is one of the biggest franchise in all of fiction and if you put into Disney's mindset when they purchased it they had the intention of milking the cash cow, its how businesses like these works. You find something lucrative and of its worth giving a try, you use it to its maximum potential. [u]are you a Disney fanboi?[/u] No... But I am a bit daunted by the fact that Disney is a bloody entertainment juggernaut. Edit: the ½B8 is real

  • Only bad thing I have about Disney is the fact that they cancelled the Clone Wars and Rebels is too kiddy. [spoiler]forget about Rey being a Mary Sue what about that blue haired 12 year old fighting grown ass men with a lightsaber[/spoiler]
