Disney has purchased The Force
They favour the dark side, of course
A Mickey shaped star
May look quite bizarre
But is it a revenue source?

They didn't exchange the real economy for $4Q+ in derivatives. But we are meant to think they did. These hypothecations are side by side. Jihadi Bankers always print single file to hide their numbers.
Look here...
These trend-lines... Only NWO Algobots are so precise.
For me, the classic Star Wars theme was in the bar. Unfortunately, I rather doubt Disney will take the potential of that scene to its glorious potential.
As a segue to hookers and blow? Probably not.
Futurama is so far ahead of this stuff. Is Leila a homage to Princess Leia?
Bite my splintery, wooden azz!
At least the next movie will be full of good wholesome social engineering.
Disney did good things for Marvel with all these super hero movies. Lets hope they can get Lucas out of the way long enough to make a great Star Wars movie too. There is hope.
firt they buy Marvel Entertainment, now they buy LucasFilms. The Empire wins again.
FUCK YOU BERNANKE!
Giving Disney cheap dollars so they can run a muck on my Childhood ....
I for one, was not overly enthused with the prequels, but I can appreciate the attempts made to break new ground, it's just that Lucas didn't go far enough. I kinda think he did sell out on the prequels, but the overall story, minus the flaws, is still pretty good. Anyone who has read the books knows that there is a wealth of information out there to base a three part sequel on, depending on how far you want to go into the future (Spoiler Alert, Chewie dies in the books).
The biggest problem is who will play Han, Leia or Luke in the sequels, not to mention the cast of supporting characters outside of the droids (who IS under those masks,.... Lloyd! Noooooooooooo). Anyway, there is a great deal of potential there as well as a number of spin offs including a very good X-wing Squadron series of books (Yup Yup Commander) featuring the only Rebel to survive TWO assaults on Deathstars in an X-wing. There is also the children of the jedi storyline and much more.
Now if Warner Bros would just get off it's hinny and put some movement behind Elfquest, we might actually have something to watch besides reruns of 60's TV shows.
Actually, I can see Lloyd under a mask...as Dark Helmet!
“I’ve got a very bad feeling about this.”
Oh...
“I find your lack of faith disturbing.”
An animatronic Jar Jar Binks can't be far off.
Kid, I've flown from one side of this galaxy to the other. I've seen a lot of strange stuff, but I've never seen anything to make me believe there's one all-powerful mouse controlling everything. There's no mousestical energy field that controls my destiny.
Does this mean Luke Skywalker will have to wear a Purity Ring?
Luke is ghey. Where've you been, Reseda?
Probably too late! "Where has that light saber been?" -- the World wonders.
Visit any toy store and bear witness to the 2-3 isles full of star wars crap and you will find your answer on if it's profitible still or not.
news flash, GM just bought the Model T from Ford, in hopes they can reissue the brand to collectors. (and with channel stuffing and government buying of excess inventory it may be that the civil servants will all be driving tin lizzies.) "okay sir I am an HSA, slash Immigration, slash IRS agent, you've got explosives in your rectum, your green card is expired, and you owe us thousands in back taxes. NOW pull over to the curve, ahoooogahh...."
as the line between entertainment and government (like the line between government and business) is crossed. [Someday a President of the US will bail out Disney, when they go bankrupt, and the leadership of the country deems their prescence essential to national security].
Who cares about a Model T? T-buckets are so out of favor, although the car did have an underpowered 4-cylinder engine.Obama would approve, even if he didn't build it himself.
Not to be outdone, Ford is back producing the 1940 Ford Coupe. Well, producing the bodies, at least. Wheel, engine, etc. not included. http://www.thetorquereport.com/2012/10/ford_releases_1940_ford_coupe_.html
Hmm, looks like History is repeating itself, 'cause thinking up NEW ideas is so hard...
Depends on the T bucket of course. This one is not exactly underpowerered.

His daily driver is a Volt, though. So is mine, and I love it. I'd bet Ford sells a few of those bodies, the resto/show game is still hot.
Your shallow, reconstituted, revenue generating, intergenerational, intergalactic, overhyped, fairytales, have failed me for the last time.
Do not forget Donald Darth.
That is GREAT!
Just think of all the jobs that death star brings.
Yeah ... especially when Luke blew the bastard thing up. Broken Windows, bitchez!
The broken planet fallacy, coming to a Keynesian near you.
Is the officer crew of the death star called the death panel?
I think it should be quite a sight,
To see old Darth Vader bled white,
No stone’s left unturned,
When a buck’s to be earned,
But could the flick flop? It just might.
Long live The Limerick King!
I really don't why the presstitude keeps glorifying Lucas as a visionary film maker. Maybe he was when he made the first Star War; it was radical at that time. But Lucas cracked up as a film maker with the three prequel; it was all about the bottom line, marketing toys, merchandise, in another word it was all about the great "DOLLAR." No different than the wall street crowd. Lucus in his current form is a cracked up film maker, to pitied upon. I almost vomitted when I saw the prequel. No wonder that he is giving up on this franchise; he has become a laughing stock among serious artists of all genres.
What's next for George?
Hint: can you picture Harrison Ford on a Mobility-Scooter?
I agree with you. The first one was great when it came out. Everything else one big disappointment...except Space Balls.
I think Disney did this so they can sell light stick Jedi Swords in the parks.
they didn't do this for money, they did it for a shitload of money!
I was in an elevator about 20 years ago humming to the strangely familiar background music. Suddenly I realized that it was a full orchestra rendition of Alice Cooper's "School's Out".
It has been all downhill since then. :)
That is So. Fucking. Wrong.
What's next - The Tubes "What Do You Want From Life?"
Pray for plague.
More like, sell Jedi light sabres in their brand new Star Wars Theme park. That's where the real money is.
Ludicrous speed!
They've gone plaid!

Disney is the biggest porno producer outside of the citizens collective of Simi Valley, so maybe.....
So I wonder if they are going to trash Space Mountain with X wing fighters and Death Stars, like when they trashed Pirates of the Carribean with chessy Johnny Depp references?
Remember to "act surprised" when Disney writes down its 4 billion FeRN investment in Lucasfilms for impairment.
May the farce be with you (investors).
Mickey Vader.
[sound of respirator]
HI!
[sound of respirator]
[in high-pitched eerily menacing voice] There will be no Lucas to stop us this time.
[sound of respirator]
Now that is a Classic!
DaddyO
working for Darth Vader was bad enough, but I'm not following the orders of a fucking mouse.
TPTB are rats and you take their money. QED
Trust the Farce WB7, not the mouse.
Great rhymin' LK!
