  Not sure how I feel about this. At the risk of being called a fanboy (which is probably true) I loved all the current Star Wars Movies, including the prequels. There have been rumors before that George Lucas himself had 9 episodes planned, and should Disney actually use them (if they DO exist, I've never looked too much into the rumors) then I think they could end up just fine. And yes, Disney is capable of making awesome movies, like Pirates of the Caribbean, and...others that don't immediately jump to mind but I know exist. Honestly, after the Clone Wars rubbish, I don't think the series could go downhill. And if it does, I'll just have to get reading on the books which are usually very nicely done.

  
  
  honestly, the best part of the news is that George Lucas isn't involved in the Star Wars production

  I almost thought it said 48 dollars instead of 4 billion dollars.

  
  
  George Lucas was paid in $4billion in cash and Disney stocks
  the cat would kill for Disney stocks

  Disney is really rich and their copyright lawyers are ridiculous
  even mickey mouse ears without their consent will get you sued for millions.
  
  also the Star Wars series can't get any worse

  I love this review. I listen to it for fun. 8D
  
  That being said...I wonder if they'll UN-"special" edition everything. That would be nice...

  I'd prefer SMA stocks or something along the line. Then again if I was majority owner at Disney I could put an end to the nonsense they've been producing as of lately.
  
  
  Hm...

  This is the closest thing I've seen to that so far.
