I'd better go get some good earmuffs and a hardhat to protect myself from the mass of rage that is about to spew forth from Mount Jedinerd.
Wish me luck.

Re: Disney's Pimp-Hand is getting strong
Personally, it statistically has to be better then what Lucas was doing with the franchise. Disney does put out good movies and here's hoping that they re-release Episodes IV-VI unedited.

I agree. I don't see anything wrong happening to Star Wars, I mean over the few years that have passed while Disney owned Marvel, they didn't did anything ludicrous like adding Mickey Mouse on Wolverine..except for that one idiot of Rob Liefield (Yeah, he's fusing Winnie the Pooh and Deadpool for some comic or whatever)

Wait, WHAT!?! Someone's combining Pooh (a children's character) and Deadpool (not a PG char) together?

Re: Disney's Pimp-Hand is getting strong
Whelp, as if Lucas didn't ruin Star Wars enough. Now Disney has a crack at it.

Disney pretty much owned it for a while.. I mean, star wars stuff.. Star wars stuff EVERYWHERE (in the parks)
I could've saw this coming from a mile away. We were discussing it at work. I mean my park is mainly George Lucas Films & Toy Story... Not really known for much else...

I knew they did the Star Wars stuff at the parks and also did Star Wars/Disney crossover stuff as well. But I figured they we're just shelling out to Lucas like everyone else. They gonna go for Indian Jones next?

I think I heard it's just a gag but Poop wearing Deadpool's suit but still.....WHY?!
Either way, they are both stupid.

Re: Disney's Pimp-Hand is getting strong
Well, I'm not for or against. I just hope they won't combine mickey or whatever in Star Wars or something. Now that'd be rage. :x

Re: Disney's Pimp-Hand is getting strong
Star Wars in Kingdom Hearts 3
Yoda & Sora: Rule 34
I'm calling it now, because I don't think I want to be anywhere near it when it happens.

Re: Disney's Pimp-Hand is getting strong
After Jar Jar Binks, I could care less about what Disney do to Star Wars...
-
Re: Disney's Pimp-Hand is getting strong
Sora with a lightsaber? That'd be badass.

Re: Disney's Pimp-Hand is getting strong
I wonder if this may mean The Clone Wars show will be taken off CN and moved to Disney channel.

Re: Disney's Pimp-Hand is getting strong
I can have Thrawn trilogy?

Also, to be honest Disney is the only company i would want handling Starwars after the crap that Lucas pulled with the prequel trilogy. I mean seriously guys John Carter was done very nicely, as well as TRON Legacy and the Avengers. I think Starwars is finally in the right hands now that George Lucas has lost his mind.

Re: Disney's Pimp-Hand is getting strong
With the movie they already announced, it sounds like they are going to cover Skywalker and company rebuilding the Jedi order. Maybe they can do some Old Republic movies while they are at it. The MMO that was released a few years ago looked interesting.
I'm hopeful that they can do a lot of good stuff, but I've also got my doubts. Disney is in it solely for money, and will milk it for all it's worth -- SW and Marvel both. They had just better do it correctly if they want to keep getting my money.

Re: Disney's Pimp-Hand is getting strong
So will this mean that Princess Leia will be a Disney Princess??

Re: Disney's Pimp-Hand is getting strong
I always hoped they would make a series of sequel eps 7 to 9 (Star Wars was originally planned to be 9 eps long from something I read somewhere once) . But I hoped these eps used to complete the series would be Lucasarts doing it. In fact I never imagined any other company doing it. With Disney at the helm now though, I fear what will happen to the final 3 eps. I fear they will be too "kidified".

Oh please, you can't "kidify" something that was once touting Jar Jar Binks. Besides, I doubt Disney will do much to it style wise other than give it decent dialogue. If I have to listen to another "No, no it's because I'm so in love with you" verbal vomit, I'll saw my head off with the cord to my earbuds.

Re: Disney's Pimp-Hand is getting strong
I hope everyone notices that disney doesn't kidify anything that isn't really aimed for kids. Trust me, I eat, breathe, sleep, and live off of disney. I work at Hollywood Studios which does have all the starwars crap. Disney knows, when they are handling things with a big fanbase behind it (I.E. Wreck it Ralph, Avengers) they HAVE to get the absolute right people for the job and do it the right way. Disney isn't going to risk upsetting the fanbase that they didn't even have to work for and was already there.
