Disney to Acquire Lucasfilm

I'm actually not that surprised by this news. George Lucas has talked about retiring for a while and Disney and Lucasfilm have a partnership going back decades. Both Star War and Indiana Jones feel so much part of Disneyland that in one respect it feels like they have finally come home.

As for the news of a sevenh movie I say don't be naive people. I've heard rumours about Episode 7, 8 and 9 for years now. I mean get real, Star Wars is a globally recognised brand that will never go away. And how to you keep a brand fresh, by suppling it with new content. Besides I think Star Wars actually needs some new content, how many times can the go over the first six movies. It was inevitable.

My half of an art trade with :iconsatalite5:

She wanted her oc amelia hanging out with the cast of Edds World in a Total Drama Island style.

My apologises to :iconeddsworld:
