Well this Star Wars thing couldn't have worked better for DIS. Dismiss Lucas, bring in Abrams and redeem the franchise. lhayes37 Dec 19, 14:56

Bob Iger couldn't have worked out better... tatoufan Dec 19, 15:29

They bought the whole thing from Lucas for 4.05 billion. Star Wars 7 is going to make at least 2.0 billion box office. {nm} lhayes37 Dec 19, 15:56

He also got Disney stock as part of the deal. {nm} RamsFan2004 Dec 19, 16:00

What about Leia and the wookie? {nm} second gary Dec 19, 16:23

They took the princess and the Wookie to his ship. {nm} RamsFan2004 Dec 19, 16:44

This deal's getting worse all the time. {nm} onenil Dec 19, 17:09

Pray I don't alter it further. {nm} Bubba_Fett Dec 19, 18:06

More likely to see a Storm Trooper over Donald Duck at Disneyland for how long? I say eternity. Your guesses? {nm} lhayes37 Dec 19, 18:17

it could have worked out better if they hadn't hired JJ slipping jimmy Dec 19, 18:44

It couldn't have worked much better than this, period. JJ pulled it off. {nm} CG63 Dec 19, 18:45

+1. For the first time in 32 years, I saw a Star Wars movie that felt like a Star Wars movie. {nm} Bubba_Fett Dec 19, 18:49

pulled off what? (spoilers) slipping jimmy Dec 19, 19:05

He pulled off a 95% positive rating on Rotten Tomatoes, overwhelmingly positive audience reactions and the #1 opening weekend of all time. {nm} CG63 Dec 19, 21:00

metacritic's 81 is (imho) a more accurate score slipping jimmy Dec 19, 21:30

and that's still a solidly positive score {nm} CG63 Dec 19, 23:01

like i say, it succeeds despite him slipping jimmy Dec 19, 23:07

Credit to Kathleen Kennedy for hiring the right guy. {nm} RamsFan2004 Dec 19, 19:58

(after all the better directors turned her down) {nm} slipping jimmy Dec 19, 20:37

Josh Trank was fired. {nm} RamsFan2004 Dec 19, 20:50

Wasn't Trank fired from Episode VIII? I could be wrong on that--but he definitely got fired. {nm} CG63 Dec 19, 20:59

I was making a joke but he was actually kicked off the Boba Fett solo movie. {nm} RamsFan2004 Dec 19, 21:11
