Well this Star Wars thing couldn't have worked better for DIS. Dismiss Lucas, bring in Abrams and redeem the franchise. Dec 19, 14:56
Bob Iger couldn't have worked out better... {nm} 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} Dec 19, 15:56
He also got Disney stock as part of the deal. {nm} Dec 19, 16:00
What about Leia and the wookie? Dec 19, 16:23
They took the princess and the Wookie to his ship. {nm} Dec 19, 16:44
This deal's getting worse all the time. {nm} Dec 19, 17:09
Pray I don't alter it further. {nm} 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} Dec 19, 18:17
it could have worked out better if they hadn't hired JJ Dec 19, 18:44
It couldn't have worked much better than this, period. JJ pulled it off. {nm} 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} Dec 19, 18:49
pulled off what? (spoilers) Dec 19, 19:05
metacritic's 81 is (imho) a more accurate score Dec 19, 21:30
and that's still a solidly positive score {nm} Dec 19, 23:01
like i say, it succeeds despite him Dec 19, 23:07
Credit to Kathleen Kennedy for hiring the right guy. {nm} Dec 19, 19:58
(after all the better directors turned her down) {nm} Dec 19, 20:37
Josh Trank was fired. {nm} Dec 19, 20:50
Wasn't Trank fired from Episode VIII? I could be wrong on that--but he definitely got fired. {nm} Dec 19, 20:59
I was making a joke but he was actually kicked off the Boba Fett solo movie. {nm} Dec 19, 21:11
