Disney Buys 21st Century Fox for 52 Billion
Seriously though gandalf, you're going to loose your sh*t because of one film? 'Star Wars' is "ruined forever?" Really?
Let's not forget who owned Star Wars more than a couple of years ago.
The gobble-necked elderly cook who screwed around with the Original Trilogy several times, and made the beloved unedited versions pretty much inaccessible because his ego and his "vision" was 'more important than the fans.' And mostly importantly, HE was the sole perpetrator of those "****ty ****ing prequels that no one gives a **** about."

Hopefully things get so bad that they bring someone in who actually gives a **** about SW and give them free reign to do whatever they want.

They only Bought Lucasfilm for 4 Billion. Was fox really worth all that money. Fox's only great films has been around X-Men Characters and a little movie called Avatar. And thats not the best track record since Fox was in debt
Thing is, Fox owns a lot more than just their own namesake. There's a lot of smaller studios, TV stations and such that Fox owned... which Disney now owns.
Buying out Fox basically means that if it's not owned by Warner, Universal or Sony, then it's now under Disney's control.

Just might be the lesser of 2 evils.

The only reason I say that is cuz revenge of the Sith is decent, but the rest are just a smidge bit of nostalgia and visuals, but overall, they suck

I had asked my gf recently if Disney is a cult, and I was rather unsurprised at the response.

My guess is that Disney has now positioned itself to become a major media services provider, like Netflix.

I’m both excited and leery about this. On one hand I’m a huge marvel fan so i want to see all the characters with each other and on the other, this is gearing up to be a monopoly
