Quick Thought on Disney/Star Wars
You've probably already heard the big news of the week (besides the Hurricane): Disney is buying LucasFilm from George Lucas and has announced a new Star Wars movie for 2015. It's huge news if you're a Star Wars fan and raises all kinds of ideas if you're a Disney fan. Disney hasn't done too badly with Marvel, so I'm cautiously optimistic.
But my first reaction to the news was absolutely clear. I thought it was a practical joke.
We live in strange times.

Don't think they can do worse than episode 1
True.
I'm actually optimistic about this. If we're going to have more Star Wars, allowing other people to create in GL's universe should be a good thing. This deal really opens the Star Wars universe to more creative input from a wide variety of folk who grew up with it.
