dylanreich Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 I do believe that Disney will eventually open a third park in Anaheim, and it will probably center around Marvel and LucasFilm. However, I really don't care about how it's going to happen, I'll care when it's actually open. Until then, I'll just enjoy what's already available in Anaheim, which is a whole lot.

gisco Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Star Wars 7 can be a huge hit as long as Lucas doesn't write or direct it! Disney gets ILM too, that will make them some money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbalvey Posted October 30, 2012 Author Share Posted October 30, 2012 (edited) ^ Assuming that since ILM is a "Lucasfilm Company" that's part of the deal? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Industrial_Light_%26_Magic EDIT: Sorry, for some reason I wrote that "if" Disney gets...

Chroniq Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 ^ILM is part of the deal.." Under the deal, Disney will acquire ownership of Lucasfilm, a leader in entertainment, innovation and technology, including its massively popular and "evergreen" Star Wars franchise and its operating businesses in live action film production, consumer products, animation, visual effects, and audio post production. Disney will also acquire the substantial portfolio of cutting-edge entertainment technologies that have kept audiences enthralled for many years. Lucasfilm, headquartered in San Francisco, operates under the names Lucasfilm Ltd., LucasArts, Industrial Light & Magic, and Skywalker Sound, and the present intent is for Lucasfilm employees to remain in their current locations" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jedimaster1227 Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 ^^In the videos added to the first post you can hear from George himself that he has had a direct hand in the story and characters not only of the new trilogy but of the stories beyond. He is essentially handing over the remainder of his Star Wars work to Kathleen Kennedy and to Disney for them to oversee, execute and caretake for the rest of time. It was clear from the conference call that Disney plans on putting Star Wars in every outlet it has access to including movies, TV, merchandising, theme parks and other synergistic efforts to maximize their return. Most interestingly, while the deal does include certain access to Indiana Jones (despite there being some existing agreements in place with Paramount), the valuation for the deal was determined almost exclusively based on the calculated return value to be drawn from Star Wars in the coming years.

Double0Kevin Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Outside of theme parks, I think this will finally open up the Star Wars and Indiana Jones worlds to new thinkers and we won't get crap like the prequels and Crystal Skull. I wonder if Disney, with their ride to movie obsession, will make a Temple of the Forbidden Eye movie. As for parks, I see WDW benefiting more from this at the get go. DHS could go with a total SW land rather than Cars (Booster Bike themed to the forest speeders anyone?) and even expand the Indiana Jones offerings around the stunt show. DL should stick with Marvel since they can't get those franchises into the Florida Parks and it lets different attractions drive attendance on both coasts.

Chittlins Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 If Disney is doing Avatar at Animal Kingdom, why not a Dagobah System area. An enclosed launch coaster that that simulated the Death Star bombing run from Episode 4 would be cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCalCoasters Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Just to make sure we're clear, there were ONLY three Indy movies. ONLY Three. This deal is very interesting to me. I look forward to seeing what happens. During a Live Press conference call this afternoon they did say they're looking to place Star Wars immediately into both Shanghai and Hong Kong parks, as well as the other properties in the future.

sugart Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Disney has done a fantastic job with Marvel putting it in the hands of the people who care about it most, I see no reason why they wont do the same thing with Star Wars. I see nothing but fantastic content coming out of this. They no longer have to pay licensing fees for anything Star Wars, reap all the rewards from the billions it will bring in, and one of the biggest things is control of ILM. Think of all of the Marvel movies that they are now making that they wont have to budget speacial effects for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LawlessBagel Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 I don't mind if they make more Star Wars or Indy films IF they are GOOD. The 4th Indy film and Episode 1 were TERRIBLE. Episode II and III had their flaws but are watchable. I'm wondering how this will effect of the shell of a company that LucusArts had already become with most of their internal development ending a few years ago.
