Happy endings or pointless sequels to milk the profits? I get so confused…

Well, this has all been planned by Lucas. He told Seth Rogen that the world is ending in 2012.
Maybe he needs a few billion for a golden ticket on one of those top secret arks.

You mean like when Disney remade all those classic fairy tales and gave them happy endings?

Actually, he was just too tall. He received his medal privately, later.

Disney’s been releasing better movies than Lucas for what, twenty years?

Perhaps Wookies are like Hamburgers. (The people, not the meat.)

They do not accept medals from foreign masters, however well meant, ever since the 13th century.

Cedar Point seems to do just fine. It’s a scant two hour drive from the Detroit Metro.

Yeah, but we’ve got like, four *maybe* five months of theme park weather a year, since Michigan’s calendar is Winter, Winter Lite, WInter 64, Week of Spring™, Hot as Fuck, Week of Autumn™, Winter. The climate seems to be a reason big parks like Disney are in Florida or California.

The nerdgasm de jour right now is a Whedon Star Wars with Nathan Fillion as Jacen Solo.

also, TRON Legacy, while not amazing film art, was a good sequel to TRON. Also Disney.

The nerdgasm moment I had was when I realized that Disney was responsible for The Avengers, Joss Whedon was involved in that, and that Joss has written popular wild-west space opera himself…

They should create a new Star Wars dedicated theme park; perhaps in Detroit. (they have land and need the love there. ftr, I am near San Francisco)

Isn’t there some sort of antitrust clause somewhere about combining this much ability to screw your childhood memories over in 1 place?

unfortunately due to an ill-conceived ventilation shaft the entire thing was destroyed before construction was ever finished.
