Resolved: Disney buying out LucasFilms is more positive than negative

"George Lucas will be given a role as the executive producer on Star Wars, which has a lot more creative control than the director many times. He's also going to have a hand in every part of the creative process. George Lucas is 67 years old and out of touch. Fans of Star Wars hated episode 1. Lucas inserted that annoying Jar Jar Binks character among many other missteps."While Lucas created the much-hated episode 1, let's not forget he created the original trilogy as well. George Lucas's creativity is what made episodes 4, 5, and 6, along with the entire EU, possible and as great as it is. While he made plenty of mistakes like Jar Jar, you'd have to be really thick to not see that fans hated him. It would be incredibly difficult for Lucas to never have seen all the hate inspired by his mistakes, and there's no way he'd try something like that again. Even if he makes a few new ones, that just means less mistakes made next movie."There going to completely water down and destroy the Star Wars universe. They are plan on releasing a show, rushing out 3 new Star Wars films, starting a theme park etc."There's already been a show and hundreds of comics and books based on Star Wars, and very few people claimed these "ruined" or "watered down" the Star Wars universe. Even Harry Potter got a theme park, and all it did was get Warner Bros. extra money, it never effected the quality of the books and/or movies like you think the Star Wars one will."Disney has a lot of incentive to keep Walt Disney's (AKA Hitler's http://www.debate.org......) original creative work sacred. There's no such incentive with Star Wars. The best thing the CEO can do to keep his job and get a huge raise is; rush out a new trilogy extremely quick, remake the original trilogy, insert a bunch of new characters into all these films to increase how many toys they can sell, and start a stupid mini theme park."Yes, that will earn the CEO money, but you provide no reason for why this harms Star Wars or a fan's view of the series."This would bring disney billions of dollars extremely quickly making the CEO look like a genius, while also destroying Star Wars. Once the current generations of fans die and the new blood sees the watered down stuff first, and doesn't give the old trilogy a chance. The franchise will be discarded like an old prostitute."So, what you're saying is, new fans of a franchise will like different parts of it than current fans? The horror! And there's no reason to forget the original Star Wars trilogy will be forgotten. Star Wars is one of the three biggest sci-fi franchises ever, along with Star Trek and Doctor Who. The prequel trilogy didn't make everyone forget about the original Star Wars, TNG didn't make anyone forget about the original Star Trek, the new series didn't make anyone forget about the new Doctor Who. In fact, each of these reboots only led to people looking into the originals, a lot of them to like the beginnings more. So, why should the sequel trilogy be any different?"Remakes of Labrynth are likely to be like remakes of Robocop. Everybody has fond memories of the original film, but it has no cult following. This means the movie has to stand on it's own merit an can't use the previous incarnation to bootstrap sales with."Robocop certainly does have a cult following, which is why almost no one liked that remake. However, Labyrinth, at least to today's generation, is almost unknown. This would make a remake, catering to today's shorter attention span, let a new generation see what everyone else did in the eighties."People are tired of the Indiana Jones crap."Yes, the fourth one was a mistake. But, not because it was more Indiana Jones, because it was a bad script. If a new, actually good Indiana Jones fillm came out, I'm sure there would be no reasonable objections."I'd like to point out, the comparisons to Marvel aren't fair. Marvel's fans are created in the comic book store. Disney can screw up several times and the fan base doesn't care, because the comics are still good. If the comics started to suck, they then lose all that consistent revenue. If you look the films released by Marvel they're sub par. They're extremely mediocre and the fans know it. They don't care, because the comics are awesome. Part of the reason comic fans go to see these movies is so they can complain about how the movie sucked. Look at Iron Man 3, both Thor movies and the Spider-Man reboot. Fans hate those movies, but they can't help themselves."While Iron Man 3 and the Thors were both not very good, almost no other recent movie of theirs (Spider Man belongs to Sony) has had any serious, justified criticism. As I've said multiple times, Star Wars is constantly getting pumped with EU material, in the forms of comics and books. If fans are disappointed, they can just read those, just like comic fans."The original fans that are remaining will stop paying to watch these movies in protest of where the franchise is headed."And millions of new fans shall continue to pay for Star Wars, most likely mre than making up for the old fans that leave."Sure disney sees some short term benefit to milking Star Wars for all it's worth, but they screw over the fans and they screw over the original creators, it's probably even a long term negative financially for Lucas and Disney, but what do they care they'll be dead before the negativity rebounds and hits them in the face."Disney spent $4.2 bill. How likely is it they won't earn it back through the theme park, toys, and movies? Even if they only have a net gain of $1 bil per movie, they could still easily earn the rest through toys and the park.
