Now That Disney Owns Star Wars, This is What They Did With Darth Vader
For those of you worried about Disney’s purchase of Lucasfilm, they didn’t ruin comics when they bought Marvel, right? They certainly didn’t ruin sports by owning ESPN either, so if you’re worried that they’ll turn Star Wars into some kind of Kingdom Hearts-style mashup where Mickey can’t stop feeling disturbances in the Force, I’d recommend a wait-and-see approach first. On the other hand, all of those animatronic kids in It’s a Small World getting Force-choked until they can’t sing anymore would be just fine. However you feel about the purchase, this is how Disney celebrated, playing on the old stereotype of where athletes say they’re going to go after they win some kind of bowl or finals or world-spanning series. At any rate, don’t forget: Many people would say Disney is a more terrifying cult than the Sith anyway.

- Don’t forget, Episode VII is projected for a 2015 release
- George Lucas is going to use the $4 billion from the Lucasfilm sale to fund education
- If you think a Disney Star Wars would be a weird mix, what about this thing?
