Disney Buys Lucasfilm, and Darth Vader Goes To Disney World!



It would seem that NFL players aren't the only ones who get to celebrate victories by going to Disney World; Dark Lords of the Sith apparently enjoy that luxury as well. In case you are behind the 8ball, you should know that Disney shook the entertainment industry to the core with the $4.05 billion purchase of Lucasfilm and it's subsidiaries. COOL.

It's not really new news to be found here, and you won't learn anything about the sale that you didn't know before. This is just a light-hearted, Disney promoting clip that you would typically see while riding a shuttle bus to a resort hotel destination. Enjoy it for what it is.

I do think that this purchase is going to mean good news for Star Wars fans. Disney has proven itself capable of absorbing popular brands with minimal homogenization. Just look at Marvel and Pixar for shining example. As a matter of fact; why don't you wait and see what comes of this before turning to Obi-Wan as your only hope?
