Say it ain't so. It seems that George Lucas finally let go of his 40+ year galactic empire. Lucas sold off his 100% ownership to Disney. It think that this a good strategy, since Disney has done great with studio purchases in the past (Marvel and Pixar). Plus they will be able to put a lot of market and product muscle behind star wars to make sure that this brand does not get tarnished in the coming years. Disney's brand is one of the strongest in family entertainment and Star Wars is one of the most recognizable sci-fi brands in the world.
Also announced is a new Star Wars Episode 7 movie, which will come out in 2015. WOW. So now in addition to Avengers 2, they also will have a new Star Wars movie.
Lets just hope that future star wars games are more adult themed than cartoony and kid like.
