A Disturbance In The Force

So, word came out yesterday that Disney was buying Lucasfilm for $4 billion dollars, and that a new Star Wars film would be hitting theaters in 2015, likely without the involvement of George Lucas.  After picking my jaw up off the floor, my initial thoughts were not positive.  But, after a little reflection, I think this could be a good move for the future of the Star Wars franchise.  Disney has had recent success with their acquisition of Marvel and their handling of Marvel Studios, especially this years blockbuster with The Avengers.  Last year, they successfully rebooted the Muppets franchise.  Overall, I think they will be a good landing spot for the Lucasfilm properties.
