In what appears to be a huge power play for Disney, it seems that they'll be buying out the 21st Century Fox division. The media giant is attempting to bolster its repertoire in order to offer more content when the company gets its own streaming service, to compete with Netflix and Amazon Prime Video. Disney now owns the rights to certain properties like The Simpsons, Family Guy, Deadpool, Modern Family, Sky TV, X-Men, and the one Star Wars movie that Disney didn't already have in its arsenal; the first Star Wars movie. They'll also get access to Fox's 30% shares of streaming service Hulu, which means coupled with the shares that Disney already owned, they now have 60% stake in Hulu, with the remaining 40% tied to Comcast and Time Warner. While Fox's Rupert Murdoch and Disney's Bob Iger both endorse the deal, it won't be signed and sealed until it passes through the US Government. This does not spell the end for Fox, however, as they will be keeping parts of their empire, such as Fox Sports 1+2, Fox News, and Fox Business Network.

Though it's more speculation than anything, perhaps due to having Disney own some of these franchises, we might see new games created with these IPs, or maybe even remasters of older games, as Disney is no newcomer to allowing their properties to be involved in some beloved games.

Wow....feel free to take my place in "the food line".

You're way to trusting or naive with that line of thinking....

Never stop asking why?

What are you on about?

The millions of people that liked Episode 7 and Rogue One disagree. Your opinion is an unpopular one.

Is this really something to question? Disney owns BILLIONS in franchises and has massive cashflow from thousands of sources...

Millions? I just see 1 guy on a forum defending this trash, that's not millions to me. Most of the old Star Wars fans, old fans, that I know, hate these new movies to death (many reasons to choose from).

Also, popular doesn't mean good either, not by a LONG stretch. If that was the case Justin Bieber would be better in everyway than Mozart and Beethoven. According to your logic he is much better.

Let's leave it at that.

So in summary, fuck Disney and it's feminst/socialist cunt producing these new movies, I won't call them Star Wars, cause they are simply not, they are trash.

I couldn't finish Rogue One. They shouldn't have finished it either.

I saw the full movie!! I had to focus, I put all my strength in it!! And it was horrible! Just as I thought, and in a way, it surprised me how it was even worse than I imagined. At the end of the movie (cause maybe you didn't get there), Leia shows herself as a CGI character, but those eyes, THOSE EYES, THOSE DEAD EYES looking at the camera, I got cold shivers just seeing that part.

So yeah, your instinct didn't fail you, it was bad and I would say that is good, but as a horror movie (if you are a Star Wars fan) or as a pro terrorist/comunist movie (if you are a commie, or a taliban).

Honestly they should have killed her off like they did Han Solo but off screen or something. Start a scene at a funeral closed casket. Maybe she should've got mauled by a crazed Wookiee.

Can someone dig up Roosevelt from his grave so he can help us with some Trust busting?

It doesn't matter, the government won't do an antitrust class action and people are too happy to care, like with every other megacorporation.
While I really love free market, I still believe a minimal government should regulate to keep it competitive, right now competition is pretty much dying in pretty much every sector of the market.

Yeah, I just hate when companies buy up other companies or products that I love because they just ruin them down the road, or kill them off entirely. Minecraft is okay... Good content and faster updates I guess. Star Wars seems better off with Disney for now. But then there's shit like Skype that are crappy now that Microsoft has the chokehold on them.

i thin disney need to chill the fuck out and not support the tax evading cunts,

there is no reason disney had to buy lucas film, never mind 21st Fox.7

clearly showing you greedy cunts who run a large enterprise that want monopoly.

As for star war, yea ive seen these already, your first trillogy had a style, your episodes had same style, your reboot, fuck me same shit, its like its directed by ninfuckingdontbother.

I will nod if they bring back King of the Hill (sans Luanne and Lucky).

 

[KingVamp]

If that's the case, bring back Futurama.

Disney is getting out of hand. I actually think the government needs to step in and block this, or split Disney up, or something.

Priorities. Break up Comcast and TWC into smaller subsidiaries first. Then the big banks. Then maybe Disney.

Yeah, I'm sure government would listen to their people instead of mega corp with a lots of money.
