Disney bought Star Wars & Indiana Jones. - Episode 7 in 2015

As long as we recognize Lucas is washed up and most TV sucks, we'll all get along fine.

New trilogy and three spin offs all in production.

I missed this other conversation earlier, so here goes:

I would fund a kickstarter for a 5th Element/Riddick crossover. Any reason they can't exist in the same universe?


I'd say the "Federation" from 5th and that empire from Riddick would have trouble co-existing.

The tone of the films could not be more different.

Riddick takes place in a completely different galaxy too.

What would be the point of merging them?

Smash them together and see what happens.

It occurred to me that they have footage of all the scenes with Jar Jar Binks without Jar Jar Binks in them.
They can add new CGI and new audio.
They can replace him with Goofy so it'll be slightly less annoying!

"Gawrsh!"

You might want to sit down for this one.

Rupert Murdoch recently failed to buy WB right? Well, speculation is running rampant over who the next bidder is going to be and signs point to some Chinese guy.

But here's the thing, the second suitor in the list is...Disney.

If you're Disney, it's got to be tempting right? They'd get CNN and would then have a major network (ABC), the premier sports network ESPN, and one of the big two news networks. Not to mention the Disney channel.

They'd get WB's huge library of hit movies.

They'd also get DC comics and everything associated with them. Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, Flash, etc. would become the property of Disney. Disney could go balls deep on a super hero theme park and have no shortage of characters. They'd dominate animated super hero shows and movies. They'd be able to have both publishers work together and occasionally swap characters. Who doesn't want to see Wolverine and Batman?

Finally, after 2022 which is the final year Marvel has plotted out for it's films currently, they could announce Avengers vs Justice League the movie. Tell me that alone wouldn't make a billion dollars.

Looks more like a Z-95 Headhunter, to me.

Death Star in 7?

For fuck's sake I hope not. It's been done! Let's move on to something new.

JJ's involvement has killed all interest in this for me. If it comes out and people think it's great I'll check it out. Otherwise I'm not making plans for it.

I can't think of any way JJ could make it worse than Lucas did.
