It's all over...

The Dark Mouse of the Sith has arrived. (If you don't know what I'm talking about, then you just aren't nerd enough.) And now someone is going to take our beloved icon, perhaps the single most influential movie of the past half-century, and add annoyingly stupid animated characters, child protagonists, terrible directing, and worse writing.

Oh, wait... I guess that's already happened...

Hmmm... In that case...

Could this turn of events be even worse? Well, that just seems unlikely if not impossible.

Could this possibly be a good thing? Well, let's see how it turned out for Pixar and Marvel since their respective acquisitions.

Since they were acquired in 2006, Pixar has produced: Ratatouille, Wall-E, Up, Toy Story 3, Cars 2, and Brave. There's some really good movies in that list.

As for Marvel, they have so far only distributed Marvel's The Avengers under the new umbrella. But it seems that one did ok...


So... While some of you might ought to go hide under your beds until the fallout is over, methinks there could be a promising future waiting when you peek out again...
