Disney is buying Lucasfim.

Disney is buying Star Wars. (And Willow, right?)

Disney is buying Star Wars?

Let that sink in.

Did it sink in? No?

That’s okay.

Here I thought Star Wars and Angry Birds was the big news today . . .

A big part of me thinks it MUST be a hoax. A bigger part of me thinks that a Star Wars: Episode 7 is something I want to see. And an even BIGGER part of me thinks that is a HORRIBLE idea.

Scrooge McDuck is getting ready to swim in a second money bin, I think. And George Lucas will be swimming in his own!

More as it develops . . .
