So Mickey just bought a light saber...

[kelmo]

Thoughts? Can the Empires merge? Can I get a Vader helmet with mouse ears? What will be the next ride at Disney world? Episode 7, how many years pass? Will Solo and the princess have kids? Pirates or Jedis? So many questions!

Will Solo and the princess have kids? Pirates or Jedis? So many questions!

Where have you been? They had 3 kids... Twins Jacen and Jaina plus a younger son named Anakin. Jacen goes over to the Dark Side... Anakin dies... Jaina seems OK so far...

ya really think Mickey is gonna follow a bunch of random fiction written in the 80's?

 

[Tazar]

Considering that the novels (about 80 of them) were all written with Lucas Arts backing and participation - and that the most recent was released October 12th, 2012 with another scheduled for November 13th, 2012... yep - I do. I have a feeling that profits from the books is a large part of the value in Disney's purchase.

A commentator that I was listening to yesterday said that Disney has been pretty hands-off with these types of projects lately. Long as it makes money, Mickey may not have much input.
