I dont remember what Disney paid...$6 Bill? $3 Bill? I dont remember, but the hype for the next trilogy will be and is, unreal, but as products/scenes/rides, etc leak out...it will be your all time record breaking movie in terms of revenues, tickets, etc etc..pay per view, you name it.

If they just had a store that I could sit in a Virtual Ship of whatever this is, and go for 20 minutes for $40??? OK, I am in....and the line would be out the door...and I am not even a Warhead, or whatever they want to be called....dont own a figure, ship or light saber...

Disney will triple their investment easily.

I am thinking way more than that...triple might just be year 1. They are talking about this Star Wars world? Village? Get me on some kind of mini magnetic lift ride, shooting lasers...I am in...then head to the cantina! get me a room at the futuristic hotel, a 3 titted blue hooker, a high five from jaba and have some storm troopers knock us over.....where do I sign up?

Didn't have you pegged as a Star Wars nerd.

BR wants to dress up as slave Leia.

I'm not...thats the point....the nerds will probably have a heart attack they will be so excited by all of it, making the lines a little shorter.

I am happy to go and happy to leave without even buying a t shirt.

Now, if they have a working light saber....I could use that.

They will make it back on the movies alone.

They have the trilogy to finish. They are also going to do movies on the backround stories of several characters. I know they already have one on Han Solo in the works. My grandkids will be Star Wars fans.

I hope not, the originals were great. These new ones suck.

I agree with Knuckles. SW/ Empire/Jedi are unassailable in their greatness. Everything and anything thats come out since is garbage.

It aint the six minutes. Its what happens in those six minutes.

You realize Disney hadn't yet bought the rights when those came out, right? One has nothing to do with the other, except that Disney will probably make $25 mil alone on Darth Maul merchandise.

I'm sure Disney will make a fortune on toys n accessories.. But the movies will be horrible.

I'd have to read up but I do not know if Lucas gave up merchandising for past movies or characters.

If you ever saw Fan Boys the last line in the movie made me fall out of my chair.
The movie revolves around a true story of a bunch of Star Wars Fan boys who learn one of them has cancer and will not make it to see the opening of Episode 1 so they plan on a trip west to sneak onto Skywalker to try and see a copy so he can see it before he dies. They get caught,Lucas lets the one with cancer see it then flash forward like 2 years to the open and as the credits role the one guy looks to the other and deadpans,"I sure hope this does not suck"

Bigfan must have some super secret source if he knows this "Star Wars Thing" is going to be big.

Well I know you are a leader of industry and are so aware of $6 bill deals, maybe you can tell us about those $6B deals that have produced 5 or 10X's that kind of investment?
