(13,227 posts)If there was one company that could be trusted to take good care of Lucas' baby, it's probably Disney. They've done insanely well with Pixar, which was founded by Lucas. And, with a great deal of initial skepticism, they bought the Muppets and Marvel franchises and made them stronger.
Lucas has been talking about scaling back since "Red Tails" came out, and that he desired to go back to smaller scale indie flicks. Hey, what else does he have to prove?
Lucasfilm and Disney seem like a good marriage. Disney is stable and takes care of it's properties. Fox distributed all the Star Wars flicks previously (though Lucas owns them), but Lucas hasn't really liked Fox since they sacked Alan Ladd Jr. (Taking Indiana Jones to Paramount was his middle finger to them). And I'm sure he doesn't think much of Fox's current ownership.
