Star Wars As We Know It Is Over!

Posted by Paul | March 11, 2013 at 09:37 AM ET

OK, that's definitely a bit dramatic, but check out this article quote that good friend Chris Swanksi from BanthaSkull.com directed us to and see if your stomach doesn't quiver. I have to say I pretty much agree with Chris' sentiments. Click through to check it all out. The article certainly illuminates part of the reason for the cancellation of The Clone Wars as well (should you decide to infer such things).

Hey Paul,

You might want to reference this link with respect to The Clone Wars series being cancelled:

http://www.businessweek.com/articles/2013-03-07/how-disney-bought-lucasfilm-and-its-plans-for-star-wars#p1

Most of the article is merely a history of the LFL purchase, but there is one rather reveling tidbit from Robert Iger at the end:

“Iger is busy readying the machinery that will crank out Star Wars-related toys and theme park attractions and whatever Disney deems as appropriate franchise exploitation. He says he’s looking to expand sales of Star Wars merchandise overseas and that ABC and Lucasfilm are discussing a live-action TV series. At the same time, Iger says he doesn’t want to do anything that might detract from the upcoming movies. “I don’t want to overcommercialize or overhype this,” he says. “It’s my job to prevent that.””

It really seems like Disney is clearing the decks of Star Wars related media to starve the market in advance of Episode VII. It’s actually pretty forward thinking of them if that’s their plan. That quote is on page 5.
