I give credit where credit is due...
Buying Star Wars is a bold and good move for Disney... It's "in the crapper" by it's standards... Profitable but completely at its creative low point and adrift.
Disney, with its rep and capital... Are in a unique position to breathe life into it. That is something that is promising...
Credit where credit is due. If they don't chase cheap Chinese toys until AFTER they make some great movies...I'm all in.
But as far as my pessimism... It's more or less common sense and two functioning eyes...
"New" Fantasyland is basically on the scale of a rather uneventful addition to
Disneyland in the mid 60's...the "horn tooting" in the back of my head died down in about 10 minutes after entrance...
My personal new favorite is the " Carsland and Star Wars land is a go... Reliable source says"
Right... After spending a couple of billion on a park retrofit, two new overpriced cruiseship, and about 10 billion in IP acquisitions... Why not pour another couple of billion into the flagship resort that is already host to about 50 million annually and makes huge profits?
Why? Cause the "people want it"... Even if they use their wallets anyway...
Or cause they are so scared to death of the Hogwarts train across town that their market share might go from 78% to 77% of the market share?
This stuff is obvious to figure out... If you stop and think about it.
