Recently, the almighty Disney bought out Lucasfilm for $4.05 billion. The ruckus caused by this is actually a little ridiculous. As Disney plans to continue the saga in 2015, the “Star Wars” fans are pretty worried about the series becoming just another fairy tale.

It’s in the heads of many people that Princess Leia is now a Disney princess and the fighting will be practically non-existent. This shouldn’t even be a worry.

The branch of Disney that makes the kiddy movies that are filled with happily-ever-afters won’t be the one creating “Star Wars.” Leia won’t be joining Belle and Ariel or turning in her crazy hairstyles and blaster for a shiny, gold crown and a frying pan as if she were in
“Tangled.”

Disney also owns Marvel. “The Avengers” earned over $600 million and had movie critics and fans raving about it for months. There was no lack of fighting in that movie. It didn’t degrade the original intent of Stan Lee, and this will be the same for the vision of George Lucas.

The day Black Widow gets the status of Mulan is the day Leia becomes the next Snow White. Disney already has “Star Wars” characters and attractions in their theme parks anyway. If she was destined for that title, she’d already have it.

Disney owns seemingly everything. Believe it or not, they own ESPN, ABC networks and Touchstone Pictures, among others. There seem to be few complaints about content from these guys. The new movies may not be exactly what we’re used to, but I have no doubt they’ll turn out to be just as good in many ways.
I expect the new movies to follow the standard of the old ones made by George Lucas’ company. It’s also been said Disney plans to include him in the writing, directing and producing.

The special effects won’t disappoint either. It’s a new day and age, and we have tons of new ways of making lightsabers look realistic. Combine  that with one of the top movie making companies there is, and you’ll probably get some great films.
I don’t expect them to be anything less than other movies Disney has made in the past. If the new “Star Wars” are bad, forget their existence and only watch the originals. For now, just hope for the best. Hakuna Matata.
