Disney is in big financial trouble, and desperate times call for desperate measures...including shutting down projects, liquidating assets...and selling Lucasfilm! This is what a source told me on Monday, as I reported in my last video about these rumors, and after that video I was contacted by Kamran Pasha, whose source codenamed Sparrow independently confirmed much of what my source alleged, but then added one detail - they believe GEORGE LUCAS is the BUYER!
Folks, this video contains a MASSIVE amount of information and rumors coming out of Disney, so kick back, grab some popcorn or a stiff drink, and listen as Kamran and I compare notes about the drastic measures allegedly being contemplated at Disney! #disney #lucasfilm #starwars

Everything Disney touches turns to shit.
The Star Wars brand has been turning to sh*t since the release of Episode 1... Actually, it started with Episode VI,Return of the Jedi. Between the Death Star redux, and the ridiculous Ewoks, it was pretty much over.
Empire was the best episode.
It’s been a rumor for the past several days. That’s all it is. It’s very doubtful that Lucas is going to buy back the family farm (or rescue his children from “white slavers” as he called Disney a few years ago). He’s almost 80 years old now. He spends his time with his child and working on his big filmmaking museum.
Why is this writer’s hair on fire? Someone put it out, please, so he can just type.
well, contrary to your opinion, Star Wars did great until Disney and “the force is a women” Kathleen Got involved.
No way Disney is selling that cash cow. And George is basically retired, part of why he sold it is his kids didn’t want to take over, so he has not one to hand it to. And they gave $4 billion.
Agreed, and by a wide margin over everything else except the original movie, simply known as "Star Wars" at the time.
Also, Han shot first.
That was the explanation given when they canceled the billion dollar unit in Florida they could no longer afford to build and staff.
I'm sure it has nothing to do with a company whose business model is built on entertaining families and children, embracing modern woke sexual perversion.
As H.L. Mencken (allegedly) famously said, "Nobody ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American public."
“Empire was the best episode.”
I agree. The SW franchise peaked with Empire Strikes Back.
The Disney-fied Star Wars has mostly been tedious crap.
It would be interesting if Disney sold Star Wars to Lucas or whomever, and the buyer declared the last 10 years’ worth of projects as “non-canonical” ... and told completely different stories going forward.
Would he run it in a non-woke way?
Be pretty cool if they sold the theme parks to someone who would return them to traditional values.
“Trumpland - welcome to the MAGA Kingdom!”
Baby Yoda. Seriously? I left after the Teddy Bears.
Back in 1977 when I was just a wee lad, star wars was the greatest thing on the planet. Then Empire came out I think when I was in 6th grade and wow...freakin awesome...got to see it at a hollywood theater. Then the teddy bear movie came out when I was in high school and I thought it was the dumbest thing on the planet and forever lost interest
I used to like and enjoy Disney products. However, since this woke perversion, I buy nothing even remotely attached to Disney.
Yes, yes and yes!
Star Wars has sucked since............ 1977...........................
I think the Star Wars brand is irreparably damaged. I don’t think George himself can save it.
IV had C-3PO providing too much comic relief (IMHO looking back now)
V added to it with a muppet Jedi master
VI added even more of a juvenile angle with the teddy bears
I added even more with Ja Ja Binks
It's like each new Star Wars movie had to out-juvenile the prior ones. Perhaps to contrast them also getting consecutively darker in other ways (i.e. V had Luke learning Vader is his father and cutting his arm off, VI had Luke tempted to go dark himself, etc.)
