Disney has taken the Star Wars franchise to new heights, but it’s also made substantial changes! Subscribe to our channel: http://goo.gl/ho3Hg6
Back in 2012, The Walt Disney Company bought LucasFilm to add Star Wars to its ever-growing list of sub-brands.
As a result, Luke Skywalker, Han Solo and Yoda joined the likes of Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, Buzz Lightyear, Iron Man and Captain America as Disney’s flagship characters – who could have seen that coming ten years ago?!
But with that purchase came a number of changes to the Star Wars franchise – some for the better, some for the worse – and that’s what this video’s about.
The changes in question are; there’s now one Star Wars movie per year, inexperienced and indie directors are being hired to helm the movies (and usually end up being removed from their respective project), the accepted canon of the Star Wars Extended Universe is being ignored, alternate media (video games, comic books etc) are being messed with, the movies are getting digital editions, anthology/spin-off movies are becoming the norm, Disney are afraid to take chances like the earlier Star Wars movies did, there’s no longer one single person in charge of writing, the commercial success of Star Wars has gone through the roof (with “Force Friday” epitomising that), and there’s now going to be a Star Wars Land at some of Disney’s most popular theme parks in the United States.
