Check out the Legacy Control Facebook page, where it’s ladies night every Thursday.
So this is pretty true. As soon as I heard about the Dinsey and Lucas Arts deal I started (and nearly finished) strip about him lining his pockets with a cool 4 bil. It hurt when I read that he was being “Good Guy Lucas” but I went ahead and started over and came up with this strip.
I was upset at first about the deal, having the knee jerk reaction that most of the internet shared. Disney will “kiddiefy” and “annualize” the franchise to death. Well I reailzed that had already done, by Lucas. And then I read an article on The PA Report, that described a lot of good points, you should check it out. But it basically reminded me that Disney is the same company that gave us avengers with Joss Whedon at the helm. It could be great, but it sure shouldn’t be any worse.
You may notice the strip looks a little different today. I have been working for a while on updating the strips style. I will be making the next few strips this way in hopes you all will give me some feedback and let me know if you all are for or against the change.
Happy Friday,

This style looks to innocent, I might actually feel bad if this Agro gets violated… almost
Oh, and he will be violated.
When I read Disney got the rights to Star Wars, I punched out the closet window, bitched but then that same day, I Am ARG, showed what I forgot most about. A fecking Lightsaber Keyblade for Kingdom Hearts 3. While I do believe Star Wars should be left alone, I will accept the change if I get a Lightkeyblade.
A venerable aspiration.
I thought about it, was a little upset and then figured they can’t screw it up any worse than Lucas has already.
Psst: It’s Joss Whedon (I think you got confused with Will Wheaton or something by accident). What a strange baby they would make.
Ha, yep, I was a little drinkish when I wrote the blog. I have remedied it, thanks:)
No biggie, I hate to point out stuff like that but I figured you might want to know. Being “drinkish” is a perfectly acceptable reason for the error. đŸ˜‰
Call me naive, but this opens up an awesome possibility: Kingdom Hearts games with Start Wars in it…! đŸ˜€
I must admit I hadn’t thought about that, but now that you and Nekro mentioned it, that IS exciting.
Disney got the rights to Star Wars? They’ll turn it all animated and take out all the cool stuff like lightsabers and crap.
Remember, Disney also owns Marvel and they haven’t ruined that.
Disney just didn’t buy the rights to Star Wars. They bought the entirely of Lucas Film and Lucas Arts. This means they now also own Indiana Jones.
I like to imagine a world where Disney fully utilizes their new acquisition and starts pumping out new adventure games. New Maniac Mansion, Full Throttle, Monkey Island, GRIM FUCKING FANDANGO, etc.
It won’t happen but everyone is ONLY talking about Star Wars. I’m thinking of everything else they have control of.
The possibilities are truly exciting, I must concede.
Damn that Lucas and his philanthropy.
Didn’t he realize I had already finished a strip…the selfish bastard.
Since Disney also bought the Muppets maybe this is Star Wars and Puppet Sage Yoda together again???!!!?!?!?!?!!!!!!eleeeeeveeen
Crossed my fingers are.
It depends on when it takes place in the time line..because… SPOLIER ALERT, yoda dies.
However now Princess Leia is officially a Disney princess, which makes her the most awesome and badass Disney Princess ever.
well the way disney does stuff, they wont be directly making the franchise in their own image, they will basically act like Viacom which owns almost all of tv but is usually silent while it rakes in the dough.
disney is trying to be viacom for movies.
A concise analogy, I don’t think its necessarily a bad direction.
I think your new style looks like the “troll face” style now. It seems a bit too angular to me.
Thanks for the feedback, I may tone down the angles a bit.
i thought it gives cool dimension. And i like the banana.
Ha, thanks Steph:)
