As most nerds know by now, Disney has bought the rights to the Star Wars stuff from George Lucas. And you know what that means, right? Finally there will be a planet of little mermaids, Dumbo flying elephants, beasts (from Beauty and the Beast) with talking china and kitchen utensils, etc. Oh, but the part that excites me the most is the possibilities of mixing Star Wars with other Disney properties; and you know what I’m talking about, right?
That’s right, I’m talking about throwing the Marvel Comics characters into the new Star Wars movies! Seriously, whenever Tony Stark needs money, he could time-warp into the Star Wars galaxy to sell the Death Star to the Empire, or to sell light sabers to the Jedi Knights (after all, he is a weapons salesman, right? How else can he pay for his Iron Man stuff?), etc. Oh, but proving they’re evil, the Empire stiffs him, so he time-warps back through the time-space continuum with The Avengers, and they team up with Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia to kick Darth Vader’s and the Evil Emperor’s asses! You know it would be great! Oh, and to wrap the whole thing up nicely, it turns out that the Sith lords are given all their power by Galactus, and when The Fantastic Four defeat him with the ultimate nullifier, the Sith lose their power, enabling Luke Skywalker (and the Avengers) to defeat them! And so peace reigns throughout the Star Wars galaxy (at least until Tony Stark needs more money, that is)!
And we could get buddy movies like Chewbacca & Beast (from X-Men), Han Solo & Wolverine: An Army of Two Rebels, Jar Jar Binks & Howard the Duck, Darth Vader & Dr. Doom, Darth Sidious Meets Dark Phoenix, etc. It would be great! Plus, there could be all kinds of spin-offs, like The Submariner in the Water World of Naboo, The Incredible Hulk vs. the Rancor, The Kingpin vs. The Hut, Ghost Rider Joins the Pod Race, etc.
But this whole Disney/Star Wars thing opens up another possibility too: Star Wars on Ice! I think Robot Chicken already made fun of that possibility, but now it could be real!
