So I was asked to put a "positive" spin from last night's post.
What if Disney actually did a better job with Star Wars than Lucas. What would have to happen for me to admit I was wrong? Here's my top 5:
1) Keep the Expanded Universe in-tact
The #1 thing they have to do to keep me to stay is keep the Expanded Universe around and undisturbed. Star Wars continuity is so unique that it's the only thing that separates it from every other sci-fi story in Hollywood. If Disney discards it all, then they've lost several million Star Wars fans including myself over night. To let us know that we haven't wasted our time reading excellent novels over the years would be the best move they could make.
But I'm demanding a little but more...
2) Bring out the Original Trilogy in Blu-ray
Lucas hated the fans and wouldn't do it. Now Disney has the chance to make everyone happy and get this done. I don't see why they wouldn't however. It screams dollar signs for them, especially if they put in ALL the deleted scenes from the first three movies and not just scraps and tidbits that Lucas set out to dry on the last Blu-ray set.
3) Release FULL soundtracks to Episodes 2 and 3 on CD
Lucas fooled all the Star Wars fan into buying the soundtrack to Episode 1 and then buying the "full" version of it later that year. But when the same trick didn't work twice on Episode 2 Lucas took his toys back to Skywalker Ranch and pouted. Leaving us out in the cold without a chance to purchase the incredible work John Williams performed in both movies.
4) Bring out the Ewok movies on blu-ray
This one sounds a little pathetic I know, but I'd like to see those films brought out with more fan fare. Add deleted scenes and some commentary. Give us some behind the scenes stuff. These movies weren't bad and all the kids who watched them back then are money-carrying adults by now. Surely Disney wouldn't pass up the extra moolah for this?
5) Build "Star Wars World" at all Disney Theme Parks
Can you imagine how awesome this would be? And how it would beat the pants off Universal's Harry Potter World if they did?
Walk the city of Mos Eisley. Stop in for a drink at the cantina, or dinner at Jabba's Palace with live entertainers on a stage with Jabba!
Walk the streets of Corusaunt. Stop by the Jedi Academy for a lesson from a Jedi Knight. The Possibilities are endless!
There. Is that "positive" enough for you? Now leave me alone...I want to go cry over some blue milk.

So I just read today that unless 20th Century Fox really wants to say a big F.U. to Lucas and Disney, we won't see the Original Trilogy until about 2020, because they still have home video rights. However, I think the Ewok movies (which I really want as well) as well as the Droids and Ewok animated series could see a nice blu ray release
That's not positive, that's demanding your way, or you walk. How old are you, again? Hahaha, you're so money.
I think you gotta see what they do, and hope for the best. You never know. If anything, I have high hopes for episode 7 and beyond, with the possibilities they have for new directors. As far as scarcity goes, the new trilogy will have started 10 years after the last one ended. That's not that soon.
