Never did watch Phineas and Ferb (never had the channel, and even when I did see it I had no care for the show). :P
I think Disney is having too much fun with their new Star Wars purchase. I mean, it's nice to have fun with it, but when you decide to mix up Star Wars with a Disney show like this, it's just a sign that your flaunting the fact that you now have the ability to license ANYTHING with Star Wars. I think Disney needs to cool their jets with the Star Wars crossover ideas, and actually focus on where they could put the Star Wars franchise in their products, while maintaining a good profit and making happy consumers. I can see the crossovers getting old really fast.
Here's an idea for Disney: BRING BACK THE CLONE WARS!!!!
However, I sense this will be soon to come... :slap:

Well, it isn't like we didn't expect it or see it coming.
Just glad they didn't kick it off with a princess/musical of some kind (though I'm sure that's on it's way as we speak.)

My hope will either be restored or crushed, depending on how they make Star Wars Seven. Feels like it's going to be a horrible reboot that will try to sink to the level of mainstream media, to make the crowds happy. Without Lucas controlling it's quality and design I feel it has a very good chance that it's doomed to failure.
I'd rather it be an amazing Cult Classic that sold very little, over it being a awful crowd pleaser that was adapted to social comfort zones. Although my opinions still remain unfounded, until a latter time.
.. and thus a million voices cried in unison and were suddenly silenced ...

Do you mean this? You can't be serious.
My reaction? "Hold the rage in. Once Episode VII comes and SW Rebels it will all be ok......................it better be ok."
I'm deadly serious. I really, and I mean I really don't like that show.
I know there are members here that do like it. You're allowed to, we all have very different tastes. If everyone in the world liked the same things imagine how boring it would be.
I actually took the time to shoop this.

DISNEY! WHAT HATH THOU DONE TO THY GREATEST FRANCHISE EVER!?!?!
If they seriously decide upon doing a Star Wars takeover series with the Mickey Mouse cast in it, my hope in Disney making Star Wars successful is going to be extremely thin. The new Rebels series and the new movie will be the only things now that make me actually have hope that Disney can make Star Wars successful.

Evacuate thread!!(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/58361588/evacuate.png)
I'm holding back.. :shutup:
And with this, I have completely lost faith in the direction the Star Wars franchise is going.
C'mon, Disney! Seriously? :td:

George Lucas did a terrible job of controlling the quality of the prequel trilogy, without him leading the project it can only go up from rock bottom. This is the guy who at some point approved Star Wars Kinect.
I don't know why anybody is really surprised by Disney doing crossovers, in this day and age crossovers are all over the place. They're meant to increase brand value and get people excited about their IP's. Star Wars should be a hit with kids, even though the last movies were made almost 10 years ago. The way to set it up for success in the future is to get it popular with kids and the young crowd. And Star Wars is a huge money maker, I'm not surprised at all that they're trying to cash in on it.
And again, don't make the mistake of thinking that Disney is cashing in on Star Wars any more than George Lucas already has. George Lucas did his fair share of star wars cartoons too.

The original star wars was never a cult classic. According to wikipedia,
QuoteProduced with a budget of $11 million and released on May 25, 1977, the film earned $460 million in the United States and $314 million overseas
Star Wars isn't an obscure franchise, it's one that's shaken pop culture like no other. It is as mainstream as it gets, and it's a huge money maker. If club penguin or phineas and ferb offer kids some fun that's fine, their entertainment is not interfering with mine. As long as the next movies are a shoulder above the prequel movies I'll be fine with it. And as long as EA makes more mature games geared at people older than 12, then the franchise will be hitting all demographics and we should be happy.
