Millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced. I fear something terrible has happened.

Worship (large)
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

I realize that is an awfully high bar, but....


Yes.

One good thing that may come from this. Episodes I-III have a infintessimally small, but non-zero chance of ending up in the Vault.

The thought of Mickey Mouse swinging a light saber is too much to bear.

That is mitigated by the thought of Daffy Duck squawking in the syntax of Yoda.

Mel Brooks recycles a lot - but that's part of the fun - like running inside jokes.

I'm of two minds.

1) Fffffffffffffffffffffffffffffuuuuuuuuuck.

2) Wait - could this mean the Jedi Academy books get made into films? I'M FUCKING FOR IT! EU ALL THE WAY!
PS - someone had to take it off his hands after Jar Jar. That's all I'm saying.

You think Disney isn't capable of much, much worse than Jar Jar?

No, Disney is bound by the laws of physics.
