Disney, you may have purchased Star Wars, but in a profound way, the mythos belongs to all of us. We're putting our trust in you, so please, make us proud. As a gesture of good faith, I have made this image to commemorate the occasion. (i.imgur.com)

If I catch you posting other people's work as your own again, I'm banning you.

This was made by /u/mehatch yesterday- did everyone think our header (with the same f'n image) was retconned into existence?

[–]JizzPoweredSteamboat 65 points66 points ago

Why not just ban him now? Fuck this guy.

[–]SweetNeo85 23 points24 points ago

Nah, everyone deserves at least one warning.

[–]GamerKT 35 points36 points ago

No half measures.

[–]IamApickle 21 points22 points ago

..........bitch

[–]Thomas1122 6 points7 points ago

Run.

[–]redpariah 8 points9 points ago

I say just ban him and use this excuse; "I have altered the deal, pray I do not alter it any further."

[–]SweetNeo85 7 points8 points ago

Ugh. Fucking amateurs.

"I am altering the deal. Pray I do not alter it any further."

[–]redpariah 6 points7 points ago

No... No... It's not true... THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE!

Thanks for correcting me but there is no need to be so rude.

[–]SweetNeo85 -1 points0 points ago

that's not true...

[–]redpariah 1 point2 points ago

Keel-ee caleya ku kah.

[–]girafa 1 point2 points ago

Qa-pla!

[–]freegrizzlybearrides 4 points5 points ago

I agree with the JizzPoweredSteamboat. Fuck em

[–]alphabreed 0 points1 point ago

He must be from 9GAG...

[–]Mr_A 12 points13 points ago

Here is the original submission for the curious.

[–]Dorkside 36 points37 points ago

In a much more real way, the mythos now belong to Disney.

[–]Huge_Jacked_Man 17 points18 points ago

It's weird how people seem worried about the buyout when nobody could possibly fuck up the franchise the way Lucas did with Ep I.

[–]silverrabbit 9 points10 points ago

Seriously. Disney has handled the Marvel purchase pretty well, I'm sure Star Wars VII would end up better than I II and III.

[–]chronostasis_ 2 points3 points ago

Wait, Disney owns the rights to the Marvel movies now?

[–]SL61 4 points5 points ago

Disney bought Marvel a few years ago.

[–]monkeedude1212 4 points5 points ago

nobody could possibly fuck up the franchise the way Lucas did with Ep I.

I guess he fucked it up in his own special way, but if you think no one could fuck it up worse, than that's rather short sighted of you.

I always say to everyone, before you complain about the new prequel Trilogy of Star Wars, first sit down and watch The Star Wars Holiday Special.

[–]powerc9000 2 points3 points ago

I got PTSD from watching that.

[–]Agent_DZ-015 0 points1 point ago

You say that now, but...

[–]nightfan 9 points10 points ago

You didn't make this so don't bullshit us.

[–]girafa 3 points4 points ago

It's been our header for 18 hours now. I fuckin hate frauds.

/u/mehatch made this yesterday

[–]geckofishknight 0 points1 point ago

I just looked at his post history, looks like he's a repeat offender. I swear I've seen at least half of them before.

[–]Random_Fandom 1 point2 points ago

Heh, you spared me from writing my initial thought: "This is awesome, I wonder why it's been downvoted so much?"

This is reddit, someone always exposes false claims like this. Why people keep doing it is beyond me.
P.S. Thanks. :)

[–]AngryCod 15 points16 points ago

"We're putting our trust in you"? I don't think any of us had a say in the sale.

[–]indecencies 0 points1 point ago

Irrelevant. We have a say in whether or not they're successful with it.

[–]DroolingIguana 5 points6 points ago

Personally, I'm just waiting for the Indiana Jones/Captain America crossover.

[–]kosure 0 points1 point ago

Thankfully Indy wasn't included in the deal.

edit: Okay, I've done a little more research. It seems the Indy IP was included in the deal but Paramount still has the rights to produce films (for an iamount of time or number of films I can't ascertain) S.orry for the misinformation.

[–]NanoGeek 5 points6 points ago

Actually it was.

[–]rrrq9 2 points3 points ago

They own it, but if they want to use it they have to pay Paramount exit fees.

[–]DroolingIguana 0 points1 point ago

Who owns Indiana Jones, then? Amblin?

[–]minnick27 0 points1 point ago

He was. It's been mentioned in the press release

[–]stopthepuns 0 points1 point ago

They need to leave Indy out of this. That Crystal Skull shit was painful.

[–]professorfox 11 points12 points ago

Well they so far have not messed up Marvel. I'm willing to give them a chance. And that chance is Battlefront 3. Give now plz.

[–]Luminair 0 points1 point ago

Disney stated in their shareholder call that they have no interest in console Star Wars titles, only social/mobile.

[–]professorfox 1 point2 points ago

Dammit. When will I receive my wish?

[–]Luminair 0 points1 point ago

I would say it's only a matter of time. They'll definitely explore AAA licensing opportunities when Ep VII releases!

[–]IameAuhSomme 3 points4 points ago

THIS IS A GODDAMN REPOST, AND YOU'RE CLAIMING YOU MADE IT. WHAT THE FUCK.

[–]JustHereToDerp 3 points4 points ago

Yes, that's how the Internet works.

[–]home_star_tokerr 1 point2 points ago

Does not make it any less douchy.

[–]honzohh 0 points1 point ago

great photoshop, sir! I too am excited for what this will bring!!

[–]Ol1BoT 2 points3 points ago

Fuck me.

You know what? Disney buying Lucas Film is probably the best thing that could of happened to the star wars franchise.

GL really fucked up, now he's out of the picture I can't think of a better studio/company to pick it up.

So fuck people who think Disney is a joke.

[–]deprivedchild 2 points3 points ago

Fuck you.

[–]geckofishknight 1 point2 points ago

Most of this guy's submissions look likely to have been stolen. For shame.

[–]YonderingInfinity 1 point2 points ago

Mickey Moons

[–]AnonyMouse32 0 points1 point ago

Grow up. It's just a movie.

[–]wrap_stallion_mang -5 points-4 points ago

Something tells me the new Star Wars movies will be worse than the Holocaust.
