Film Threat's Chris Gore - who is very plugged in and not a gossip hound - has sources from "a friend in the industry" telling him that they have been putting out feelers for the last seven months.

They made their money back, netted some profit.

Just do not let it be Amazon. Apple might do it justice.

Only potential buyers with enough money are Apple, Amazon, or Netflix. Not sure they'd be better.

I'll give them $50 for it and even let them keep everything made since 1983.

idk, the park investment seems massive to turn around and sell it and basically there aren’t exactly a lot of movie studios making tons of money.

so amazing or netflix is the only market.’I dont see this actually happening

Star Wars is the gift that keeps giving for youtube grifters

the grift that keeps giving.

Why do adult Star Wars fans act like high school girls?

George Lucas should offer to buy it back for pennies on the dollar.

Basically this. Anybody short of Elon Musk who can actually afford to buy it is not gonna do it justice.

Alan did a great series (The D Files) on the inner workings of Disney, so it's not like they're passing stuff off with zero sources.

And Chris has been in Hollywood for 30 odd years.

The 'parts' of Disney sounds more reasonable, but even so, they can't find a buyer after 7 months? Details are needed.

Elon has joked about buying Disney to fix their woke agenda I wonder if he'd entertain this idea for Lucasfilm instead.

Not saying they are selling, but if they netted some profit they wouldn’t be selling it.

Just SW, or Lucasfilm (because that's been rumored for at least a year)?

It would be valuable in the right hands and without Kennedy.

Can we not use YouTubers as sources?

As usual you have no idea what you’re talking about. Gore is not like the “YouTubers” you pretend to know but don’t. Gore is an insider who always takes a much more sympathetic approach to movies and TV than the people you think you know.
