Apparently Fox wants to divert more of it's resources to sports reporting (possibly on network TV, which would be blatant undercutting on ESPN), and its news department (Wwhhhhyyyyyy).

Fox owned the Star Wars movie before Disney did. I think out of all of them, in some way, they still own some aspect of A New Hope.

from what I've seen in the last couple hours, they still have the rights to the original cut of 4, and possibly 5 and 6 as well.

No they absolutely wouldn't. Their handling of Star Wars episode 7 and 8, pirates, lone ranger, John Carter, etc should tell you everything you need to know about how bad they'd fuck it up.

MCU is literally their only good live action shit at this point. They've ruined everything else.

Fox only has the distribution rights, not the rights to the movie itself. And it was a part of the original contract drawn up by Fox and Lucas that they would keep the rights forever or until they sold them.

This is why they release the special editions on Blu-Ray but not the original theatrical versions, because it would require a revenue sharing contract with Fox and that would get messy.

Episode 7 made tons of money but the movie is a rancid pile of dogshit. Like, Transformers movies print money but they're fucking terrible. Please stop using the money made = quality argument. The fucking most profitable games ever made are shit like Game of War and Granblue Fantasy.

Episode 8 is so bad even Mark Hamill thinks it's terrible.

Yes, I know money doesn't equal quality, but the quality itself is purely subjective . Me (and many others) really enjoyed Episode 7. I consider it my favorite Star Wars at the moment.
What isn't subjective is the new series being a massive success for Disney so far. You can talk about how much they ruined it as much as you want because you, yourself, hate it. But the film franchise is on the chart again thanks to Disney.

When did episode 8 release? And 7 was still great, though obviously very similar to episode 4. And rogue 1 was great.

So basically don't involve Johnny Depp and it's all good.

I don't want it to be on the chart if it's going to be a piece of shit.

Like, I love Metroid, but that doesn't mean I'd want Metroid Prime Federation Force to be hugely successful just to "get Metroid as a series back on the chart" because that fucking game is garbage. And I'm sure somewhere out there is a guy who loves that game but his opinion is bad.

Then they gave the video game license over to EA only to re-cancel 1313 and shove lootboxes everywhere in Battlefront.

The more I think about Suicide Squad the more I don't like it. But it's still better than the pieces of shit known as Episode 7 TFA, and Iron Man 3.

Episode 8 hasn't released, just Mark Hamill has made some statements generally telling us as politically correct as possible that the movie sucks.

Although you're right about the Johnny Depp part.

This is not because of the Marvel movies. 20th century is a miniscule part of Fox Entertainment. This is an attempt by a media giant to absorb their competition.

21st Century is not just movies, Fox News and FX. There's so much more to it.

Like 30% of Hulu is theirs, which would then belong to Disney, making Disnsy's share 60% compared to Comcast's 30%.

Except all mark said is he didn't like the direction that they took Luke in. And he's since recanted those remarks and has never said anything about the movie as a whole.

Mark Hamil
I was quoted as saying to Rian that I fundamentally disagree with everything you decided about Luke, and it was inartfully phrased. What I was, was surprised at how he saw Luke. And it took me a while to get around to his way of thinking, but once I was there it was a thrilling experience. I hope it will be for the audience too.


Go into the moving wanting to hate it, and you will hate it. Why live your life hating a movie that's not even out?

There are also a bunch of international assets that Disney has no equivalent competition for.

But according to Bloomberg the talks are dead anyway. Anonymous source. Take with tiniest grain of salt although I'd be more likely to believe the talks never happened in the first place.

That actually isn't all he said but it does look as though he's changed his mind recently.

This recanting of his earlier statements is pretty much a "this weekend" story that I just didn't get to yet.

But I disagree with the assessment that I am going in "wanting to hate it"

I went in wanting to love episode 7 because of an actual first live action female jedi (an actual protagonist and not some minor shit on the council or an extra even worse at being a jedi than a stormtrooper's aim) and the return of all the legacy characters but the whole movie was crap on a level of worse than some of the worst books.

Like, people generally point to the Sun Crusher as the worst excess in novel awfulness but they somehow managed to top even that with the Starkiller.

And furthermore some movies I had very negative preconceptions of I ended up really enjoying because they're genuinely good. I thought Ant-Man was going to be awful, for example, but it's one of the better movies in the MCU.
