I heavily associate the Fox fanfare in my mind with the opening of Star Wars, it has been there since the film was first released and on home video. Disney better include it on future versions, even if they have to pay out a licensing fee to Fox.

If that will be the case when Disney gets the sequels fine. Just keep the Fox logo. I know Warner owns the pre-86 MGM catalog and whatever they released included the MGM logo so hopefully Disney will keep the Fox logo and fanfare.

Still, there's 8 years to go so anything can happen and hopefully the sequels will stay with Fox. Sorry to keep ranting again. But if it happens, Fox should use the time now to release the theatrical versions of the Saga on Blu-ray either for 2015 (when VII is released) or 2017 (the 40th anniversary). And even after 2020, I'll be happy to at least know one (and the best) film will still be with Fox.

UPDATE: Infact, I remember that Warner owns Cannonball Run which was originally distributed by Fox and the logo stayed for when Warner released the DVD. So if that can happen, maybe Disney can keep the Fox logo for I-III and V and VI.

As for distribution for VII-IX, I think Disney's division Touchstone is a good candidate rather than them being released under Disney's banner.

Fox CAN'T release the films without the permission of LucasFilm...they're JUST a DISTRIBUTOR. Lordy Mercy.

You know, the more you guys gripe about Disney distributing, the more I'm going to hope Disney makes a new logo for Star Wars with Jar Jar bouncing in sugar pink clouds while wearing Mouse Ears, flying cotton candy balloons, eating a churro and drinking a Dole-Whip from the Tiki Room.

I would be very shocked if Disney didn't come up with something that brought SW to their feet. They aren't going to use "When You Wish Upon a Star", or Cinderella's castle...if anything, their distributor card will be something unique and imaginative that sets the mood.

I would agree with this. Maybe some new Disney/Lucasfilm combination logo, with a new opening.

Could be something as simple as a single star in the night sky, a recurring motif in several Disney films. LucasFilm is the production company, so they'll have their own title card.

Maybe they will just have the LucasFilm logo and have text under it saying "A Walt Disney Company" or something like that.

Not too worried about logos.

Has anyone really asked why Lucas sold his entire empire to Disney?

I wonder about this, because it was a cash cow and worth at least 30 billion. So for Lucas to sell everything for only 4 billion seems highly suspect. Then he donates most of it to charity. Another odd thing for a really rich guy to do.

I can only think of 2 reasons he would be doing this:

(1) He had an early visit from the ghosts of Christmas past, present and future.

or

(2) He is dying.

This sounds to me like a #2.

The thought occurred to me, as well. Selling the company to Disney allows it to live on, keeps the family from fighting over it after his death. It's estate planning, essentially, exactly like someone getting their affairs in order before they die.

Exactly. He may not be dying tomorrow, but maybe he was diagnosed with something serious, which is forcing him to retire and think more seriously about his death.

I am really happy he has decided to pass on the torch to the best company to keep Star Wars alive and well for future generations. Also, more credit to him for giving the money away.

Wasn't until I read a few posts in this thread that I realized how weird it will be to watch a Star Wars movie that doesn't start with the 20th Century Fox opening.

Or Maybe they will cut a deal with Fox to leave everything as is you never know. Disney isnt stupid when it comes to distribution and product they know you have to spend money to make money. They will already make a ton off toys and theme park attractions as well as sales, so if they take a small hit on keeping things as the status quo with fox logos, fanfare and all its a small price to pay for the good of the product.

IE Disney Logo
then Lucasfilm logo
Then Fox Logo/Fanfare
Star Wars Crawl

Guys just relax and see what Disney does, your not going to spend 4.5 billion dollars to tank the product or the royalties they got from this.

You're mistaken sir. Star Trek Insurrection & Nemesis, DS9 & Voyager did that all by themselves.

If anything he brought the franchise back into the black and opened it up to a much wider audience. Which is a commendable feat.

I would take his comments with a grain of salt. One minute he is actually saying he would love the opportunity to direct Star Wars movies, now he is saying he isn't interested. Sounds suspicious. Like they already choose another director and now he is bitter.

Or to advertise for a competing company once you fully own something.

Again, save for ep IV, do not expect to see the Fox fanfare after 2020 on the Star Wars OT and PT.

As for the -new- Star Wars episodes, if you think you are going to see the Fox logo at the beginning, you are simply delusional (unless Fox managed to implement something in the distribution contract, but given that Lucasfilm owned 100% of the rights (besides IV), I don't see how.
