    Disney stock is near an all-time high now.

    I'm not surprised they would make such a move.

    If "DISNEY" ruins Star Wars? George Lucas all ready ruined Star Wars with those 3 embarrassing stains that should not even share the same name as the original trilogy. Exhibit A: Jar Jar Binks. I rest my case.
