Star Wars, Disney and a group of upset avians

Moneypenny and I were discussing something very dear to my heart today. Star Wars.

Sure the presidential election was sort of a big deal and all, but the most important news recently certainly had to be Disney's acquisition of Lucasfilm and the announcement of the new trilogy.

I have the same reservations as every die hard fan of the greatest of all sagas, but as time goes on, I'm beginning to see the advantages of the merger. The biggest of these is that, though I'm certain he will be involved in some way, George Lucas will not be directing our otherwise altering any more movies, clearing up the field for (fingers crossed) another movie closer to Empire Strikes Back than Phantom Menace. That alone is worth 4 billion dollars to me.

The other excellent SW news is Angry Birds: Star Wars. If you aren't already playing it, I suggest you do so immediately. They seem to have combined both the original and angry birds space into one big, beautiful package filled with classic sound effects and Sandpeople pigs. If you're one of those who is sick of angry birds and think you won't have any fun, you're lying to yourself because foolish and insecure. Search your feelings, you know it to be true.....
