I started with a “why must Disney own all of the things?” general frustration at massive conglomerates. Then when I heard they wanted to make more SW movies I hit “oh dear god, someone please make George Lucas put those movies DOWN”. And since I’ve realised Lucas is going to be a lot less involved now…. Yeah. We’ll see.

To the point that they did Cars 2 solely because they knew they could sell more toy cars.

Also, I don’t really think Disney per se knows how to tells stories any longer — but they know who does, and have been buying them. Thus, Pixar and Marvel.
