“There are a few significant things that happen in Han
Solo’s life, like acquiring a certain vehicle and meeting a certain Wookiee
that will happen in this film. But you will also discover how he got his name.”
—Bob Iger, Disney CEO on the new Han Solo Movie
There are questions you'd probably rather never know the answers to. Since
Disney’s 2012 purchase of Lucasfilm, we have seen a push for new films, toys,
games, and other sellable items (hello Star Wars CoffeeMate Coffee Creamer).
At first, admittedly, I was incredibly excited. A chance for new Star Wars
movies? Perhaps an Indiana Jones movie if we are lucky? New video games and
clothes? Even a Star Wars Universe at Disney World?! Hell yes. However, with
this new parent company looking to make a return on their $4 billion investment, we
are seeing some things that I think could taint the Star Wars universe, just
like what has happened with the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
