I apologize. SW geek that I am I didn’t realize that Disney bought Lucasfilm. I thought Disney just bought SW. I have been schooled today.

The only apologies due are from Kennedy to us. I'm not a Star Wars geek (just a former Unix geek) - but I remember how excited I was seeing "Star Wars" in the theaters back in '77. "Empire" was even better.

"The Force Awakens" wasn't bad as a new trilogy intro - but that "Last Jedi" thing...wow.

When Disney bought Lucasfilm and Star Wars they got everything except the theatrical showing rights to the movies already made. Those rights were still retained by 20th Century Fox. Granted it wasn’t a huge market left for such theatrical rereleases but that bit still remained outside of Disney control. Ta da...Disney buys Fox Studios earlier this year for a whopping $71 billion and complete control of Star Wars is now within Disney.
