With the announcement that Disney is acquiring LucasFilm, it’s only natural that the Twitter universe blew up with response. Within minutes of the announcement, the hashtag #DisneyStarWars became a main attraction. Interestingly, some actors, writers and directors weighed in as well.
Below are some of the responses from Twitter of the blend.

Disney has bought Lucasfilm. I hope they don’t become too commercialized.

Not saying Twitter’s in a nerd frenzy about the Disney/Lucasfilm STAR WARS VII news, but I tried to post earlier & got my arm ripped off.

Even though it’s limited to Twitter, it is nice to know Sandy can be slowed by Star Wars news.

Not psyched about the Disney buy out of Star Wars… Rides, merch, sequels…. At least I have my OG VHS version of the 1977 version :)
