Disney Buys Lucasfilm (and other stories)
...and, by extension, LucasArts (since that's what we all really care about, I know).
http://www.benzinga.com/news/12/10/3...cash-and-stock I know, with the likes of Star Wars and Indiana Jones being snatched up, the LA catalogue probably isn't a big priority but I wonder what this could mean for the future of some of our favorite adventure games? Could a Monkey Island theme park ride be in our future? Hmm. |

Actually yes, more or less. From Star Wars, at least.

What does this mean in regards to future availability of the new cuts of Star Wars? I hope they're not forgotten about...

Addition to this. Disney also announced Star Wars Episode VII being targeted for a 2015 release date. Yes, the same year that's giving us The Avengers 2 and Justice League.
And Vaina, I had to check my calendar several times to make sure it wasn't April 1st.

So if Disney has Lucasarts does this mean a bigger chance of S&M Hit The Road Special Edition,Curse of Monkey Island Special Edition,Escape from Monkey Island Special Edition & Tales of Monkey Island 2 or does it mean we will never see them?

Yeah my first thought after bloody hell. WTF and My God.
"Who will direct it?" "Who will score it?" "Can Intrada release the final complete versions for the scores to SW1-6 and Indy 1-4, Young Indy and so on?" Was "Will this mean the end of LucasArts licenses for Telltale. Will we never get the chance to be Sam & Max again or Guybrush" |

On the plus side, at least the movie rights to "Howard the Duck" are back where they ought to be.
