So is a Disney Star Wars theme park inevitable now, or what?

Disney Star Wars

Okay, you got me. This was all just an elab­o­rate excuse to (poorly) Pho­to­shop Mickey hats on Luke and Yoda.

I’m sure you’ve heard The Big Nerd News by now, so I won’t bother wast­ing your time with my own mus­ings about Disney’s acqui­si­tion of Star Wars and what it will mean for the future of the fran­chise, how exist­ing prop­er­ties will be han­dled, and other nerdy things Star Wars nerds have been nerd­ing on about for the past 3 days. As you might imag­ine, The League has A LOT OF FEELINGS about it. You can read some of their reac­tions here , here , here , here , and I also strongly rec­om­mend lis­ten­ing to this pod­cast  for an appro­pri­ate gut-check of how you should feel about it. Bot­tom line is that Dis­ney can’t pos­si­bly fuck up Star Wars any more than George Lucas already has. So I say bring it on, and I’m ready to crown Leia as the next Dis­ney Princess.

My ques­tion is this: does this mean we will get a Star Wars-themed Dis­ney attrac­tion in the vein of Universal’s The Wiz­ard­ing World of Harry Pot­ter  or even its own park? Will there be R2D2 spin­ning teacups? I can’t be the only one who thinks Space­ship Earth is only a cir­cu­lar dent away from being the Death Star. The very idea of a Star Wars theme park prints money.

The first tentative steps into madness.

Day 1 of the Count­down to Hal­loween is already behind us! Here’s a bunch of Hal­loween stuff that caught my eye around The League yes­ter­day, in no par­tic­u­lar order:

5 Things I Care About More than iPhone 5 Today

Apple is hold­ing a press con­fer­ence to unveil the new iPhone today, which means it’s a slow news day for every­one else who doesn’t give a shit.

Here are five things that are not iPhone 5 that I’m choos­ing to give my full, undi­vided atten­tion to:

#1 — The Release of ‘Dou­ble Dragon Neon’

Double Dragon Neon

Just released yes­ter­day, this newest Dou­ble Dragon game is the 1980’s-themed old school beat’em up I’ve been antic­i­pat­ing all sum­mer.  To pump myself up, I’ve been lis­ten­ing to the totally bitchin’ sound­track all day. As soon as I get home from work tonight I’ll be kick­ing ass and high-fiving anyone/anything that can be high-fived.

#2 — The Brand New ‘Wreck-It Ralph’ Trailer

#3 — The 25 Great­est Moments in TMNT History

25 Greatest Moments in TMNT History

Mark from TMNT Entity  recently posted a really fan­tas­tic two-part count­down of the “25 Great­est Moments in TMNT His­tory” over at Adven­tures in Poor Taste, com­plete with lots of images, quotes, anec­dotes, and Mark’s own per­sonal fan reac­tions. It’s quite lengthy but well worth the read. If you’re a Teenage Mutant Ninja Tur­tles fan or some­one who’s not as famil­iar with all the var­i­ous TMNT uni­verses and want to learn more, it’s a must-read. Here’s Part 1 and Part 2 .

#4 — This couch.

I want to say this is glo­ri­ous, but glo­ri­ous isn’t a strong enough word.

#5 — The World Trade Cen­ter in Movies

The World Trade Center in the opening shot of 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles'

This won­der­ful site is a data­base of every movie the iconic twin tow­ers of the World Trade Cen­ter appears in, orga­nized by decade. For every movie listed, the site tells you where in the movie the WTC appears, and click­ing the links will show you a screen­shot. For exam­ple, the image above (if you haven’t rec­og­nized it already) is from the open­ing shot of the orig­i­nal Teenage Mutant Ninja Tur­tles movie from 1990.

How about you? Are you foam­ing at the mouth for every new tid­bit of Apple-related news today…or not?

Hey, remem­ber that amaz­ing  Teenage Mutant Ninja Tur­tles doc­u­men­tary project I told you about back in March? Well it’s get­ting closer and closer to, you know, actu­ally hap­pen­ing. But it can’t hap­pen with­out your help.
