They were even setting up Tron to be their new mainline scifi ip but quickly shelved it for eternity as soon as they got a hold of Star Wars despite commissioning a new series and dozens of multimedia projects which they abruptly cancelled. They had to chance to fuck over their own scifi ip and make their own crap, but the greedy opportunistic fucks weren't satisfied. And I have no doubt that Pixar in all their creative bankruptcy will try to make a godawful Wall-E sequel that reduces the charm of the original.Disney do have their own sci fi IP's like Wall-e that did really well. Its just another form of opportunism for Disney to sit on culturally significant IP's and hold a monopoly on them to push narratives.
Hell even Crystal Star could be made into a better flick than Disney's crap. You already have a basic transcript, all you need is the right amount of editing, spice up the dialogue, a good director and mixing Waru and the eponymous star up a bit and you're basically set.Any EU book deserved a major motion picture adaptation over Disney's little tire fire. Hell, any EU comic or game. Yes, I'm including Legacy era in this because Disney made it impossible for me to say anything but Disney is the worst Star Wars. Never in a million years did I think anything but Legacy could possibly hold that title (Dark Nest and Crystal Star come close), but Disney provided us all with the ultimate redemption for every shitty comic, every weird video game mechanic, every Waru.
