| - ORLANDO, FL - In a bold move, The Walt Disney Company, the corporation that brought life to such historic characters as José Carioca and Hannah Montana, has bought rights to the Star Wars series of films and other merchandise. The announcement came just days after Disney had announced their take-over of Marvel Entertainment, a highly successful company made famous by Tobey Maguire. In a press conference, Robert Iger, president and CEO of Disney had this to say: The announcement was met with great opposition from Star Wars fans, while sites like Darthipedia have embraced the buy-out with open arms. An estimated 80% of Darthipedia's articles will now cover previously non-canonical subjects, ranging from Bert and Ernie to Piglet. When asked if the site would continue making Disney-related articles, administrator "StarNinja99" commented: Also a major supporter of the buy-out is none-other than Star Wars creator, George Lucas. "This was Yipee! international." ―James Earl Jones
