It’s rare in this age of social media and spoilers that news can stun the world, but that certainly happend earlier today when Disney announced to acquire Lucasfilm. And as fans of both, nothing could make us more excited about the possibilities to come. With a new Star Wars film in the works, one can only begin to imagine what’s next: more theme park attractions? A release of the ORIGINAL versions of the trilogy? More from the worlds of Indiana Jones and Willow? One can only hope!
This acquisition also includes the amazing effects and sound arm of Industrial Light and Magic and Skywalker Sound and many more.
With the Muppets, Pixar, and Marvel, The Walt Disney Company has cemented themselves as the leader in entertainment for generations to come.

The Discovery Science Center in Santa Ana, California has just opened a new exhibit called “Star Wars: Where Science Meets Imagination”. I was able to go to VIP preview last night. President of the Discovery Science Center Joe Adams talked about what it took to bring this exhibit to Orange County. “The Star Wars: Where Science Meets Imagination exhibit is a perfect fit for the Center as it blends science with excitement and imagination. With demand comes opportunity. This is the largest traveling exhibit we have ever hosted. To accommodate the entire exhibit, we had to create two new galleries from our existing space and add a tent in the parking lot. “
Starting November 18th, Just down the road from Disneyland. The Discovery Science Center in Santa Ana will be hosting the exhibit Star Wars: Where Science Meets Imagination. For all the details on this exhibit we have posted the Press Release.
