Movie nerds went nuts on Twitter upon hearing the news Tuesday that Disney was buying Lucasfilm for $4.05 billion. Many were psyched about the prospect of three new “Star Wars” movies, starting with the tentatively titled “Episode 7” in 2015, while others were worried that the Disney empire would ruin the Evil Empire.

Star.
— Finding Greedo.
