Why Club Penguin Won’t Be Having a Star Wars Party (at least any time soon)
Disney just bought Star Wars. What do you think that means?? :)
— Lane Merrifield (@lanemerrifield) October 31, 2012
As you may or may not have already heard, on October 30th it was announced that Disney purchased Lucasfilm, the movie studio owned by George Lucas, who created the whole Star Wars franchise. That same day Lane Merrifield, known as Billybob inside the game of Club Penguin, tweeted “Disney just bought Star Wars. What do you think that means?? :)” and instantly many penguins left and right are assuming that a Star Wars party is coming. Keep in mind that Billybob isn’t the main guy at Club Penguin anymore, he is just lingering until February 2013 to make sure everything runs smoothly now that Chris Heatherly has taken over his position.
While I could easily be wrong, I’m looking at the overall picture of the scenario and it doesn’t seem likely for now that a Star Wars Party on Club Penguin is on the way. The deal just happened the other day so everything still needs to be sorted out. Disney has to deal with merchandise licensing, contracts, and everything now instead of Lucasfilm. Acquisitions are a slow thing, especially if it’s a big multi billion dollar one like this – I don’t know all the specifics but wouldn’t Lucasfilm employees have to move to Disney’s building? Basically what I am trying to say is that if a Star Wars party were to happen on Club Penguin, it’s far away – there are other far more important things Disney and the Lucasfilm employees have to attend to relating to the acquisition first.
We also had the Marvel Super Hero Takeover back in June of this year, as Disney owns Marvel. Sure, the party came out a month or so after The Avengers movie did, but not all the characters in Club Penguin based on Marvel were from that movie. Disney purchased Marvel back in December 2009 – and no, we didn’t have anything Marvel related then. If you look at it overall with everything in mind, yes, a Star Wars Party on Club Penguin for the time being is just a fictional thought. And if I’m wrong about all of this, you can rub it in my face that you were right and I was wrong.
Oh, and what about an Indiana Jones party? Lucasfilm owns that, yet nobody said there is an Indiana Jones party coming soon. :P
Well explained Trainman.
Indiana Jones? LOL!
ya indiana jones wod bi so cool
Well,
The stage play “Quest for the golden puffle” Was really was just Indiana Jones In Club Penguin
I said Indiana Jones for the Adventure Party!!
Well said.
He didn’t even say that it was coming, and Lance and Lane were easily joking about having light sabers.
waitin 4 operation blackout :)
@aWeirdoOverHere
There is a new blog post: New Clothes Shop and Pizza Parlour are here!
It’s actually this blog post – http://clubpenguinmemories.com/2012/10/club-penguin-blog-new-pizza-parlour-and-clothes-shop-coming-soon/ but they reposted it with a new title.
Silly me :P
Well, Disney bought Marvel in 2009 and we got a Marvel party in CP on 2012. Make that 3 years for the franchise to land on the game. So you MIGHT expect a Star Wars party in 2015… especially since 2015 IS the year of the new Star Wars movie!
Though I’m skeptical about the franchise on Club Penguin. I’d be surprised if light-sabers would be accepted in the games.
*hits Yellow Crown with lightsaber on CP*
*MOD MESSAGE COMES UP* You have been banned for using a lightsaber.
Lol. I did threaten I would knock this guy in my classes penguin head off with a Captain America shield, but, I never bought it :P
We also used swords in the medieval party.
It wan’t necessarily a sword for attacking, more like a glorified blade.
Lance Replyed to him! I told you about this in the Google thing by comment! Why didn’t you read my comment? Ps: you might have got this by Happyblue128.
Lane told us that 1 week ago.
Lance said It means we can tip the iceberg.
Haha, an Indiana Jones party would be weird!
You should have said this
“Basically what I am trying to say is that if a Star Wars party were to happen on Club Penguin, it’s in Galazy far far away…”
LOL
Haha!
Indiana jones and the golden puffle!!
Well, I’m not even a fan of Star Wars…
If there’s an indiana Jones party…looks like there maybe alot of Indiana versus Alaska from Golden Puffle going on, lol.
I really hate sponsored parties. :|
We had one for Halloween Party 2012 adventure party 2012 Music jam 2012 superhero takeover 2012 we are having Phineas and Ferb party 2013
HALLOWEEN?! I don’t remember any in Halloween Party. The haunted mansion was just used to draw the places. CP didn’t say “Come to the haunted masion ride!”
You like Indiana Jones,I do.P.S. Harrison Ford would be pleased with that*wary*
Indiana jones or star wars would both be cool:)
i dont like star wars
ps im a girl
A Star Wars party would be neat. But your right Train, we can’t expect “Oh yea! Let’s have a Star Wars party in 2013 since we just brought Lucasfilm!” That’s not how it rolls.
Sure, the party come out a month or so after The Avengers movie did. Should be sure the part came out a month or so after The Avengers movie did.
My wordFixed
Hmmmmmm throw lightsaber at Trainman Mod says: you have been banned forever for killing for the awesomeness Trainman
Oops LOL
Hm… It’s been “Star-Warsy” in the media lately. First Angry Birds Star Wars and then this. What else?
And what about angry birds star wars?
I mean, Star Wars is not that popular anymore. Could it be going up the charts again?
