Does this Disney TV ad speculate their plans for Star Wars re-releases?
A new Italian TV advertisement for Disney’s digital portal service is bringing once again, the rumour Star Wars re-releases up again. Is there any more reason to believe it now than there was the last time this concept cropped up?
As part of their original deal with George Lucas, Twentieth Century Fox own the distribution rights to the first Star Wars movie in perpetuity. For Disney to repackage that film, as they might be expected to want to do, there would need to be a deal made between the two studios.
Although the above advert is in Italian, here is a loose translation;
"Enter Disney’s magical world, with the brand new site disney.it. All your favourite Disney characters await you, including the most engaging TV series and plenty of exclusive videos and content.
