    Pretty sure it’s less that they have the IP for Star Wars and more that they have the IP for a bunch of extremely popular children’s movies and so on. Also stuff like Disneyland.

        Think it does make a difference since the Lucasfilm acquisition was only like a decade ago, and frankly Disney’s handling of Star Wars has been controversial at best. It’s just a bad example.

        It’s IMO pretty obvious why people give Disney a pass. They’ve spent a great amount of effort cultivating a certain image and basically feeding it to kids growing up through many different sources (movies, TV shows, theme parks, random shit like balloons in parades, etc.).

          I disagree that it really makes a difference but if you feel the need to list more examples then have at it
