No doubt you’re referring to the recent news that Disney is going to buy LucasFilms for some uncountable umptybillion rasbukniks, and that Disney is talking of re-booting the Star Wars franchise.

Jar-Jar origin trilogy? Exactly the sort of thing Disney would do with it. Remember, these are the same guys who brought us [Little Brave Sambo](http://www.amazon.com/Little-Brave-Sambo-Helen-Bannerman/dp/B000RC2KD6).

(ETA: At least, I _think_ that was Disney.)

I clicked on that link and discovered that even by 1971 political correctness must have been taking over. The kid on the cover of that book was white.

Would it make a difference if I told you he was in Oliver’s Army?
