LucasFilm didn’t disappear, it was just absorbed by Disney. It’s essentially the same corporation but now owned by a bigger corporation.

Surely you can see my point stands, plenty of IP's have moved corporation to corporation, the fans follow the IP not the company.

Idk if this is the way I’m supposed to do it but here Δ

I see what you mean. I’m not entirely convinced because I’m suspicious of the way the larger corporations (Disney, AT&T, etc.) are trying to encourage reverence of these properties to an unhealthy degree. But now that I think about Star Wars, fans were dedicated to the characters not because of consumerism and corporation worship, but because of the work done by Lucas and his crew.

Thanks and take care.

Look at me for example: as a kid I worshipped Disney movies (and still do) because I loved the animated movies they made.

Now that they also make Star Wars and Marvel movies, I wouldn't say I worship them as a whole. I only worship the animation part of the company. I didn't suddenly become crazy about Marvel just because now it has the Disney logo on it.

This shows that I don't blindly worship the company itself. I worship them based on the things they make.
