    Yeah

    They had to re-awaken Star Wars but I feel like Marvel Studios would have kept going more or less the same had the company remained independent (as one of the last non-Big Media owners of top-tier entertainment franchises though, it's difficult to imagine that)

    Also I'm thinking now of how social media would have exploded over the prospect of Looney Tunes and The Flintstones under the same roof back in 1995 - when the Marvel organization and its washed-up properties were knocking on death's door, and Star Wars was old hat

    Weren't people anxiously awaiting the Star Wars prequels in 1995?

    Jaime Weinman and Peter Paltridge both say that back in the mid '90s, Star Wars was red-not

    We can do anything if we do it together.
    Yeah, I recall them saying that as well.

    I thought the revival didn’t start until the re-releases in 1997.

    “I'm surprised. Those clothes… but, aren't you…?”
    People were pretty excited for the prequels if they grew up on the originals. I mean, I was young then, but I was alive, and while I understand that disappointment with The Phantom Menace was not insignificant, it didn't really reach a crescendo until the internet riff reviewer craze.

    Touch the cow. Do it now.
    The buildup for the prequels started around 97-98, if I recall correctly.

    I remember two of my cousins anxiously taking about it: "Did you hear they started filming the new Star Wars movie? This is gonna be great!"

    I felt bad for them, later on

    People were super hyped for Episode I.  When II rolled around, we saw it for our middle school graduation and mostly just looked forward to mocking it.

    oh yeah, I forgot

    Time Warner buying Turner meant that for the first time in decades, the Warner Bros. cartoon library was all under one roof.

    and yeah, Episode I was hyped like nothing else at the time

    @Odradek did I ever tell you about how hysterically I was laughing at the Sebulba Pepsi cans?
