Bad Timing/Good Timing

[danalwyn]

One wonders whether the announcement of Star Wars 7 in the middle of a disaster that's knocked a good portion of the United States flat is good timing on behalf of the marketing crowd, or an unholy coincidence.

Hope all of you easterners are staying safe today, and that you manage to stay that way.

I saw the announcement about Disney buying Lucasfilm on BoingBoing earlier, and was amused by the mingled reactions of "NOOOO!" and "Meh. Can they screw it up any worse than Lucas himself?".

I'm hoping very much that everyone in the path of the storm is just as well and safe as possible.

I just think the timing is really interesting - like "Hey, let's do this while nobody is watching".

Death toll appears (relatively) low, so I'm hoping.
