The Walt Disney Company has been constantly expanding since its founding in 1923, and thanks to a recent acquisition of Lucas Film Ltd from George Lucas, future prospects for Disney look very good. Disney now plans on releasing a new trilogy of Star Wars films that will be produced every three to four years starting with “Episode 7” December 2015. These movies will likely spark a new flame in the interests and demands for Star Wars related products, which is already a very large market. Additionally, a new set Star Wars-themed lands are coming to both Disneyland and Disneyworld Parks in the US, and will sprawl out across an enormous 14 acres. The new lands will feature many new attractions that are predicted to give a massive boost to the rate

    Marketing Plan Outline General Marketing Strategy “To global audiences, Lucasfilm’s ability to develop franchises and tell new, compelling stories based on prior work is more consistent than Disney’s Big Six competitors or foreign studios.” Drawing from the decline of industry tentpoles such as the Transformers and Pirates franchises, we recommend that Lucasfilm continues to pursue its strategy of expanding its product’s universes - to tell new stories without replacing the things fans recognize and love.
