MM rose too fast and too successfully, to the point where everyone in the industry was jealous.

Mark has a golden finger, God vision, even so, he himself feels awesome, whether it is Lei Shidong's thirty years of Franco-Prussian War, Mei Duo's global expansion, it took almost thirty years, MM only took five years.

Five years of hegemony, unprecedented in the past, this prescient advantage coupled with the power of capital, made them invincible, until the beginning of 2009, the acquisition of Lucasfilm and Industrial Light & Magic.

When MM announced that it would buy Lucasfilm, founded by famous Hollywood director George Lucas, for a total of $4.05 billion in cash and stock, the ownership also included Lucasfilm's flagship product "Star Wars" series of films. This is another strategic decision by MM to expand its sphere of influence after the acquisition of Pixar.

After the completion of this acquisition, MM announced its intention to start filming the seventh live-action film of "Star Wars", the first of which is expected to be released in 2012, according to MM's concept, it is possible to launch "Star Wars 8" and "Star Wars 9" in the next 10 years.

In addition to the Star Wars franchise, MM's deal to acquire Lucas Films will also include the franchise of the Raiders of the Lost Ark series, although MM did not specify whether it has any plans for the brand when it announced the deal, and MM said that it will not make any changes to Lucasfilm's special effects company, Industrial Light & Magic.

After the acquisition, Steven Spielberg's production partner Catherine Kennedy will become chairman of Lucasfilm and a co-director of MM, directly under the instructions of the MM Four, George Lucas will remain in Star Wars as a "creative consultant", and Katherine Kennedy will be executive producer.

Prior to this, George Lucas had already expressed his desire to leave Lucasfilm and start making some of the "experimental films" he had conceived, so the sale of the company was not a surprise.

George Lucas is also confident that Lucasfilm will be able to integrate into the MM family under the leadership of the new owner and Catherine, providing new opportunities for Lucasfilm in film, television, interactive media, theme parks, live entertainment, consumer products, etc." ”

This caused a huge sensation in the entertainment industry, MM completed another strategic level of merger, the company that rose in the underground garage of Bedwoolen, always able to grow itself through rapid mergers and acquisitions, buying McConaughey Films, letting them move out of the garage, merging the distribution department of United Arts, giving them their own distribution capabilities, and participating in the distribution of "Saw Horror" and "The Hangover" benefited them a lot.

And the first time they came into the public eye was the acquisition of Marvel, which swallowed Columbia and MGM Pictures in one fell swoop to make them famous all over the world, and the industry realized that these young people are not just playing, and believe that in ten years, they will become one of the giants.

It is recognized in the industry that they must go through ten years of incubation and digestion, during which they bought Pingguo shares and forcibly bought Naifei (billion level), just a small fight.

Who knew that in the second year, they launched a new acquisition war, successively acquiring C TV Network and Paramount TV Network, which allowed them to have their own TV network, and as Gu Ge and Pingguo's stock soared, MM acquired AMC Cinemas again and built its own global TV network plan.

They have metamorphosed into dragons under the noses of many competitors, and they are so powerful that their opponents can only look up to them.

This is MM, the legend of the new era, to today's acquisition of Lucasfilm, their business spans every link of the entertainment industry, no one can impose any restrictions and coercion on them, they are in a league of their own.

In the modern society of this planet, even if you haven't used their products, you must have heard their names.

Today's press conference, the legendary MM Big Three appeared under the escort of five hundred interstellar stormtroopers, which caused a huge sensation, and fans screamed and took pictures.

The Interstellar Stormtrooper, also known as the White Soldier and the Imperial Stormtrooper, is the elite assault force of the Galactic Empire in "Star Wars", which belongs to the Imperial Army, and the Imperial Stormtrooper is only loyal to the Galactic Emperor Palpatine, and is under his direct command. Dressed in white armor and armed with black gloves, they have a cold, unforgiving impression of power.

The Imperial Stormtroopers were originally adapted from the clone army of the Galactic Republic, and the clone army was the main body of the Republic Army at the end of the Old Republic, and the parent body was the Mandalorian bounty hunter Jango Fett, led by their respective Jedi generals, and was originally ordered to fight against the trade Federation's mechanical forces, but in fact the clone army was the Sith Lord Darth Preggs and Darth Brown. Sidious took revenge on the Jedi, a crucial step in establishing the Galactic Empire, and their brains were implanted with a chip chip for the secret command 66, which, once triggered, mercilessly slaughtered their respective Jedi commanders.

However, the accelerated growth of the clone army inevitably began to age, and the combat attrition also greatly reduced its number, so the empire began to recruit natural people to join the army, but because the mother of the clone is Jango Fett, and has been trained since birth, compared to the clone army, the combat effectiveness of the Imperial stormtroopers has inevitably declined.

In 1977, George Lucas revolutionized the film industry with the first installment of the Star Wars series, showing people a brilliant and fascinating vision of the world of the future, opening a new era of science fiction blockbusters and video technology for Hollywood and the whole world.

In 1997, "Star Wars fans" and American Albin Johnson dressed up as white soldiers to watch the film in theaters, and edited it into a short film and uploaded it to the website, which resonated with many "Star Wars fans", so as to organize the dress-up, and then established a non-governmental organization called the 501 Legion.

The 501 Legion is an organization established by some fanatical "Star Wars" fans around the world, with an estimated number of more than 10,000 members, and the number of members is still increasing. South Korea and other Asian countries are growing, and members must be at least 18 years old and have a set of armor built according to standards, and actively participate in Star Wars movie culture promotion and public welfare activities, and then apply to the U.S. headquarters, and only after passing the approval can they obtain a unique number of military numbers.

They are also enthusiastic about charity and public welfare, with the slogan: "Bad people do good." ”

Attentive fans found that there were a total of fifty teams of the Imperial Stormtroopers, each team of ten people, which was five hundred and one people, and the leader was a Black Lord with terrifying armor, and there were two helicopter modified escort planes in the sky, such a scene caused thousands of fans who rushed to Skywalker Manor to participate in the event screaming.

These fans and the 501 Legion are the key to "Star Wars" sweeping the world, and when it comes to cultivating the market and fans, Lucasfilm is the master of the masters.

Under the leadership of Lord Black and to the impassioned and majestic "March of the Empire" played on the loudspeakers at the scene, the Imperial Stormtroopers entered the square, and they lined up in five squares to salute Lucas, the tyrant of the Stormy River: "The 501st Regiment of the Imperial Stormtroopers has come to report for duty and salute the great George Lucas!"

More than 500 people held up laser guns, which was not small.

Especially this black lord, tall and majestic, walking in a dragon and a tiger, and making a powerful and sharp gesture, he has the momentum of a black warrior.

Lucas smiled, held up the light creation, and said loudly: "May the power be with you!"

Five hundred people shouted in unison, "The Force is with you!"

At this time, the imposing Black Lord turned around, took off his helmet, and threw out an Imperial Stormtrooper behind him, which turned out to be the well-known great director Mark!

This resounded with earth-shattering cheers, and it turned out that the supreme leader of the 501st regiment was Mark.

In the canon of Star Wars, the Storm White Armor Soldiers, as a substitute for the Clone Troopers' armor, are still composed of PLASTOID alloy plates and close-fitting sheaths, but their mobility is much improved compared to the former. Stormtrooper armor is also capable of blocking most attacks from kinetic weapons, but is powerless against energy weapons. The new helmet adds cutting-edge equipment such as anti-virus filtration, oxygen supply tubes, night vision devices, auxiliary aiming, and automatic generation of environment and enemy location information, which can adapt to a variety of extremely harsh environments such as snow, jungle, desert, and space.

In addition, Imperial military law does not allow the Stormtroopers to remove their helmets without permission, otherwise they will be severely punished as damaging to the military, even if the huge helmet is worn without seeing anything.

The standard weapon of the Storm Troopers is the "DC-15A Blaster Gun" with a magazine capacity of up to 500 (Star Wars 2 first appeared), and the design of the tripod allows it to shoot at long ranges and close ranges, and adjust the energy output to achieve non-lethal attacks. In addition, the Clones are equipped with the "DC-15 rifle" inspired by the German "MG 34" machine gun of World War II (Star Wars 2 first appeared), and the electronic assistance system in the gun body is integrated with the helmet. The combination of enhanced physical fitness and cutting-edge military technology has made the Clones the most powerful military force in the Galactic Republic era.

At the beginning, on the surface, the Stormtroopers were our army forces serving the Republic, and they strictly obeyed the orders of the Jedi Masters, blew up bunkers on the battlefield to block the eye, and even gave birth to elite troops such as the "501 Legion".

The 501st Legion is the most combative of the Clone Soldiers, commanded by the Anakin Skywalker. After Anakin fell into the "Lord" Darth Vader, the 501st Legion became his royal unit, known as the "Fist of Vader" by the outside world.
