Disney's D23 Gives Star Wars Fans a New Hope

Since buying Lucasfilm in 2012, Walt Disney (NYSE: DIS) has not only restored the luster of the Star Wars franchise, but it has also grown the fan base.

The company has released two well-received films in the series. One, The Force Awakens, advanced the story lines from George Lucas' first six films. The other, Rogue One, was a standalone movie that told a story related to the original Star Wars using mostly new characters.

In addition to those two movies and the many more that are planned, the company has begun building Star Wars lands at its Florida and California theme parks. The biggest additions in the history of Disney World and Disneyland, the new lands have been mostly shrouded in secrecy.
