10 years ago, the entire landscape of the Star Wars franchise was changed forever after Disney purchased Lucasfilm for $4.05 billion, with approximately half in cash and half in shares of Disney stock. The day also marked the official announcement that the House of Mouse is working on the next chapter of the storied Skywalker saga, beginning with The Force Awakens.
To be fair, things started off on a promising note with Episode VII and Rogue One: A Star Wars Story receiving rave reviews from fans and critics alike. Unfortunately, the franchise wasn't able to maintain its momentum with the last two installments in the Skywalker saga becoming the subject of debate and ridicule.
On Twitter, fans celebrated the monumental acquisition and while we can all agree that not everything Disney put out over the last couple of years has been perfect, Star Wars diehards are choosing to focus on the positives more than anything. How about you? What's your favorite moment from the Disney era so far? Check out some of the tweets below:

Thankfully, despite the failure of the sequel trilogy, Star Wars was able to win fans over with shows like The Mandalorian and Obi-Wan Kenobi. I guess it all goes down to great leadership and there's no doubt that guys like Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni have proven their worth.
Meanwhile, the franchise's latest offerings Andor and Tales of the Jedi are streaming exclusively on Disney+.
