Discraft/Disney Star Wars franchise partnership.

[MaxFlight]

So Paul definitely left some easter eggs hinting at this, but I think most people thought it had to do with what's going in his bag (well, it does partially).

I'm just waiting for The Force discs to have Jedi stamps. Also, this definitely means a Skywalker disc has to happen (great name for a disc IMO).

Perhaps they will branch into other Disney franchises too. I mean, Buzzz Lightyear?!

A smart move from Discraft, and will definitely generate a ton of money for them and draw a new audience to the sport.

Thoughts?

Has anybody named a disc, saber? Kind of surprised Innova never tried to get a license agreement to make Star Wars themed SDs...

Gateway. Not sure if it counts though.

 

[TheOtherBill]

They were only max weight tho, no light sabres

 

[hiflyer]

Are they gonna make a Sarlacc basket?

 

[wims]

I guess McBeth is going to throw Star Destroyers in 2019 after all

 

[Shocker]

No R2-D2??

 

[brutalbrutus]

Yea that would be quality tolling...

A line of fullcolor Star destroyer Forces, lol...

I see the OP read that Ultiworld article as well.

No way Discraft does this.

Way too expensive to license.

Not a matter of "if", it is already done check the Discraft website.

This isn't speculation bud. The deal is done!

Looks like they already did.

 

[DanJon]

Ok, nevermind then.

 

[notapro]

My wife has lots of Light Sabres!

This has been in the works a long time. These kind of deals take a while to materialize and today happened to be the day it got announced. Definitely not fake!

Here is the link, discs go live tomorrow: https://www.discraft.com/starwars

She has those double sided light sabers.. no doubt. :hfive:

Anywho, I'm sure for newbies or nerdies i could see these being a decent seller. Not, sure how much you gotta pay disney though. Never been a star wars fan myself, but if you could somehow make a GoT themed run of discs I would buy them

 

[Finny]

On one of the Disc Golf Answer Man pods, a caller asked if DD would license Star Wars after having gotten Marvel. If I remember correctly, EMac basically said, "That would be awesome, and we asked, but Star Wars is MUCH more expensive. It's not possible." If that's true, this is a huge flex from Discraft. Combined with McBeth, they are going in.

If they put Jabba the Hutt on a Flick I would buy it

...and Mrs. GoobyPls has already asked Santa Claus to bring her a Chewbacca Buzzz. *sigh*
