disney acquired the star wars franchise a few years ago and it is quite interesting because we were talkinghe battle for streaming. star wa rs about the battle for streaming. star wars will play a major role in that. when disney launches its streaming service in 2019 to go head—to—head with amazon and netflix, star wars will play a major role because they are planning a live action show like the big budget shows from netflix such as house of cards. speaking of merchandising, did you ever owned one of those figurines?” merchandising, did you ever owned one of those figurines? i did. i had a couple of storm troopers. is that why you are not scared of them? i had princess leia. i must admit. thank you so much, tim. in other news making headlines, america's communications regulator has voted to end net neutrality. that is the principle that internet service providers must treat all internet traffic the same. the rule was introduced by president 0bama two yea rs introduced by president 0bama two years ago and they are saying that innovation will now be increased. speaking of the internet, accord

are you a star wars fan? to a degree. i've seen some of them. really, really is, so it is on the list. this picks up almost immediately where force awa kens left off. rey arrives at the island where luke skywalker now lurks, and she is looking for her true self. the thing with any star wars film is that there is a balancing act. light and the shade, between the action and the introspection and also between satisfying the fans and the first timers. i think that rianjohnson who is helming this, who's come from films like looper, has done a fantasticjob. you get all the stuff that you want from a star wars film, the sabre battles, the deep space explosions, the dogfights, but you also get an awful lot of internal character development. what i liked most about this is that it has a number of disparate narrative strands, as they all do, but each character arc is followed through properly. it is a film in which characters do what that character would do. it's a film in which action is character, characters are defined not by what they say but by their

"star wars" is partnering with gap, kohl's, macy's, gap and others. >> "star wars" appeals to so many different age and gender demographics, to both male and female. it will appeal to 3 and 4-year-olds, especially with a new character like the porg. you have 60-year-old collectors. you have a wide age demographic which really doesn't exist on both brands. >> reporter: you'll see unexpected products including dole pineapple. dole is licensing characterso put on its products and for a game on its dole. all of these products aren't just generating revenue for disney. they're arguably also marketing the film. for "nightly business repor" julia boorstin in los angeles. >>> that does it for "nightly business" m sue herera. thanks for joining us. >> i'm tyler mathisen. thanks from me as well. have a great evening, everybody, . >> this is "bbc world news america." funding of this presentation is made possible by the freeman foundation, and kovler foundation, pursuing solutions for america's neglected needs. >> planning a vacation escape that is relaxing, inviting, and exciting is a lot easier

how will the lastjedi boost the star wars economy?ous shopping district. well, behind me is the next wing fighter. it's been a fixture of star wars since the very first movie. it's part of a big installation here on orchard road, which is singapore's prime shopping district. and it really does give you a sense of the reach — culturally and business—wise — of the star wars franchise. after all, it's a week and a half out from christmas and we don't hear any christmas carols here, it's star wars music. why have you stolen christmas? well, the new star wars film is expected to take in something like $400 million at the box office on the first weekend alone. now, that would make any studio happy. but when it comes to business, that's just the tip of the iceberg. star wars content is expected to feature heavily in disney's new streaming service, which is expected to go online in 2019 and go toe to toe with the existing big players, netflix and amazon prime. and in addition to that, there's always the merchandising, which has always been a
