Yep, Disney is pretty much responsible for screwing up copyright law, and extending the copyright period for a ridiculous amount of time.

If they hadn't taken the lead on that I'm sure Fox/Universal/Warner would have teamed up for a similar result, it's just that Disney's incredibly old work still makes up a huge volume of their current revenue. Kind of ironic given that the vast majority of their films are based on existing public domain works.

I'm disappointed. I thought I had an alright colouring job lined up, but they said they don't really "do" contracts.
It sounds like you dodged a bullet.

One of the biggest problems with design is that, almost by definition, laypersons literally can't tell the difference between getting "a logo" crowdsourced for $50 that sucks and getting a whole identity that will be versatile enough to work in all the situations they need it in. I think some of this has to do with a lot of designers not having a good understanding of what they need to sell when a client asks "I need a logo," and as long as designers go along with just making a logo the situation won't improve.

The hardest thing for someone working freelance to do is turn down work but sometimes it might be worth it in the long run, just try to leave it in a "no, but I've got time in three weeks" or "no, but I'd love to work with you on your next project," context.

It's going to be interesting to see how Disney responds to the cottage industry of t-shirts, art, etc. featuring stylized Star Wars stuff, Lucas always seemed pretty hands-off.
