Hmmmm.

To have an opinion I'd need to know more about the lineage of the contracts.

Disney bought Fox and Lucasfilm, so if the contracts were with them then Disney is their legal successor and bound to their obligations unless they seek bankruptcy protection.

unless they seek bankruptcy protection.

So what you're saying is:

Find someone with bad business sense.
"Encourage" them to buy an asset you want.
Wait until they fold.
Acquire the assets but none of the liabilities.
Profit!
