So I guess that means "Retained Income" goes down by ~$2 billion, Share Capital goes up by ~$2 billion and EPS goes down until, hopefully, DIS has an increase in Net Bottom Line and DIS doesn't sell any more shares.

Considering how popular the Star Wars productions were, the deal should be of benefit to DIS.
No doubt DIS will also incorporate the Star Wars theme into their parks. That should pull in extra dollars.
Maybe two things to consider ...

1) the cost of making future productions and successfully getting the crowds through the doors.
2) the next series of Star Wars will go out to a new generation, relative to those who were around for the previous ones. It will be interesting to see how the current generation(s) will receive Star Wars.
