Disney Buys Lucasfilm for $4 Billion
 
http://www.businessinsider.com/disne...illion-2012-10

The copy was fairly straight-forward until I got to the third paragraph:
Quote:

Disney announced today it will buy Lucasfilm for $4 billion in cash and stock.

George Lucas, the creator of the Star Wars franchise and CEO of Lucasfilm, owns 100% of the company.

Even better: A new Star Wars movie, Episode VII, will debut in 2015. More Star Wars feature films are planned after that.

"The agreement has been approved by the sole shareholder of Lucasfilm."

Lookout for more Disneyland Updates! Tomorrowland is now Tatooine-land! Tarzan's Treehouse is now an Ewok House!

More Star Wars films? Really?!

Where's :iSm: ;)

Also, was this the result of Lucas' problems getting the new studio ranch built in Marin County?

In any case, he's laughing all the way to the bank, literally.

Ok so where does 7 fit then? After 6 which is really three or after three which is really 6?

On the plus side, if anyone knows how to make a movie about trade wars and bureaucratic drama it's Disney.

Didn't Lucas long ago (before episodes 1, 2, and 3) say that there were nine episodes outlined in the whole Star Wars series? If so, would they be using his drafts for 7, 8, and 9?

So wait, that means Lucas isn't doing 7 but Disney is? Does that mean they have to hire Lucas and he gets another big paycheck from them?
