We all already know that Disney holds some of the rights to Lucas Film movies and characters. This is apparent if you go to Disneyland. Star Tours and The Indiana Jones Adventure are two of the biggest rides in the park.
Another thing we know for sure is that we've collectively pissed George Lucas off so badly, that he doesn't want to make any more films ever. He knows he can't please us and he knows we don't want him to change our favorite movies anymore than he already has.
Disney is BUYING Lucas Film! For $4.05 billion, George Lucas is handing over the rights to all of his franchises, his production companies and everything that goes along with it. George has washed his hands clean of the whole thing and is going to live out his days rolling in his piles of money and thumbing his nose at all the nerdlet's whining and complaining.
The clincher? We're getting another Star Wars movie. Currently it's just called "Episode 7." This is a Disney produced film. I'm really scared but also somewhat excited. This could be the beginning of something either great or terrible. I'm just glad George has the foresight to sell off his assets while the getting's good.
