Holy shit 4 billion dollars. :o :lol:


ILM and Skywalker Sound come as part of the deal. What's the status of Lucasarts these days?
I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

Episode VII, huh? Will Carrie Fisher be reprising her role as a sex symbol?
My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

This could actually be interesting... If Lucas goes away, do we get a brilliant restoration of the original trilogy, Disney-style, as part of the sequel launch in 2015?

Note how Lucas and R2-D2 manifest unmodified as Disney Characters.

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

I can just imagine the plot...


Lando Calrissian: Han, then I blew up the death star. It was epic. You ever blow up a death star?
Han Solo: No, I never blew up a death star. You ever do a princess?
Lando: Touché. But, what are we going to do now?
Han: Not sure, but I expect three movies of interminable council meetings, sub-par villains, failed comic relief and whining jedi's in training.
Lando: Yeah, don't know how you are going to top Darth Vader as a villain and the Death Star as a deadly threat.
Han: We can give Darth Vader a second light saber?
Lando: Darth Maul
Han: We can do the Death Star again?
Lando: we've already done that bit twice now.
Han: Sooo... more proto-incest?
Lando: Hott.
Han: So who's it gonna be?
Lando: Your kids.
Han: WTF?
Lando: Nobody else is having sex in this galaxy.
Han: Can't we just make Indiana Jones?
Lando: You do know Shia Lebouf is playing you.
Han: Times like this make me wish that Greedo had not only shot first but also hit at point blank range.

How did this pass anti-trust muster?  Disney owning the Star Wars and Indiana Jones franchises turns it into an even bigger powerhouse than it was before.
