George Lucas - WOW ; the rich get richer

[holdem]

I want him to send me some of that money because he must have taken it from someone else and there's not much of it to go around for everyone, unless they print some more.

He is to stay on as creative consultant.....Star Wars Episode 7 is to be released in 2015 with 8 & 9 to follow 2-3 years apart

When George originally wrote Star Wars he always planned on 9 episodes to tell the complete story

After the abortion of the latest trilogy (I grew up on the original trilogy), he really needs to stop.

Those last three movies are the epitome of a swirling vortex of suck.

Dude just sold LucasFilms to Disney for $4 BILLION in cash

How do you spend $4 B ? absolutely crazy stupid money

Electra glide, Goldwing and travel..

Yeh... thats believable because most stories are told by starting in the middle of the book...

I read it on the internet so it has to be true

Really I watched a special when the second set of movies were released and he was talking about it.

I thought the first three (last three) were good. but I'm a star wars guy not much chance I was going to hate anything that was produced.

Also 100% when he made Star Wars he never anticipated more then one movie . . . . the story has nine episodes but he made Episode IV because he thought it was the best story and the only one he was going to get a chance to make.

i think if I'm reading right he will not be a part of episode 7-9 he's handing that off with the purchase of this company

good I'm excited to see them!!!

He had it sold for 5 billion till Disney realized Jar Jar was part of the deal.

By 2015 it will cost $100 to see the new movie.


Maybe worth the $$ unless you want to see A-Team "Mayhem in Detroit" Episode 95 for $15 at the same time..
