If you have not already read it, heard it, or had someone stop into your office, Disney is buying Lucasfilm for 4.05 billion dollars in cash and stock.
From the link:
“This transaction combines a world-class portfolio of content including Star Wars, one of the greatest family entertainment franchises of all time, with Disney's unique and unparalleled creativity across multiple platforms, businesses, and markets to generate sustained growth and drive significant long-term value.”

Sobs And they have plans to release Episode 7 in 2015.
I'm a little surprised by how little I'm surprised by this.
I think the next Jar-Jar will look quite a bit (more) like Goofy.
They can not ruin what is already out there for me. Heck, Lucas already tried that. I credit the man for bringing it into existence, but I look forward to seeing if someone else (c'mon someone like Ron Howard) can do something more with it.
What if they try to reboot it?!? No!!!!
Episode 7 in 2015 … Disney better know what they're doing
+Schuyler Grey – as long as the reboot is for 1-3, that's fine by me – especially if they use this guy's ideas: WHAT IF "STAR WARS: EPISODE I" WAS GOOD? (Belated Media)
I don't think this is gonna go down well that shocks me although i cant believe star wars just got transfered with a snap of a finger i don't think Disney will do it right.
dont forget the original Star wars series was made for Kids, not that you(may) have grown up and think Star wars is for adults, thinking it should be as dark as Batman begins? I think Disney will do good. Goofy as Darth Vader is cool
I dont like that companies are even allowed to do this. Doesnt Disney own AOL and McDonalds too?
+Bryan Beck why not? Mr Lucas cannot live forever so he passing it on to some he who thinks can look after it…and no, Disney may own a MacDonald franchise but not all macdonals. You can own a MacDonald if you want, its a franchise.
Here's a public radio discussion, but George Lucas isn't in it.
