Lucas's exwife is going to get a lot of cash.
Damn, Disney gets ILM. I hope they remain industry leaders in CGI.
Wait was ILM part of LucasFilms?
Talk about scraping byPutting the money in a checking account earning 1% interest rate gives you an income of $20 million a year. I might be able to get by with that!
Industrial Light & Magic, Lucas' special effects company.What is ILM? and I am shocked by this news. I am excited to see what Disney can do for LucasFilms.
Also I am going to predict that Disney will purchase other company at 2015. I would guess, Nintendo or Ghibli.

This seems crazy to me.
Disney bought Pixar for $7.4 billion back in 2006.
Disney buys Lucasfilm and ILM for $4 billion in 2012.
Episode 7 may surprise us all.
Nope. He basically drove himself to the point of bankruptcy when they divorced to cut her totally out
Felt really weird waking up to this news.
I always knew that at some point there'd be an Episode 7 or a reboot, but it's pretty crazy to be living in a post Ep7 announcement world.
So what happens to Clone Wars?
Isn't it too late for that, a studio is already contracted to do it. ILM could do cleanup and small stuff during the rush period before the release date if they're needed I suppose but it would uncredited work right?The fact that Disney now owns Lucasfilm makes it all the more silly that ILM isn't doing the effects for Iron Man 3.
I am overwhelmed, wow.
It has been in the rumourmill for a while, but I didn't expect an announcement so soon.
Fantastic news for Star Wars in my opinion, and also great for the Disney parks. Lucasfilm fits so perfectly with the Disney brand in my opinion.

New TV drama on ABC:
'Cloud City', starring Billy Dee Williams.
Make it happen, Disney. =)
thanks for the infoYeah, ILM has been bailing out behind-schedule productions for a long time. In fact, one of their earliest rescue efforts was for a Disney-owned effects house. (Deep Rising)
It wouldn't be uncredited, though. Or necessarily small.
First thing I see on gaf
im in shock
gg Disney GG
I'm curious if this is a total package deal. Do they also get LucasArts, ILM and Skywalker Sound?
4billion wasnt lucas worth more? You guys think mr Lucas might be dying and passing his empire to mickey? Yes mickey is the new sith emperor!!! Obey motherfuckas!
I have a feeling they'll own Nintendo in the next 10 years.Disney should buy sega, apple, and DC comics and become the ULTIMATE company
Wait was ILM part of LucasFilms?
Wait, really? Does this mean they have Lucas Arts as well? hm :/
Maybe Disney can stop Lucas from further shitting all over the Star Wars franchise.
