It's easy to poke fun at George Lucas. He directed the prequel trilogy after all, and refuses to acknowledge the original cuts of the first three 'Star Wars' movies. But when Lucas does good, that's no joke. And today word broke that Lucas will be giving the majority of the money he got for selling Lucasfilm to educational philanthropy.
Today's news that George Lucas is selling Lucasfilm and 'Star Wars' to Disney is so crazy that it's hard to believe it's true. Which may be why Lucas made a video to talk about the handover.
Are you ready for a sequel to "Return of the Jedi?" Well, like it or not, you're going to get one. Disney just gave George Lucas $4.05 billion today with the express purpose of buying Lucasfilm and making the next THREE episodes of the Star Wars saga.
