Disney purchases Lucasfilm
I'm sure most of you have already heard, but it was announced today that Disney has purchased Lucasfilm for approximately $4.5 billion dollars, and announced that Star Wars Episode VII will be released in 2015, with VIII and IX to be released every two to three years after, with more movies to come after that.
Can't forget to point out that included in the deal is the acquisition to Industrial Light and Magic as well as the rights to Indiana Jones.
Also kind of interesting that Star Wars is now under the same umbrella as Marvel, who did the comics for 10 years before Dark Horse began its publishing deal with Lucasfilm. We'll have to see if Dark Horse will continue to publish Star Wars comics beyond the near future, or whether or not Marvel will once again handle the reins.
