So to me, that guy is irrelevant, he is the literal reason Star Wars sold for only $2b (the other $2b were Disney stocks), when Pixar sold for 7b... Pixar, is worth more than Indiana Jones, ILM and Star-Wars together. That is how run down and ruined this once, greatest of all franchises, is.
Thats a great point. $4b seems low for everything. I wonder if lucas had to LOWER his price to make sure disney bought it. In that linked youtube interview he talked about how he wanted to make sure it went to someone who could grow it for a long time to come, and protect it too. I wonder if lucas was the one who went to disney to offer it up.
I also wonder if disney will do anything with any of the other lucasarts IP like day of the tentacle, full throttle, grim fandango... and of course xwing/tie fighter.
