$4 BILLION isn't really a lot of money

I mean, it's a lot to me, but not a lot for all that

Interesting.

In 2015, we're planning to release Star Wars Episode 7 – the first feature film under the "Disney-Lucasfilm" brand. That will be followed by Episodes 8 and 9 – and our long term plan is to release a new Star Wars feature film every two to three years.

It's less than Jobs got for Pixar, but still $2.2 billion cash and close to 3% ownership of Disney is a nice nest egg.

I think it's also a bit more stock in the Mouse than HughR has...

I wonder what they are going to do with this 'Episode 7' and the next movies...where will they pick up? After the RotJ? Old Republic? Somewhere in the middle?

Wasnt John Carter a huge Disney Sci-fi flop? Not much hope for these future movies.
