The whole press release is long and pretty awesome read but some highlights are:
Disney will buy Lucasfilm for a small price of $4.05 billion! Pocket change for the House of Mouse.
Current co-chairman Kathleen Kennedy will become President of Lucasfilm. Sorry George.
Disney will intrigate Star Wars into Disney theme parks in Anaheim, Orlando, Paris and Tokoyo. Pretty sweet! We can see Goofy and Chewie break it down in the park music show.
And lastly the little tidbit that Disney wants to release Star Wars Episode 7 in 2015!!! Not just one movie but release a new trilogy with films getting released every 2 years! It's all crazy I know it's freaking me out just a little..but pretty awesome to know George said he has story treatments for 7, 8, 9 and even farther in future. This man plans ahead. He realizes he created something bigger than him and it's so good to know he is fully aware of it and accepting enough to help with it. He will remain on hand during the film production as creative consultant/Yoda on shoulder.
A sad thing that was mentioned in a press conference is Indiana Jones will be put on ice for the near future with George saying they will concentrate on Star Wars franchise for time being. So no Dr. Jones going off getting into some trouble with some foreign nations bad guys over an artifact that belongs in a museum. *man cry*
Here is the full press release and videos of them discussing Star Wars future. (very informative) and next video is the signing of papers for the acquisition with a speech by Lucas before it. (pretty good too).
