When I first saw the headline, I suspected--I hoped--that it would link to an Onion article. But no:
Disney is paying $4.05 billion to buy Lucasfilm Ltd., the production company behind ‘‘Star Wars,’’ from its chairman and founder, George Lucas. It’s also making a seventh movie in the ‘‘Star Wars’’ series called ‘‘Episode 7,’’ set for release in 2015, with plans to follow it with Episodes 8 and 9 and then one new movie every two or three years. [...]
Lucas said in a statement, ‘‘It’s now time for me to pass ‘Star Wars’ on to a new generation of filmmakers.’’
Perhaps there's nothing to worry about. After all, Disney has done well with Marvel since acquiring that company.

This means there's going to be someone above George who can say "No, George, that's a bad idea." Now.
