Disney has announced that they've purchased George Lucas' production company,  Lucasfilm,  for $4.05 BILLION.
Disney says a 7th "Star Wars" movie is in the works and will be released in 2015.  It's being referred to as"Star Wars, Episode Seven",  so it would follow the events of "Return of the Jedi".  This will be the beginning of a 3rd  trilogy, which will include more movies.  A source says, "Our long-term plan is to release a new 'Star Wars' feature film every two to three years.  "The deal to acquire Lucasfilm came with an extensive, and detailed treatment for the next three movies."
George Lucas will serve as a "creative consultant" on the new "Star Wars" movies, but he won't be writing or directing them.  In a statement, he said, "It's now time for me to pass 'Star Wars' on to a new generation of filmmakers." He will receive half in cash and other half of the billions in stocks.
