Good Guy George: Makes 4 billion dollars, gives it all to charity

Spokesperson for Lucasfilm tells THR the majority of the sale price will go toward educational philanthropy.

By the end of the year, the $4.05 billion sale of Lucasfilm to Disney should be finalized. And since George Lucas owns 100 percent of his company - which has little to no debt - all that money goes to him.

After that, Lucas plans to quickly put the bulk of the money into a foundation which will primarily focus on educational issues, a spokesperson for Lucasfilm tells THR.

“George Lucas has expressed his intention, in the event the deal closes, to donate the majority of the proceeds to his philanthropic endeavors.”

It's not yet clear which foundation will get the proceeds. Lucas is currently the chairman of Edutopia, which is part of the George Lucas Educational Foundation. He could put money into that or create a new foundation which would be funded from the sale.

The Foundation was the vehicle Lucas used to make a $175 million donation to his alma mater USC in 2006. He has also given to many other causes over the years including the Film Foundation, Stand Up To Cancer and the Make-A-Wish Foundation.

“For 41 years, the majority of my time and money has been put into the company,” Lucas said in a statement Wednesday. “As I start a new chapter in my life, it is gratifying that I have the opportunity to devote more time and resources to philanthropy.”

The spokesperson noted that this “announcement continues a commitment that Lucas made in 2010 to The Giving Pledge where he stated, “I am dedicating the majority of my wealth to improving education. It is the key to the survival of the human race. We have to plan for our collective future—and the first step begins with social, emotional, and intellectual tools we provide to our children. As humans, our greatest tool for survival is our ability to think and to adapt—as educators, storytellers, and communicators our responsibility is to continue to do so.’”

jj abrams would be as bad a michael bay. seriously, see how much of a joke that star trek movie he did is.

a mate reckons that matthew vaughn was taken off directing xmen: days of futures past (replaced by bryan singer) to do the star wars flick. i could dig that choice. brad bird would be good also. ideally, i'd like to see the director of district 9 at the helm.

Could not diagree about JJ Abrams more I thought the Star Trek reboot was awsome and I went in expecting utter garbage. I think Star Wars needs to pick what they want to be as in do they want to be an action movie genre or a science fiction movie genre. And do they want to target kids or adults. If those decisions are not made correctly they will kill the franchise

Ack, it wasn't bad. I enjoyed it for what it was - a campy origins reboot. But it wasn't canon by any means, and it kinda shat(ner) on the best parts of Trek.

Abrams would be a poor choice, however. He doesn't have the pedigree to pull it off over a trilogy. To be honest, the whole Disney thing makes me shudder the more I think about it...

jj abrams star trek is not a reboot, it is a parody. look closer. he does good action sequences, i grant that.

oh and the villains were shit. tattooed romulans, oh so creative with them tattoos. poor eric bana.



anyway, abrams has ruled out doing star wars so the point is not longer pertinent.
