Walt Disney Buys Lucasfilm and Star Wars
10/30/12 - Walt Disney agreed to buy
filmmaker George Lucas's Lucasfilm Ltd and its Star Wars
franchise for $4.05 billion in cash and stock, including a
promise for a new film in the series by 2015.
Disney
Chief Executive Bob Iger said the plan is to release a new
movie in the series every two to three years thereafter.
Lucas will remain as a creative consultant on the new films.
"It's now
time for me to pass 'Star Wars' on to a new generation of
filmmakers," Lucas said.
Iger said
he and Lucas first discussed a possible sale about 18 months
ago. Lucas was pondering his retirement, and Iger was
looking to add another well-known brand to the Disney
empire.
Besides
Star Wars, the Lucasfilm deal also includes rights to the
Indiana Jones franchise, though Disney did not elaborate on
any plans for that series. |

Mars Rover
Curiosity Discovers Streambed This is undeniably the coolest photo yet finding evidence of liquid (probably water) flowing on Mars. NASA believes this happened millions of years ago. The Gale Crater was selected as a landing site to prove early suspicions. The Rover is on a two-year mission to search for evidence of past habitable conditions. The final goal of the rover is to examine layers of clay that underlay the foothills of Mount Sharp, the 3.4-mile-high mountain in the center of Gale Crater. It is expected to arrive in those foothills in about a year. Don't you get the feeling that it's inevitable the Rover will find signs of life too?

Spider-Man Turns
50 Spider-Man was created by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko and first appeared in Amazing Fantasy #15 on August 1962. Lee and Ditko conceived the character as an orphan being raised by his Aunt May and Uncle Ben, and as a teenager, having to deal with the normal struggles of adolescence in addition to those of a costumed crimefighter. The popular saying "with great power there must also come great responsibility" was a line included in a text box in the final panel of the first Spider-Man story. Source: Wikipedia |
