But that's revenue, not profit. I hate when they use that measurement of how cheap Lucasfilm was. -- nm - iSpam Dec 19, 08:54 9
- otoh, that's just the films. add in all the merchandising etc. and it's still dirt cheap -- nm - jar jar trump Dec 19, 08:58
- It's a silly point anyway. The merchandising sales of $5 billion this holiday season is the story. -- nm - David Dec 19, 08:58 1
  - I agree but don't mix revenue and profit! -- nm - iSpam Dec 19, 09:00
- I still wonder why the valuation was so bad compared to awful tech cos -- nm - Beryllium Dec 19, 08:57 5
  - Consider how little value it would have if Lucas still ran it -- nm - General Zeit Dec 19, 11:41

  - I don't think the valuation was a protracted negotiation. He just wanted to sell to Disney. -- nm - David Dec 19, 08:58 1
    - Guess he really needed those zebra burgers. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 19, 09:00
