I'm sorry, but George Lucas is an idiot for selling the franchise to Disney.

Star Wars could have been its own studio. He could have sold Netflix on a mini-series, for example. Could have created multiple spin-offs under its own studio name.

Remember when Facebook turned down a $1 billion dollar offer from Yahoo and we laughed at them? Well who's laughing now. When you have a product and an eager market for it, you have to hold onto to it.

A 4 billion dollar retirement offer?

This is the range of crazy unimaginable and wildly bizarre wealth. Spending the 2% interest only, is $10,000/hour. Trying to spend down the principle is $500,000/hour and he was not poor before. It would be a full time job, ala Brewster’s Millions, a movie about economics.
