No. GL owns Lucasfilm. Disney owns SW. Big diff.
br> According to Wikipedia (which includes references) "The Walt Disney Company acquired Lucasfilm in December 2012 for $2.2 billion in cash and $1.855 billion in stock."

From the same Wikipedia article: "Kathleen Kennedy, co-chairman of Lucasfilm, became president of Lucasfilm, reporting to Walt Disney Studios Chairman Alan Horn."

What exactly is the "big diff"?

Lucasfilm does other movies for other studios besides SW for Disney.

What I am saying is Disney will make the decisions on SW not Kathleen Kennedy.

I apologize. SW geek that I am I didn’t realize that Disney bought Lucasfilm. I thought Disney just bought SW. I have been schooled today.
