Have you really escaped politics? The cynical view is Lucas Films sold out this year to escape the higher capital gain tax rates in 2013.

Noah, I'm sure Lucas will contribute his profit to the government to help pay down the deficit. You know, do his fair share.

I took your niece to Disneyland 2 days after the announcement. They had Star Wars plastered everywhere. You could not throw a shoe without hitting something Leia, Yoda, and the gang.

He has probably paid his fair share several times over. You know how many jobs he is responsible for? How much in taxes IL&M has paid. I am sure there are significant Cap gains to be paid even though he sold out this year.

Thank you for sharing

Entirely correct.... As always, it is the other people that must pay more. Afterall, we all know that george, of all people, deserves to keep as much as he can.

How are the other people paying more?
Nehemiah
If George is a good liberal he should be willing to pay way more then
some nasty, greedy conservative. And most of those jobs he created were very high paying. Just ask Harrison Ford.
