The Walt Disney Company has purchased George Lucas’ film company, Lucasfilm Ltd, for $4 billion and is already planning for more Star Wars movies, the earliest of which will premiere in 2015. ”It’s now time for me to pass Star Wars on to a new generation of filmmakers,” Lucas said in a statement. Lucas, who will act as “creative consultant” on episodes 7 ,8, and 9, had previously told press that the Star Wars franchise was dead, so this news will come as a great surprise to fans. Keep reading for the complete press release, a video in which George Lucas talks about the future of the Star Wars franchise, and forward looking statements from Robert A. Iger (Disney’s Chairman and CEO) and Jay Rasulo (Disney’s Senior Executive Vice President and CFO).

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away…. alternate universes collided as the stars of MTV’s Teen Mom 2 merged with the iconic creations from the world of George Lucas’s Star Wars films.

No story here just the silly product of a boring Saturday, the internet and Photoshop. I was going to call this The Queen Black Swanidala but that was before I did a little research and realized Mila Kunis actually plays The Black Swan in the movie – Natalie is The Swan Queen. See, you actually learned something! Or were at least reminded of something you already knew.
Earlier today I ran across this amazing video interview of Harrison Ford from 1977, just as the Star Wars phenomenon was taking off.

This video really deserves a Wook-see!
