Disney takeover
Whether you like Disney or can not stand them, you have to admit that they are one of the most powerful companies on the planet right now. They have so much money that they were able to buy the Star Wars franchise from Lucasfilm for over four billion dollars. Now that’s a lot of money.
After the purchase, they made more movies, which also cost millions of dollars in production, and turned a huge profit from box office tickets and merchandise. The profit they received after buying the franchise was well more than what they paid originally, so, in the end, it was a good move by them after all.
