Whoa. That’s about half of what Disney paid for Pixar nearly seven years ago. And yes, apparently Star Wars Episode VII is coming in 2015. Update: Here’s the release. Of note, Kathleen Kennedy, the current Co-Chairman of Lucasfilm, will become the president of the group within Disney. You may know her best as Steven Spielberg’s production partner throughout the years. The other key: Ms. Kennedy will serve as executive producer on new Star Wars feature films, with George Lucas serving as creative consultant. Star Wars Episode 7 is targeted for release in 2015, with more feature films expected to continue the Star Wars saga and grow the franchise well into the future. Begun, the post-Lucas Star Wars have. High-res
