Taking cheap shots at George Lucas for his questionable handling of the Star Wars universe is amusing for a hot minute. When his companies LucasFilm, LucasArts, and Industrial Light and Magic were sold to Disney for a hefty $4 billion, and Lucas revealed he planned on donating the proceeds to charity, fans couldn’t deny him respect. “I am dedicating the majority of my wealth to improving education. It is the key to the survival of the human race. We have to plan for our collective future — and the first step begins with social, emotional, and intellectual tools we provide to our children. As humans, our greatest tool for survival is our ability to think and to adapt — as educators, storytellers, and communicators our responsibility is to continue to do so,” Lucas said in 2010.
