Disney acquired Lucasfilm on October 30, 2012, for $4.05 billion in the form of cash and stock, with $1.855 billion in stock.

History

Independent era (1971–2012)

Lucasfilm was founded by filmmaker George Lucas in 1971, and incorporated as Lucasfilm Ltd. on September 12, 1977. In the mid-1970s, the company's offices were located on the Universal Studios Lot. Lucas founded the Star Wars Corporation, Inc. as a subsidiary to control various legal and financial aspects of ''Star Wars'' (1977), including copyright, and sequel and merchandising rights. It also produced the 1978 ''Star Wars Holiday Special'' for 20th Century Fox Television. That year, Lucas hired Los Angeles-based real-estate specialist Charles Weber to manage the company, telling him that he could keep the job as long as he made money. Lucas wanted the focus of the company to be making independent films, but the company gradually became enlarged from five employees to almost 100, increasing in middle management and running up costs. In 1980, after Weber asked Lucas for fifty million dollars to invest in other companies and suggested that they sell Skywalker Ranch to do so, Lucas fired Weber and had to let half of the Los Angeles staff go. By the same year, the corporate subsidiary had been discontinued and its business was absorbed into the various divisions of Lucasfilm.

Between 1981 and 1989, three ''Indiana Jones'' films, written by Lucas and directed by Steven Spielberg, were released. While ''Return of the Jedi'' (1983) was in production, Lucas decided not to pursue further ''Star Wars'' films. Unhappy with the cinema presentation of ''Return of the Jedi'', he created the company THX, which was unveiled on May 20, 1983. Lucasfilm produced the John Korty-directed animated film '' Twice Upon a Time'' (1983). 1985 saw the release of Paul Schrader's '' Mishima: A Life in Four Chapters''. The next year, Jim Henson's ''Labyrinth'' and an adaptation of Marvel Comics' ''Howard the Duck'' were released. Ron Howard directed the fantasy film ''Willow'' in 1988 (written by Lucas); the same year the children's animated film ''The Land Before Time'' was released. In 1992, after viewing an early computer-generated imagery test created by Industrial Light & Magic for ''Jurassic Park'', Lucas announced his intentions to produce a Star Wars Prequel Trilogy. In 1994, the long-delayed ''Radioland Murders'' (written by Lucas) was released. In 1995, Lucas began production on the prequel trilogy. The trilogy took 10 years to make, ending with the release of the third prequel '' Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith'' in 2005. In addition to the prequels, Lucas released the ''Special Editions'' for the Star Wars Original Trilogy in 1997, 2004 and 2011, for VHS, DVD and Blu-ray.

In 1987, the company, which at that time, was expanding from three to five films a year on its own, decided to increase making its Northern California production facilities available to other filmmakers. In 1989, Lucasfilm launched a new subsidiary Lucasfilm Entertainment Group (later LucasArts Entertainment Company) in order to consolidate all four units, which are Industrial Light & Magic, Lucasfilm Commercial Productions, Lucasfilm Games, and Sprocket Systems.

In 2005, Lucasfilm opened a new studio in Singapore. That same year, Lucasfilm Animation commenced production of a 3D animated Star Wars television series called '' Star Wars: The Clone Wars'', with key production team members including executive producer Catherine Winder, supervising director Dave Filoni, Head of Lucasfilm Animation Singapore Chris Kubsch, and Henry Gilroy. Primary production took place at Lucasfilm Animation's Singapore studio. Airing on Cartoon Network between 2008 and 2013, ''The Clone Wars'' was well received by fans and was nominated for several film awards including the Daytime Emmy Awards and the Annie Awards.

In January 2012, Lucas announced his retirement from producing large-scale blockbuster films and instead re-focusing his career on smaller, independently budgeted features. In June 2012, it was announced that Kathleen Kennedy, a long-term collaborator with Steven Spielberg and a producer of the ''Indiana Jones'' films, had been appointed as co-chair of Lucasfilm Ltd. It was reported that Kennedy would work alongside Lucas, who would remain chief executive and serve as co-chairman for at least one year, after which she would succeed him as the company's chairperson, which she did in June 2013.Richard Verrier and Ben Fritz

On July 8, 2012, Lucasfilm's marketing, online, and licensing units moved into the new Letterman Digital Arts Center located in the Presidio in San Francisco. It shares the complex with Industrial Light & Magic. Lucasfilm had planned an expansion at Skywalker Ranch in Marin County, California, but shelved the plan in 2012 due to opposition from neighbors. However, it still plans to expand elsewhere. Skywalker Sound remains the only Lucasfilm division based at Skywalker Ranch.

On September 5, 2012, Micheline Chau, who served as president and COO of Lucasfilm for two decades, announced that she was retiring. With her departure, senior executives for each of the Lucasfilm divisions would report directly to Kathleen Kennedy. Chau was credited with keeping the Lucasfilm and ''Star Wars'' brands strong, especially through animation spin-offs and licensing initiatives.

Subsidiary of The Walt Disney Studios (2012–present)

Acquisition process

Discussions relating to the possibility of The Walt Disney Company signing a distribution deal with Lucasfilm officially began in May 2011, after a meeting that George Lucas had with the then Disney CEO Bob Iger during the inauguration of the Star Tours – The Adventures Continue attraction. Lucas told Iger he was considering retirement and planned to sell the company, as well as the ''Star Wars'' and ''Indiana Jones'' franchises. On October 30, 2012, Disney announced a deal to acquire Lucasfilm for $4.05 billion, with approximately half in cash and half in shares of Disney stock. Lucasfilm had previously collaborated with the company's Walt Disney Imagineering division to create theme park attractions centered on ''Star Wars'' and ''Indiana Jones'' for various Walt Disney Parks and Resorts worldwide.

Kathleen Kennedy, co-chairman of Lucasfilm, became president of Lucasfilm, reporting to Walt Disney Studios Chairman Alan Horn. Additionally, she serves as the brand manager for ''Star Wars'', working directly with Disney's global lines of business to build, further integrate, and maximize the value of this global franchise. Kennedy serves as producer on new ''Star Wars'' feature films, with George Lucas originally announced as serving as a creative consultant. The company also announced the future release of new ''Star Wars'' films, starting with '' Episode VII: The Force Awakens'' in 2015.

Under the deal, Disney acquired ownership of ''Star Wars'', ''Indiana Jones'', and Lucasfilm's operating businesses in live-action film production, consumer products, video games, animation, visual effects, and audio post-production. Disney also acquired Lucasfilm's portfolio of entertainment technologies. The intent was for Lucasfilm employees to remain in their current locations. ''Star Wars'' merchandising would begin under Disney in the fiscal year 2014. Starting with ''Star Wars Rebels'', certain products will be co-branded with the Disney name, akin to what Disney has done with Pixar. On December 4, 2012, the Disney-Lucasfilm merger was approved by the Federal Trade Commission, allowing the acquisition to be finalized without dealing with antitrust problems. On December 18, 2012, Lucasfilm Ltd. converted from a corporation to a limited liability company, changing its name to Lucasfilm Ltd. LLC in the process,. On December 21, 2012, Disney completed the acquisition and Lucasfilm became a wholly owned subsidiary of Disney.

At the time of Disney's acquisition of Lucasfilm, 20th Century Fox, the original distributor of the first six ''Star Wars'' films, were to retain the physical and theatrical distribution rights to both the prequel trilogy and Episodes ''V'' and ''VI'' of the original trilogy until May 2020, along with full distribution rights for the original 1977 film in perpetuity. Lucasfilm retained the television and digital distribution rights to ''Star Wars'' Episodes ''I'' through ''VI'' with exception to Episode ''IV''. On March 20, 2019, Disney officially acquired 20th Century after acquiring its owner, 21st Century Fox, thus consolidating all the distribution and ownership rights to all the films under its umbrella. In December 2013, Walt Disney Studios purchased the distribution and marketing rights to future ''Indiana Jones'' films from Paramount Pictures, although the latter studio would retain the distribution rights to the first four films and would receive "financial participation" from any additional films.

Kathleen Kennedy era, 2012–present

In early 2013, Iger confirmed that Lucasfilm planned to have standalone ''Star Wars'' films released during the six-year period the Sequel Trilogy was released. The first of these released was ''Rogue One'' (2016), and the second was '' Solo: A Star Wars Story'' (2018).

In April 2013, the video game development arm at LucasArts was closed down and most of its staff laid off. LucasArts remained open with a skeleton staff of fewer than ten employees so it could retain its function as a video game licensor. On May 6, 2013, Disney announced an exclusive deal with Electronic Arts (EA) to produce ''Star Wars'' games for the core gaming market for a decade. LucasArts retained the ability to license, and Disney Interactive Studios retained the ability to develop ''Star Wars'' games for the casual gaming market. On April 14, 2014, EA released its first ''Star Wars'' game under the Disney brand and their ten-year contract is set to expire on April 14, 2024.

On January 3, 2014, Lucasfilm announced that Dark Horse Comics' license for ''Star Wars'' comics would end in 2015, and return to fellow Disney subsidiary Marvel Comics. On April 24, 2014, Lucasfilm announced that the ''Star Wars'' Expanded Universe would be rebranded 'Legends' and no longer be canon and that only Lucas' episodic films and ''The Clone Wars'' would be considered canon in addition to new works, including the ''Rebels'' animated series, which would be overseen by a new story group. Disney Publishing Worldwide also announced that Del Rey would publish a new line of canon ''Star Wars'' books under the Lucasfilm story group being released starting in September on a bi-monthly schedule.

On January 16, 2014, Lucasfilm opened its Sandcrawler building on Fusionopolis View in Singapore as its regional headquarters with all staff moved from Changi Business Park. The Walt Disney Company Southeast Asia and ESPN Asia Pacific were also moved into the building. Between December 2015 and May 2018, Lucasfilm released four Star Wars cinematic films: '' Episode VII: The Force Awakens'' (December 18, 2015), '' Rogue One: A Star Wars Story'' (December 10, 2016), '' Episode VIII: The Last Jedi'' (December 9, 2017), and '' Solo: A Star Wars Story'' (May 10, 2018). While ''The Force Awakens'', ''Rogue One'', and ''The Last Jedi'' were both a critical and box office successes, ''Solo'' received mixed responses and underperformed at the box office.

In April 2017, IDW Publishing acquired a license to produce a range of all-ages Star Wars comics, commencing with ''Star Wars Adventures''.

In mid-September 2018, Disney CEO Bob Iger stated in an interview with ''The Hollywood Reporter'' that there would be a "slow down" in the production of ''Star Wars'' films following the under-performance of ''Solo'' at the box office. In addition, Iger also confirmed that several ''Star Wars'' films including ''The Rise of Skywalker'' and David Benioff and D. B. Weiss' films were in development. Benioff and Weiss subsequently exited their film production deal with Lucasfilm in October 2019 after entering into a US$200 million film production deal with Netflix.

In late September 2018, Kennedy's contract as president was renewed for three additional years and is set to retire on October 30, 2021. In June 2019, Michelle Rejwan was named as senior vice president of live-action development and production. On December 20, 2019, Lucasfilm released its fifth cinematic film ''The Rise of Skywalker'', which wrapped up ''The Skywalker Saga'' and received mixed reception from fans and critics.

In addition to the cinematic films, Lucasfilm Animation also produced several animated television shows including ''Star Wars Rebels'' (2014–2018), '' Star Wars Forces of Destiny'' (2017–2018), and ''Star Wars Resistance'' (2018–2020). In October 2018, Lucasfilm commenced work on a live-action streaming series called ''The Mandalorian'' with Jon Favreau, Dave Filoni, Kathleen Kennedy, and Colin Wilson serving as executive producers. Premiering on the Disney+ streaming service on November 12, 2019, the series received critical acclaim and was renewed for a second season.

In late February 2020, Lucasfilm launched a multimedia publishing project called '' Star Wars: The High Republic'', which is set 200 years before the events of ''The Phantom Menace'' and features the Jedi at the height of their power. ''The High Republic'' involved several authors including Claudia Gray, Justina Ireland, Daniel José Older, Cavan Scott and Charles Soule.

During Disney Investor Day's conference in December 2020, Kennedy announced that Lucasfilm would be producing several new films and television shows including a ''Rogue Squadron'' movie directed by Patty Jenkins, an untitled film directed by Taika Waititi, the ''Ahsoka'', ''Rangers of the New Republic'', '' Andor'', ''Obi-Wan Kenobi'' and ''The Acolyte'' live-action Disney+ streaming series, the animated '' Star Wars: The Bad Batch'' and anime '' Star Wars: Visions'' Disney+ streaming series. In addition, Lucasfilm announced that it was working on a sequel to the 1988 fantasy film ''Willow'' and an adaptation of Tomi Adeyemi's young adult novel ''Children of Blood and Bone''.

In the summer of 2020, Lucasfilm quietly promoted Dave Filoni as executive producer and executive creative director for the studio. However, his promotion was never announced to the public until Lucasfilm updated its list of executives on its website with the addition of Filoni in May 2021.

In mid-November 2021, Dark Horse Comics announced that it would be collaborating with Lucasfilm and Disney Publishing Worldwide to publish a new line of all-ages Star Wars comics and graphic novels. Dark Horse had previously held the licensing rights for producing Star Wars comics between 1991 and 2015.

In January 2022, Paramount Pictures acquired the rights to Adeyemi's ''Children of Blood and Bone'' from Lucasfilm. According to ''The Hollywood Reporter'', Adeyemi had grown dissatisfied with the pace of Lucasfilm's production efforts and their decision to deny her request to serve as scriptwriter. Since Lucasfilm wanted to focus on its own intellectual properties ''Star Wars'', ''Willow'' and ''Indiana Jones'', the company allowed the rights to ''Children of Blood and Bone'' to lapse in late 2021.

In mid-September 2022, Lucasfilm confirmed release dates for several television series including ''Andor'', ''Willow'', the second season of ''Star Wars: The Bad Batch'', and the third season of ''The Mandalorian'' at the D23 expo. In addition, Lucasfilm confirmed that it was working on several new productions including the animated series '' Tales of the Jedi'', the live-action series '' Star Wars: Skeleton Crew'', a fifth ''Indiana Jones'' film, and the animated series '' Young Jedi Adventures''.

In November 2022, Studio Ghibli teased a collaboration with Lucasfilm on Twitter. This was then promptly revealed to be '' Zen - Grogu and Dust Bunnies'', an animated short film set in the Star Wars universe, to be released on Disney+.
