Disney is acquiring Lucasfilm for $4.05 billion. I don't really care that much about what it means for Star Wars or anything of the sort. I figure most of everything will eventually be acquired by Disney and if it isn't, it'll be acquired by Time-Warner. Then at some point, either Disney will acquire Time-Warner or Time-Warner will acquire Disney and we will effectively be living in a Communist world.
What intrigues me right now is that number: $4.05 billion. If the buyer pays $4.05 billion for something, that's because the seller turned down $4 billion, turned down $4.01 billion, turned down $4.02 billion, turned down $4.03 billion, turned down $4.04 billion and maybe then said, "Tell you what. Make it $4.05 billion and you've got a deal." And when they turned down the $4 billion, you just know they said, "What? You think we're crazy? You're trying to starve us."
