Lucas replied that he'd recently celebrated his 67th birthday and was starting to think seriously about retiring. ... Lucas had paid close attention to how Disney had handled Pixar ... He calls Disney's decision not to meddle with Pixar 'brilliant'. If he sold Lucasfilm to Disney, he figured there might still be a way to retain some influence over his fictitious universe. Much would depend on who ran Lucasfilm after he retired. He invited Kathleen Kennedy to lunch in New York. ... Lucas asked if she was interested in taking over Lucasfilm. ... In June 2012, he called Iger. ... Still, Iger wanted to make sure that Lucas, who was used to controlling every aspect of Star Wars, from set design to lunchboxes, understood that Disney, not Lucasfilm, would have final say over any future movies. ... Lucas agreed, in theory.
