This afternoon while I was writing some emails and drafts of some future blog posts that you'll soon be seeing here, I received the Breaking News about Disney's purchase of Lucsafilms via an email from Sharon Waxman's TheWrap, our daily entertainment must-read.
A few minutes later I listened to the entire conference call and heard analysts try to alternately pry and parry some good intel out of Jay Rasulo, Disney's CFO, that he didn't want to share, particularly as it involves valuation.
Much of the video above spoken by Disney CEO Robert Iger, better known to some of you as the husband of TV news personality Willow Bay, was later heard in the conference call that I listened to in its entirety.
You can listen to the entire conference call here:

In particular, they didn't want to talk in much detail about what the story is with Fox's distribution contract for prior Star Wars films and Paramount's deal for the Indiana Jones films.
As you listen, while you probably have already heard the big news that a new Star Wars film is slated for release in 2015, Episode 7, make sure you don't sleep on the news that Disney wants to bring Star Wars and its huge cast of characters and narratives to TV in some new fashion, geared towards kids, and to amusement parks.

Yes, it's a day at the races here at the blog!
Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace (1999) -Pod Race (Re-edit)

As you can see, on Tatooine, unlike South Florida, it's a dry heat.
Just like Coachella.
Less believably, a hot princess like Princess Amidala of Naboo walks amongst the hoi-polloi and attends their amusing pod races and nobody- but-nobody bats an eye at her.
On what planet?
