George Lucas’s Generous Donation to Education
Apparently, the owner of Lucasfilm Ltd company to Walt Disney, which means the muti-billion dollar company that George Lucas the reason why there’s Star Wars films is going to be under Walt Disney. The money that Lucas is getting from selling his company is over 4 billion dollars. And he plans to take the money he receives from Walt Disney and donate it to education. As the chairman of Edutopia, an organization that supports schools, it is said that more than likely the money will go to the organization.
The article was really short, wasn’t really informative either. All I got from the article is that George Lucas sold his company and plans to donate his money to education. However, the article doesn’t answer my question on who will receive the money. I think the writer should write about the past organization that Lucas donated money to. Then people would know the many organizations that might receive the money. Maybe the author could also quoted what the heads of those organizations said about the donation they received from Lucas.

It seems they don’t know the answer to your question, Cammy. They assume it will Edutopia since Lucas has connections to it, but that’s a guess. This is a story, I think, mostly because of who (Lucas) and because the announcement is coming so fast on the heels of the sale.
