Originally founded as an independent studio by George Lucas in 1971, Lucasfilm is mainly known for its ''Star Wars'' and ''Indiana Jones'' franchises, as well as founding the sound technology company [[THX]] (which it later spun off in 2002), the special effects studio Industrial Light & Magic (ILM), and the video game publisher [[LucasArts]]. | ||
On October 30, 2012, the Walt Disney Company purchased Lucasfilm for $4.05 billion. Disney owns the rights to most films produced by the studio that were released by both [[20th Century Studios|20th Century Fox]] and [[Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios|MGM]], while Lucasfilm retains the copyright. [[Paramount Pictures|Paramount]] owns the distribution rights to Lucasfilm-produced films that they released with Lucasfilm retaining their copyright, as do [[Universal Pictures|Universal]] and 20th Century Fox (itself now owned by Disney) in the case of ''Star Wars''. Distribution of the studio's future films are handled by [[Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures]], and its television output is handled by [[Disney-ABC Home Entertainment and Television Distribution]] (except for ''The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles'', for which [[CBS Media Ventures]] still owns distribution rights). | |||
