George Lucas Gets Engaged

After seven years of dating, George Lucas has finally put a ring on it. The 68 year old Lucas is engaged to his 43 year old girlfriend Mellody Hobson. So, if my math is correct he was 61 when they started dating and she was 36. I guess he is trying to get married before he turns 70. I wonder what made him finally ask. Maybe the sale of his company? Mellody is the president of an investment company in Chicago.

    Yes, what a pretty lady! He looks kind of pale and lumpy next to her.

    Maybe she's a Star Wars fan.

    @FSP Me too. But he hardly has reason for a fake marriage, does he?

    @FSP- I think he just took some time off to concentrate on being a single parent after his divorce.

    No, he's not gay but he often took Spielberg as a "date" to events and wasn't seen much with women before Mellody Hobson. I think his kids are all grown now so why not? She certainly isn't a gold digger.

    Patrick Dempsey just bought Tullys Coffee in Seattle. He outbid Starbucks! As a Seattleite, this is pretty cool.

    He is an odd man, but good luck to both of them.

    Aw, they look so happy. I'm glad he married someone who will help him invest his gazillions instead of just someone who will spend it.

    I hadn't known that he had a girlfriend.

    Wow she's pretty and obviously very smart. Notice how he waited for the payoff from Disney to marry..Now he gets to share that with her and probably wants to. Wish them all the happiness in the world.

    LOL...I had to ask my daughter how much he sold Star Wars TO Disney for. She quickly answered, "$4 million but it as 1/2 cash and 1/2 Disney stock." She probably knows the entire structure of the sale....

    She's a total Star Wars nerd.

    Wonder if he sold to Disney, so he could move to Chicago. He is big in Marin.

    I LOOOOOOOVE Mellody. I used to watch her on the GMA finance segments, and she was so sweet, brilliant and seemed excited to educate people about what can be a boring topic

    Lola:
    I got goosebumps reading that Lucas was going to donate 4 billion dollars from the Disney sale. Wow. I wish those two lovebirds all the best

    Speculation is he will donate it to his charity, Edutopia (thanks again, Lola Jr., lol) which funds education initiatives (which is his thing). I'm not sure what non-profits, specifically that Edutopia funds but I do know they help fund Science Fridays on NPR (that info is all me, btw), which I love (and it's all about me, after all).

    Since he is being charitable with Star Wars cash, I forgive him for Jar Jar and wish him eternal happiness, he sure looks content...

    I'm surprised no one mentioned his famous relationship with Linda Ronstadt. Or was that just something that we in the local area talked about?
