Though it's obviously more of a show business story than it is a technology industry story, the news of
Lucasfilm's $4 billion sale to Disney has reverberated throughout the tech world this afternoon. This is partly just because of
Star Wars' cult status among the geeks (and I use that term with all respect and love) who make the web go 'round. But also, Lucasfilm has straddled the worlds of tech and film in a unique way, with its headquarters in San Francisco instead of LA and its strong operations in tech- and engineering-heavy things such as visual effects, sound design, animation, and gaming.
