Just because one person involved has billions of dollars doesn't mean none of the other people do either, plus some of that money without a doubt has come from other projects which few if any of the people involved in his flagship ones were involved in.
If you can name another person from LucasFilm that also had, at some point, several hundred million dollars, I'll make an effort to look into that claim.
Kathleen Kennedy. Harrison Ford. Mark Hamill. I could throw a dart on a list of names and get such a person.
Fascinating. You respond with the president of LucasFilm who started, more or less, months before LucasFilm was sold to Disney in 2012, an actor who has had an amazing career well beyond anything related to LucasFilm, and an actor with a career is admittedly most associated with the Star Wars Franchise (though he's done a lot of voice work in unrelated franchises) but who's net worth is only about 20 million.
So 1/3 are actually part of LucasFilm, and that one didn't really work under Lucas. Ford did star in a two franchises under LucasFilm, but he is not part of LucasFilm.
Thanks for wasting a few minutes of my time.
You asked a question and I answered/obliged. The criteria you're giving me now was never specified.
Kathleen technically fills the specified criteria if you remove the context of the conversation, which is whether or not Lucas shared a morally acceptable portion of the billions of dollars of wealth generated by LucasFilm that he took for himself, including the $4 billion he made personally from it's sale to Disney.
Your other two of your allegedly obvious examples are absolutely not from LucasFilm and one of them has a net worth of $20m, which is definitively not "hundreds of millions".
I presume, therefore, that you either argue in bad faith or don't try very hard. In either case, you aren't worth my time anymore.
