   I think starting with general principles is often very relevant.

   Well, it’s not Lucas’ property any longer, so the whole debate is   
   pointless.  The only interesting question would be whether or not   
   Lucas considered *similar* viewpoints before he made his decision to   
   sell it to Disney.  If I had a multi-billion dollar decision on the   
   line, I would like to think I’d like to have as many perspectives as   
   possible at my disposal, all the way down to something an idiot like   
   YourName might say.  Selling Star Wars (or any other huge franchise)   
   is the kind of process I’d like to see a documentary about.
