Star Wars creator George Lucas married his long-time
girlfriend Mellody Hobson at his Skywalker ranch in California over the
weekend. It’s the second wedding for the 69-year-old Lucas, who was married to
film editor Marcia Lucas from 1969 to 1983. It is the first marriage for
44-year-old Hobson who is an investment firm president and an analyst for CBS
News.
His son Jett was his best man and his daughters,
Katie and Amanda, served as bridesmaids, Huffington wrote. It was the first marriage
for 44-year-old Hobson, while Lucas was marrying the second time. Last October,
the creator of the Star Wars and Indiana Jones franchises, sold his production
company Lucasfilm Ltd. to Walt Disney Co for $4.05 billion.
Since then Disney has announced plans for three new
“Star Wars” films for the big screen which will be made in Britain and a new
animated series to air on television in 2014
Lucas’s second wedding was officiated by U.S.
journalist Bill Moyers and was attended by friends and family including fellow
filmmakers Steven Spielberg and Francis Ford Coppola. Van Morrison flew in to
perform at the reception.
