ILM is always hiring, you could work right on the Skywalker ranch...I'm not sure how all the division break down under Disney as it is a pretty big company. He's CTO of media and entertainment, not sure there is anymore than that. He was CTO of MPC for a few years.

PM sent with attached Resume.

Creative Accountant applying. I could always move to California and cook me some books!

I think this is just for California. Finance jobs for Disney.

Oh yeah! You want to see a 'Creationeer' or whatever they're called? They've got nothing on me!

The next Star Wars super-villain is going to be the Emperor's Evil Accountant!

Emperor: "We must crush the rebels!"

Me: "I'm sorry, that would just devastate our Q3 Financials, we can afford...hmmm...maybe a medium velocity bitch-slap?

Oh! And the Super Star-Destroyer is down for the moment, I got a killer deal on the Turbo-Laser emplacements, those sales are really going to save our ass after that weak Q1."

It's always entertaining when somebody in a different profession geeks out. Don't get to see the sci-fi accounting angle played out very often.

Funny story, but I think it was in the Jedi Academy trilogy that the Solo brats got lost in the underworld on Coruscant and ran into a group of accountants that had made a entry mistake and feared Palpatine's wrath so much that they fled into hiding and founded their own civilization.

I could see that.

It would make a helluva boring movie though.

Heading to Florida next week to hit up Disneyworld and go to the Flames games in the area.

Pretty excited to see what kind of awesome stuff they have in the parks for the new movie.

Where is Luke Skywalker?

“These are good questions to be asking!” Abrams told the AP when asked why Skywalker hadn’t appeared in any of the “Star Wars” trailers. “I can’t wait for you to find out the answer… It’s no accident.”

Was at Magic Kingdom yesterday... the stores all have SW stuff in them but nothing overwhelming. The is a full store at Disney Springs (formerly Downtown Disney) that is all Star Wars. Its all the same merchandise at all the stores though... I was kinda disappointed. Maybe they ramp it up closer to the launch.

Maybe it's already in the thread somewhere, but a great article on why the RotJ might actually be about Luke turning to the Dark Side:

I'm kind of on board with what Captain is saying, but with a bit of an alteration

I think we may see some shades of the Clone Wars series episodes "Overlords", "Altar of Mortis", and "Ghosts of Mortis" where the family of dark-side brother, light-side sister and father figure Luke trying to reign them in and bring balance to the Force.

That's really interesting as a thought.

If I remember that three episode arc we saw that the whole Force was thrown significantly out of balance when the Sister and Father died , basically the Force fell hard to the Dark Side which was an unintended benefit to Palpatines plans.
